My fresh Mint XFCE does not work ever since installing it. It is graphics issue as others have had the same issue

Post by Zeus_1347 »

I have the same laptop and same issues while dual booting: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/597882/422105

BTW i am really sorry but i am typing this on windows and i dont really remember the exact error messages. if needed i will try it tomorrow and take pictures of the exact error messages.

anyway, i tried to follow the guide linked above but it didnt work (error was related to kernel). I couldnt get past the first step. i changed the link to get the latest nvidia drivers.

I read that they had upgraded their kernel to 5.7.8. So i tried to update to 5.8.0(latest i think) using this guide How to Install Linux Kernel 5.8 on Ubuntu and Linux Mint - 9to5Linux. But it didnt work in the last step. Error image(i got this error).

My laptop has integrated amd graphics and dedicated nvidia graphics. Please help

The computer make/model is not enough because, as they say, specifications are subject to change without notice.

Boot into Mint and copy/paste the text output of inxi -Fxxxrz run in the terminal.
