Linux Distros not loading with LiveCD/DVD/USB?


Recommended Posts

Then try going into your BIOS and find the IOMMU Mode - IOMMU is supported on LINUX based systems to convert 32bit I/O to 64bit MMIO. Set it to Enabled.

Since changing this option every boot has been successful.

It sounds like your telling us about half of what you posted.

What is your problem/issue? I don't think anyone can give you support with that information.

Ok. In the past I and others here, have had issues loading distros normally. Some of us have to use nomodeset to load, others just get a black screen. Not sure why. But I and alot of others, have never got a good answer from anyone regarding this. I don't need support. I was actually posting how to get them to load. I meant to post this as a mini-tut.

Guess I failed in that. Sorry for the confusion.

the reason they need to use nomodeset is because the graphics driver is not there and needs to be installed manually

Not for me anymore. Now distros I had to use nomodeset before with, just load up.

I was a little confused by this post at first too, just like Mindovermaster, but I understood your meaning after reading it carefully a few times. I didn't know that changing that setting helped, or, to be honest, that it even exists on some machines. Thanks for the tip!

Technically, that's not quite right, but you have the right idea. You need to pass the nomodeset switch to the Linux kernel because the graphics driver (usually the framebuffer) tries to use a resolution your video card (or, at least, your monitor) can't handle. Since you don't have the hardware to support that resolution, the screen goes black. That switch hints to the graphics driver that it should keep the current resolution (which is normally 640x480 or 800x600, depending on what your bootloader set) instead of trying to automatically determine the native resolution for your monitor. Installing the proper video driver (or, more often, the DFSG non-free firmware for your video card) resolves the issue because the video driver can properly probe your video card and monitor for supported resolutions and make a sane resolution choice.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels A few months ago, Neowin reported that the UK was trialing a social media ban with 300 teenagers for six weeks, that testing has come to an end, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that the country will ban under-16s from social media. Starmer said that this technology is making children unhappy and making it easier for bullies to harass and abuse them. He continued to talk about the addictive nature of social media, saying that it uses an infinite scroll designed to lock users in for hours. He said this interferes with children doing their homework, reading, playing with friends outside, and going to bed on time. Tackling the idea that nothing can be done about social media, Starmer said: The government’s action won’t stop at social media either, the PM said. It plans to take action on gaming services and livestreaming platforms. Right now, he said, strangers can contact any child unchecked. He said this wouldn’t happen in real life, and the government is going to stop it from happening online, too. The Labour government has overseen the introduction of the Online Safety Act, a big change to the internet which includes age verification on adult websites. This has led to a fair bit of backlash, but overall, the government is pushing ahead with these changes.

    • HONOR Robot Phone unveils first Cinematic Video at Shanghai International Film Festival by Steven Parker Global AI device ecosystem company HONOR announced on June 13 that its revolutionary HONOR Robot Phone made its professional imaging debut at the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF), demonstrating the result of its mobile videography capabilities for the first time. As the official mobile photography and videography partner of the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival, HONOR empowers this premier cinematic event with cutting-edge mobile imaging technology. Marking the global debut of the first cinematic video it captured, Robot Phone breaks down the boundaries between mobile imaging and professional filmmaking, ushering in a new paradigm for the deep integration of technology and cinematic art. In the video published on HONOR’s official channel (above), Robot Phone was used byELLEMEN to capture cinematic video portraits for the SIFF jury members. With its exceptional stability and cinema-grade imaging capabilities, the device redefines the art of portrait filmmaking, faithfully reproducing the rich tonal gradations and nuanced color transitions associated with film photography. The result is a new level of visual sophistication, creating high-end cinematic imagery that seamlessly blends atmosphere with narrative tension. The video released for the Robot Phone showcases the powerful stabilization capabilities of its built-in gimbal system, delivering exceptionally smooth handheld camera movement while preserving full image quality. By minimizing reliance on electronic image stabilization, the device effectively avoids the image cropping and quality loss typically associated with digital stabilization methods. Representing an innovative leap in form factor, the HONOR Robot Phone features the industry's smallest titanium alloy gimbal, delivering ultra-precision, extreme flexibility, and superior stability. Driven by high-performance motors, the gimbal rises dynamically, breaking free from the physical limitations of traditional camera modules. Combined with advanced AI algorithms that enable intelligent object tracking and various movements with stable shots, the device significantly simplifies video creation and reshapes both the equipment choices and creative habits of modern users. Notably, the Robot Phone will be the first product that features the results of HONOR's strategic technological partnership with ARRI, the world-renowned designer and manufacturer of professional camera technology for cinematic storytelling. From Cannes to Shanghai, the HONOR Robot Phone continues to lead the mobile imaging industry into an entirely new stage of development. Moving forward, HONOR will leverage cutting-edge AI and mobile imaging technologies to unlock new creative possibilities and extend cinematic standards for visual expression from the world of high-end filmmaking to the next generation of content creators.

    • I'll wait for the root cause analysis. Looks like it's HP, Lenova, and certain configurations that are askew, hardly "all of windows." Time will tell.
