I was in the gnome desktop in the live mode from the USB drive, it happened twice, the first time I rebooted, the second time I was in the installer and selecting information like location, I was offline too with the installer.

Toshiba Satellite C655 model laptop.
I also have an solus Budgie 4.3 installed on a Dell inspiron N4010, that install worked fine without any crashing, I am going to try and use the solus budgie USB install for the toshiba next, since I am guessing its only effect the gnome edition. I reply back if it also crashes, the only other thing is both of these computers use Intel HD type 3D cards, and I am not dual booting, I am just having linux on them.

    Nothing in the C655's specs (Intel Celeron B815, 3GB DDR3 RAM, Intel HD3000 graphics, Intel HM65 chipset, 320GB 5400 HHD) raises obvious hardware issues. Let us know if you have problems with Budgie.

      no, problems with Budgie besides that snap needed to be fixed with console commands, otherwise its stable, I haven't tried plasma on it, and gnome was unstable when I tried it, I think gnome is stable on my Dell laptop so the bug causing the crash only seems to affect that Toshiba laptop. the dell has better or newer hardware than the toshiba, only thing about it I like is it has a bigger laptop monitor than the dell, but the dell has a better or newer cpu.

      I've never heard of this behavior in LIVE iso, I suspect a hardware issue.

      Regarding solus install on USB, I ran Solus off two sticks for a couple years. Never a software problem (maybe once but it was a wonky update years ago). Flawless.
      Also, from someone who ran off USB for two years: hardware will be the root of all problems even though I didn't know it at the time. I learned two lessons in those 2 years:
      1) USBs not designed for OS's.
      2) USBs with OS's become more finite--and buggy---in lifespan.
      That said, even though Solus does not support (condone) their OS run from a stick, it was a pleasant, pain free experience, sans eventual hardware problems like OOPS screens and other issues.

      I do fine, myself using USB for windows reinstalls if needed, I used to use the CD-ROMs or DVDs for that more in the past, but these days even stuff like clean installs of windows 10 or windows 11 with rufus for which I have to use it to turn off that RTM 2.0 thing that should not of been a requirement, since a lot of computers still don't have that feature, in any case, thanks for reply back to me. I even used Linux in the past on DVD, but most days it saves me a lot of time to install them by USB I kind of think of that as normal use of them, even though USB installs of Linux used to be buggier in the past, I guess. I don't recall think windows I started playing Linux with etc... I used windows since windows 98/95 and even used windows 3.1 so it's been years. 🙂 I think the first Linux I tried playing on was KNOPPIX, then red hat, then OpenSUSE, but sometimes my experience with them was not great. so, I used them but end up back with windows because of like gaming software, for example you can run some epic games store games under it and others not, same goes for steam or Ubisoft connect, not everything works under Linux, so reasons I have dual booted both OS systems over the years. sometimes wine software works and other times it didn't work for me. but it has gotten better at stuff then when it first came out. Ow, my first computer was an old laptop, that ran MS-DOS and had a green monitor with big floppy drives, that I got from my grandma back in the 2000s when she was still around, at one point I also had one based on a desktop design if I recall right, that was fun playing old dos games back then too, I of course went thought computers and upgrades over the years, I am a 1980s kid, so I play with stuff like that since then, I think the floppy computers are older than me, so I don't want you to think I am that old. I used to get library books about dos code and play with command prompts since then, like making the Dos prompt change colors, and blink stuff in dos books that used to show you how to do that stuff. I tried the SteamOSDVD.iso 2.0 verion and aware of their zip file copy to USB drive that doesn't always work great with fat32 format USB drives based on Debian, its ok but not great, Debian has problems loading Bluetooth drivers out of the box, which is why I liked ubuntu over it more complete out of the box usage, since stuff not working in Debian works on first usage of iso of ubuntu like having the missing Bluetooth drivers. if I recall some versions of OpenSUSE have the same problems, sometimes drivers are there and other times with older versions the drivers were not included.

        Maximalprime2 I could have written every word of this. We are likely the same age. I was an 80's kid for sho. The nerd in me adored DOS and parts of it are more agreeable then early WIN os's. The thing about those books and the stiff syntax---I learned so much better just doing it. But you have to start somewhere. Your last 6 lines are a walk down memory lane and remind me of an under-rated Bukowski Poem reflecting an era beofre the one you wrote about called 16-Bit Intel 8088 Chip.

        Anyways keep on keepin on. May the B-52s be with you.
