Install Mate 20.1 stopps at 82% Configure the Hardware

Hello together,
as the title says, the installer always stops at 82% Configure the hardware. No idea, what’s going wrong.

If necessary, I will post the complete 1500 lines

Hi!
Take a look at this

3

please use ``` over and under log. That is quite better :slight_smile: Thanks.

It seems to stop by configuring/installing the gpu driver… strange.

4

Thanks for Your answer, unfortunately it did not change anything.

Just to be shure: I started Manjaro as live from a usb-stick, after the first menu appeared, I pressed ‘E’ to edit the start parameters and inserted 'acpi_osi=“Windows 2020” ’ after ‘quiet’ and started with F10. Is that correct?

5

Hi!
Try to install nonfree drivers while install

6

You haven’t installed 20.1, but 20.0.1… just saying. Since you installed the Mate version with linux56 (EOL).

7

Sorry for my typo :wink:

8

Fun fact: I had success installing Manjaro XFCE on this hardware without any problems. Didn’t think, that there are any diffrerences other than the desktop.

9

No Problem at all. Just correct the title :wink:

Could you provide a full log of you current boot (of the live session)?

journalctl -b -0 > ~/journal.log

and run rhe installer please in debug mode:

sudo calamares --debug &> ~/calamares.log

If it is too long please use something like pastebin.com.

Thank you :wink:

10

I guess calamares is on that version a bit outdated and mhwd also.

11

With nonfree drivers Manjaro does not start the live session.

The last three lines on my monitor are:

[ ok ] Finished LiveMedia Config Script
[ ok ] Finished Initialize Pacman keyring
[***] A start job is running for LiveMedia MHDW Script (12min 30sI no limit)

So I will try calamares --debug

12

Sorry, that took a few seconds :wink:

Journal.log → Journal.log - Pastebin.com
Calamares.log → Calamares.log - Pastebin.com

From what I have seen, You are right. There seems to be a problem with the graphics card.

Maybe I should try the Architect.

Instead of an outdated ISO i would recommend Architect.

14

OK, I will try the Architect. I will report, what will happen next.

Could not resolve host: repo dot rhindon dot net (I am told that I can’t send links)

But it seems to download files successfully from some other source.

17

Success!! Thanks every one for helping.
