Olá a todos, sou novo no Linux e migrei do Ubuntu, nessa migração fiz a instalação da ISO do fedora 41 no meu pen-drive, quando faço a verificação para saber se está tudo certo aparece um erro em 57.1% dizendo que não é recomendado usar essa mídia, já quando faço a instalação direta e reinicio meu notebook para logar, todos os APPS simplesmente desaparecem, não só isso como quase nada funciona, apenas a central de atividades que por sinal funciona só o wi-fi, brilho e som, e que até para fazer o desligamento tem que ser forçado. Por me ajudem😢
Desde já agradeço.
Hello everyone, I am new to Linux and migrated from Ubuntu. During this migration, I installed the ISO of Fedora 41 on my pen drive. When I verify to see if everything is okay, an error appears at 57.1% saying that it is not recommended to use this media. However, when I do the direct installation and restart my notebook to log in, all the apps simply disappear, and almost nothing works. Only the activity center works, but only Wi-Fi, brightness, and sound, and even to shut down, it has to be forced. Please help me .
Thank you in advance.
For a recent Fedora 41 install I used the small network installer and then added a (KDE) gui. This avoids installing a bunch of packages that will be updated right away.
How did you perform this. I assume this error appears during the verification of the image during boot.
My procedure is to
download the ISO
download the CHECKSUM file then verify the iso is valid with sha256sum
write the ISO to the usb device (using dd or mediawriter)
boot the usb device (and NEVER using the option to check the iso while booting)
install the OS
I also do not use any windows machine for this procedure.
Installing after receiving the error message should not have happened. It was almost 100% certain to have a failed installation.
I suggest you download the ISO again and follow the steps I gave for the installation
One additional note where I have often seen failures crop up.
By default linux systems tend to automatically mount a usb device when it is plugged in. If that device is mounted when the ISO image is being written to the device it has resulted in 100% failure of the image for me. – Make certain no partitions on the usb device are mounted before attempting to write the image to the device.
Thank you very much for the tips from all of you . I will try one solution if the other doesn’t work. I will wait for my internet connection to improve to make the installations and then come back here to say if the problem is solved. Again, I am grateful for the help .
This makes me believe that the pen drive is too old or just faulty. I would suggest that you get a new one size 4 Gig or so, and only use it for linux install purposes. It can be handy if you some day need to use a live system to recover some errors.
Ventoy “works for me” to install Fedora 41 Server. The download page has instructions to verify the downloaded file – did you verify that the download is not corrupted?
Hello, I’m here again. So, I did all the installation for another pen drive in the same way I had done on the other one using Ventoy, but this time it worked perfectly. I’m very happily using Fedora. Well, I couldn’t do the installation using Fedora’s own software due to some memory issue; whenever I tried to install on the pen drive, the process failed saying there was no space in the download directory. I believe this happened due to some partitioning error from the corrupted file. But anyway, everything worked out fine, thank you very much for your help and cooperation "
What do you mean with the “Fedora’s own software” ? To create the boot-usb-stick with the Fedora-Media-Writer as proposed above? If yes did you try it on Windows and/or Ubuntu when you got the error?
That’s right, it was with Fedora Media Writer. On my first attempt to install Fedora, I used Ventoy, which resulted in an error message saying it wasn’t recommended to use this media. After that, I tried using Fedora Media Writer native to the system that was already installed and that you had recommended, which resulted in the error I mentioned about no space in the download directory. As far as I remember, all directories had only 600 megabytes of available memory, even though my PC has 1 terabyte of memory. After several failed attempts, I decided to try Ventoy again the same way I did the first time, and it worked. The boot system was successful, and I was able to complete the entire installation.
This is indeed a problem. 600mb is not enough do download the iso and create a pendrive. The Workstation iso has 2.3 GiB. This way you got the error message for your download directory.
You probably just should have selected the existing iso, while you probably tried to download a new iso within the media-writer.
I’m happy you made it in the end. This proves that the ISO was corrupted on the first attempt.
It also shows that the iso test while booting makes sense.
I marked your last answer as the solution. So newer users understand better what you made.
There are 2 different factors here.
RAM is called memory
Drive space is called by several names including drive space, free space, storage, and similar.
Please try to use terminology that is standard for the items being discussed to avoid confusion and potentially misleading suggestions.
Yes, it is always important to have adequate free space in a file system to allow downloaded files to fit.
Ah, just one more detail: When I had to redo the ISO installation with Ventoy, I had to transfer the ISO file directly from my phone to the Ventoy folder, since all directories only had 600 megabytes of memory. So, I downloaded Ventoy, opened it, made it turn my pen drive into a bootable pen drive, downloaded the ISO on my phone, and transferred the ISO directly from my phone to the pen drive without going through any other directory as it would give the error of not having enough memory space. Well, if anyone wants to do the same, they can use another pen drive with the ISO or a memory card (which should be in good condition and reliable) instead of the phone.
