Hi everyone, I’m new to manjaro (and linux in general) and i would like to install it, but I’m struggling on it.
I recently bougth a laptop in which i wanted to make a dual boot. I installed windows, made a partition for linux, booted manjaro on an USB and boot it. Once I’ve opened the installer, it starts loading and always freezes after 32 seconds. stating Waiting for 2 module(s), 32 second(s)
I’ve tried with Manjaro Gnome and i3wm. furthermore i tried ubuntu and also froze.
I tried to install it on another device and I succed, so i guess that neither the ISO nor the pen drive is the problem.
I have an Acer Aspire 3 A315-23-R9BD
Hi,
open the installer in debug mode and you will see where it hangs and which modules:
sudo calmares --debug
Please post the output here.
Thanks
Hi, again.
after the 32 seconds the entire system freezes, and i cant do anything, neither the mouse nor the keyboard respond, so it’s dificult (if I’m not missing anything, impossible) to post the output, due to the fact that i cant do anyting but to shut down the laptop.
Without log, i can’t say anything… beside this, Acer has a really bad support for Linux.
In general you should be able to switch to another TTY with CTRL + ALT + F3 ?
Maybe try the Architect Version?
hi, when 5 sec have passed, the log says:
void Calamares::requirementsChecker::reportProgress()
Remaining modules: 2
"partition"
"welcome"
And repeats until it freezes.
before that, it is stated:
Calamares::RequirementsList GeneralRequirements::checkRequirements()
Need at least storage bytes: 8482560409
void Calamares::RequirementsChecker::addCheckedRequiements(Calamares::Module*)
Got 0 requirements from "users"
KeyboardPage::onListVariantCurrentItemChanged(QListWidgetItem*, QListWidgetItem*)::<lambda()>
xkbmap selection changed to: "us" - ""
I dont know if this is useful, but it’s all I can do.

Seems to be a problem with your HDD/SSD…
Did you also try to start calamares as root? There is a problem with the permission handling on the KDE ISO… maybe other ISOs also effected?
Could you provide the output of:
sudo parted -l
efibootmgr -v
Did you check that fastboot is off in the UEFI?
Still what this could be.
After
sudo parted -l
it starts thinking and then the system freezes, with no output.
The output of
efibootmgr -v
is:

Yes, it is
Hey! I just bought an Acer Aspire 3 A315-23 yesterday and ran in to this very problem. The problem seems to be with the WD Black NVMe SSD. I can only speak for myself but my computer have the exact same specs as yours, except I only have 256gb of storage. However, I was able to boot my computer with the newest version of Manjaro (kernel 5.8.18-1) but it seemed like it wouldnt find my ssd.
However after I asked google I found the solution:
Edit startup parameters (by pressing ‘e’ at grub menu) to include nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=5500
put this right after quiet
After install and when restarting again edit startup parameters in the same way.
Finally, when fresh install is booted: edit /etc/default/grub
in the same way one last time. Finish it of by running sudo update-grub
to make the parameter run without having to edit the parameters at every startup.
