Faulty image or does it only work for x86 systems? about umbrel HOT 17 OPEN

Thanks, @JulianTV123 I also gave up using Umbrel. I just installed Start9OS, and it was super easy and smooth with the same steps.

Hmm... weird... What tool did you use to flash the drive? (Also, x86 is the name of the CPU's instruction set and x64 means it's 64 bit, so there is x86 and x86_64. This image probably only works on x86_64)

I have tried with balena and rufus from windows, and the computer where I am trying to install has an intel x64 cpu, I also tried to install in a virtual machine directly with the image but it does not work either.

Strange... either balena messed up the image or luke messed something up. Try using the installer from https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel/releases/tag/1.1.1

It does not work either, I tried with the compressed and decompressed file, and the image that comes out when decompressing if I try to open it Windows throws error “The disk image file is corrupted”

and when I try to open the flashed usb, I get the error “The volume does not contain a recognized file system”

If you're using windows, that's normal. The images uses ext4 as it's filesystem, which windows does not recognize. Try booting

I'm having a similar issue - writing from Etcher in Mac

It doesn't work, I even created an ubuntu virtual machine to flash the usb from there and see if the windows flashing was wrong, but it still won't boot from the usb.

Try using dd if=<imgfile> of=/dev/<drive> status=progress in your Ubuntu VM. I have used this to flash my Umbrel imstaller.

There is also a possibility that your drive is faulty.

The same thing keeps happening, I have also tried to disable the hard disks of the computer to give more priority to boot by usb but it still does not work, it throws me the message that it does not find any system to boot.
Thank you very much for your help, but I think I'm going to install StartOS and not keep wasting time with Umbrel, as I urgently need a working Bitcoin node.

Same here I install the image into a USB and boot VM, and it just stays “Booting form Hard Disk…” it seems that the image that was created is damaged. If I try another image it works perfect.

In ticket #1818 it looks like someone found a solution for the virtual machines, I didn't try it as I gave up using Umbrel until I see if they ever fix the image or create an ISO image, but I hope it works for you.
