Unable to install Zorin onto my Desktop PC

GNU nano 2.9.3 /etc/default/grub

If you change this file, run ‘update-grub’ afterwards to update

/boot/grub/grub.cfg.

This works with Linux (no patch required) and with any kernel that obtains

the memory map information from GRUB (GNU Mach, kernel of FreeBSD …)

note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE

you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo’

I was about to suggest adding the following to grub

GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1080x32,640x480x32,auto

When I saw this pop up:

You may need to

sudo apt-get install --reinstall xorg

Then enter ttyl with ctrl+alt+F2 and remove the xauthority file from home

rm ~.XAuthority*

rm ~.XAuthority in ttyl gives this,

rm:cannot remove ‘~.XAuthority*’: No such file or directory

Rest of the above commands were successful

Reboot, then check home folder with ctrl+h and see if .XAuthority is present
(Maybe the * was not needed in the above command…)

Rebooting yields this:—>

This means that data was corrupted which could not be mounted at boot- which usually… again… is caused by hardware failure. It does that to prevent further data loss.
All the symptoms above suggest hardware issues, too.
And really, given your machine specs, you should have had No Trouble installing Zorin in the first place.

I am sorry to say this- But I would strongly suggest you check all the hardware involved. It may just be a loose or bad sata drive cable. But I definitely am leaning toward Hardware Troubles of this.

I endorse your views regarding this.
But,Friend,when I am trying to install openSUSE-15.2 Leap (64-bit) version,then how come the installer is running and functioning successfully??? Without any issues whatsoever???

I understand your point. I do not have that answer; I lack enough information.

It may be that OpenSUSE is more forgiving about investigating Hardware whereas Zorin is more strict and investigative.
Or it may be that Zorin is glitching.
But for you, as the controller and user, it still may be best to check all hardware in any case, just to be sure.

Then why Windows 10 and MX-Linux are running successfully? If there is an hardware issue,these OS as a whole should have glitch somewhere along the functioning!
Isn’t that so?

You stated earlier that they are not on the same hard drive.

That means issue with HDD,I mean the Seagate 500GB HDD?

It means that it is possible and the drive should be checked.

I ran Seatools applications under Windows 10 for all of my Seagate drives. Surprisingly, S.M.A.R.T. check and short drive self test were all success as result.
What to do now?

Next, suggest you update your firmware.

This drive is not SSD but is HDD, correct?

This is HDD. Firmware upto date.

I know this is frustrating.
You Did ensure that Secure boot is disabled?

Yeah…

This is a long shot... But you might try

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.alpha_support=1"

sudo update=grub
