await your further instructions,…

thanks

There are two of the lines like these, and that’s unfortunately expected. Mint does not generate Arch based grub entries correctly.

To work around this Mint/Ubuntu/Debian/etc. bug, you can change the line (in those two places) in Mint as:

  initrd /boot/intel-ucode.img /boot/initramfs-linux-lts.img

and reboot.

Note that if you keep using Mint in charge of grub booting, eventually grub.cfg will be overwritten by some update, losing your changes. Then you’ll have to make the same change again.

But if you choose to use EndeavourOS in charge of grub booting, then you’re OK.

83

thanks manuel,

my intention is to use endevouros exclusively, provided i can get it to work. if you want me to install endevouros exclusively in order to trouble shoot i am happy to give it a try.

anyway will paste above into terminal, reboot and revert

thank yu

nals

84

says command not found
‘’’’’
nals@nals-ZenBook-UX325EA:~$ initrd /boot/intel-ucode.img /boot/initramfs-linux-lts.img
initrd: command not found
nals@nals-ZenBook-UX325EA:~$
‘’’’’’

did i do something wrong ?
nals

85

You should edit file /boot/grub/grub.cfg and change the lines there as instructed.
For example:

  sudo nano /boot/grub/grub.cfg   # and edit the 2 lines

Then reboot.

So that initrd is not a command to run.

86

manuel, thank you. if i could do that i think it would solve the problem, but i could not manage.
‘’’
image
‘’’
would appreciate your guidance

tks

nals

87

Why don’t you post the link to the following command as it will help @manuel to look at what is there.

Edit: I just realized you are only booted in Mint so that command most likely doesn’t work.

88

ok, i did manage to open the file, edit the 2 lines save and close.

on rebooting, there is no grub menu at all. boots straight into mint

Usually we try not to post things like this. We try to upload them to pastebin. Just F.Y.I for next time. I know it’s a bit difficult because you are in Mint as opposed to EndeavourOS which would make it easier. I just wanted to know one thing? Did you only install Mint because EndeavourOS wouldn’t boot the first time you installed it? I’m just trying to understand as you said you would reinstall without Mint. I’m trying to understand why it picked up the wrong UUID in the first place? I’ve never had this issue.

hi rick. will learn more about postbin.

i bought a new computer, installed mint, had issues with sound and hdmi output.

googled around and read that people had sucess on these new zenbooks with an arch linux distro, so installed endevouros. did not boot up, so reinstalled mint as a dual boot.

i am happy to use any distro as long as it gets the computer working for all basic functions. i am not a power user.

91

Did you ever try installing EndeavourOS on it’s own?

92

yes, grub menu comes up, then when i click on the selection, it ends up with the same ‘cannot find UUIDxxx’ message.

nals

93

This happens when you installed it by itself using the whole drive?

94

yes, either way computer ends up not being able to access the partition where endevouros is installed.

obviously live usb does not have to access anything so that boots up fine.

I’m starting to wonder if you could check in the UEFI Bios settings if Sata mode is set to Raid? I would change that to AHCI

Edit: If it is then i would change it and try a new install setting a new GPT and start from scratch wiping it out and install EndeavourOS only.

96

Not sure but creating a new partition table might help. You will get a blank slate do to speak. Beware that doing so will wipe out your drive.

The hardware list shows raid controller. I’m just wondering if it’s set to Raid from new and this is causing it to use the wrong UUID? I don’t see any reason for this happening. It just an nvme drive. Nothing special. The issue with Mint is a grub issue which you can get around if you have EndeavourOS controlling the boot.

98

hi rick,

went into the bios and had a look.

says ‘non RAID physical device’

should i do a new install with seperate / /home partitions etc ?

nals

99

Check the Sata drive settings to make sure it is set to AHCI mode.

Edit: After doing this i would like to see you boot on the live ISO and use gparted from the live ISO and delete all the partitions and create a new GPT partition. This would wipe out your Mint install. Then run the installer and erase disc with the options you want and install the desktop you want from online installer.

If you are willing to try this then we will see the result. It’s entirely up to you if you want to try this.

certainly would like to try.

however how do i check sata drive settings ?, went into the bios and had a look, but could not figure it out.

can i use a terminal command ?
