Linux Mint - Dell Mini 10v 1018 Issue

[MikeTX01]

This is my first time ever installing Linux.

So I put in a brand new Samsung 860 EVO V-NAND SSD.


I then installed Linux Mint 19.2 Tina - Cinnamon 64bit. It booted up just fine the after the install. I shut it down and went to boot it back up and now after the Linux Mint boot screen disappears the screen goes black and nothing else happens.

I'm not sure what to do next with this.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks in advance.

Please post an inxi -Fxz report. This will give us a concise overview of your hardware and on how Mint sees it.

Here is how to generate the report and post it:

Boot from your installation media (USB/DVD)
Open a terminal window (Ctrl-Alt-t). Make it fullscreen to avoid unneeded linebreaks or chopped lines. Execute the command

Code: Select all

 inxi -Fxzd 

exactly as it has been typed here.

Mark the complete text output which the command will display with your mouse.
Press the keyboard shortcut <Shift><Ctrl>C to copy the marked text into the clipboard.
Enclose the results between the code markers by selecting </> from the mini toolbar above the textbox where you type your reply then paste <Ctrl>V them in your reply between the code markers.

The results will help us to help you.

Nothing?

[deepakdeshp]

After install from stick, did you remove the stick during reboot?

[MikeTX01]

Yes, I did remove it.

[MikeTX01]

must be an unsolvable issue.

Sorry for My English, i have they same problem with the same model i solve like this:

1) I boot with USB stick with Linux mint Xcfe 64 bits
2) install Linux, when the install is complete reboot, Linux system Will be running fine
3) before You reboot or turn off, Even install updates, Open the command console and type this:
sudo systemctl mask systemd-backlight@leds\:dell\:\:kbd_backlight.service
4) then You can install updates and reboot

I solve this way and they netbook is working fine with Linux mint.

I hope you understand
