Thank you for checking.
I will try another distro. Strange problem.

On my desktop, I run calculate-linux. It's a gentoo derivative.
Using that, I have no trouble getting to my website:
No trouble getting there with an iMac, or chromebook either.
On my windows laptop, I could not get to that site, it kept timing out. For me, that was the last straw, I wiped windows and installed miyo linux.
Now miyo linux is doing the same thing.
I get the same thing with firefox, or midori, or the nextcloud client. I have nextcloud on nuclix.net/nextcloud.
The website is on shared hosting, and uses "let's encrypt" for the ssl. Is that the problem? If so, is there any way around it?

I start firefox in a terminal, and I constantly get this:
(firefox-esr:9734): dconf-CRITICAL **: unable to create file '/run/user/1000/dconf/user': Permission denied. dconf will not work properly.I installed midori, but I get the same thing.

I may have found an answer here:
https://www.linuxbabe.com/debian/instal … -9-stretch
These instructions are for debian, but they may work.
The nextcloud-client comes up, but the website seems to be blocked.

I am able to install most of the apps I need. I have some trouble with this one.
I have installed aptitude. But aptitude search is not finding anything.

Never mind.
When I connected with a cable, I was able to install wireless.
Seems strange, but it worked.

I have an HP G62 laptop. AMD 64-bit.
Just installed miyo. Works fine with a cable. But cannot get wireless to work at all.
When I do an ifconfig, it only finds eth0 and lo.
I suppose it cannot even find a wireless adaptor.
Is there anything I can do?
#33 Re: Installation » MIYO "install" button seems to do nothing » 2018-07-31 17:15:04
There may be two of those, one that says 'old way'. Use whichever works. Once you boot the installed system, as root, run grub-install /dev/sda and then update-grub
The first command should install the bootloader to the mbr of the first hard disk. The second will create a boot menu.
(Note: It's also possible to boot the live system, then chroot into the installed sysem to run the grub commands. If you're already familiar with chroot, you can go ahead and do it that way.)
chroot and grub-install worked.
# mkdir /chroot
# mount /chroot /dev/sda1
# grub-install --recheck --root-directory=/chroot /dev/sda Thank you.

> if you ever run Miyo live again, open up gparted and when it shows your partitions, look to see if the Recovery Partition is flagged as boot for some reason.
The recovery partition was not flagged as a boot partition.
Also, gparted shows sda1 as ext4 format.
I decided to use gparted to set sda1 as the boot partition, and then installing grub to that partition. It did not work.
BTW: the system seems to act as if I have chosen to not install grub. When I click on MBR as the place to install the bootloader, I get a message like: no bootloader will be installed, proceed?
#35 Re: Installation » MIYO "install" button seems to do nothing » 2018-07-31 04:06:54
I answered "yes" to reformat. No, I have never installed Linux on that computer before.
Getting to four primary partitions was easy, just all but the two I mentioned.
I have plenty of disk space.
It just won't write the bootloader to the MBR.
#36 Re: Installation » MIYO "install" button seems to do nothing » 2018-07-31 02:01:28
MiyoLinux, check on every point.
Maybe there is something with the laptop that protects the MBR from being over-written?
The laptop is an older HP G62 64-bit AMD dual core. 4GB RAM. 500GB HDD. Just one HDD.
I have four primary partitions. I left the restore partition (about 18GB) and the HP Tools partition 38MB)
I have sda1 partitioned as a 437GB ext4. I have sda2 partitioned as a 48GB linux swap.
Except for the part where the bootloader would not write to the MBR, the installation went normally.
Maybe I should remove the restore partition, and the HP Tools partition? I suppose I could back them up.
#37 Re: Installation » MIYO "install" button seems to do nothing » 2018-07-30 23:28:58
I ran through the installation again.
This time, I selected to put the bootloader on a partition.
Again, I just get a blinking underscore.
I guess it is not going to work for me.
The live CD works. But it will not boot after install.
#38 Re: Installation » MIYO "install" button seems to do nothing » 2018-07-30 23:08:56
Thanks.
I got through the install, but it will not boot.
I just get a blinking underscore.
It asked me were to install the bootloader, and I answered MBR.
I got a message back: no bootloader installed.
Since I am only running one OS, I figured it would be okay.
Unfortunately, it does not seem to work.

I am running from the live CD.
There is a button to install - at least that is what is printed on the button.
I hit the button. I am given some choice between "su" or "sudo" and asked for a password.
I make up a password and nothing happens.
This seems like a secret handshake sort of thing.
Does anybody know the trick to getting this to actually work?
