Hi, I have a laptop where I currently have OpenSUSE installed, whch is what I use daily, and I want to get rid of it and install Manjaro Linux instead. So when I run the installer, it asks me what volume to install to, and that’s where I need to make sure that I don’t pick the wrong option. I don’…

Hello again and thank you everybody for your help. I am happy to report that I successfully installed Manjaro and I’m writing from it. I’m sharing how I finally did it, hoping this will be useful to anybody that will get as confused as I was by the broken UI; but more importantly, hopefully, to th…

Where were the partition mounted to ?

This is what the “Mount Point” column (on the right) shows in Yast Partitioner. Is this what you’re asking? [image] teo8976: - /dev/nvme0n1 - nvme0n1p1 /boot/efi - nvme0n1p2 - /dev/system - home /home - root …

Let’s try another source of information: [image] [HowTo] Find system information Partitioning lsblk -fa LANG=C sudo parted -l [image] teo8976: I would expect this to replace the three partitions that currently make up OpenSUSE with one whole partition that will contain Manjaro, which is …

Then I suggest making a backup of the data and start a complete reinstall.

Also, the guide says to set the mount point to /boot/efi, but the “EFI system partition” page in the ArchLinux wiki (again, can’t post links :person_shrugging:) says: /efi is a replacement for the historical and now discouraged ESP mountpoint /boot/efi Can I trust the user guide?

[image] teo8976: There’s no such thing as an esp flag in the list. Should I ignore it and select only the boot flag? Or has it been superseded by some other flag? The documentation still mentions the flag. But the partitionner bundled in the installer might automatically set it. :thinking: …

Thanks, i forwarded it to the bug tracker. Someone might get in touch with you later for more details. [image] Erase Disk is the default option, but is not visible (#1) · Issues · Release... See: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/install-replacing-previous-linux-installation-what-partition-to-…

@ teo8976 Just in case you aren’t aware, this is what the screen in question should have looked like. [Partitions in Installer_resized_50%] In the this example the radio button(s) function as you expected radio buttons to function.
