Category: Installing LinuxCNC
Is it really too hard to state I have a xx xxxx computer ?
I don't want to go searching what ever the common name is for the HP machine your using .
Why is it people want to play 20 questions? Is it so hard just provide some simple information.
I'm really not interested whether you are the guy people go to support for or whether you can program in 27 million different languages, that information does not help with the issue at hand.
A normal person would have said I've got XYZ PC and after installing Linux I can't boot from the installation drive. Not I can't install to a USB drive and expect us to know you've tried to install to an internal SATA drive or whatever. We can't read minds, we can only work on the information provided. Surely you must understand this ?
Support is a 2 way street, you need to provide the correct and relevant information so you can be given a correct and relevant answer. So far this has not been the case, you mentioned something about running commands as the superuser but made no indication of what they were no the output.
This is not the World of Windows where you will be told to "update to the latest drivers".
The reason for my troll comment was because you seemed to not want to give a lot of info, or it would seem directly reply to any suggestions. Installation issues regarding any other OS other than the provided Linuxcnc image is beyond our scope of support, but generally we are a helpful community.
But before anything else I would run a live Linuxcnc session and do a latency as described in the docs. If this does not pass I would either reconsider the suitability of the PC in question.
Another to have a search for is for any issues in general regarding installing Linux on your model of PC.
As for Mint or Ubuntu or any other flavour of Linux their respective forums are the best place to get support with installation issues.
