I have a new Lenovo ideapad1 AMD Ryzen 5 5500U with 8GB RAM and 1TB SSD. I have disabled secure boot and wifi in the BIOS. I have successfully flashed the startos-0.3.5.1-39de098_x86_64.iso to a USB drive using Balena Etcher and tried to install this on the ideapad1 but it fails and gives me an error. The install processes speeds by so quickly I can’t tell what is going on/wrong. And when it fails at the end, it has a message that says:
Log File: “/home/kiosk/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log”, Time: Wed Apr 16 etc…
Using system config directory “/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d”
.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log" for additional information. (EE) (EE) Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file.
I’m a pretty low-level computer user - not a software developer or coder. I don’t know what any of this means or how to find this log file at all. Can someone please help?
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly! So I tried to do this with the non-free image ( [startos-0.3.5.1-39de098_x86_64-nonfree.iso) and it did get further than it did with the other version, but it still failed on installation. At least this time it took me to a StartOS Diagnostic Mode screen where it says “network error” and “could not detect ethernet interface”. I’ve attached a picture of the log file.
This laptop only has a wifi card - it has no ethernet card or port to connect it directly to a router via ethernet cable. I have tried to install this both with the wifi enabled in the BIOS and with it disabled, and it gives me the same errors. I have secure boot disabled.
Appreciate any additional guidance you can provide!
Thanks!
Most likely, a network interface driver is missing. If you have a USB-to-Ethernet adapter, connect it before starting the installation. This often bypasses driver issues with built-in network ports and can help ensure a stable connection during setup.
finally got Bitcoin Knots running, along with Electrs. Everything seems to be working great EXCEPT - mempool 3.2.1~1. It installs fine and passes all the health checks (API, Transaction Indexer, Web Interface). However when I go to Launch the UI, it tells me the DNS address could not be found. The address is something like
“wei9ofijnsdkjnhwfe876w98aiuhfinsdfiuen.local” (just an example).
I’m running Brave browser and have tried this on Chrome and it doesn’t work there either. The very strange thing is that when I load it from my android phone (also running brave browser) connected via wifi to the same network, it loads just fine. Any idea why I can’t get it working on a desktop computer connected to the same interface and also running Brave?
Most likely, your mDNS resolution isn’t working properly on your computer. The fix depends on what system you’re using. If you’re on Windows, you probably need to uninstall and reinstall Bonjour. If you’re on Linux, checking the Avahi daemon would be a good place to start. Let me know if this helps you move forward.
