Search Results for 'boot from iso'

An import thing to note is this computer and card would not load Xorg on the live iso, I had to
install using cli-installer, then do the above steps to get it up and running. I’ll have to look
into kernel boot options and see if I can get it to load the live properly.

Uma coisa importante a notar é que este computador e cartão não carregariam Xorg na iso ao vivo, eu tive que
instalar usando o cli-installer, então faça as etapas acima para colocá-lo em funcionamento. Eu terei que procurar
nas opções de inicialização do kernel e ver se consigo fazer com que ele carregue o live corretamente.

Looking at the output on that Nvidia AGP card it is loading the nvidiafb and fbdev modules preventing
the nouveau Xorg driver from loading.

I setup a Intel Pentium 4 Pc tower with a Nvidia-FX-5200 AGP card and have it loading the nouveau Xorg
driver after installing the 4.4-remaster iso by doing this:

1. sudo apt update and upgrade

2. Create the file

/etc/modprobe.d/nouveau.conf

with the lines

blacklist fbdev
blacklist nvidiafb

3. run these as root user in a terminal. They take a few minutes to complete.

depmod -a

update-initramfs -u

4. Created and renamed the text file that’s attached as.

/etc/X11/xorg.conf

5. rebooted the computer.

now it loads the nouveau at full 1680×1050 resolution on my Dell monitor. I hope it helps you get
that one loading the full resolution.

Olhando para a saída daquela placa da Nvidia AGP, ela está carregando os módulos nvidiafb e fbdev, evitando
o motorista do nouveau Xorg do carregamento.

Configurei uma torre Intel Pentium 4 Pc com uma placa Nvidia-FX-5200 AGP e fiz com que ela carregasse o nouveau Xorg
motorista após a instalação da iso 4.4-remaster, fazendo isso:

1. sudo apt update e upgrade

2. Criar o arquivo

/etc/modprobe.d/nouveau.conf

com as linhas

lista negra fbdev
lista negra nvidiafb

3. Execute-os como usuário root em um terminal. Eles levam alguns minutos para serem completados.

depmod -a

update-initramfs -u

4. Criou e renomeou o arquivo de texto que está anexado como.

/etc/X11/xorg.conf

5. Reinicializou o computador.

agora ele carrega o nouveau com resolução total de 1680×1050 em meu monitor Dell. Espero que ele ajude você a obter
que se carrega a resolução completa.

I ran into a similar problem while setting up a computer that I haven’t used in a long time. To spare you my boring story, suffice it to say that when I changed the kernel from the 5.10 series to 4.9, that cleared it up. Now it boots quickly, as expected.

So check out that line of inquiry. If that is your case, I recommend you keep both the latest from the 4.9 series & the 5.10 series (like antiX full ISO has). This way, if one will not work on whichever computer you use, then hopefully the other will. Maybe even add 4.19, just to have more choices.

HTH 🙂

confirmed antiX frugaler, since 2019

Well it’s strange to me anyway. I’ve put Antix 21 (64 bit) on a Ventoy USB stick, on it’s own USB stick and I’ve installed it on a little netbook. In all cases I’ve had no significant problems, they’ve all booted straight away and they’ve all connected to my wifi immediately (even on a machine with Broadcom B43). So I had the idea of installing to a portable hard drive, so that I had a complete portable system, with all my music and a few other bits. My music collection takes 60Gb of space on it’s own.

So that’s what I did, and it won’t boot. It gets as far as “loading initial ramdisk” then goes to black screen with flashing cursor in top left corner. Doesn’t matter how long I leave it, never goes beyond that. All of my efforts have been done from the same ISO file, so as 3 attempts have been fine I don’t see that there can be anything wrong with that.

The fact it’s only failed on portable HDD may suggest the drive is faulty, but I’ve tried it on two different drives with same results. Also one of the drives has previously had another distro installed on it, and that booted ok.

Any thoughts, ideas or suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Stephen, when you ask for help any kind of problem please give us enough information to think about how we can help.

First thing to try is make a snapshot of your modified system, i.e. the one on the older device, keep changes as a personal
backup, again using antiX tool.
Create a live USB from the ISO snapshot image, try and boot it, in many cases you will be able to login to your previously
setup envirenment and then do an install from live keeping your changes.

Using the antiX tools to transfer a system has worked for me across a wide range of devices. I sometimes had to recreate
personal menu items which is pretty easy and quick to do.

Only if above fails badly please ask for more help, we will then have to use more complicated methods.

Buongiorno, come da titolo vorrei cambiare il colore del testo che c’è in Grub.
Tramite interfaccia grafica ho già cambiato l’immagine del Grub attraverso

Applicazioni preferite/centro di controllo/sessione/immagine del boot Grub

ma non riesco a fare di più.
Da riga di comando come potrei fare?

First, the bootable USB flash drive must be recorded correctly. If you are writing an ISO image of Windows or a low-level program like Acronis, which is designed to work with a hard disk, you should use a special program like ultra-iso or others. I think it’s clear that you need not just copy the files to a USB flash drive, but write exactly the image! If you don’t know how to do it, then it’s better not to try to fix something yourself, because this way you can aggravate the situation. It is much better to contact yak specialists. I turned to the guys from the company . They fixed my USB flash drive for me. You don’t have to contact them because there are many specialists in this field. The main thing is to make sure that they are reliable.

Hello everyone

Semi-noob here, please be gentle.

I’ve been dying for months to use antix, but now that I have the opportunity I’m in a rush and everything is going wrong 🙁

* Downloaded via Safari
* Downloaded via Firefox
* Downloaded via Torrent (both x64 full and x64 base)

* in each case I used Rufus to create bootable USB. USB has been triple-checked – it is old but there are no errors on it. (It is tiny though – 2.1GB capacity – antix full comes to 1.3GB)

Written to usb as hybrid ISO:
* Tried direct install on dual-boot W10 and Bodhi Linux, intending to fully wipe and do a clean install. It allows me to set keyboard/timezone etc but continues to grub
* ISO usb visible in UEFI as the only boot option but boots into grub
* Wrote ISO to DVD on an external DVD reader – The DVD is visible in UEFI but boots into grub
* Deleted all particitions (remains bootable into UEFI). The ISO usb is visible in UEFI but boots into grub
* So, heeding the Rufus warning about using a hybrid ISO I re-burned the ISO as DD. (UEFI picks up the ISO usb but boots into grub)

I’m out of time so I installed an old Linix Lite copy from DVD, but… but… I WANT activeX (shoutout to runwiththedolphin) as I have 3 very old laptops waiting for a distro that’s lighter than LL.

Any advice?
Thanks!

ok, trying to pinpoint the boot error.

Which version/iso of antiX was used … core, base, full? will help others chime in.
A inxi -zv7 output if possible.

That’s also going to be a pretty limited machine with only 1GB max ram and the celeron cpu also.

Hello,

Well i remember vaguely about having to edit text in desktop objects that didn’t come with an icon at times. Long long ago, **elsewhere**!

The reason i tag Linux as “Fix once Break many” is because such work got rendered useless with a next update…

But the creator(s) or ‘GrUB2’ gave us all the tools we need and YOUR antiX 21 release gave it some fair justice, as far as i’m concerned the potential has been demonstrated beautifully.

Thanks for the tip about the ‘ft10-transformation’ package for my native language, you’re quite right to mention Linux Mint actually, but its life was short although its responsiveness felt seriously improved in comparison to Windows 10 – which is the end of the road on my CherryTrail tablet anyway…

Linuxium looked promissing until an automatic update killed it, too bad GrUB installs prove so fragile!

Other OSes gave me trouble even locking me out of my own stuff, etc. This tablet ain’t going back to Windows in any case, i’m quite willing to flush Microsoft before it flushes my Intel i3 machine this next summer.

Relatively to PulseAudio, all Linux i tried always make me install ‘PApRefs’ because its a main function of the computer in here: display TV and manage wireless (BT) headphones that may come in pairs, especially with “open ear” types like the bone-conduction units. Any Linux i choose has to meet these requirements as a minimum, so i salute your sense of fairness while the margin gained remains an asset.

IMO antiX 21 compared nicely to Fossa Puppy Linux v9.5 and i like having tools around as Synaptic, etc., not to mention although Slackware 15.0 is freshly released some antiX respin of it would be of no help, ’cause Slackware officially announced a defavorable position toward hybrid 32-64 boot-loaders exactly.

Debian 11.2.0 does indeed come with a ready-made binary called ‘bootia32.efi’ and distros as Linuxium started to include it in their 64-bits .ISOs for the purpose of compatibility exactly, and it turned out i DIDN’T need to worry about such patch-work just to enjoy a GrUB boot menu from antiX 21, so i gave it some time.

But…

My appologies, the news are bad this morning. The thing is both display monitors went blank and hence i started downloading alternatives again, so i’m back to the slow process of creating a new USB thumbdrive only to erase it. SparkyLinux seemed slightly more agile than Linuxium, while FossaPuppy simply won’t complete booting, perhaps in reason of some driver for eMMC storage – FAT32 partition & frugal mode still failed.

Not to mention the 128 GB uSD flash drive doesn’t exist at boot time, unfortunately.

I did have an Atom N270 around too but it died last year, on another hand my HP-48 calculator stays on my desk since late ’93 when i bought it…

One been replaced almost naturally, the other will leave an immense void when its turn comes. Which by the way reminds me i’ll want to run an HP-48 emulator someday, sooner than later hopefully! …

Thanks for the additional suggestion. Slitaz being Slackware-based, as i recall, it won’t be possible to patch it with ‘bootia32.efi’ unless i compile it myself – and that’s a No-No! Maybe later, much much later when there’s nothing else to do.

There’s a grandma machine that could benefit from what i’ll find eventually. In the meantime here’s what i can contribute with as a newbie on planet antiX:

Monitor resolution can get wrong and direct right-click desktop access would help a bunch, instead of going through multiple menu items until the obscure ‘ARandR’ utility pops up, ’cause i garantee grandma wouldn’t have known, so my guess is a short descriptive word besides “ARandR” might be a good start. Or mention it on the GrUB splash screen? …

Please take no offence if my intervention seems like a hit ‘n run, i don’t know myself what’s next except many more thumbdrive swaps at the moment. Fingers crossed!

Who knows, next time i may relay a 2nd expression of gratitude, in the name of a grandma dropped like rotten cabage by Microsoft Windows XP…

Good day, have fun!!

You said up-to-date Lenovo IdeaCentre. Does that mean a desktop? My IdeaPads do not even have an optical drive. You must have a few USB ports right? Do you have broadband internet connection? Can you download the antiX iso from the internet? That will be better than the DVD.

But, if all you have is the DVD then you may be able to get it to boot by going into BIOS settings and set the optical drive as the first boot device.

But it sounds to me like you need help from a technician if you do not know what screen you are on. F12 is usually a BIOS key. If it is a key to “Save” to the DVD drive it will not work – unless your system is set to write to a DVD-RAM. This is an advantage of using a USB key drive.

Do you have a techy friend?

Mine only does the vesa driver and won’t load the sis driver on any iso.

Olá linuxdaddy.
Você tentou inicializar o antiX nesta placa-mãe com os outros dois modos: “Modo de Vídeo Seguro” e com o “Modo a Prova de Falhas”?

Com a placa de vídeo GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x, nenhum dos modos “Modo de Vídeo Seguro” e o “Modo a Prova de Falhas” conseguiu inicializar, em ambos os modos a tela apagava.

Já na placa de vídeo P4M800 Pro, conseguiu inicializar somente com o “Modo de Vídeo Seguro”.

Hello linuxdaddy.
Have you tried to boot antiX on this motherboard with the other two modes: “Safe Video Mode” and “Failsafe Mode”?

With GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x video card, none of “Safe Video Mode” and “Failsafe Mode” could boot, in both modes the screen was blank.

Already on the P4M800 Pro video card, it was able to boot only with “Safe Video Mode”.

I have downloaded the ISO once again from another site. Installed on SSD NVME on separate partition. Booted through refind.conf in separate gpt partition (efi-ufei).

I made bootable pen drives out of Barracuda12-ALL-CC49.iso and SeaToolsDOS112.ISO but was not able to get this pc to boot from either despite setting up the boot priorities in the bios as they were for the initial install. I did not have chance to try them on another pc, nor to try a known good iso pen drive on this pc.

Unfortunately I have to leave this problem due to sudden illness in the family, so thanks for all contributions. I’ll return to it when circumstances allow.
