Solus 4.5 Installation

BruceElephant

I installed a new SSD and new RAM.

I tried reinstalling Solus Plasma.

4.5 installation does not boot to the GUI.
4.5 installations boots to a black screen and then (after some time) shows error messages (see next post).

4.4 installation starts and boots to the GUI.
4.4 installs but after I do a system update and I reboot it shows similar messages.

Does anyone else experience this?

What other information do you need to find a fix? If willing.

Thank you!

I'm terribly sorry about posting error messages like this but I don't know how to save the logs.

edit: Photos were taken here and there. I didn't know what to focus on so I decided to focus on the error messages. Even those are incomplete. I apologize. : (

I can retake them if needed and focus wherever you tell me to focus.

For the record:

At the moment there are two SSDs in the computer, there is (the new) SSD 1 where I'm trying to install Solus and (the old) SSD 2 with Solus 4.4 installed and updated.

There are two RAM sticks in the computer.

edit: I have sucessfully installed Nobara Linux and Artix but not Endeavour.

How did you create the USB?

BruceElephant

[deleted] It's a Ventoy stick. I created it a long time ago.

BruceElephant Update your Ventoy version on the stick and try again.

BruceElephant

Roger! I'll .. do this now.

It works! It works! I'm running 4.5 now! IT'S SO! BEAUTIFUL!! \o/

How are you people so smart!? I've been trying to install a distro for hours, I thought the SSD or the RAM may be flawed or incompatible with my system. I had so many bad things happening to me lately and I thought that this is just another one, my heart was pounding so loud.

Alright, fair enough, Artix did install and did run smoothly (and I managed to run a game as well) but it seemed so bloated. I was already suffering from Solus withdrawal. I had shivers.

Thank you @[deleted]! Thank you for helping me!! I would kiss your feet if I would be close to you right now, like a medieval peasant kisses his lord's feet! that's how happy I am right now. : )

brent You download Ventoy and perform the update from the application.

Hello @brent!

Instructions are here: https://www.ventoy.net/en/doc_linux_webui.html.

But maybe it's easier if I tell you:

You go here: https://www.ventoy.net/en/download.html.
You download the version for Linux.
You unarchive the file that you have just downloaded.
You open a terminal inside the folder that you have just unarchived.
Make sure you have the Ventoy drive inserted and mounted.
You run: sudo bash VentoyWeb.sh.
You open http://127.0.0.1:24680 inside an internet browser.
You select the relevant drive and click Update.

I hope it helped.
