I’m currently running Ubuntu Bionic on my Asus Zenbook and no matter what I do, I can’t make a liveusb of PureOS; I’ve used Etcher (as suggested in the installation directions), dd from cli, and unetbootin. I can make a liveusb of any other distro and run it fine, but whenever I try and put PureOS on the usb, it’s not even recognized by my laptop.
Eh?
EDIT
When using gmrl-rescueboot, I’m greeted with “error: file `/vmlinuz-4.16.0-1-amd64’ not found.”
Hmm, ok. I was wondering if it was some sort of SecureBoot/UEFI problem, but if Debian and Fedora work, then it seems unlikely. I don’t think I can offer much help, then.
Hopefully someone else in the forums or Purism support will know more.
I saw that link, but thought it didn’t apply… turns out I only thought I had secure boot disabled; Asus’s BIOS calls it CMS and CMS must be enabled for secure boot to be disabled. Completely logical.
