mint 21 Vanessa boots only once
I run mint 21 off usb stick done by. Rufus software.
It works for just one boot up only. Configures up here. THEN after I notice on screen; this message goes past. I have on outside text disabled by BIOS' But finally, I get this. unable to launch cinnamon x session cinnnamon x session not found falling back to default session. This is then last of my Mint Distro. Now no normal shutdown. Expert please. |

You can copy & paste logs to pastebin.com or post screen photos. I take it you're trying to install? What's on the usb? What do you expect to happen? |
What do you mean by “configures up here”?
Is this a live system with persistence? Does “only boot once” mean you have to reinstall with rufus? Doesn’t work on a reboot? Doesn’t work after configuring? |

Until you're willing to ask a clear question and provide clear details, there isn't much point in posting, because we can't guess. |
BOOT UP FROM usb
What I mean by configure is, on first boot when it worked I can set up e-mail ok photos ok.
Persistence yes appears ok. Yes, all nice and working. Shut down then works off it goes. Now on the next time on boot up from the usb it's all gone to pieces. Thats when on screen comes what I wrote to forum. It will not then get any further on boot up, blank screen, not even turn off. Thats all I can add. May be this version is a Beta. Thank you all |

How big is the persistence partition? If you re-boot with no persistence will it boot?

The persistence file is about 8Gb NTFS Its only a guess its a BETA. When the screens blank there is not much I can say. It seems like it's only me who has had this 'fault'. |

Simple instructions on how to perform the installation: follow them. https://www.fosslinux.com/60398/crea...ersistence.htm |
what happens if you boot in compatibility mode?

Nothing on screen it does not get any further, thus nothing to select. Thank you. It's not an installation it is on a usb flash drive. I now think that if I installed it to computer, I would not be having this problem. The most sensible thing to do is to let Rufus delete and run Rufus again. |
This is the first time I have had this boot prob with Mint 21. Mint 19 20 ok, get the facts right please
|
Did you check the md5sum of the iso?
So you are not getting a boot menu? Is this a uefi system? |
Yes, it is Mr Purple all done with Rufus.

From your rather cryptic posts, it's difficult to tell if that's your actual problem or if you made some change with the cinnamon desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb |
