#

its like ubuntu but it uses the XFCE DE instead of gnome

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 8:14 AM

#

So, if you don't have USB creator, you need to install ventoy

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:14 AM

#

wait i can just get something on flatpak

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 8:14 AM

#

in Xubuntu you should have USB creator

extract it in a location you can found it

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:19 AM

#

in downloads

#

yeah? do i drag ventoyGUI.X86_64 in terminal

#

because i remember stunner helping me install it

Right, you know have the proper "ventoy" partition

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:22 AM

#

yes i put .iso in here

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 8:22 AM

#

yes

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:22 AM

#

and wait 30 secs after installion .iso

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:23 AM

#

gritty oracle and wait 30 secs after installion .iso

stunner told me that not me

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 8:23 AM

#

yes but, wait

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:23 AM

#

when do i put .isos

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 8:23 AM

#

first, put the iso file, let it finish transfer

#

and wait

#

do nothing

#

tell me once it finished transfer

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:23 AM

#

linuxmint-22.3-cinnamon-64bit.iso this?

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 8:24 AM

#

yes

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:25 AM

#

uhh @opal scaffold why did it go up to 1 sec to almost 51

#

now its 22 secs

#

copying is done

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 8:25 AM

#

because transfer rate vary depending on available cache in destination media

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:25 AM

#

#

ohhhh

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 8:26 AM

#

the first burst of transfer is quick because of cache memory, but after, it get slow because it need to actually write data on chip

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:27 AM

#

ohhh understand EVEN more

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 8:27 AM

#

gritty oracle

Ok, do no touch physically the USB stick, click the "Eject" icon

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:27 AM

#

huh

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 8:27 AM

#

wait for notification saying that USB can be safely removed

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:28 AM

#

uhhh none

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 8:28 AM

no, you wait

#

you clicked the Eject icon ?

#

if nothing happen, you wait

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:29 AM

#

i didnt where?

#

@opal scaffold where

#

@opal scaffold where is the eject icon???

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 8:31 AM

#

wait

#

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:32 AM

#

both?

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 8:32 AM

#

one one

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:32 AM

#

okay

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 8:32 AM

#

only on is enough

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:32 AM

#

device can be removed

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 8:32 AM

#

since both are for the same media

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:32 AM

#

i clicked the ventoy eject button

#

and it told me device can be removed

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 8:33 AM

#

right

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:33 AM

#

remove the usb?

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 8:33 AM

#

that is is normal process to ensure that every read/write operation actually finished on the media

#

this ensure the media properly recorded data

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:33 AM

#

how do i check

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 8:34 AM

#

if you don't ensure that, you may unplug the usb stick while it is in fact processing, and then, data is corrupted

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:34 AM

#

what...

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:35 AM

#

opal scaffold if you don't ensure that, you may unplug the usb stick while it is in fact proce...

im sensitive about that...

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 8:35 AM

#

and it told me device can be removed
That, when you have that, you know USB data transfer and processing finished

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:35 AM

#

when i clicked eject button on ventoy it told me that

#

so do i remove the usb

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 8:36 AM

#

unless you properly eject it and don't have this kind of message, you may corrupt data on USB stick

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 8:36 AM

#

gritty oracle so do i remove the usb

no

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:36 AM

#

okay ill keep it

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 8:36 AM

#

Please, do you understad what I explain ?

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:36 AM

#

yes if i remove it might corrupt data

#

im wrong again =(

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 8:37 AM

#

If you remove it without properly ejecting it and before it told you and you actually can remove it safely

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:37 AM

#

right?

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:37 AM

#

opal scaffold If you remove it without properly ejecting it and before it told you and you act...

oh man

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 8:38 AM

#

now, you had this message, you properly eject, you could remove it, but don't : because we will restart

#

so no need to unplug it

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:38 AM

#

oh ok

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 8:39 AM

#

I wanted you to click eject and wait for the message to ensure that data properly processed in USB stick to be sure I/O operations finished

#

to avoid data error

#

understand ?

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:39 AM

#

i do but what is I/O

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 8:40 AM

#

In/Out

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:40 AM

#

like O Is right and I is not good

#

and im wrong again

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 8:40 AM

#

I/O = Input / Output = Read / Write

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:40 AM

#

ok

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 8:41 AM

#

"I/O Operation" = "Read/Write operation"

#

well... Restart your computer and boot to Ventoy USB stick

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:41 AM

#

i cant restart

#

i need to shut down my pc and open it and spam f8

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 8:41 AM

#

ok, do that

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:42 AM

If something goes wrong...

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 8:50 AM

you still have to install Mint

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:51 AM

Ik how to I stall drivers

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:51 AM

opal scaffold you still plan to dual-boot ?

Is the problem ventoy or no

#

If it is then yes dual boot

#

@opal scaffold

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 8:53 AM

#

gritty oracle Is the problem ventoy or no

No, not exactly, the problem is that when you copied the Linux Mint iso file into your USB stick the first time, it seem something wrong happened, and file was corrupted

#

so installer crashed

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 8:53 AM

#

Okay so xubuntu too?

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 8:53 AM

#

I guess you did not pay attention and uplugged the stick while still I/O operation remaining

@opal scaffold

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 9:06 AM

#

gritty oracle

This si your Xubuntu partition, move the right triangle you resize the partition the size you want

#

use the mouse to move the black triangle

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 9:07 AM

#

black triangle???

#

ohh you mean that

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 9:07 AM

#

You see the blue rectangle ?

#

yes, I mean that

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 9:07 AM

#

what does the yellow mean?

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 9:07 AM

Yellow = Occupied space

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 9:07 AM

#

huh okay

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 9:07 AM

So 300 GiB = 300000 MiB

gritty oracle May 23, 2026, 9:09 AM

#

huh

#

this?

#

@opal scaffold right?

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 9:11 AM

SOLVED (Solution : use manual partitioning through live gparted application, before running up the mint installer)

opal scaffold May 23, 2026, 1:32 PM

dreamy pelican **SOLVED** (Solution : use manual partitioning through live gparted application,...

the real fix was to re-copy Mint ISO to USB stick, the ISO was corrupted

the royal fuck up was proceeding from this point : #1507513393538400428 message (destroying ventoy in the process) @quasi vortex , @opal scaffold always be aware for LVM horseshit - sometimes a user selection, and sometimes a case of dumb mint installer choosing the free space on wrong device.

#

the tip off is knowing is the target really sda?? or nvme0n1? was supposed to be the latter.

gritty oracle
