Your system is unlikely to be supported ootb with the Stable version, you could try the testing image (available from the downloads page) and see if you have better luck.

Now that I think about it the weekend before last I tried to install it and the same thing happen the difference is the MB CPU and memory was intel I switched it out last Friday, the only thing the same is my GPU and my hard drives.

Testing Version does not work either.

What GPU do you have?

You could also Ubuntu Quark testing give a try

https://sourceforge.net/projects/ubuntu … s/testing/
and post a result here.

I will give it a shot and report back.

No does not work and by the characters, I see on the screen I'm guessing something to do with the GPU.

On the first one, I got to the boot screen and was able to pick a choice, on the 2 testing versions I just get garbage on the screen.

Also if you need any further help with this let me know I'm retired and have all kinds of time.

Could it be that you need the Nvidia proprietary driver? I don't recall if it is actually installed in the live session, I would guess not as it would likely cause issues with other gpu set-ups by doing that.

You could try booting into recovery (or failsafe) mode and see if that works.

Ok, I did that and it got to about 3/4 finished and I got an error "can not find a medium with a live file system" so to make sure I downloaded it again used a different USB stick and a different image writer. At this point, I don't think this distro is in my future.

I think you might have issues with most (but not all) Linux (especially Debian based) OS's due to how new your hardware is, but you could try Mint or Ubuntu (some variants are better than others) they might get you further.

Thanks for your help, I'm just a distro hopper I have 7 HD and 3 Distros on this machine I keep Manjaro as my dailiy runner.

In that case as you already have the other os's running maybe you could run inxi -F from one of them and we could see which firmware/drivers are needed and I'm sure the devs would help to find out if it is possible to get your hardware running OOTB. Obviously other hardware spec packages are available and would likely give the required info, so the output from any of them should be sufficient.

The same video driver is in Buster-backports repository (add using "sudo qrepoadd --gui" and select buster backports) which is most likely the culprit, but I would guess you need to get the system installed before you could try it, maybe a cli install and then add the video driver?

Yes, that should work, you need to use the "install-cd" Q4OS media https://www.q4os.org/downloads1.html

I got it installed on a VM so now I will try your suggestion for the SSD.

I have tried everything you guys have suggested and nothing, so I officially give up.

NibblesMctwitch · 2020-05-25 23:24

Turns out the problem (Still unknown) happens on all Debian related distros not just yours.
