  mod Ventoy Menu Tip Plugin(Design ventoy 1.0.86)
Posted by: AlexBryansk - 02-26-2023, 08:50 PM - Forum: Ventoy Plugin Forum - Replies (11)

1. I present the changes in the plugin "menu_tip". Now "tip" can display messages with a length of 4000 English characters. Which is equivalent for many languages to about 2000 national symbols.
Screenshot of the ventoy.json file.
   

a)Added new parameters to the theme file theme.txt
  menu-tip-width: "33%" // label width - any number
  menu-tip-align: "right" // right, left, center
b)The spelling was corrected in ventoy.json : The "tip" parameter is written in one line. If you need to forcibly transfer a string (analogous to "Enter") when it is displayed in ventoy, insert the tilde symbol "~" into the text.
2. It is also now possible to transfer text in the "label" component.
Set the TIP_WIDTH parameter.
Example:

Code:
+ hbox{
    left = 2%
    top = 60%
    + label {text = "@VTOY_HOTKEY_TIP@" color = "white" align = "left" TIP_WIDTH = "38%"}
}

Screenshot of the result of item 1 and item2
   

3. "tip" can be added for the menu item set manually in the file "grub.cfg".
a) It is necessary to set "vt_tip_dir_id" any name, in the example "/message_1"
b) Add the "id" string to the submenu: "--id="DIR_" _VTIP_${ventoy_brower_tip}"
c) Set the "dir" parameter in the "menu_tip" plugin: "/message_1", the same as in paragraph a)

Example:
Code:
vt_tip_dir_id /message_1
submenu "  ventoy browser" --class iconFM --id="DIR_" _VTIP_${ventoy_brower_tip}{
        unset timeout
        set VTOY_MENU_TIP_ENABLE=0
        vt_browser_disk
}

Screenshot of the result of item 3

  SeaTools image does not boot
Posted by: eyal - 02-26-2023, 09:02 AM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - No Replies

I now use ventoy 1.88.

I downloaded "SeaTools Bootable"
   USBbootSetup-SeaToolsBootable.zip
from
   https://www.seagate.com/au/en/support/do.../seatools/
Ran it and created a USB disk.

The disk boots and works as expected. I think it is a Core Linux using busybox.
I now read the disk ('dd' under linux) and copied the image to the ventoy disk where I have a number of images. For example a fedora 37 CD boots fine as others do.

This SeaTools image does not boot properly. It actually starts to boot but then drops into a shell prompt.
It does not matter if I enable or not UEFI boot.
I captured the boot logs (dmesg) of a good boot and a failed boot, however since this is a standard package it should be easy to reproduce. I hope.

  display problem
Posted by: jstaber2 - 02-25-2023, 01:18 PM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - Replies (5)

After booting to the Ventoy usb drive I see several lines of code and then a grub> prompt instead of the Ventoy menu.

How can I fix this?

  Bricked USB drive after Windows install
Posted by: TaktischerSpeck - 02-21-2023, 02:36 PM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - Replies (1)

Hey,

I installed multiple Linux Computers with my ventoy drive, but it seems like that a Windows 11 install bricked my drive.

So the Stick does get recognized, but as if it has no storage at all.
I tried diskpart and clean, it also does not show up with storage under Linux.

Any idea what happen or what i can do?

Thanks Vincent

  Unable to mount ventoy partition
Posted by: Heffgé - 02-20-2023, 03:24 PM - Forum: Ventoy Plugin Forum - Replies (11)

Hi,

Ventoy partition on my USB stick can't be mounted by Linux (Mint Cinnamon) despite VENTOY_LINUX_REMOUNT added to my json file.

It has been reported here that VENTOY_LINUX_REMOUNT has to be added too in control_legacy and in control_uefi but that has no effect, regardless boot type, UEFI or legacy.

I noticed too that menu language stays english even when modifying it.

My json file includes a persistence section and that works fine but may be there's something wrong in the control section. Here is my file :


Code:
{
  "control": [
    {
      "VTOY_LINUX_REMOUNT": "1"
    },
    {
      "VTOY_MENU_LANGUAGE": "fr_FR"
    }
  ],
  "control_legacy": [
    {
      "VTOY_LINUX_REMOUNT": "1"
    },
    {
      "VTOY_MENU_LANGUAGE": "fr_FR"
    }
  ],
  "control_uefi": [
    {
      "VTOY_LINUX_REMOUNT": "1"
    },
    {
      "VTOY_MENU_LANGUAGE": "fr_FR"
    }
  ],
  "persistence": [
    {
      "image": "/Fichiers ISO/Linux Mint Cinnamon/linuxmint-20.3-cinnamon-64bit.iso",
      "backend": [
        "/Persistence/Linux Mint Cinnamon/persistence_ext4_1GB_casper-rw.dat"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Thanking you in advance for any suggestion.

  Limitations/requirements of iso contents and files
Posted by: misterhai - 02-19-2023, 11:59 AM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - Replies (2)

I was hoping someone could give me a breakdown on the overall requirements of the iso files ventoy can boot and the limitations of ventoy.

Can I put an iso without a bootloader on ventoy partition?

Can ventoy boot with just an initrd/vmlinux/filesystem.squashfs on the iso, no syslinux/isolinux/grub?

Question Why Ventoy enabled LinuxMint.vdi file not booting in VirtualBox?
Posted by: rJD#v6 - 02-14-2023, 04:06 PM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - Replies (5)

I am facing an issue while trying to run a LinuxMint.vdi file on Virtual Box on a Windows 10 host machine. I get the following error message:

(1) "cryptsetup: waiting for encrypted source device /dev/mapper/ventoy3...
https://i.imgur.com/U2YU5WM.jpeg

(2) "Volume group "vgmint" not found"
https://i.imgur.com/vOXpMP7.jpeg

Having said that Earlier, it was working fine and I was able to run it both in the real system (using a Ventoy-enabled USB drive) as well as in VirtualBox. However, after trying the USB drive on a secure boot enabled laptop (by following this) I am now only able to run the LinuxMint.vdi in the real system using a Ventoy-enabled USB drive NOT in VirtualBox.

Is there a solution to this problem, or any other way I can run the .vdi file in VirtualBox on my Windows 10 host machine? I was just hoping that since it can run on a real machine, I could run a script or something in Linux Mint terminal which would make the .vhd file work again in VirtualBox?

FAQ:
Q1. If it wokring on a real system then why I need to run this into VirtualBox?
Ventoy may require running the LinuxMint.vdi in VirtualBox in cases where there are updates to the Linux Mint kernel. These updates can cause Ventoy to stop functioning on a real system, and a special Script must be run within Linux Mint to restore its compatibility with the Ventoy-enabled USB drive.

Q2. Software Version?
Running Lattest VirtualBox Version 7.0.6 r155176 (Qt5.15.2) on Windows 10 and latest version of Ventoy.

Q3. Have you tried reaching out to the Linux Community or VirtualBox Community for help?
I asked the same question in both the Linux Community and VirtualBox Community, but have not received any help so far. They directed me to the Ventoy community, as it is related to Ventoy.

Q4. Its may be related to LUKS encryption?
Actually, I chose LUKS encryption while installing Linux Mint, and it worked flawlessly both on the real system (using a Ventoy-enabled USB drive) and in virtualbox. 

Q5. Have you copy the LinuxMint.vdi in local disc before trying to open the Ventoy enabled LinuxMint.vdi file in VirtualBox?
Yes, I tried it both ways: directly on a Ventoy-enabled USB drive (by renaming it back to.vid) and by copying it to a local disc before running it through VirtualBox. Both time same error.

  Linux installation: GUI says success, stderr says CRITICAL
Posted by: jakesalomon - 02-14-2023, 02:38 PM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - Replies (2)

Greetings.

My previous thread (which is not quite resolved) is still open.  However, I am trying it on Linux, where Acronis is not an issue.

As per the video that told be about ventoy, I downloaded and uncompressed & untarred release 1.0.88, opened a terminal window and then ran: 

Code:
sudo ./VentoyGUI.x86_64

The GUI behaved nicely and claimed success at the installation.  However, back to the shell window I see this pair of messages:

Code:
(Ventoy2Disk.gtk3:2251): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 08:56:33.446: gtk_widget_grab_default: assertion 'gtk_widget_get_can_default (widget)' failed

(Ventoy2Disk.gtk3:2251): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 08:56:33.446: gtk_widget_grab_default: assertion 'gtk_widget_get_can_default (widget)' failed

So did it fail or succeed?  Well, when I insert the USB drive again, I do see it on the desktop.  However, when I open it I see nothing.  The bottom border tells me:
0 items, Free space 64.1GB. HMM.. Since it's mounted on /media/jake/Ventoy, let's peek in with ls:

Code:
ls -lda /media/jake/Ventoy/*

ls: cannot access '/media/jake/Ventoy/*': No such file or directory

Not even a boot partition?  I suppose it's a success in that it didn't brick the USB.  But it didn't do anything useful either!  Angry

Wazzup?  Huh

Open to ideas here, folks.

Thanks much for help.
