Anyone knows how to do such thing, because if you download it in normal way it just formats whole drive.
if anyone knows where to fin the link please tell me
I got a hold of some old mini pcs. one being a nuc 5 and the other a Dell Wyse 5070. i had the idea of using them as steamlinks and was going to install holoiso on them. I believe i have. got all the way to where it says i can reboot system and so i did. now when ever the grub comes up, it becomes a black screen. im pretty confused as to what the issue is.
I’m greeted with this after logging in, what do I do from here?
I need help installing HoloISO on my laptop. The guides on the github and website are pretty vague, and it keeps failing. I need help.
I might sound stupid, but I cant find the lastest stable realease. Could someone help?
hi there!
I have been running holoiso for a while and love it, but there have been some issues that have cropped up and I decided that it was time for a reinstall to the newest version.
I successfully downloaded the latest version, 20240901 (and the previous version, 20240603), but everytime I boot the usb, I get 'Failed to load ldlinux.c32'
I wrote the image with rufus, balena, even ventoy, and it always give the same issue.
Rufus seems to have downloaded, and the logs say that the files for ldlinux.bss and .sys are installed to the drive. I have even tried dropping in the files manually into the drive to get it to work.
When I replace the ldlinux.c32, I do get another error, 'No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found!' with boot: providing some basic terminal possibilities, but no real directive.
For reference, I am not new to the various flavors of Linux, but this one certainly has me stumped.
Has anyone else seen this, or can point to a tutorial for fixing?
Also as my search here didn't provide any hints for ldlinux errors, hopefully this is not some random error...
For posterity: AMD 5700x3d, 64gb ddr4, Radeon 5700xt, WDBlack 1tb NVME OS drive, Patriot 1tb NVME games drive, and Samsung Evo 4tb SATA storage drive, Asus TUF x470-Plus Gaming mobo.
Worked nearly perfectly for the last 18 months, runs great, played almost all my games, looking forward to upgrade and continuing the journey.
So I had an Idea, Is there actually a way that Holoiso would run on ATI Radeon 5400. If there theoretically is a way, how to make something like this?
I have a computer with an intel cpu and a nvidia gpu and I know that holo iso doesn't support it however there is a tweaked version online that claims to. But when I installed it the first time it would constantly reboot so I reinstalled. Now it doesn't even boot and instead gets to where it starts cpu scheduler and doesn't move from there. It isn't crashing because there is a blinking bar at the bottom but it doesn't do anything else. I'm going to try bazzite but any help with this would be appreciated!
Also i cant find the iso
boots to a black screen msi 1080 motherboard
I am trying to install holoiso on my pc, I have run the installer and it said th reboot but after I rebooted it now only shows a menu with uefi boot options, steam os and steam os advanced, after this it is a black screen. Does anyone know what to do?
Ive install holoiso, and I keep running into a black screen on boot. My question is do I need a dedicated GPU or can a integrated GPU work? The CPU I'm using is a intel i7 Coffee Lake 8th Gen. I'm not trying to play anything on it, I'm just wanting it to boot to play around with.
Just got Holo-iso working on my external ssd, but there seems to be no way to make it boot to desktop-mode on startup.
Hi, anyone knows how to bypass this error, says 'pkexec must be setuid root' error 127 right after adding credentials in the initial install.
I keep getting the error that job control is turned off I’ve tried to different usb sticks I’ll attach a photo
Is there any way to install holoiso to just a partition instead of the whole drive? Im very new to linux so im sorry if this seems like a dumb question but holoiso straight up doesnt give me an option to install to just the partition it wants to wipe the whole drive
As the title says. The D-Pad, buttons or analog sticks work, but you have to press them down for a second or two for it to register. Doesn’t happen in Windows. Any suggestions??
So i have the same problem this guy has 2 years ago with his onexplayer: https://www.reddit.com/r/holoiso/comments/z3zo6k/installed_on_onexplayer_with_6800u_and_display_is/
I tried following the solution there but not only are almost none of the lines referenced in the solution in the Gamescope-session file there, trying to save any edits causes an error saying that I dont have write access. I do not even get prompted for the sudo password. Any ideas?
Is this even posible? has anyone tryit before?
Hey guys! I’m new to this stuff! I recently got gifted a Chromebook with holoiso installed on it, it’s really buggy and I was wondering if there was a way to uninstall it off the Chromebook.
hardware: intel i7-4790k amd rx6700xt LG G1 OLED tv
I have had the issue as stated in title for several months now, it seems to only happen to games that support HDR when HDR is enabled in gamemode settings.
There isn't an open issue on the github that expressly addresses this issue, however there is a report that seems related (and may have been caused by the same circumstances without anyone realizing) HERE: https://github.com/HoloISO/issuetracker/issues/47
(regularly encountered error message when HDR is enabled: "Assertion failed! dlls/winevulkan/loader_thunks.c line: 3226 Expression: !status && vkCreateSwapchainKHR") (otherwise the game just crashes immediately after boot with no message)
Does anyone have some insight into this? I really like HoloISO for how close it is in experience, and under the hood, to SteamOS. I would really like to be able to play my games in HDR though. Don't really want to distro hop to something else if i can help it. Hope it can be, or gets, fixed
So, i really want to install SteamOS on my device, i like the UI very much and it seems a lot faster than the Big Picture one. I booted the pendrive and now i'm trying to install it without wiping my whole Hard Drive. Does someone know how to do it?
I don't know why it is black screening after I install holoiso. It is an upgraded hp workstation z220, I have only changed the cpu (an i5 2400), ram (12gb ddr3)and the HDD(1tb) can anyone tell me why it is staying on a black screen?
I already selected EFI but when it gets installed, It doesn't boot, just a black screen, HoloISO 1.3
So I installed holoiso 1.3 from desktop , after this I got popup that says I need to reboot. So I rebooted my pc, but I got into bios and there were no boot options What should I do?
