Need a little help pro version won’t activate

[Jason Garlow]

Good morning, I love this distro it was a lot of fun to play with in live and a VM. Both versions of those were fully functional minus the pro version of course. So I decided to install the free version on baremetal and purchase the pro version. I did this last night and I followed the steps to activate it and I also downloaded the iso version just in case I needed to reinstall the pro version. upon reboot I noted that the pro version was not unlocked despite opening the upgrade .deb and it showing it is unlocked. So then I decided to use the iso I downloaded from the purchase successful page. I used etcher as I always do to burn it to usb and when I tried to run from usb I get grub with advanced and makulu options, however, when you click on the makulu you get the error no kernal is loaded. I also noticed the iso I downloaded for the pro was only 980MB.

As you can see I installed it a few times and checked to display manager page to see if it was unlocked and they all showed locked.

 

My second issue and less pressing one is on the core desktop the pie menu will not function. It did function while using on the usb though. When I look at the log at the time of attempting to open the pie menu I get this “Aug 11 09:54:31 makulu-shift systemd[3090]: Started Application launched by gnome-shell.
Aug 11 09:54:31 makulu-shift systemd[3090]: gnome-launched-Pie-Menu.desktop-84567.scope: Succeeded.”

you are meant to reboot after you install the activation deb. it says to do so in the readme file 🙂

I did read the readme and I did reboot. The readme specifically said to reboot after install and I did. When that didnt work someone in discord suggested I update then reboot. I attempted that also. So then I started over from scratch removed the .deb and repeated the same steps it told me to do.

The rhythm of the music often dictates the pace of the level, requiring players to synchronize their movements with the beat to navigate successfully.
