"Updated" Senpai Respin only LXDE/Openbox MX 23.6 for 32 and 64 bits

[Eadwine Rose]

Did you install from a snapshot taken earlier, back in 2023? Then there you go.

If this is not a “live session” then this:

Code: Select all

Partition:
  Message: No partition data found.
   

could indicate that your SSD needs to be replaced. If it is a “live session”, you will need to replace the USB stick.

[Senpai]

I have a Dell E6530 laptop that I use for testing. I decided to give your respin a go. I used a known good USB thumbdrive. Booted fine and after looking around a bit, I started the install. It passed the media test and seemed to be installing just fine. Then it reached the point of setting the configuration. It's stopped at "93% - Setting system configuration" Still setting there with no HDD activity after 20 minutes.

I really doubt it has anything to do with my hardware but here's my system That first line seems odd:

Hi:
Here, it seems to indicate a hardware problem

Code: Select all

SMART Message: Unknown USB bridge. Flash drive/Unsupported enclosure?
Partition:
  Message: No partition data found.

Try changing USB, it seems that it is not compatible,
Did you check the sha512 sum?, in case you downloaded the ISO wrong
What did you create it with?, do it with “MX-live-usb-maker”, BalenaEcher or even Ventoy, they are fine....

I just tried it on an old Acer 5715Z, and it installs without problems from Ventoy...

I have checked the checksums from the web and my local ISO and they are correct,

Best regards

Did you install from a snapshot taken earlier, back in 2023? Then there you go.

Hi:
The data this:

Code: Select all

Snapshot created on: 20231025_1318

It refers to when my installation was created, since it is an installation that I have kept updated since 23.2 and now I created a new ISO, for new installations, as the one who has already installed Respin does not need to install it again to move to 23.3.

Best regards

@Senpai

Yes, I the checked the sha512. first try was with BalenaEtcher, second try was a a new download with MX-live-usb-maker. Same ending with both ISOs and USB creations.

It's a relatively new SSD, Patriot P210 128GB. I'll change the SSD and give it another go.

Thanks everyone for your input.

OK, I'm here with the Senpai Respin. Running great.

The hard drive checked good. I used the smartctl utility. Then I deleted the partitions and left it unallocated. I formatted the USB and used mx-live-usb-maker. Booted the usb and the install completed and rebooted fine.

I'm not sure why the first 2 tries didn't work. But, they say the third time is the charm.

OK, I'm here with the Senpai Respin. Running great.

The hard drive checked good. I used the smartctl utility. Then I deleted the partitions and left it unallocated. I formatted the USB and used mx-live-usb-maker. Booted the usb and the install completed and rebooted fine.

I'm not sure why the first 2 tries didn't work. But, they say the third time is the charm.

I'm glad , you should never give up.... Each PC is a world and there are many variables....

Best regards

[Germ]

Thanks. I usually don't give up and I'm glad I didn't. Nice Respin!
