I still have problems with my usb wireless keyboard not working most times when I boot ventoy in legacy mode. It might work once out of ten tries which is very frustrating. If I boot in UEFI mode the keyboard works every time but I have lots of problems with the files I want to use. Macrium Reflect only works in memdisk mode. many of the iso's just refuse to load. If I choose normal mode I just get a cursor at the top left of the screen and nothing happens. I have tried using a plug in usb keyboard but get the same results. I also have problems with wim files in UEFI also.
Ideal solution for me would be to get the keyboard to work in Legacy. I should also point out that Easy2Boot also has the same problem but I seem to need that less and less.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have had this computer for 10 years and this keyboard problem is something that has only started about 2 years ago and only with ventoy/easy2boot.
I was advised before to hold the shift key while booting in easy2boot to load the usb drivers but that does not work either.
I should also mention that there is no bios update for my motherboard, but like I said I never had these problems until lately.

This is what happens when I try to boot and easy2boot drive with ventoy and agfm.
9 times out of 10 in legacy mode the keyboard will not work once the menu easy2boot menu comes up.
Following advice here i have found a work around but is less than ideal.
when the blue easy2boot screen comes up i hold down thew shift key. [must get the timing right]
at first I get this:

INFO: GRUB4DOS USB 2.0 driver (shift key down)
...scanning usb devices..
Then I get this:
INFO: GRUB4DOS USB 2.0 driver (shift key down)
Error 81 no usb device found. Usb enumeration failed try to restart.
I let go of the shift key and the menu loads.
After all that the keyboard will work.

anyway of fixing that somehow?

I did not mean fixing, i meant some kind of command in a startup file that would automatically do this.

I have found a workaround that I can live with. I hate things that do not work but this will do.

I installed Ventoy on easy2boot as well as AGfm. I now boot easy2boot in legacy mode and do like I said above. Once the menu loads I can go to ventoy an use it no problem.

Bothers me that  cannot get a pure ventoy usb to legacy boot but at least I can do something.

On another note. I followed the instructions for adding a virtualbox machine as vtoy. This is amazing. It does not work in UEFi either but it works splendidly on legacy. I have to wonder if there is a need for linux systems with persistence anymore. I guess if you are cramped for space.
Any thoughts.

Is it possible to change the color and font in the menu header (theme.txt) ? Or just the font color.

When I boot Ventoy  from USB on Acer Asper TC-281 I get 1. Linspire Light and 2. lubuntu.
2. lubuntu is my hard drive.

1. doesn't boot and I'm guessing it is Ventoy?

hi

I use persistence on Linux Mint 21 with a 512 MB persistence dat file, but I get some warning from the system about memory as 5 MB left warning, or less, and I don't understand what it means, is this related to the persistence dat file size too low ?
If yes, how can I use all 512 MB ? though I delete thumbnails cache, browser cache, journals etc all that ca be involved
If no, how can I check the place left in the persistence dat file ?

Hi Longpanda!is it possible to use this plugin for Kaspersky Rescue Disk (krd.iso) to set check_signatures=no in the grub.cfg file of Kaspersky Rescue Disk?

By using the Ventoy Extended menu (F6), we can boot to pmagic_2022_09_04.iso with Live boot and Save (persistence).
See pmagic for details.

After update v 1.0.81 from 1.0.80, this error warning appear at boot, still boot Ventoy normaly, i checked ventoy.json but dont know how to solved it? 
Thank

Hello to all of you, I have an BIG problem.

Ventoy simply don't work on my old PC computer, with Z97 chipset. Motherboard is this one from thread main title.

It shows all meny, but, when it starts to load any ISO file, it reboots itself ? Means, computer reboots always. No matter which ISO file I tried.

I tried ansolutely everything, even to boot it from USB 2.0 port, instead USB 3.0...nothing helps !

Can somebody try to check what is the problem here ?


On my laptop from 2017, Lenovo Ideapad 110-IBK, I don't have such problem.

Hello and thank you for this great project!
I just want to mention a bug that I discovered.
If we disable this option it is indeed disabled but it shows enabled in plugson.
Thanks again!

Which markup should I choose correctly when creating a usb ventoy, MBR or GPT? How does this affect the download or installation ?
