I have created an USB key with Mint, but when I boot from it I get a few lines of errors

Failed to open \EFI\BOOT\mmx64.efi - Not Found
Failed to load image ??: Not Found
Failed to start MokManager: Not Found
Something has gone seriously wrong: import_mok_state () failed: Not Found

I have tried disabling safe boot, and fast boot. I have confirmed that my system has UEFI.

I believe that I once managed to run Mint off the USB but have not managed to do so since

This just happened to me, once you make the bootable USB, open it up, go into EFI/boot, and copy grubx64.efi, then rename it to mmx64.efi

Everything should work from there.

What happens if you plug the stick into another box and check it for errors

[-] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I ran the error checking on windows on it and it found no issues.

Have you tried booting directly from the BIOS and seeing it recognizes the partition? There might be a toggle for UEFI.

[-] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah the bios did see the drives.. I ended up installing Ubuntu instead. That seems to go well. Currently installing

I recall having the image not found error last time. A mix of creating the USB with another program and tinkering with bios solved the issue. Sorry can't be more specific, but Linux is all about tinkering, so have fun :)

Disable UEFI, enable legacy boot. Reinstall and it should work

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
