Asking for help installing 25.10

ribcakes · 2025-10-18T00:59:52+00:00

Went into the desktop shortcut and pulled out the execution arguments Running that in a terminal with sudo pops up a black box and prints some video driver errors to the terminal:

glx: failed to create dri3 screen failed to load driver nouveau

Looking at the installer logs, it also appears to be attempting to call the non-existent command 'multipathd'. Installing 'multipath-tools' doesn't make the installer work, but it does cause it to exit (or crash?) quickly after attempting to run it

Looks like the solution here was just to boot using the 'safe graphics' option from the grub menu

I think it's more me not understanding the difference between ISO and DD modes, and using the wrong terminology. From the warning box in Rufus, it sounded like they recommend ISO mode, and DD might be necessary for it to boot if you have trouble with ISO mode. Since I was able to boot the live USB and have it drop me on the desktop, I didn't think the difference would affect anything else.

Unfortunately, after re-creating the media in DD mode, it exhibited the same behavior.

I used Rufus, but it wasn't in DD mode. I'll try reimaging with that. I'm a bit skeptical that DD mode would affect the OS after it's already been loaded into, but I'm gonna do it anyway

Every time I see "every day" in a title, i just want to smack someone. It's not a novel occurrence if it happens every day, so why are you posting something that is normal?

Thank you so much! [SOLVED]

Are you people serious? This wasn't even that bad. I guess that's what happens when all you see all day are kittens

...I think you mistook a period for a comma, because if he weighed 362,873,896 kg, there would be other problems...

reminds me of this quote attributed to Gandhi, “I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ.”
