Hi there, I have started using Ventoy recently, but I have a question, where do I install the OS that I use in Ventoy? do I install it to the hard drive, or just live boot, I would love any help.

Hello,

Is there any support for running as a service or is it advised to use thirds-party software such as runasaservice or nssm?

In earlier Dell models, enrolling the ventoy key into the key manager works fine and allows you to boot Ventoy after enrolling the key.

However, in at least the new Dell Latitude 5550's, this no longer works.  As a matter of fact, you don't even get the pop up from Ventoy to enroll the key into the key manager, it just tries to boot, then can't.

The only way to boot Ventoy with new Dell laptops is to disable secure boot in the bios, do what you need, then re-enable secure boot.

Can you put this on a buglist or a list to fix?

Hello everybody,
Introducing: I'm new in this forum and last month I didn't even know what the word "Linux" meant... I am learning this world.
And I discovered Ventoy ! I join the millions of people who have already said how excellent it is.
So, please be understanding if what I'm saying here could be well known to everyone...except to me.

Currently I'm having fun with theme and I've noted the recommended " tap 'c' and 'exit' " on dozens of forums (it doesn't really suit me).
In fact, in normal use one never (rarely) needs to quit Ventoy... Except when testing theme creations, where you do it 100 times a day.

Then, from this 'exit' word, I've also discovered 2 other magic ones: 'halt' and 'reboot'.
{- I don't really know why one doesn't talk about it more ? Is it disruptive for the Ventoy process to use them ?
- I seem to have understood that they risk to close all current sessions ? But I'm alone on my PC ? Also, I haven't launched any distro yet ?
Note: I also tried 'shutdown' and 'poweroff' words used in Grub, but without result}

Anyway, here is still a full way to quit, not as fast as " tap 'c' ", but it's graphical mode and just "for the pleasure" of using what exists (and also what Mr. Ventoy has spent so much effort to offer to us). This uses the 'ventoy_grub.cfg' via 'F6/exMenu'.

This is long version, using 'submenu'...
In fact, I don't have any other commands in it yet, one can also place these commands in "primary menu" level and then rewrite 'F6/exMenu' title in simply "F6/Exit" ?

Watch out: the “Oops!” container is useful to protect against excessive {Enter} key typing (if not, when arriving into menu, you risk to exit without wanting it).
The "Ho Ho Ho" containers are facultative, to separate the block from other commands (if any).

==== (Sorry, I have tried to use "CODE" decoration, but...) ====

menuentry ' ' --class=custom {
echo 'Ho Ho Ho'
}
submenu 'Quit Ventoy Program -->' --class=customsub {
  menuentry ' ' --class=custom2 {
  echo 'Oops !'
}     
menuentry ' --> Exit and Return to BIOS Boot Shell' --class=custom2 {
  echo 'Bye Bye... You are redirected to BIOS Boot Shell…'
  sleep 2
  exit
}   
menuentry ' --> Exit and Reboot the system' --class=custom2 {
  echo 'See you soon... System is rebooting…'
  sleep 2
  reboot
}
menuentry ' --> Complete Shutdown' --class=custom2 {
  echo 'Bye Bye.. System is shuting down…'
  sleep 2
  halt
}   
menuentry '<-- Return to previous menu [Esc]' --class=vtoyret VTOY_RET {
  echo 'return...'
}
}
menuentry ' ' --class=custom {
echo 'Ho Ho Ho'
}

menuentry '<-- Return to previous menu [Esc]' --class=vtoyret VTOY_RET {
echo 'Return …'
}

=========== END ===========

I hope it will please someone as newbie as me.
Thanks for reading

Hi,

I am doing some boot timing sped tests from ventoy

I can't see a clock on screen when I boot an iso

is there a way to get an onscreen clock to display in ventoy?


Thanks

Hi,

I have installed ventoy to some hardrives of mine, one is uefi the other is MBR

By default with these drives plugged my pc wil default to ventoy
Sometimes I use supergrub live to generate a live entry of the other operating systems installed on the same disks, but it's a slow process

I would like to boot these drives with grub and see a menu entry to boot ventoy

Has anybody done this?

If so could you please copy paste your grub entry that boots ventoy and I will modify it accordingly

Thanks

I was deleting partitions on my server in a stupidly aggressive manor and accidently deleted my ventoy partitions.  I can not reformat the drive.  I have even low level formatted the stick to no avail.  I have checked to ensure that this is a legit drive (I got it on sale thankfully). It seems to indicate a inability to write the drive?  Yet I can low level and regular format it on windows.  Your help greatly appreciated.

My thumbdrive via validrive.exe (www.grc.com)

[2024/06/02 17:56:44.778] Not ventoy disk, set secure boot option

Thank you!
