452: out of range pointer

As a Linux newbie, I'm struggling to parse the jargon. Can someone explain in plain english why I can't boot into the installer, please?

Assume I'm either 50 or 5. I'm ok with either.

I've managed to install Fedora 40. It still futzes out if I ask it to "adjust for TV", since it's a home theatre PC, can I update from Fedora to Bazzite?

mk•6/8/24, 6:31 AM

from fedora kinoite to bazzite yes it's possible

mk•6/8/24, 6:32 AM

using rpm-ostree rebase

AesoniqueOP•6/8/24, 7:23 AM

I got the ISO from the Fedora site, it just said it's version 40. Is that kinoite? Do I just drop "rpm-ostree rebase" into terminal?

mk•6/8/24, 7:32 AM

you can get kinoite .iso from here https://fedoraproject.org/atomic-desktops/kinoite/ (and then rebase to bazzite)

mk•6/8/24, 7:32 AM

or just get bazzite .iso from here https://bazzite.gg/ directly

AesoniqueOP•6/8/24, 7:33 AM

I tried the Bazzite iso on a thumb drive, that's where I get the 452 error and decided to try a pure Fedora

AesoniqueOP•6/8/24, 7:34 AM

Am I going to need to do a full reinstall?

mk•6/8/24, 7:34 AM

is this on the steam deck oled?

AesoniqueOP•6/8/24, 7:35 AM

No, just a standard desktop hooked to a TV as a home theatre PC

AesoniqueOP•6/8/24, 7:35 AM

I'm testing it here first before trying the ROG Ally

mk•6/8/24, 7:35 AM

if you installed a default fedora distribution, yes, you need to install either kinoite or bazzite again

AesoniqueOP•6/8/24, 7:36 AM

Bugger. Happy to redo kinoite, but I can't get Bazzite to work

mk•6/8/24, 7:36 AM

look up here the rpm-ostree rebase commands

mk•6/8/24, 7:36 AM

https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/

mk•6/8/24, 7:37 AM

most basic one is

mk•6/8/24, 7:37 AM

for a desktop with nvidia graphics

AesoniqueOP•6/8/24, 7:37 AM

Cheers, I'll give them a read. I'm still a very basic Linux user, I'm just tired of Microsoft giving us the shaft

mk•6/8/24, 7:38 AM

no problem

mk•6/8/24, 7:39 AM

if you wanna get the gamemode (gamescope session) just like the steam deck:

mk•6/8/24, 7:39 AM

but this one is only for non-nvidia graphics

AesoniqueOP•6/8/24, 7:39 AM

Awesome. The desktop is NVIDIA, but the Ally is AMD

AesoniqueOP•6/8/24, 7:43 AM

I'm leaving this "not solved" at this time, until I get Bazzite working. Downloading the latest kinoite iso right now.

mk•6/8/24, 7:44 AM

no problem just ask anything

AesoniqueOP•6/8/24, 7:50 AM

Just so you're not hanging about, I'm on a satellite connection. This is coming down at 400k/s. Yes, kilo. It might be tomorrow before I can update.

mk•6/8/24, 7:50 AM

it takes a lot to rebase

mk•6/8/24, 7:51 AM

around 3GB because it downloads the whole OCI image

AesoniqueOP•6/12/24, 2:18 AM

Marking as closed, I cannot get any ostree distro to install on this machine. Ubuntu works fine, so I'll stick with that for now.
