thx for the report this sounds like something specific to your hardware then.. the stable one is tested and works well on several hardware and virtualization platforms but ofc I cannot test every piece of hardware out there. glad it works for you with a nightly though!

Well sdcards are NOT supported sorry. USB is the only supported way..

hello! this is a very strange usecase but it is certainly one that i wish to get help with:

essentially i own a steam deck and am trying to run mAid on it—it boots fine (as well as my steamOS arch and windows installs on the deck), but i'm unable to input the password to log in correctly, because i do not own a USB keyboard (only bluetooth). the deck is my only PC, and as such the only thing i'm able to run mAid on. is there any way for me to get around this, or for an onscreen keyboard to be added? (apologies for the specificness of this)

thank you!

ah well yea I see. Will look into it. I think it should be possible to include a virtual keyboard here.

try latest 4.1

 

[noidodroid]

Cool to see 4.1 done. I will definitely give it a run and test it out.

As cheap as storage is today, has anyone installed this on perhaps a spare 500 GB or less SSD? I have native Linux, but just wondering.

if that counts: I have tested a 512 GB USB stick well its not 100% identical as an external ssd disk but it should work just fine. only thing you need to take really care of is to select the right disk in the installer and to select flashing the bootloader to that disk as well. check out the docs if you like trying it: https://code.binbash.rocks:8443/mAid/build/wiki/mAid-on-USB

Finally got around to installing this fine distro on a USB stick. Original plan was an external USB drive, but the Samsung USB stick I have is fast enough and 64GB is plenty of room with access to my "COMMON" Windows/Linux disk where I keep my phone stuff. I simply booted the USB live stick and installed it on the target USB. Only thing I needed to do was install gparted in the LIVE session to verify I was writing to the correct drive and resetting the partition table on it to GPT. Nice work - thank you!

great, lubuntu is your choice then. reporting issues like that does not help without screens, pics, error codes etc. it works fine in all the test scenarios and if you have an issue and you really want to have it solved (does not sound like) then you should provide more details including what you are trying to do and how etc. otherwise have fun with any other distro there are thousands out there.. none like mAid ofc

Hi people,
Sorry about my poor language in english but a portuguese from France.....
So I have a real problem because I never succed to install mAid from a USB key on my hard drive.
mAid is cooked from a manjaro distrib so I tried to install Manjar, 2 times without success, but at least it works.
So now Iwould like to know, if I do not bored you, how could I transform my Manjaro install in a mAid install?

I make a lot of research but it's like Google (who is more less your friend than before) do not understand anything. Always pointing on things with no connexions with my requests.
A big thanks if somebody can help me.

Edit:
At least I find what I was looking for.... the solution came from

Hi people, sorry about my needs of help but after have found the link a found before (https://gitlab.com/steadfasterX/build_maid) but this did not resolve my problems with mAid v4.1 installation.
So is somebody here who could be ready to answer me? If it is I can post here all the log from mAid v4.1 installation Fail.
And I have tried with mAid v4.0 and FWUL 3.2, but always the same the installation never is validated...!

And now I am looking if someone site could get me a solution
"https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/In...eplacing_the_existing_system_without_a_LiveCD'
I will try from mAid live-usb and from my installation of Manjaro....

Thanks in advance
