wattOS R10 / Installation on Laptop (Toshiba Satellite) fails
« on: October 18, 2016, 08:24:48 AM »
I have tried it now 4 times.
When it comes to the installation of Grub, the installer crashes and says "installation of Grub in target failed".
The Toshiba Satellite Laptop is Uefi and I have Sparky Linux and 2 Mint-Distros installed on it. They all use the same installer as wattOS and it worked fine.
I selected sda as place for the grub -- it failed.
I selected sda1 as place for the grub, which is the Efi-boot-partition -- it failed.
I selected sda5 as place for the grub, which is the partition where the root of whatOS R10 is installed -- it failed. ( In Ubuntu wiki about installation they say that it is possible to install the grub into the PBR of the partition where the distro is installed (where the mount point / is) and the main distro which has it's grub in the Uefi-boot-partition must be updated , then the multi-boot-menu will let you select the new installed distro ). This failed too.
Now I have no clue how to install whatOS on my laptop. Maybe you can help ?
