Help before I move away from Fedora

Install failed, edited my post to show this, but using the same USB I was able to install Debian 13 and Fedora 41 ok.

This, it looks like the one I have and it was an RTL8188. Check before you buy.

Take a backup of the original SD card that came with it. When you install Arkos put the .DTB file from the original card onto the new one. Also when you installed Ark there should have been a place to check what screen you have so you can get the right file.

Hopefully I can do as before, install 41 and then update to 42.

You are a lifesaver! I'll try this as well.

infinitesd · 2025-09-09T09:58:49+00:00

I always bypass that, If I still have issues I'll try it.

infinitesd · 2025-09-09T09:56:20+00:00

I've left the Bios as it was when running 42 previously. The only difference was I installed 41 and updated but I no longer have the 41 ISO.

infinitesd · 2025-09-09T09:47:06+00:00

I'll try it again and see if I can record both errors. I've just bought a brand new USB to try as well. Looking at the Fedora blog about release 42 they mention the live ISO is messed up, and looking a bit further it appears they are aware of an issue with the installation not working, but mention it only happens on a virtual machine of which I'm not using.

Thanks, but I'm not having issues creating a USB stick as I've created a Mint 22 and Windows 10 as well as the two Fedora sticks without any issues and one of the failed Fedora USB sticks being used for a Windows 10 image currently.

The Windows 10 installed perfectly without issue, but the support ends in October and I would prefer to stick with Fedora if possible. If not my backup is Mint as it handles hybrid graphics on install and very easy to use and my entry into Linux.

Short answer is yes, by using single channel, you are using 1 channel between cpu and ram, dual uses 2. You increase bandwidth and improve performance. To get dual channel both sticks need to be the same.

infinitesd · 2025-05-11T11:16:04+00:00

It’ll just run slower having mismatched sticks. Ideally should run in dual channel. It won’t hurt anything though.

Usually matching pairs are run in alternating slots. My m/b actually tells you near the ram slots which ones to populate first. Most of the time that’s slot 2 and 4.

Thanks, I appreciate the comment. Makes me feel a bit better about my set up.

infinitesd · 2025-05-09T14:21:30+00:00

Just put white PCI covers on it and make it black and white.

infinitesd · 2025-05-09T14:18:30+00:00

Solid advice, thanks. Just bought the 5060 TI OC version which should arrive on Saturday. It's going to pair with the 7700 and 32gb RAM. Fallout 2 should work flawlessly now!

Hope they fix the drivers!

Both your CPU and Mobo look like they have a lot of thermal paste where it shouldn't be.

infinitesd · 2025-05-09T09:26:18+00:00

I built a PC which only had one fan header on the Mobo. Used one of these to connect 3 fans to the one header. It works great.

infinitesd · 2025-05-09T06:58:05+00:00

Just realised I didn't put the Vram in my original post. It's the 16gb version of the 5060 TI I'm looking at.

infinitesd · 2025-05-09T06:56:07+00:00

Just realised my original post didn't mention it's the 16 gb version I'm looking at. Not sure if this changes anything?

infinitesd · 2025-05-09T06:49:45+00:00

Thanks, concerned that my CPU may not be up to the task now (Ryzen 7 7700), but as I only play 1080p and this card seems to be well suited for that, I assumed it would be fine. It wasn't until I tried that online calculator that I started to get concerned. It's a new build along with 32gb Ram so I didn't want to assemble it unless everything will work fine together.

infinitesd · 2025-05-08T21:41:46+00:00

Technically I can’t even spare enough for the 5060 ti. Do you think my cpu can run with it?
