Already tried that.
It's definitely trying to boot off the USB. There's nothing else for it to boot from.

Are you booted off the USB?
No. I plugged it into my current laptop that already has Linux Mint installed.
If it still comes up read-only trying searching some solutions for mounting in read/write. You might have to recreate the ISO USB and edit the files before first booting off it. Maybe there is a resize script to use the full disk on first boot that does some funky stuff or something.
Thanks. I'll look into it. ... edit: not having much luck so far.
Umm... thank you, but I'm not sure you understood my issue.
If there isn’t anything of value you could just reinstall
use a valid live cd
I ... can't.
I don't have any data that needs backing up. It's a new computer. I'm trying to install, but I can't boot off the live media.
Thank you.
This looks very promising. It doesn't seem to let me write to my live usb though. It just says "Read-only file system" (even when using sudo).
Thanks.
I've updated my post to add a transcription to the body.
hit whatever key is needed to bring up the boot drive selection menu to pick the installer USB.
It's already the only option there. I just got the same error.
I'm pretty sure the issue is with secure boot.
Sorry. The hosting site may have reduced the quality. I've added a transcription to the post.
It seems unlikely that downgrading to 32 bit would substantially change anything. I think it means to downgrade specifically if you want to report a bug. I don’t often use Lutris though, so I’m not sure.
Maybe you need to update your package manager?
Often, I loop some music such that it becomes slightly annoying for me, and tell myself that I can’t turn it off until I do the task. I’ve heard of something called “Autistic Inertia”, which states that we have a lot of difficulty starting to do something, but can easily keep doing it once we started.
Another thing I sometimes do is set micro deadlines. Eg: If I finish getting ready before 8:30, I can have a short break, otherwise I go directly to the next task which I must complete by 9:30. (Though I might adjust the time if I am running behind)
Something I remember hearing is “Don’t wait to be motivated to do stuff, or you won’t get anything done.”
Edit: Added some YouTube links for some videos I remembered. Not sure if they’re the best references, but I guess they should be helpful.
Yes.
I don’t have a desktop pc, so before I got my Steam Deck, I was using my laptop for pc gaming.
I had the same question; it’s nice to find out the answer. … if I ever play again, I was probably going to start a new save file anyway.
I don’t think I even got entirely through act one.
This looks like a job for my unseen servant (or phantasmal minion for people who play the Pathfinder Remaster)!
This worked!!
Back into my live environment now.
I'll update my post once I've checked that there are no further problems.
