Can't boot from USB (first time with Solus)

Nuxmin

Hello, this I my first time trying to install Solus (KDE) because it looks really good and wanted to give it a go.

I can't boot from USB because I get the next message:

x86/cpu: SGX disabled by BIOS.

I've tried enabling it in the BIOS, but it then gave me another error.

This looks really strange, I haven't find too much Googling it. I've tried more distros and this is the first time I encountered this issue ☹️

Could someone help?

Nuxmin but it then gave me another error

Can you share which error it gave?

Also have you properly followed this guide?

I did, in fact I tried using Solus Budgie, and it worked, so now I'm trying to install it after enabling SGX. (what is exactly this feature? Never used it before)

However, I still got this before the install part:

sgx launch control is locked

it seems to be intel related.Doing a duckduckgo search, i got this:

Nuxmin I did, in fact I tried using Solus Budgie, and it worked

if budgie worked,why not plasma? 🤔

That's a good question, I tried again just in case I did something wrong. Same message as Solus Budgie but it gets stuck in this case.

Here's the full message after enabling sgx:

x86/cpu: SGX Launch Control is locked. Support SGX virtualization only.

Nuxmin Is your device a Old Macbook by any chance?
If so mine will not boot the live solus 4.3 release.
The Live solus 4.2 release works great.

Nope. However I already gave up. I loved Budgie but I had some issues with it while gaming, and I also had another issue while booting in the new installation.

So I decided to go back to my old distro.

Perhaps I try it in another moment, I don't feel like it right now.

However, I appreciate your help, thx guys!

Seems me issues between hardware and software but maybe a bios update would do trick as it seems sgx is a work in progress from intel (seems me its bios issue but i could be wrong.) interesting reading https://www.tenforums.com/antivirus-firewalls-system-security/101389-sgx-setting-choose-bios.html would be nice if solus dev would chime in.
seems linux kernel has driver for it so i guess lots things could go burp!
