I saw another guy on her with the EXACT same problem.then I signed up and couldn’t find him again… the os won’t boot from the thumb drive…it errors out .im using the beelink s13 MINI-S with a sandisk extream m.2 nvme 2tb expansion ssd. I even tried to flash to that…but no go
Your screenshot shows the OS booting up, but then failing to load a GUI interface because you’re on GUI hardware with an unsupported graphics card that there’s no driver for.
To get around this, you should be able to unplug the monitor and use the server headless, as per these guides: Start9 | StartOS (x86/ARM)
Also make sure you’re using the “non-free” ISO, it might have the drivers you’re needing in case you do ever need to hook up a monitor.
I’m having the same issue installing onto Beelink EV14. Hoping someone can provide a solution…
Thank you
I’m not seeing any instructions about a “headless server” in the link provided. Can you elaborate? I appreciate the help
- Disconnect the monitor, keyboard and mouse.
- Insert the USB thumb drive and power on.
- Visit http://start.local in your browser on a client device.
You’ll then continue from: Start9 | Start Fresh
I have to at least enter the bootloader with keyboard and monitor…I boot from my usb.click enter and unplug monitor and keyboard quickly…give it 5 mins and still no active device on my home LAN infact it appears offline witch is expected but a new device named “start” should be on my network with a fresh ip address. Not the case. I got to start.local. and I get unable to load. Check address. Thanks for any help. I appreciate ur time
Do you have the option to change the boot order so that it will always boot from a USB first? This is always a good idea to do.
Have you made sure you’re using the non-free ISO?
I’d bet, even though you pulled the HDMI cable out, if you were to plug it back in after waiting a while, you’ll see the same X11 error, meaning the… “pull out method” didn’t work.
