Hi LUVers, Recently purchased a Toshiba Satellite C50PSCJEA-01N011 Celeron-N2820 4G 500GB 15.6" Windows8.1 Notebook PSCJEA-01N011 Sad reality is because a certain piece of medical equipment requires 'doze (no it doesn't work with Wine etc) said machine had to be bought with said OS. Obviously don't want to do much in the MS-Windows world and have sought to navigate my way around the madness that is MS-Windows 8; have resized the disk, turned off secure boot (necessary for installation apparently), began installation with a nice Debian Mint 201403 disk, grub comes up and... I get a black screen. The DVD drive happily whirls around obviously wanting to entertain the possibility of another Linux install, but alas with no screen display not much else can be done. I have attempted a standard GRUB modification used on other Toshiba systems (https://coderwall.com/p/ydbldg) but to no avail. Any ideas? -- Lev Lafayette, BA (Hons), GradCertTerAdEd (Murdoch), GradCertPM, MBA (Tech Mngmnt) (Chifley) mobile: 0432 255 208 RFC 1855 Netiquette Guidelines http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1855.txt
