After install cannot boot [Solved]

Specs for that model show storage options: ( this must be that select model ;-/ )

Do you have any type of other slot on the side for an SD chip maybe ? (mine has SD chip slot, and your generic model shows one .)

Possibly that could boot strap you up with grub installed to that?

[razor2021]

@CharlesV is right. A small SD card to bootstrap you for the interim. The KLUDG4U is a UFS chip that must be soldered onto the motherboard. This link shows no interface that can be plugged in --> https://semiconductor.samsung.com/estor ... uhdc-b0e1/

Confirmed "select Model". I am a lucky guy to have been selected.

It has only 2 USB ( one of which is taken up by a wireless adapter, since the Realtek wirelesswon't work) it has an HDMI, and A small port (Tyoe C maybe).
It is for my daughter to homeschool, so maybe I could put grub on a small format USB (so she didn't break it. Or I suppose she could just remove it after booting...

[heydave]

If it has an SD, I cannot find it. Still a lucky guy.

In the meantime, you can even install it to that SanDisk model: USB 3.2 (and even encrypt). Since it's 3.2 it won't be slow and you can carry in your pocket/keyring :D

[heydave]

I reckon that's what we'll have to do. I guess I should have bought an old machine and MXed it up. Would have been cheaper and better. WallyWorld wins again.

I want to thank you and everyone for the help in this thing. I means a lot, and for what it is worth, in the rural community i live in, with lots of older folks and limited incomes, I have been and will continue to push MX. I discovered you on MX19 and quickly switched from "another distro" which I had previously set folks up with. It is still ok, But MX is better, simpler and more useful.

The time you all gave me to try to fix this I cannot repay.

Thank You all Again.

[Charlie Brown]

You're always welcome.

Just, we don't know whether there's something with the disk.. So, later and when you don't feel lazy you can try installing something else, as above, just to see whether the disk boots then...

Also on live session you can run GSmartControl from menu, nothing to lose ...


Thank you, too for trying all the suggestions, these are so valuable feedback to devs.
