…or is it that Ventoy does not support KDE-Linux? Either way you get strange results when attempting to boot KDE-Linux via Ventoy.

 ![IMG_20260808_204420_132](https://discuss-cdn.kde.org/uploads/default/original/3X/f/7/f7a3189343cc5d8be6ff1a9e9469ee9ae101f918.jpeg)

I saw that KDE-Linux finally ships as a standard ISO format instead of a RAW file, and thus it should theoretically work with Ventoy. But it does this instead. How odd. The writing it to a USB the normal way works fine, which is good. If the system could boot, it would be interesting to see what the logs say. What about Ventoy caused it to hang like this.

It would be convenient if this worked, but like, its still an Alpha so ya know. It’s what it’s. That’s why I posted this here instead of in the help tab.

Yeah I forgot about that. Still interesting to see what it does tho. I assumed that was mostly due to the format is used to ship with being weird.

I was going to say that Fedora Atomic works just fine with Ventoy, however that’s just an offline installer, not a Live CD, same with openSUSE Kalpa. I guess atomic live CDs work fundamentally differently enough to have strange issues. Interesting.

they seem they started working on this issue

It is Ventoy that does not support KDE Linux, not the other way around. Ventoy is badly engineered, kindly put, and doesn’t understand how to deal with gpt-auto-root, etc., and instead injects pointless things into the initrd. It’s also not likely to ever be supported since upstream can’t develop software properly, like setting up a proper build system or generating a new MOK on every install to prevent attackers from bypassing Secure Boot on all machines that have enrolled the Ventoy MOK. Also, being a hybrid image means extra steps to get a loop device with proper GPT support working, etc.

TL;DR: Just burn the disk image onto a USB.

I’ve never ran into this issue with any live CD ISO file with Ventoy. Maybe the issue is with the way the KDE Linux developers setup their ISO, not Ventoy itself. I’ll give it a shot and see if I run into the same issue you ran into. I’ve used Ventoy since it came out several years ago without encountering any issues. Considering they’ve designed their product to work with hundreds of different ISOs/live CDs (MacOS, Linux, BSD, Windows, even BeOS) it’s pretty darn good.

I’ve def had some weird experiences with it in the past, but for the most part it does what it says on the tin. Not perfect tho by any means.

No, it’s not. Ventoy doesn’t support gpt-auto-root, which we use for booting our images. This is entirely a bug in Ventoy — it just doesn’t support a more complex and more modern boot process. Getting Ventoy to work with it is too much effort for something we can’t support or recommend in good conscience.

i suggest you open a bug report on ventoy github and see if they are willing to support it

I’m just burning it to a USB in the future, its easier, more reliable, and makes the most sense. Ventoy is neat for many things but can cause some weird problems.

Bonsoir.

Ventoy prend en charge les fichiers iso qui stockent le contenu d’une partition.

Manifestement, il n’a pas prévu la présence de trois partitions.

Si tu as entendu parler de ubuntu, lui non plus ne sait pas traiter nativement un tel fichier. Il est nécesaire d’ajouter un logiciel ( kpartx ) pour y accéder.

Si tu souhaites voir où cela coince, je te suggère de modifier la commande de démarrage pour supprimer les options **quiet splash** et de passer au niveau 7 le **loglevel**

Attention, tu devras alors déactiver le secure boot pour réaliser cette modification.

Mon avis est que systemd-boot n’a pas prévu de booter depuis un fichier hébergeant des partitions..
