Salaam, Hello everyone i need help i want instal mx linux 19.2 kde
my system mobo msi a75map33 with Amd apu A10 6800k 4gb ram, i was try instal boot from usb but always get blank and get back restart, i was try all option from grub menu but not succes....Thank's before for everyone

Have you tried the default MX 19.2 Xfce ?

Ok, I think you like plasma more.. But KDE version is AHS based and may not work well on older machines.. Generally it's good with the newest or 1-2 y.o. machines...

You can also post Quick System Info (as in my signature below) via default MX ... (or with any distro, inxi -Fxxxza )

no, i havent tried the default MX 19.2 Xfce...cause i interest to kde so i wan try it, i was try install mint 20, manjaro kde but have same problem.
i was instal mint 20 on virtual box and clone vbox to my hd and working...than i tried instal mx kde to vbox and clone to my hd but not working when choose on grub menu just the machine restart again. and try edit grub with nomodeset just show blinking cursor

Hello godzink78,
Welcome to MX Linux and the forum.
Can you give use a little more information on your system. What video/graphics card is in your machine?

my graphic card amd apu hd 8670d

this i try on tty

I thought you'd be able to boot the default MX . (Or if you have any distro cd/dvd/usb that you were able to boot - no matter old/new -, just use that and exactly inxi -Fxxxza , of course you don't have to download isos again and again..)

That's primarily a myth that AHS packages are bad for old machines--how is Bullseye going to be any good on those if that's the case?

OP's APU is a few months newer than my CPU, and the GPU built into it (a Radeon HD-8670D) is newer than my HD-6570 PCI-E graphics card too, and I just installed AHS on my system. It's working fine so far, so I don't think the fact that he's using AHS is the culprit.

@godzink78, just to clarify: are you having trouble booting the Live USB? Or did you install MX Linux already and can't boot into the installed system?

That makes it even more confusing. I wonder how he's cloning his VB installations of Mint and MX-KDE to his hard drive, and why he doesn't just boot from a live USB and install?

If the OP has already installed Mint couldn't his MX install failures come down to needing to disable Secure Boot prior to installing MX? Or does this not apply where the installs are in Virtual Box?

the trouble booting the from Live USB just blank/my comp restarting after choose instalation option(default or advance option), im not already instal mx linux, but i have instalation from cloning on vbox

Is it that you want to install mx-kde on Virtual Box? or do you want to install it to your HD?

i want to instal to my hd but always failed

What's the actual fail or error code if any? or At what point does it fail to install.
Make sure secure boot is turned off if you have that in the bois , and does the live dvd/usb boot ok?
Will it be a dual boot or stand alone?

Yes but you can post the output of inxi -Fxxxza from Mint and can get better help about normal installation (from live-usb). Still waiting for that.

From these posts in the Ubuntu BUG Tracker forum in 2014, it seems that the onboard Radeon gpu used in your motherboard and other MSI boards of the same vintage was buggy and didn't work well if at all with open source drivers:

I think that your best bet would be to source out a PCIe 16X video card on EBay or Amazon and use it instead of the onboard gpu. Note that you likely will have to disable the onboard gpu in the motherboard's bios.

FWIW, here's the MSI spec sheet for your motherboard:

How did you create the Live USB?

What brand is it? Some models are known trouble magnets. Do you have another different model of pendrive you can use?

Salaam

Try this KDE iso - it has both new & old kernels - try both at your leisure - beware, its very fast .. - Enjoy

PS - you might want to 'invest' a couple bucks in a branded, new USB stick - only say $3 bucks ...

If you are using a MSFT machine, or have access to one, use Rufus - it simply works 101%

Highest Regards

Might try one from this list, also some older model MB do not like USB booting (if that is what you used) hopefully you have a DVD burner.
