Facing error while installing Op on ubuntu 22.04

I am a too beginner for this solution

post a link to the Debian image you used for the flash drive, and I'll try to create the openwrt image for you, but it won't be today.

https://www.finnix.org/releases/125/finnix-125.iso

Tomorrow?

the Finnix grub2 was complaining even with the stock OS intact, on a laptop with secure boot enabled.

anyway, here's the Finnix grub2 with Openwrt installed - https://1fichier.com/?wd30mzh8e3ddcq9pl0ur
sha256 - 0801fb6edb9646d6489b56ec5f8f95074d5134861e7e655b1a9d98633633a031

it boots using isolinux on a legacy boot enabled system, and at least starts grub2 on one with secure boot enabled, but I can't guarantee it'll actually work on your HP laptop.

it's a 8GB SD card image, just dd it to whatever => 8GB device, and try to boot.

the /boot (/dev/sd?1) is 512MB big, this is because fatresize said it'd have to change the filesystem, if it was made smaller, and I didn't want to find out if it would still work afterwards :wink:

Yesterday I tried same steps using a 1tB hard drive, still facing the same problem. Op is not booting.

the media isn't the issue here

Thank you for your help. I will try this and update you. The main problem is legacy mood is not enabling in my HP laptop. i think I should try on another system with legacy mode on.

then what is the problem.

secure boot / legacy boot.
could also be a BIOS bug.

I think it's a very good idea.

anyway, here's the Finnix grub2 with Openwrt installed - https://1fichier.com/?wd30mzh8e3ddcq9pl0ur

yes, they are.

Thank you for your help.

Can i install Op on a dual boot PC? I have one system with windows and Ubuntu installed on it.

no, this will overwrite the partition table and boot loader.

try a flash drive again

If I understand right, I can make a bootable usb of openwrt and connect it whenever I need. Not need to install it on a dedicate system?
correct me if I am wrong.

you can install it on some removable media, yes.

It worked. Thanks for help.
Also i want to know can port mirroring is possible using OPwrt

what part ?
the image, or did you end up installing on a different host ?

check out Firewall4 and Tee

The problem was with my machine not with the image. I used other machine and kept legacy boot enabled and followed the same steps and it worked. I made a bootable usb of openwrt.

I will check thanks
