[feature suggestion] Find files by path without setting in ventoy.json |

Hello!
Venty has reached a maturity that allows to look beyond function and start polishing the usability. Thank you for the hard work! I wonder why nobody did that much sooner?
Here is one suggestion. Allow me to explain the background first.
Whether we throw our files all into one directory...
Code: /images-and-corresponding-files/
distro1-config.cfg
distro1-persistence.dat
distro1.iso
distro2-config.cfg
distro2-persistence.dat
distro2.iso
/ventoy/
ventoy.json # global settings file (distros and ventoy)
...or keep them sorted...
Code: /configs/
distro1-config.cfg
distro2-config.cfg
/images/
distro1.iso
distro2.iso
/persistence-files/
distro1-persistence.dat
distro2-persistence.dat
/ventoy/
ventoy.json # global settings file (distros and ventoy)
...or sort by distro...
Code: /distros/
distro1/
distro1-config.cfg
distro1.iso
distro1-persistence.dat
distro2/
distro2-config.cfg
distro2.iso
distro2-persistence.dat
/ventoy/
ventoy.json # global settings file (distros and ventoy)
... whenever we change a distro, we also have to
- rename the persistence file,
- rename the config file,
- and edit the names of persistence and config files in the global ventoy.jason.
That can be more elegant. Here's the suggestion, consisting of two steps:
- Yentoy is enabled to automatically accept all files that belong to an image, if they are in the same folder with that image. That means its corresponding .dat, .cfg, .md5/.sha1/.sha256/.sha512 files.
- And also, all image specific settings that are now in the global ventoy.json file could go into an image-specific config file in that folder.
To keep backward compatibility, ventoy then needs to first look for corresponding files in its global ventoy.json, so every user can continue to use their current settings. Only if ventoy does not find entries there for the selected image, it then looks inside the folder of the selected image, reads the config there (if one exists), and then loads the image and the other files there.
We then could group images and files like this:
Code: /distros/
distro1/
distro1-config.cfg
distro1-persistence.dat
distro1-v1.2.3.iso
distro1.json # only settings for distro1
distro2/
distro2-config.cfg
distro2-persistence.dat
distro2-v4.5.6.iso
distro2.json # only settings for distro2
/ventoy/
ventoy.json # only settings for ventoy itself
Then, if the image file is replaced, and we want the new image to keep its new name (e.g., when it contains a version number):- No corresponding files needs renaming. (Checksums have to be replaced anyway.)
- No edit necessary in global ventoy.json.
- No edit necessary in image-specific config file (if existent).
Removing an image now only requires that a directory is deleted. No editing ventoy.json necessary. (Of course, one could stay with the old way, and just leave ventoy.json untouched, if one loves the accumulating cruft. )
The reasoning behind the idea is as follows.
A minor version change (e.g. v1.2.34 => 1.2.35) will rarely need a changed config (and maybe not even persistence?). For the case that it does, the ventoy documentation needs an extra sentence that alerts to unchanged .dat, .cfg, and .json in case of errors, and suggests moving them elsewhere for a test.
This will prove especially useful with images that do not change much over long times, and only add security fixes and minor changes (e.g. Clonezilla). They can use the same config for a long time, and we will not need to edit the .cfg name and ventoy.json with every minor update.
For the interested, related reading about the power of the lack of ease of use: "Beware Trivial Inconveniences"

Secureboot : Grub error "shim_lock protocol not found" |
Posted by: vernetroyer - 04-08-2022, 06:10 AM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum

When installing Ventoy on USB with GPT and SecureBoot, upon first boot I need to install keys, just as explained on the website.
The second boot however does start up Ventoy correctly, but when selecting SystemRescue 9.01, and Grub starts, I get the following Grub error:
shim_lock protocol not found, you need to load the kernel first
Rebooting with secure boot disabled does not give the error, and boots SystemRescue successfully.
Booting with secureboot gives a black (?) grub screen, booting without secureboot gives a green (?) grub screen.
Does anyone know a solution on how to solve this that it will work under SecureBoot?

mod Ventoy Menu Tip Plugin(Design ventoy ventoy 1.0.72) |

In continuation of the topics: Backgrounds per backrest, Design ventoy mod_ventoy 1.0.70.
I imagine the modified "Ventoy Menu Tip Plugin".
Except for the general parameters for all "tip": left, top и color.
Now you can set individual parameters for each hint: tipleft, tiptop и tipcolor.
Now the hint message can contain up to 7 lines: "tip1"...."tip7".
Пример:
Code: "menu_tip": {
"left": "2%",
"top": "42%",
"color": "blue",
"tips": [
{
"dir": "/ISO/Antivirus",
"tip1": "антивирусники: AVIRA Rescue Disk,",
"tip2": "ESET NOD32, Kaspersky Rescue Disk,",
"tip3": "Dr.Web AntiVirus.",
"tipleft": "68%",
"tiptop": "2%"
},
{
"image": "/ISO/linux/CentOS-7-x86_64-Everything-2009.iso",
"tip1": " Это не live-cd !!!!!",
"tip2": " CentOS — дистрибутив Linux, основанный на",
"tip3": "коммерческом Red Hat Enterprise Linux компа-",
"tip4": "нии Red Hat и совместимый с ним. С помощью",
"tip5": "этого установленного дистрибутива - компили-",
"tip6": "руется ventoy. На виртувльной машине где-то",
"tip7": "25-30 минут, на физической 7-10 минут."
},
{
"image": "/ISO/Antivirus/eset_sysrescue_live_enu.iso",
"tip1": " базы от 2020г+gparted-на",
"tip2": " русском.на slax.В составе",
"tip3": "утилита USERINIT_FIX созда-",
"tip4": "на компанией ESET специально",
"tip5": "для борьбы с вирусами-вымо-",
"tip6": "гателями.Запустите ее и сле-",
"tip7": "дуйте инструкциям.",
"tiptop": "51%",
"tipleft": "7%",
"tipcolor": "black"
},
{
"image": "/ISO/multiboot/mod_ventoy-1.0.72-livecd.iso",
"tip1": "Для записи ventoy на флешку.",
"tip2": "Работает лучше, чем под Windows.",
"tiptop": "36%",
"tipleft": "6%"
}
]
}
The video of the example can be viewed at the link: My ventoy.
You can download the modified files from the following links: ventoy-1.0.72-linux.tar.gz ventoy-1.0.72-windows.zip ventoy-1.0.72-livecd.iso

Linux vDisk - Will Games Run Slowly In vDisk? |
Posted by: trymeout - 04-02-2022, 12:33 AM - Forum: Ventoy Plugin Forum

I install and was able to run some games on a Manjaro and Linux Mint vDisk. It is in a VDI file and the computer I am using is powerful enough to run the game.
When I run the game it will freeze my computer after a minute, forcing me to reboot my computer. I am not sure if this is the limitations of using a Linux vDisk or if there is something more I need to do to make the game run smoothly.
I have used the Windows VHD plugin and was able to play high end games on the VHD with very little performance loss.
