Hello. I am trying to install Manjaro on a desktop which has worked before but now it is not. I have tried many options and ways to get it to install but nothing at every attempt. The installation fails every time.
I am trying to install through a bootable USB which has worked previously. I have tried a different USB and that still produces the same errors. I have tried a different USB port and still the same.
The only change that I did was I swapped the HDD and only then did the errors start appearing. I went back to the original HDD and still nothing.
Will flashing the USB on a laptop matter as that is what I have been doing? I use Etcher from the AUR repo to flash the USB. This has worked before but I was flashing on the desktop not the laptop so I am thinking maybe that is why I get errors as the hardware between a desktop and laptop are different.
I have tried 21.2.5 and 21.2.6 and both builds produce the same end result.
Sorry for the double post. I have an update. Manjaro now works on my desktop.
I installed Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and that went through fine without any issues. Before the Ubuntu installation, I selected the option to allow the system to partition the drive instead of myself. I then realised maybe that might work and it did.
The funny thing is that I have been self-partitioning and it worked every time. This occasion, it did not so I let the system do the partitioning and it went through without any errors.
Thank you to megavolt and andreas85 for your time. This thread can now be closed.
