Error on USB Boot

[wheat brook]

Here is the error that occurs:

Failed to open NEFT\Boot \mmx64 .efi - Not Found
Failed to load image : Not Found
Failed to start Noklanager: Not Found
Something has gone seriously wrong: import_nok_state0 failed: Not Found

I was able to get into the Linux setup once but it didn’t install and it shut off. Now I keep getting this error on booting my usb

[broken gate]

Have you installed Ventoy on the USB drive?

[wheat brook]

No, I haven’t heard of Ventoy

[broken gate]

ventoy.net You just use ventoy2disk to put it on the USB, then you just copy/paste ISOs to the USB

[spice geyser]

yeah it is really convinient to use ventoy

[broken gate]

It only uses about 30MB of space and you can put other files on the drive

[spice geyser]

yeah, i use ventoy and it has been very reliable for both windows and linux

[wheat brook]

Alright, I’ll try that instead of Etcher

Can I get a link?

[spice geyser]

https://www.ventoy.net/

[wheat brook]

@broken gate do I just copy the iso to the usb or do I make a bootable image?

I got an error when I just copied it

[broken gate]

What error?

[broken gate]

It should be drag and drop to the USB drive as long as it isn't showing as VENTOYEFI- that is the bootable part

[wheat brook]

Yeah it didn’t show that

My usb had its name changed to Ventoy and I copied the iso over. There’s nothing else in the folder

Verification failed: (0x1A) Security Violation

[naive spruce]

run ventoy2disk again with the usb stick plugged in

it should show the lock symbol on both the left and right sides, indicating Secure Boot support is enabled on the ventoy usb

[wheat brook]

Do I click Install or Update?

[naive spruce]

if u already installed wrong, u have to do Clear Ventoy from the option menu

then close it, relaunch it, and match the pic

secure boot and gpt on. then click Install

[wheat brook]

Do I have to set it to GPT after clearing?

[naive spruce]

yes, clear.. shut the app down

then redo

[wheat brook]

This is so complicated. Last time it worked flawlessly

[naive spruce]

it's easy. all it is is set SB support, and GPT.

if u dont want secure boot running, then u have to turn that off in the BIOS

otherwise u'll get a blue screen once booting the ventoy usb requesting u to enroll the vtoyefi secure boot certificate

https://youtu.be/CuonyS3xdwg?t=292 (4:52 onward if u insist on keeping Secure Boot left ON in the BIOS, will show how to enroll)

[wheat brook]

Same error happened

[naive spruce]

Failed to open NEFT\Boot \mmx64 .efi - Not Found
Failed to load image : Not Found
Failed to start Noklanager: Not Found
Something has gone seriously wrong: import_nok_state0 failed: Not Found

[wheat brook]

I see what I did wrong this step I’ll try again

[naive spruce]

this looks like some spelling errors. are you sure it says NEFT at the top?

[wheat brook]

It’s not, I copied from a picture I took

\EFI\Boot\mmx64.efi

import_mok_state()

[naive spruce]

that's probably cuz the usb was made with the MBR style earlier. thus it can't find the EFI for UEFI boot.. on GPT style it should find it no problem.

should look like this, including those padlock symbols.

[wheat brook]

It does

I went through all the steps the video showed up until reboot and it just booted me into windows

[naive spruce]

did u add a valid ISO to ventoy blank area?

after it copies over.. wait half a minute to let it rest. then reboot, and choose "UEFI USB device" to boot up a live system.

if the issue is AFTER u installed linux, that's a different story

[wheat brook]

I’m in the Mint boot now. There’s one that has an arrow icon that says “Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon 64-bit” and one that has a disc that says “Install Mint Linux”

[naive spruce]

yeah test your WiFi, screen display resolution, Sound jacks (all of them) before deciding if it is fit to install.

or if you're only on Ethernet connectivity, leave it connected so if u do install, it can pull any (perhaps necessary) third-party media codecs and/or drivers.

[wheat brook]

Did they change how you connect to wifi? I can’t find how to connect to my network

[naive spruce]

Settings (switches) icon in the start menu faves section.. then Network

if you Wifi adapter/card doesn't show up there, then check Driver manager but there's a chance it may be too new

[wheat brook]

Nothing shows up and it says I don’t need any drivers

[naive spruce]

what's the release to market date of the computer, or the wireless card?

if it's within a year and a half, get the Mint Cinnamon edge ISO instead, and test with that.

“Unmount partitions that are in use?

The installer has detected that the following have mounted partitions:

/dev/sda

Do you want the installer to try to unmount the partitions on these disks before continuing?”

[broken gate]

If /dev/sda is the drive you want to install too, press y
