Hi
I have been trying to install manjaro XFCE Qonos, the latest version
I have confirmed, that the installation files have gotten to my machine correctly through SHA-1 checksum.
I made the installation ISO through balena etcher, to an USB 3.0 thumbdrive. I have used the Finnish version, but I attached a translation later.
I got through the installation, but the GUI installation keeps running into a following issue
I am translating this from the finnish, but the commands should be the same.
"
Bootloader could not be installed.
Installation command:
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootleader -id=Manjaro --force
returned error code 1" the actual reading in the finnish installation program, just to make it sure " Bootloaderia ei voitu asentaa. Asennuskomento
Installation settings
Finnish language
Finnish keyboard (Windows)
Drive settings
installation to a fresh drive, all drive wipe, no swap
(Qonos 21.2.4)
I have repeated this with both the dual password (admin and user), and a single password (admin only)
Hardware
I am installing it onto a asus R515m with a pentium N3450, 8GB of RAM and 240gt kingston A400.
I’d say that the issue would be, that the installation application through the GUI does is not setting up the FAT32 (excuse me, trying to remember, what my friend said when troubleshooting) partition, with the correct flags. And in the live boot environment, I could not get the terminal installation command to work either.
Should I submit this as a issue, if that is the case, where.
This is the first time I am trying to install an linux disto to bare metal, but I have played around with the GUI of the KDE plasma version of Manjaro. I have no prior experience with Linux.
If I was unclear about something, don’t hesitate to ask

If you were actually using HTML formatting, that should have been <pre><code>. However, since you followed @megavolt’s advice about using the weird hybrid Markdown Discourse forums allow, you already applied the formatting with the triple ~'s.
