Question Can't do non-destructive install - Part #1 starts at 2MB instead of 1MB?
Posted by: 0x6A7232 - 02-05-2024, 07:35 PM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - No Replies

So I have 2MB free space at the start of the drive (/dev/sda) and Ventoy refuses to attempt non-destructive install due to there not being 1MB space before the partition start (but there is 2MB space, so that should be more than adequate).

In GParted, I can't move the partition 1MB over -- if I do, it moves it all the way over, even though I specify to leave 1MB at the beginning. It does this no matter what I specifiy for alignment (None, MiB, cylinder).

###[FAIL] Partition 1 is not start at 1MB

If it is safe to attempt install with 2MB preceding, can the code be altered to check for a gap of at least 1MB, instead of a precisely 1MB gap?

EDIT: If you are worried about someone later putting a partition in the blank space and over-writing the 1MB, perhaps specify a maximum gap of 5 or 10 MB? I don't think anyone would bother to create a partition that small.

Sad Problem (maybe wrong understanding) with "Auto Script Select Timeout"
Posted by: tiff - 01-31-2024, 12:15 PM - Forum: iVentoy Discussion Forum - No Replies

and maybe also "Default Auto Script ID"

to my understanding if i do not select a "Default Auto Script ID" but have one or more autounattend.xml's added shouldnd there be a possibility to select one and at second, even if i give a long 60 (i hope this are seconds) to the "Auto Script Select Timeout" it does not wait for an user input. 

Background is that i have some very complex autounattend.xml's which do different things. One leaves a very clean bloatwarefree win11 installation and the other lets install some of the microsoft tools somebody needs.

I could work around this problem with softlinks on to the images and specific configurations in iVentoy but i think a behavior like in Ventoy where i can select the autounattend.xml for my needs is by far better.

But hey, maybe only i have this problem.  Big Grin

Independend of that, great work even if Dell PCs and there BIOS/Efi starting to driving me crazy

I forgot, version is 1.0.19 on Ubuntu

  提几个使用上的建议
Posted by: katar1024 - 01-31-2024, 11:54 AM - Forum: iVentoy Discussion Forum - No Replies

本人用了一段时间的iVentoy,感觉效果良好,现在得几个个人遇到的问题,希望能得到改善,谢谢,
第一,Iso列表希望能够上下移动调整,自定义排个序,
第二,Iso的默认开关好像没有起作用,每次启动都是选择最顶端的iso,
第三,使用-R参数启动的时候,希望不强制弹出管理页面,那个本地管理页面在ie8环境下基本没用
望大神们采纳,非常感谢,

  How to edit ventoy_grub.cfg
Posted by: balanga - 01-29-2024, 11:52 AM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - Replies (5)

Is there any way to amend ventoy_grub.cfg from within the grub menu, or do I need boot some OS first?

Such a feature would be useful.

能否把ventoy相关文件夹集成到EFI文件里,只保留一个bootx64.efi,类似grubfm那样。现在4个文件夹太杂乱,包含了太多uefi环境不需要的文件。

  Where is installed ventoy on the USB flash drive?
Posted by: manueljordan - 01-27-2024, 02:22 PM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - Replies (3)

Since months ago through Windows 10 I have installed ventoy on a USB flash drive to storage and boot some .iso files for installation purposes about Linux in other laptops. It works fine as expected. Even more, ventoy was upgraded few times in peace too.

My doubt and reason of this post, where is installed ventoy on the USB flash drive?

In Windows 10 if through git bash I go to the USB flash drive and is executed the ls -als command does not appear something hidden to observe about ventoy itself, for example I expected to see .ventoy or something similar. Same behavior with the Windows Explorer settings to about to show/view everything hidden (even the operating system files).

  Is possible update ventoy through Linux when it was installed from the beginning thro
Posted by: manueljordan - 01-27-2024, 02:18 PM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - Replies (1)

Hello

To load an .iso image through the boot process through a pendrive (or usb flash drive) I use since long time ago Ventoy

I want to know if is possible, and mostly safe, accomplish the following scenario

  • Is possible update ventoy through Linux when it was installed from the beginning through Windows 10?
Therefore exists currently a pendrive with Ventoy installed through Windows 10. But I want to know if is possible update Ventoy in the same pendrive through Linux - of course it in other laptop.

The pendrive has some .iso images and other custom directories and files.

  Understanding the boot loader
Posted by: balanga - 01-26-2024, 10:45 PM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - Replies (3)

I'm trying to figure out how the boot loader works, and it seems to me that it consists of two files boot.img and core.img.

Can someone confirm that that is the case?
