Thanks a lot Pulsar. I had the same issue on a Dell, Dual Boot Windows/Linux. Appended Linux Mint 21.2 Victoria. After a few days Linux didn't boot any more, after the grub menu. In my case it turned out the Nvidia driver [nvidia-driver-470] was the cause. I changed it to the open source driver [xserver-xorg-video-nouveau] and now it boots again. BTW, the open source driver [xserver-xorg-video-nouveau] was the default setting after installation, but the [nvidia-driver-470] was recommended. For several days I suspected the grub and wrongly I did a grub repair via live usb.
Thanks for the update. I have tried to do a clean installation of Linux Mint on this laptop and it worked fine unlike with the dual boot issue. I think it is a graphics driver issue though this laptop only an AMD Graphics card.
I don't think it's a problem with the BIOS, and I don't think there is an update for this BIOS either. There's something missing, but I couldn't get to the bottom of it. I had to simply install only Linux Mint on this machine, and then it worked fine, but alongside Windows, somehow it didn't want to work.
@@PulsarTECHupdating the BIOS often prevents Linux from booting,as I read at different forums,because newer Linux kernel should be installed for the newer version of the BIOS.
@@boringboringboringboring I've tried various ways to edit GRUB but with no luck, I was still getting a flashing cursor. It could be the BIOS issue but when installed only Linux Mint there is no such issue, which kinda shows that BIOS is fine for this version of Linux kernel but when installing alongside with Windows it appears. Maybe there is some GRUB editing that needs to be done properly, who knows. Let me know if you find a solution!
Try to run driver updates thru the terminal these commands sudo apt update and then sudo apt upgrade. If it doesn't find the proper driver, go the the manufacture website, see if there's a package available, download it then run sudo apt install "name of the package". Hope this will help.
*I have a solution:✅✅✅ -Select Kali Linux but don’t press Enter yet. -Press e to edit the boot options. -Find the line that starts with linux(end with splash or something like that)and add nomodeset at the end of that line. -Press Ctrl + X or F10 to boot with these options.
In recovery mod open up, update manager, you can find it in search panel hit refresh button in update manager and install any updates, then in the panel disable any external Applets you've enabled and reboot your system, it will boot normally. For my case IP Indicator caused problem.
If you have only Linux Mint installed on the computer and no other operating systems are available, the Grub Boot menu is hidden by default. In order to get the Grub menu at startup, the right Shift key has to be pressed after switching on. Hope this helps!
I think it has somthing to do with the graphics drivers when you on the blinking screen press f1 0n the laptop um using now an hp pavilion g4 it prompts a login page but its only there for a few mins sad for me i forgot the login name it suggested for me
I'll give it a try. Thanks for the update. Unfortunately, I haven't found any concrete fix for this problem besides the one that I showed in this video.
On Acer laptops you can install Linux Mint no problem, but unfortunately, it doesn't start properly after installation. But your Pentium 4, is it a laptop or PC? If it's a PC it shouldn't happen. Also before downloading an ISO image make sure to choose a x86 version, not the x64.
You can check the comments below, one of the viewers told me that you need to create another extra partition but I haven't verified it yet. So if you're interested then you can try and let me know if it really works.
Oh and by the way, if Linux Mint is installed on the computer and no other operating systems are available, the Grub Boot menu is hidden by default. In order to get the Grub menu at startup, the right Shift key has to be pressed after switching on. Hope this helps!
Hi Pulsar ! First of all thank you very much for your videos and dedication 😊 Ive followed every step on your previous linuxmint cinnamon installation video. I am facing the same issue with the underscore flashing. Ive tried the the configuration mode and also nothing- its always restart the processor. I cant get into the list of the different modes (generic or recovery mode). If you could that would be awesome. Thanks in advance PS i am totally new to linuxmint just decided today to take the step forward ;)
Hi Lou, what device are you installing it on? Has the installation finished successfully? Is it the only operating system on your laptop? I would also try another Linux distro just to see if it will work. You can try Pop OS for example. I have a video on my channel on how to install it and make a dual boot with Windows 10. Hope it will help!
Thank you very much, your video helped me a lot, I have a problem with the wifi, it is exactly the same laptop, the network card is not detected, do you think you can make a video or help me??:')
For sure, I have already posted a video regarding WiFi issues on Linux Mint and how to resolve them. Here it is th-cam.com/video/t-93pDLugzw/w-d-xo.html
J' ai rencontré le même problème avec l acer aspire V3 571G. Il faut pendant l installation créer une partition EFI de quelques giga, Et ça marche bien.
@@danielmetsoko8228 donc au lieu d'avoir une seule partition de disons 100 Go pour Linux, vous avez créé une autre partition de 2 Go et formaté en ext4 également pour EFI ? Et détecte-t-il automatiquement cette partition ou avez-vous besoin de spécifier cette partition quelque part ?

After clicking on recovery mode, processes are not running and showing a black screen. Please help me fixing this problem
Cheers! Nice work with these problem solving videos 👍
Happy to help
So, every time boot always do that? enter recovery, resume boot?
That's the only solution I found so far, if you find another way pls share, would be helpful for lots of ppl.
@@PulsarTECH I've also been looking for a solution but haven't found anything other than that, now I'm going to re-install it again

Thanks, perfect, but I do not have advance option
Should the Bios of the PC be updated to the latest version to successfully install the OS?
I don't think it's a problem with the BIOS, and I don't think there is an update for this BIOS either. There's something missing, but I couldn't get to the bottom of it.

It worked on my PC
worked for me too thanks
@@jordandaily7095 do you have that problem everytime you want to start with Linux and you do all of the steps everytime ?
Or everything is fine
After choosing recovery mood there is run some program but some of them says failed then i selected normal boot but doesn't work still blinking ,
Thanks it worked ! I updated my nvidia drivers afterwards and now it starts without problems
Great, I'm glad it worked for you!
This didnot help..I had to remove my new kernel and then reinstalled an old one and even then it didnot work..Does anybody has a solution for this?
Are you trying to install dual operation systems on one machine?
After I leave recovery mode my screen goes black and the only thing I see is the cursor. How can I fix this?
In recovery mod open up, update manager, you can find it in search panel hit refresh button in update manager and install any updates, then in the panel disable any external Applets you've enabled and reboot your system, it will boot normally.

Thank you. How can I get the screen for recovery mode? I can’t see it.

@@PulsarTECH right shift key not working
Thank you very much. Great tip 👍

That is a workaround. Try to check logs from previous boot to find the real reason.
could you please answer my question under your tp link archer review video?

I don't have that menu, we have same error. i tried every single linux and same. Im using intel pentium 4

@@ABUFARAH22 if you choose Download → All Versions → Choose Linux Mint 19 → there's a 32 bit version.
@@PulsarTECH tried it also but its same error..i have successfully installed peppermint os 11
If it helps, I was able to solve this issue by going into safe/recovery mode and install drivers for my graphics card.
Thanks, I have tried that but when I restart the laptop, it still has the same problem. What laptop do you have?
@@PulsarTECH It was installed on a desktop computer. Not a laptop.
@@splatert I see. Thanks for the update.
After I resume it just crashes again
Yes, unfortunately, it's only a temporary solution. If you find the permanent fix, let me know.
On a Dell, not Acer: doesn't work.

Hey its the same problem and solution for my old asus laptop (k43sd)... anyone know to fix this prob without this step

I don't have the recovery mode
Hi, it should be there. Every Linux OS has a recovery mode. Maybe you just need to reinstall it. Let me know how it goes.
