I'm trying to install Linux Mint 17.2 XFCE on my HP Pavilion ze4800, and it never works past the slideshow. The slideshow ends up closing early and I don't get an install. I will also commonly receive error messages when booting the laptop. Pic related: one of the error messages I got when trying to run the installer after disabling the slideshow using "sudo apt-get remove ubiquity-slideshow-mint" I'm out of ideas to fix this. What do I do, /g/?
install gentoo

If none of that works, try installing it with an external CD/DVD reader

I'll try it with a USB.

try usb with rufus
> built in DVD drive.
Now that's weird. That's supposed to be the best way to install an OS. Pray that it isn't a hardware incompatibility problem. Ideapads and some chromebooks models are infamous for this.

I'll find a USB and let you know if it works.

at least you will have something to work with
is this your first time installing mint/a unix-based OS?
also, google any errors that you have, nobody on /g/ is going to help with your problem specifically. the most people will do is point you in various directions and shout things at you

The thing is I had Ubuntu uninstalled by my brother a looooooong time ago. The last OS on it was Windows XP. This is my first time installing an OS.

plonk ubuntu back on it
see if you can live without all your windows shit first
no point going through the hassle of installing mint then just booting into windows everyday to play games etc.

The reason I'm installing mint is so I can use my computer without it being slow as shit.
