Thanks for viewing!
It seems I am running into a strange issue while trying to install fedora as a dual boot. To keep it in the simplest terms, I boot off of USB then I choose fedora live then eventually a bunch of terminal is being shown and bam it just seems to hang. It never gets to a GUI.
I tried to run this ISO on a VM and it works just fine. It seemed to even load faster than off the vm.
Any ideas? I'm kind of lost because I don't see any errors other than it just stops.
Is it possible that your usb thumb-drive is bad? You should be able to run a self test on the thumb-drive when you boot from it.
I cant imagine that. I just did a fresh install of windows 10 before this and that worked fine. Unless it borked right after the windows 10 install.
If you haven't done it yet I would run a set check on the fedora live.
What kind of messages are printed on the screen? Are there something that explicitly fails? What are the last things it is trying to do?
I am not aware of what a "set check" is, but I will do some googling on it. I believe the last thing the prompt says is something along the lines of,
"user manager UID 1000"
Damn, I should of taken a picture of it.
Sorry, that was a typo. I meant "self check". When booting from the usb there should be an option to to do a verifying of the boot media https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Installation_Guide/sn-boot-mediacheck.html . (I'm not 100% sure that this option is available on live-usb ),
I figured out the issue. It seems like whenever I go through the install process with two monitors plugged in the installation fails for whatever reason. What lead me to believe it was something with the gpu is because the screen was turning off and then on for both monitors. Any ideas how to fix this?
What GPU, what display connection types? I've seen issues with DisplayPort connected monitors on certain distros. Also nvidia has issues most of the time.
It was display port.
Man, I ran into to so many issues. After I figured out the problem was having two monitors plugged in, I booted into the desktop and my mouse was working but invisible and extremely slow. I finally gave up after a few house. I eventually found the fix was to put up in minimum graphics mode or something. Then I installed fedora onto my desktop and accidently installed it over my Windows 10(my mistake). Frustrating night...
