It's a workaround: sometimes you need it

rare dawn
#

Internet worked with 19.3

type rfkill list

rare dawn
pastel ridge
#

that is bizarre

#

you have bluetooth but no wifi

rare dawn
#

How do I fix?

pastel ridge
#

I can fix your bluetooth, but not wifi

rare dawn
#

Why

pastel ridge
#

wifi should be appearing in the list with two "no"
rfkill is turning off your bluetooth, but as far as wifi goes, it is not detected at all

#

type rfkill toggle bluetooth

#

this should turn on your bluetooth

rare dawn
#

Ok

#

What do I do about WiFi

pastel ridge
#

I do not know if rfkill toggle bluetooth can be put in a bashrc, but I would recomend having a systemd script do that every boot

#

Do you have other kernels?

rare dawn
#

Wdym kernels

pastel ridge
#

Get into the grub boot loader, and show me what you see

#

you can press the arrow keys to ensure it doesn't auto boot

rare dawn
#

Ok

pastel ridge
#

Do you not see something that says "boot linux mint" or something after this?

rare dawn
#

Should I plug in my usb?

pastel ridge
#

just get to where you would be that normally boots mint

rare dawn
#

Oh here

pastel ridge
#

there should be an advanced options or something

rare dawn
pastel ridge
#

Oh this is a setup?

#

I thought you had mint installed

rare dawn
#

I did

#

This is when I plugged in my usb drive

pastel ridge
#

is your USB drive required for mint?

rare dawn
#

No

pastel ridge
#

I was expecting a similar screen that does not use the live ISO

rare dawn
#

What should I do?

pastel ridge
#

What are the steps you do to boot into mint?

rare dawn
#

To like go to boot mode? Or to get to the mint menu

pastel ridge
#

I am looking for this that mint should have

#

Should be like
boot mint (numbers show the kernel version)
boot mint (adanced options)
possibly another option
something that takes you to the BIOS screen

rare dawn
#

Wait is it in boot mode

pastel ridge
#

Here is a screenshot of an alternative layout

#

I don't know what an ODD is and you don't use lan

rare dawn
#

What about this?

pastel ridge
#

That should not show up

#

Ok seems you might have a broken mint install with your bootloader

#

have you messed with anything in /boot?

#

You do have a great tool to help you get back into mint being the live ISO, but I do not know if mint has arch-chroot

rare dawn
#

I can reset

pastel ridge
#

Yeah, get back into a live environment if you can

rare dawn
#

Should I install another version of mint?

pastel ridge
#

No, not yet

#

unless you have no personal files

rare dawn
#

I have no personal files

pastel ridge
#

ah, then if this is a new install of mint, did you put the mint installer in ventoy, or did you correctly burn mint to it's own USB?

#

not all USB can use ventoy, so it is often best to not use it

#

I found that my spare computer only accepts gentoo's iso on ventoy, but my main accepts debian along side gentoo with windows as well

rare dawn
#

I used the make a bootable drive on Linux mint 19

pastel ridge
#

Try this
reinstall mint, then see if after you fully power down your machine if you can boot

#

if you cannot boot, it is likely a dead CMOS battery on top of the wifi issue

rare dawn
#

Ok

#

@pastel ridge I can’t remove anything off the usb

pastel ridge
#

you should be installing from the USB to your HDD

#

the live ISO would have the version with network support on it as your upgrade broke mint
