[SOLVED] Re: [qubes-users] Problem installing 4.0.1 on an HP laptop model 15t-da000
The problem has been solved. It turned out that Qubes is tolerant of KDE Neon, but KDE Neon is not tolerant of Qubes. My solution was to delete both installations, install Qubes first, and KDE Neon second. Now both boot fine. So, I did it again in the reverse order, and I replicated my first problem So... the answer was to install KDE neon on top of Qubes rather than Qubes on top of KDE neon. I have no idea why this makes a difference. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

This time, when I choose "Qubes" from the grub menu, I get *another* grub menu that only has Qubes as an option. When I choose that, I get the error: error: no such device: 6f291114-1d52-4d2d-8a6e-6970ceo2ca33 erro: disk 'lvmid/M16FyN-' not found error: you need to load the kernel first. I noticed a couple of other things as well. I'm beginning to believe that KDE neon uses grub, not grub2, since there is no grub2 directory in its /boot directory. I don't know if that would make a difference -- and I could be wrong. It's based on Ubuntu 18.04, and I'm not sure what that is. The forums I looked at all referred to grub instead of grub2, but that may just be short hand. Do you think it would make a difference if I installed Qubes first and *then* KDE neon? I may do that, just to see if Qubes will install by itself... billo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Thanks! billo Boot Qubes from rescue mode on the USB. Rebuild Qubes' grub and initramfs. It will be something like "sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /mnt/sysimage/boot/grub2/grub.cfg". Then reboot and try the Qubes option again from the grub menu. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
