Help me on this!
This happened while installing the balena etcher software how to resolve the issue ?
Also I installed the OS successfully while installing I have created two partitions except boot and swap now I want to merge the extra portion of the memory into one is that possible ,Without mount USB?

[mint oxide]

hello. If you need to adjust partitions sizing, you must do it from the live environment by booting up the USB

[median onyx]

Usw ventoy. And ESP is mandatory. Without boot you can't boot

Boot/esp and swap are automatically made by mint, you can't just skip it

[mint oxide]

Seems they booted the final install just fine

[median onyx]

Unless you do a manual installation, yet ESP is mandatory on all installs

[mint oxide]

It seems to me they installed, erased the USB stick, then now want to adjust partitions.

so it doesnt really matter if u use Etcher's Appimage for linux, or Ventoy for linux to remake the USB, as long as you do it, then reboot with it, and use gparted in the live desktop to resize stuff. DO NOT ERASE OR MESS WITH ANY EXISTING FAT32 EFI PARTITIONS.

[median onyx]

Just letting em know. And ventoy is better and easier to use

[midnight oak]

Even after downloading the file, in the terminal sudo sh Ventoy2Drive.sh /dev/sda
After entering the password it shows you don't have Ventoy2Drive.sh file

[mint oxide]

supposed to drag the VentoyGUI_64.x86 file onto a terminal, then press enter

extract archive first.

[midnight oak]

Extracted already

[midnight oak]

Okay will try and update

[median onyx]

you don't run that. you run ventoyGUI

[midnight oak]

Now it's showing like this what to do

[midnight oak]

While running ventoyGUI this occurred

[median onyx]

you're doing it wrong

[median onyx]

this is how you run it

and that's the window that should open, and how to setup it

[midnight oak]

this worked well thanks mate @median onyx
