so i wanted to reinstall my system (to use xfce instead of kde since my low spec laptop is struggling) and downloaded the latest(?) link from the mirror (singapore). booted up ventoy and selected the iso. now this shows up ![IMG20240813232321](https://forum.endeavouros.com/uploads/default/original/3X/b/3/b3387692675c9c649d48354353a01229607a7fd1.jpeg) i have no idea what to do, could someone guide me how to fix this? ---

It looks like you need to update your Ventoy stick. In the meantime you can probably get through the installation by using grub2 mode. ![image](https://forum.endeavouros.com/uploads/default/original/3X/0/8/080f390578f2cfd9d98a27eaf07db24f9fe7f313.jpeg) ---

> [@Yuujin](#): > > any idea how to update ventoy? Just run the installation script against your Ventoy stick. It will recognize you already have Ventoy on there and offer to update it for you. [https://www.ventoy.net/en/doc\_start.html](https://www.ventoy.net/en/doc_start.html) Make backups of course, but it does keep all your ISOs on there when you upgrade and only takes a few minutes. > [@Yuujin](#): > > EDIT: selected grub2 and currently in the live iso environment Glad to hear it, you can mark the solution if you wish. ---

That is a separate, unrelated issue which will have a separate, unrelated solution. 😉 Post the installation log so we can see what is happening. ---

In general that is a good practice (separate topics for separate issues), but in this case I don’t think it is a big deal either way. Let’s take a look at the installation log. ---

2 cents: have installed endeavour 4 times. could not install from ventoy all 4 times. could only install from an etcher-burned USB stick. one man’s saga, anyway ---

my install of endeavourOS (before kinda borking it with my intention of a reinstall) was made successful by ventoy… i could be running out of luck but who knows ---

The log has a lot more information than that. The picture only shows the error it failed on. Click “yes” (on the button in your picture) to send the log to a pastebin, then add the link to the discussion here. > [@drunkenvicar](#): > > have installed endeavour 4 times. could not install from ventoy all 4 times. I have had success with it what feels like 100 times…but like you say, I have heard it just doesn’t work sometimes. I have had it fail with an out-of-date version of Ventoy, but my suspicion is there is more to it than that. I’m honestly not sure why it doesn’t work for some folks. ---

i’ll take note of that, internet is slow(updating ventoy on another slow pc) so it’ll be a while after i can get to paste the logs here… ---

I have had it fail with an out-of-date version of Ventoy, but my suspicion is there is more to it than that. absolutely could even be the health of the particular warhorse USB which get worn down quite easily and not built for the heavy lifting of this business. that’s probably the case more often than not.
