hi I'm anis destroyer of LM root and GRUB

wich one should i choose

[ripe geode]

the sources list file.. kinda missing stuff

bud, I would recommend blank out the root partition . stretch it to the size u really want.

then set up new.

keep home partition intact.

ik yall didn't need that and shity hardware ik ik

[uncut torrent]

yup, mint cinnamon will do

you have enough power for it

you don't need mint xfce unless you want xfce desktop

[solemn pebble]

Cinnamon on its own is really lightweight don't worry about it

[nimble bone]

it was for my usb

[uncut torrent]

yes but keep a ventoy usb with mint cinnamon on it

and looks like you have a corrupted iso or something

[nimble bone]

no

[uncut torrent]

do you have any important data on the mint system?

[nimble bone]

the iso is good

no

just time to do the settings again

[uncut torrent]

you can just then remove all the mint related partitions then reinstall mint clean

way easier than trying to fix the ESP

[nimble bone]

💀

[solemn pebble]

Reinstall linux mint I would recommend you to go on the windows partition you had and make a linux mint bootable drive

[ripe geode]

well...

if ur iso is mint xfce, and u reinstall the root.. ur gonna get Mint xfce

simple as that.. but ur home files should remain where they are

if u do it right

[solemn pebble]

You had anything on your linux mint installation?

[nimble bone]

no

[ripe geode]

this is the best advice, Anis

[nimble bone]

reel

[uncut torrent]

why take the painful route of remaking the ESP, when you can just make a new ventoy usb with mint cinnamon then clean install?

[uncut torrent]

they said they have no data on the mint system so, it's faster to just clean install. also they got the wrong iso

[solemn pebble]

انس احسن شي انك تمسح لنكس منت و ترجع تحملو

[ripe geode]

Yes that's why i concur with what u said

[nimble bone]

no need to speak Arabic i understand English

[ripe geode]

@nimble bone if u have no files/ pictures/ whatever of value in the Home Partition.. just redo the whole thing as advised by Lucien

[solemn pebble]

Well reinstall linux mint if you have any concern I will try to help you

[uncut torrent]

1. boot to windowz
2. get ventoy and the mint cinnamon iso
3. run ventoy2disk.exe as admin then install. then copy mint iso to the ventoy usb
4. reboot to the usb and boot mint.
5. use gparted to delete all the partitions made by the old mint install. keep the NTFS and windowz related ones.
6. close gparted, then clean install mint.
7. ????
8. reboot and enjoy

is that too hard?

@nimble bone

[nimble bone]

i won't do that straightforward guy's sorry. feel free to stop helping me.

[solemn pebble]

Ok

Ramadan mubarak

[nimble bone]

بارك الله فيك. رمضان مبارك لك أيضا

[solemn pebble]

جيبي على راسي

[solemn pebble]

الله يسلمك يا قلبي

[uncut torrent]

please restrain to using english here

[uncut torrent]

not being rude. just saying what you can do to fix this. it's not that hard tbh

[nimble bone]

understood

[nimble bone]

i know. I'd rather try to fix it first. thanks for helping

[uncut torrent]

!translate بارك الله فيك. رمضان مبارك لك أيضا

[uncut torrent]

but the fix is to reinstall.

@ripe geode agrees also

[nimble bone]

Translate, God bless you. Ramadan congratulations to you too

[ripe geode]

mhm

[nimble bone]

bad translation. it's not really congratulations

[ripe geode]

anyways.. im out of here

[nimble bone]

Come on Google translate you can do better

[nimble bone]

Goodnight

[uncut torrent]

so do what I said

[nimble bone]

as a last resort

[uncut torrent]

there's no other easier way. boot repair may or may not work. it's not a silver bullet

[nimble bone]

if i reinstalle it why can't i keep the home partition?

[uncut torrent]

wdym

[nimble bone]

keeping the home partition and installing the root again

and probably grub

[uncut torrent]

that would require you to do a manual install of mint

[nimble bone]

what does that mean?

I just chosed something else and deleted the didn't delet the home partition

deleted thr grub partition too. it had errors

[ripe geode]

do 'something else' option using Linux Mint Cinnamon iso

[nimble bone]

no way

i think its good

[ripe geode]

then pick partion for root

[nimble bone]

i see the grub menue

[ripe geode]

and pick for home

[nimble bone]

it booted yesss

[ripe geode]

wat did u do?

[nimble bone]

same as you said

Goodnight

[nimble bone]

@ripe geode i did exactly that and i still get a newer install

I'll go to sleep and try again tomorrow

plz someone help

[nimble bone]

what I'm doing wrong

[ripe geode]

this looks mostly right except for sda8. Not sure why you need that. If the system boots as UEFI, then typically an ESP (efi system partition) is needed of 100 MB , FAT32 style. If the system boots as legacy BIOS, then you don't need sda8 at all, the bootloader will install to sda device as shown lower part of the installer. The Windows boot partition should have a 'boot' flag, set in gparted.

[nimble bone]

i have 200mb of uefi sda1

i mean it was 100 but i increased it

[ripe geode]

that should be fine then.. i'd eliminate sda8

it's probably confusing something. as for the home thing, it should work like u set it up in pic

[inland hare]

Lmfao, I died when you translated مبارك to Congratulations

Ramadan congratulations
