Title: 6.7 & 7.2 wont install to USB due to missing vfat support, no insmod ?
Post by: galen on December 23, 2023, 09:35:39 PM
just tried to install 6.7 & then 7.2 (via Ventoy) to an USB stick, could not resize USB fat32 partition

does sparky not include msdos vfat fat32 support when booting from Ventoy?
or missing from ISO build?

I use Etcher and have never had a problem with a fat32 formatted USB drive to write Sparky or any Linux OS to it.
Are you using Linux or Windows to write the OS to the USB drive?

Also why are you trying to resize the partition? That should get done automatically.

Check if os-prober is disabled be default. That has been done as a security measure.

Add/edit the following line to your /etc/default/grub file, then run update-grub.

 
Change:

GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true

to:

 GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false

then update grub.
