while i try to install manjaro in my dell g15 my screen freezes at 9% of installation everytime i tried 4 times but its same everytime and dosent continue i have to force restart everytime

I don’t do nVidia, sorry - but some quick ideas that I found in a search:

1. Disable NVIDIA driver: nouveau.modeset=0
2. Common Dell-specific parameters: nouveau.modeset=0 acpi_rev_override=1
3. Comprehensive parameters: nouveau.modeset=0 nogpumanager acpi_osi=! acpi_osi='Windows 2009'

To apply these parameters:

1. Boot from the USB drive.
2. At the GRUB menu, highlight the desired boot option and press the e key to edit.
3. Find the line starting with linux and locate the word quiet .
4. Add the desired parameters after quiet .
5. Press F10 to boot with the modified parameters.

After a successful installation, these parameters can be added to the GRUB configuration in the new system.

I’m afraid more information is needed if you hope for anyone to help you.

Usually, we need system information as described (below) and formatted according to forum guidelines.

This is obviously not easy to provide currently.

However, some other details might be useful in the meantime…

• How did you create the Manjaro installer?
• Did you download the current ISO and also verify it against the checksum file available from the Download page?
• Was it a full or minimal ISO?
• Did you select the free or proprietary drivers before booting?
• Are you multi-booting with Windows?
• (If multi-booting) is Fast Startup disabled in Windows?
  (powercfg /h off from an elevated CMD/PowerShell prompt will disable Fast Startup)
• Is Secure Boot disabled in BIOS? (Manjaro does not support Secure Boot, and will not boot if it is enabled).

Regards.

System Information

While information from *-fetch type apps might be fine for someone wishing to buy your computer, for Support purposes it’s better to ask your system directly;

Output of the inxi command (with appropriate parameters, and formatted according to forum guidelines) will generate information useful for those wishing to help:

Suggested inxi command (use either):

inxi -zv8	(short-form)
inxi --filter --verbosity=8	(long-form)
inxi man pages	(manual)

If running `inxi` within a `chroot` environment

• Add --color=0 to the long-form command, or…
• Change the short-form command to inxi -zv8c0

Your privacy is respected

When inxi is run using --filter or -z parameters, any personally identifiable information is filtered from the resulting output.

[HowTo] Create a Ventoy USB to launch Manjaro (and other) ISO's

Ventoy A New Bootable USB Solution Boot with a Ventoy USB and ISO files are automatically listed in the Ventoy menu. Any ISO present can then be launched and booted directly. The obvious advantage here is that instead of constantly writing a Manjaro Installer ISO to a new USB any time you might need it, every ISO you desire can be stored on the Ventoy USB and launched the same way. A 32GB capacity USB would allow ample space to store several ISOs of your choice; an 8GB capacity USB might …

A little more information would be good.

inxi -zv8
for system information.

Are you sure that the install medium is good?
How did you create it?
How did you check it?

The ISO can be booted with open source drivers or with proprietary drivers.
Did you try the other option?

It is impossible to deduce anything meaningful - so this is a general advise for dual-gpu systems.

If the device is a dual-gpu system and the dGPU is Nvidia - do not boot the installer using the proprietary driver option as it is - in most cases - unnecessary.

When you have a working system with the iGPU - then you can proceed to install the Nvidia prime combo driver.

You should check if the CPU is undervolted as this may cause freezes.
