lewmur Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Anybody tried the Mint 18 beta? I tried installing it on two different computers and while on the page putting in user info, it throws a error saying the media is corrupt. Re-formated the USB stick, downloaded the ISO again from a different mirror but still get the same error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Are you using DD or unetbootin to put the image on USB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewmur Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 Are you using DD or unetbootin to put the image on USB? Neither. I used gnome-disks. When that didn't work, I tried Rufus in Windows. But I don't think it is an imaging problem. The USB stick boots and runs fine. Just won't install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedon James Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 can you install ubiquity from within the live environment, then install? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymac46 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I got it installed in VirtualBox OK but I didn't have to write an Image on USB to do that. It is giving me messages about Cinnamon running in software acceleration mode but that may just be a VirtualBox thing. The VBox Guest Additions ran well out of the box. I did write a USB image and it booted OK with my AMD video card but I don't intend to install on the rails until the release is final. Maybe not then either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewmur Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) I got it installed in VirtualBox OK but I didn't have to write an Image on USB to do that.

I did write a USB image and it booted OK with my AMD video card but I don't intend to install on the rails until the release is final. Maybe not then either. I was able to install it in Vbox. So the ISO file must be OK. Going to create a DVD instead of the USB stick and see what that does. edit: DVD install worked. Must be a problem with USB drivers.

sunrat Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Are you running correctly in UEFI or Legacy (CSM) mode for your computer? You may have to disable Secure Boot and/or select the mode. I'm no expert on *buntu based stuff though. In Debian you need to select the correct mode in the installer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymac46 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Interesting. I tried the Mint 18 ISO on two different machines. Each has a different Atheros wifi adapter. On the machine with an AR9287 PCI-e adapter the ISO wifi works fine. On the one with an AR922X PCI adapter the wifi card shows up as an Ethernet adapter with cable unplugged. With LM 17 both adapters work OK. Some sort of regression going on. Don't know if it's kernel, network manager or systemd related. For now best idea is I stick to LM 17.

The laptop was trying to install 18 over 17.3. Again, no Windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
