MX Linux 19.1 is excellent. It works brilliantly via my USB stick, except for the GRUB Bootloader which, even though listed as Fixed after attempted repairs, is not fixed as it won't install MX Linux onto my hard drive despite repeated efforts with numerous rows of "ACPI Error" per sda and other Linux formats, plus "Device /dev/" followed by sda 1, sda 2, loop0 etc not initialized in udev database after waiting 1000000 microseconds.
I have also tried reinstalling GRUB and followed Youtube instruction guides, but still no luck.
In addition, I tried to install MX Linux over Windows 7. Windows is now completely wiped, but the GRUB technical fault has complicated things, as I have to reinstall most programs into MX Linux via my USB stick every time due to currently only being able to run MX via the stick.
Also, the distro is prone to the screen sleeping unexpectedly at random every minute or few minutes and my computer restarts automatically including very recently when a series of alternating vertical green/black bars appeared on my screen, thus freezing my computer requiring me to turn off my computer at the front button which lost all of the MX Live settings.
With or without Conky on display, I am noticing my E-Mail time is incorrect, but the digital clock on the top left of MX 19.1 is the correct hour, but 7 minutes earlier than my watch time. For instance, 5.15pm is incorrectly listed as 1.15pm on my e-mail account.
How do I successfully repair or install GRUB so that I can install MX Linux 19.1 onto my hard drive?
Do I need to reinstall MX Linux from scratch (this time via Linux only) onto a different USB stick, and which at least Linux orientated program for uploading an ISO image into do I need?
How do I turn off sleep and stop my computer from restarting automatically?
