I’ve decided to try out EndeavourOS , I’ve downloaded iso, I’ve put it on usb using Rufus, secure boot is disabled in bios.
Usb starts I see menu to choose which version I want to boot.
I have on board gpu i5-10600, so I’ve chosen version free, then it screen turn black and after 20 sec ot so screen goes to sleep…
I’ve tried to change boot parameters like changing modset to 0 on Radeon etc , Nvidia is blacklisted and then I can go past black screen but… after everything loads with green ok OK when x server should start I got error , please see photo.
I agree with @jonathon it’s most likely because it was created with Rufus. My self i would use etcher. But on linux I’m using popsicle or you can use dd. I’m not a fan of Ventoy but some use it.
I personally have used etcher and not had any issues. But, that was mostly on Arch Linux. I then switched to posicle recently. Are you are creating a live usb from windows? Or another version of linux?
Edit: The reason they stopped recommending it is because of privacy issues related to them gathering user data?
I did that , all disabled by default, see attached, just to say I installed fedora recently without any issues, for some reason can’t install arch based distribution, tried manjaro before and there was exactly same problem
In otherwords @jonathon is asking does the live ISO boot up fully to the desktop to be able to run the installer? Or it isn’t even booting up all the way.
Actually, I was asking whether the Arch installer image would boot to its terminal/CLI interface. This provides a baseline to test whether 1) the kernel works 2) the image has been written correctly 3) the USB drive is working 4) something will actually boot correctly.
