Live iso starts to boot then shows splash screen and laptop shuts down. Intel/Nvidia laptop. Using the KDE Nvidia iso. Tried in basic graphics with smae results.

I will investigate it. I suspect its has to do with having an iGPU and the Nvidia GPU. I have no way in actually testing this setup so I will do my best. First I will just test that iso in a vm to make it just hasn't become corrupted durning my upload to sourceforge then will go from there

Could you try to boot it again but this time when the boot spinner shows hit esc to look at the boot logging and see if you see any errors?

Post #741

Also could you tell me the Nvidia GPU because currently the drivers are using the "Open" Nvidia kernel modules so anything older then 2000 RTX/1600 GTX prob will not boot on those. I may need to make an entierly new image and ISO for the complelely closed drivers for older Nvidia GPUs

Nvidia RTX 2060. I saw some erorrs but it was quick before shutdown. Something about a bad magic number and ELF then hard shutdown. I know the latest open drivers work fine this laptop. 595 I think.

Ok after testing because I was able to test on a family members PC with a 1660 TI and it booted and loaded the drivers fine. but in my testing I found the New Live ISOs do not currently work using Ventroy and it appeared to do same thing you discribed for me , looked like it rebooted using Ventroy but I waited and seen mount errors, so for now I removed Ventroy as a option on the download page on how to write the iso, and Two it may be an Hybrid Graphics issue in a setup like your laptop. I will be investigating how to fix that possible issue and putting out some iso refreshes after determining how to correct that if it is even an issue. but if you were using Ventroy thats most likely the Issue. If so try writting the ISO directly to USB and try again and if it does the samething report back to me.. also if it appears to reboot but doesn't actually restart your PC just wait til spinner comes up then like I said hit ESC key to see the boot log live and report any errors you seen

Also try with rakuos-kde-nvidia-latest-amd64.iso just updated it like couple hours ago because was having issues uploading to sourceforge yesterday when I initally released the isos so reuploaded them to make sure they didn't corrupt before

Post #746

I hope it works because like I said ran into that testing on the family members pc but once written directly to usb it booted and loaded the drivers

Ok figured that out. its secureboot, I do not have any secureboot keys setup as of yet so for now if you want to boot the iso you will need to disable secureboot. I should prob put that disclaimer on the download page for now until I get that sorted

Like said I just ran into that when enabling secureboot, I do not have a secureboot key so secureboot will need to be disabled for now til I sort that out

I put it on a flash drive and tried to boot it with security boot disabled and it didn't boot, it just restarted the PC

You wrote it directly to usb no ventroy or the such? if you can grab some kind live log for me that would help me a ton. When the grub menu shows edit the menu entry with ctrl+e and remove any quite or splash flags in the boot line so it shows the log and you should be able to catch an error before it reboots hopefully. because I can not reproduce any of these errors on any of the hardware I own nor in VMs

I tried again and I couldn't see anything on the dark screen, just a dash on the top left side flashing and after couple secend restarting, I tried ctrl+e but nothing happens

I would like to give you a piece of advice and you try something replace the CachyOS kernel, put fedora's latest kernel and see how that iso behaves

run /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 --help | grep "(supported, searched)" on your host that would be the anwser then I think. if its has v3 support its not the kernel if it v2 yea might have to add an iso with the v2 kernel or default kernel... because at this point the current kernel should be able to run on haswell or higher intel wise or zen and higher AMD wise

and actually going to update the system requirements currently on download page because honestly it slipped my mind
