I think I'll pass doing it on the Acer. I've read that the processor can make Linux install difficult, primarily due to the fact that it messes with Grub. But if you have an idea that you think will work, I'd like to give it a go. I did try installing Ubuntu with the fork of WubiUEFI. That...

I always check before I sit down. I've been scarred as an 80's kid with too many horror movies involving toilette's and unsuspecting butts.

Howdy folks, nice to meet you all. I'm an American living in Norway and have been for quite a while. I'm moving back state side eventually, hopefully sooner than later. Not much else to say about me. First dipped my hand in Linux back in '99 and was scared away from it haha. Wasn't before...

Absolutely, I'll stick around. It's a shame, as EOS seemed like the perfect fit for my little machine. Acers, last time I buy one.

I want to thank you all for your support. I appreciate it. I know Linux can be installed on this Acer, but unfortunately it's beyond my capabilities. So instead of wasting your time any further, I thought I'd just let you know that I've reinstalled Windows and will be running that. Thank you...

I don't see anything like that during EOS setup. I can choose folders, and I've tried during install by choosing "Other". But I get a message that no root or boot (don't recall which) isn't set up and that I need to do that. (Something I don't know how to do.)

Ok, I've tried several distros like Fedora, Zorin, Solus, another I don't recall. So far, out of all of these Zorin Core allows me to install but without Grub. And unlike the other distros, I've found the Zorin EFI and can select it on secure boot. However, it will not start telling me that a...

I am using the Live installer and allowing it to automatically install (do everything). I had to use ubiquity -b because the installer will crash about 90% through due to Grub from what I gather. However, using ubiquity -b starts the standard installer and does the exact same process of...

Spousal unit? I'm heading that way myself. :P If you look at my HD picture above, that is my eMMC HD that's soldered to the motherboard of this Acer. This is my bootable thumb drive (see attached picture)

Oh my apologies, thought I had uploaded. Sorry for the poor quality.

So, any thoughts? I'm not having any luck on my own. :(

This is my portable machine, and not used daily so it's no rush to get it up and running. So no worries. Yes, I'm installing EOS via a 32GB thumb drive via USB. As you can see on the "HD" picture, it appears that the EX4 partition contains the EOS installation. It installs successfully...

Here's the requested info. I saw when trying the efibootmgr -v command, it said it wasn't installed and I could install it. So I did. Not sure if I should have.

Welcome back Wizard. Djarin is not my name, but am just outside of Oslo. So good guess either way. It is 1am currently and I'm off to bed. Goodnight all and thanks for the help.

Ok, I usually install from within the live CD as I have to use the terminal to install via ubiquity -b.

What tools in live mode?

Hey jglen, thanks for the continued help. When it came to install, everything was automatic. So if anything is set as GPT or ESP or anything, the ESO installer did it.

I started with zero partitions allowing EOS installer to do that. It created two partitions, an EFI and an EXT4. So it's wherever EOS told it to be. I'm not too knowledgeable with Linux or how it works when it comes to how it installs etc. *Edit This is how EOS set up my HD. /dev/mmcblk1p1...

Ok, I did a clean install. I also completely removed all partitions prior to install. I installed by using ubiquity -b which lead to a successful install. I restart the PC, "No Bootable Device". I've read online that this may be due to a secure boot issue, so I go through the steps suggested...

As I mentioned previously, the entire Windows partition (including recovery) has been deleted. These are ext4 partitions. There were two EXT4's, one with Elementary OS and the other empty. I've formatted the entire hard drive and partitions so there is only one partition with the EXT4 format...
