I'm trying to install NuTYX for the first time I copied the iso with balena etcher and I also tried with Multiwriter on a usb stick when I choose 22.07.XFCE4 UEFI NORMAL
this message show up in the terminal:
Starting initrd
10.1274491 /dev/loopO:Can't open blockdev
starting version 246
it stops there and does not install I waited for more than one hour nothing happened Please any help why it will not install ?
My best regards

Hello Batmanxx1
Welcome to NuTyX
I think those windows tools are not that good for copying the ISO.
You need to choose one that really use the equivalent command in Windows of "dd" linux command.

Good luck

I have another linux distribution installed but you still reccommend using: one of these two as you recomended ?

No no not at all.
If you can use the 'dd' command like recommended in the documentation (from your other distribution)
is the best choice
-
Please what is the dd command ? this is the method I used i just copied the iso from your website by using balena etcher and I did not work then I tried multiwriter and it didn't work, as said before I have a linux distrubution installed to install NuTyx what iso writer do you reccomend ?
-
this is the method I used i just copied the iso from your website by using balena etcher ...
Most of the time it's fails
Please what is the dd command ?
A single google research:
https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/dd-command-linux/
or in the official NuTyX documentation:
http://nutyx.org/en/downloads#5

So how does it work once I download the script install-nutyx after lsblk -S ? I am missing something? I have to copy this into the other linux distribution teminal that I have already installed correct. What is the correct process?
-
No no it's much much more simple:
You do everything from your installed distribution, regardless what it is:
Open a terminal and do followings commands:
- Download the ISO you want for example for XFCE4:
wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/nutyx/files/NuTyX_x86_64-22.07.0-XFCE4.iso sha1sum NuTyX_x86_64-22.07.0-XFCE4.iso- You identify the USB key with the command:
sudo lsblk -S- and finally you dd the ISO on the USB key
sudo dd if=NuTyX_x86_64-22.07.0-XFCE4.iso of=/dev/<name_of_your_key> status=progress
-
Ok download the iso from sourceforge (check signature) and then just copy as it is sha1sum NuTyX_x86_64-22.07.0-XFCE4.iso into the terminal ? I think I've understood the other two commands
Please what would be the process instead for KDE
-
what would be the process instead for KDE
Replace XFCE4 with KDE5
-
Thank you so much !!! I will try the process you sent by using the terminal. I have another linux distro installed as I told you.
-
Thank you so much !!!
You're Welcome !!! Hope you managed

Please I only forgot that I have two drives one is 250gb and the other 500gb after the command in the terminal sudo lsblk -S what is the command to choose the right drive for example the 500gb to install NuTyx
-
DO NOT USE DD on your HardDrive
It will erase them.
You need to insert your USB key first then run
sudo lsblk -Sto identify your usb key as /dev/sdX

ok Thank you I will try and let you know
-
please will the command sudo dd if=NuTyX_x86_64-22.07.0-XFCE4.iso of=/dev/<name_of_your_key> status=progress, also erase the content if there is anything on the usb key ?
-
sudo dd if=NuTyX_x86_64-22.07.0-XFCE4.iso of=/dev/<name_of_your_key> status=progress will this command also erase if there anything on the usb key ilike rufus does for example or do I need another tool to format the usb first ?
-
the command sudo dd if=NuTyX_x86_64-22.07.0-XFCE4.iso of=/dev/<name_of_your_key> status=progress, also erase the content
Yes

No
