Hi Guys
This problem is of my own doing but hopefully someone has a solution, I have an Intel Compute Stick I’ve had lying around for years and decided only yesterday to have a play about with it and decided it would make a perfect media centre to replace my old Xbox running XBMC, It came preinstalled with an ancient version of Android and Windows 8 which I have no interest in, anyway I done some research and it seemed a fairly simple matter to install Linux, To begin with I tried Mint which booted up but wouldn’t load any icons or panel (just the mint background) so foolishly I decided to run the installer from the terminal thinking that the icons & panel etc would load once installed, the install started well however half way through it crashed so I tried again this time in compatibility mode this time it fully booted into the live system although with low resolution so I run the installer which stopped with a message I only had 4gb disc space and Mint needed 16gb, I thought that was strange because it’s my understanding that
the Compute Stick has 32gb so I ran gparted and it’s only showing the live usb there’s no hard drive, fdisk isn’t showing it either, my apologies for the long winded post but I thought it important to explain how the problem unfolded, any help or advice would be much appreciated
Many thanks
Graeme
