| F4:Localboot alternative method |
|

Hi
Is there another method to activate the 'Local boot' option associated with the F4 key?
I've built a Ventoy based boot selector that runs on an ESP32 with serial interface, it allows you to select the menu item that you want to boot, then turns on the PC, waits for Ventoy to load, selects your boot choice, and presses return. This is all working as expected.
However, due to limitations of the serial protocol I cannot send Function Keys to Ventoy and I would like to impliment the 'Local boot' option.
I was wondering if maybe I could press a key to drop to a shell then activate the local boot functionality?
Many thanks
Dan
Just in case anyone else needs the answer to this question:
The F keys are mirrored to the regular number keys at the top of the keyboard, pressing 4 will open Local Boot.
Is this an undocumented feature?

The problem when writing to the drive |

Hi when trying to write using GPT, exFAT, Secure boot i have error. With NTFS, MBR same. without secure boot same. I tried to remove and tick different boxes. cluster sizes, etc. tried also recording VTSI via Rufus. the recording is successful, but in Ventoy it does not show the version and the flash drive does not read. Also tried to burn via Rufus Live CD and try to install. error. flash drive with AliExpress, tried to make a low level format but got the same. log.txt
log.txt (Size: 34.13 KB / Downloads: 4)
ChatGPT said "This log seems to show the output of some kind of program or system operation. It appears to be a sequence of messages related to reading and writing data to a drive or disk, with some error codes and failure messages included.
The messages suggest that the program is attempting to write data to a disk or drive, but is encountering some errors along the way. For example, there are several messages that show a code of 183, which may indicate a "file already exists" error.
Eventually, the program encounters a more serious error message: "The data write and read does not match". This suggests that the program was unable to write the data correctly, or that there may be a problem with the disk itself.
Finally, the log shows that the program attempts to perform some kind of disk formatting operation, but encounters an error and fails. There are also messages that suggest the program is attempting to find which process is occupying the disk."

So I sent the $19 and still don't have access to the paid forums. It's been like a week now and I've contacted them TWICE with no reply. Anyone even here?!

| Migration from MBR to GPT fails |

Hi,
on old hardware I made a Ventoy USB stick using MBR. This Vento USB stick worked.
The first partition was an ext4 partition holding
xubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso
xubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-pers1.dat
ventoy/ventoy.json
the content of ventoy/ventoy.json was
Code: {
"persistence": [
{
"image": "/xubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso",
"backend": "/xubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-pers1.dat"
}
]
}
Now I try to make a Ventoy USB stick using GPT on new hardware. Actually it's the same USB stick.
I tried in 1001 way, never touched the second partition, but whatever I tried so far doesn't work. The closest to something working was done this way:
I used gparted to create the GPT and to create an 16380 MiB sized ext4 partition. Behind the ext4 partition were 13619 MiB left unallocated.
Then I run
Code: ventoy -i -r 13554 -g -n /dev/sdf
I copied
xubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso
xubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-pers1.dat
ventoy/ventoy.json
to the ext4 partition, the files that were used by the MBR USB stick. I have done nothing to the second partition. When I boot I get the Ventoy menu with the Ventoy wallpaper claiming that no ISOs are available.
Other attempts without the "-n" option were even more worse. I got a black screen, the output was something similar to "invalid Ventoy".
Code: # pacman -Q ventoy-bin
ventoy-bin 1.0.91-1
# ventoy -l /dev/sdf
**********************************************
Ventoy: 1.0.91 x86_64

Why do I get a This is not a valid ventoy device with error code 12 if I try to boot Ventoy from my Samsung T7 Shield after installing a Windows time machine software such as Eazy Fix from Eaz Solution or Rollback Rx from Horizon DataSys. The software should only modify the MBR on the primary drive but it also modified the MBR on the USB drive and when I turn protection off it only restores the MBR on the primary drive but does not restore the MBR on the USB drive. The MBR gets rewritten on both drives every time I turn protection on. If I try to reinstall Ventoy to my USB drive while protection is turned on the install or update fails unless I turn protection off. I use GPT on both drives.

| serial boot - USB-to-FTDI adaptor |

Hi
I'm trying to get Ventoy working over serial using this FTDI USB-TO-Serial adaptor but it's not working.
My laptop does not have a built in serial port, so a USB adaptor is my only option.
I tried adding:
Code: {
"theme": {
"display_mode": "serial_console",
"serial_param": "--unit=0 --speed=9600"
}
}
But I'm guessing this is for hardware UARTs on the motherboard rather than USB based options.
I see that Grub supports the FTDI adaptor but I'm out of my depth in understanding how to activate this in Ventoy ..or if it's possible.
