it has a show log button and a close button available. I have sent the bug report in the past doing what it told me to do in the terminal.

44

Would you be willing to rebuild your live usb stick with your Cinnamon iso? I will be looking up some things.

45

sure I can do that, do I need to wipe the current etched version or can I just re-etche it on this one?

46

As far as I know you can wipe it while ‘re-etcheing’.

47

Okay I wil do that, I appreciate all your help!!!

48

Pleaser check secure boot settings in uefi again. Which options do you have? Secure boot should be on.

49

Secure Boot Mode is set to “Standard” . I just finished re-etching the Ubuntu Cinnamon. Apparently I etched the wrong Iso file. I redownloaded Ubuntu Cinnamon and etched it to my usb.

50

Boot mode is set to UEFI… and Secure boot is Enabled.

Your stick is ready? Please boot into live system (not install). Trying to wipe all partitions from your SSDs before trying to install again.

52

Yep, booting now into Ubuntu Cinnamon… done loading and I just connected to wifi

53

How do I wipe them and which format?

54

Please start a terminal and execute sudo parted -l

Output?

As you wrote before you are ok with wiping sda and sdb?

Then run
sudo fdisk --wipe /dev/sda
sudo fdisk --wipe /dev/sdb

57
