Issues installing

Support
1

Just want to start off saying that this is my first experience with Linux and I am not very savvy with it. That said I’ve been trying to install Manjaro with the Plasma DE for a while now and keep running into the same issues. I’m pretty sure it’s a corrupt image causing the error but I thought I’d post here incase I’m being stupid.

I’ve disabled secure boot and am in UEFI mode in the bios. I’ve booted from the USB, liked the OS and tried the installer which came up with the unpackfs error.
I’ve tried following a tutorial for manual partitioning and that didn’t help. I’ve tried to install a dozen times with the same errors:

Command 'unsquashfs' returned non-zero exit status 1.
None

Traceback:
File "/usr/lib/calamares/modules/unpackfs/main.py", line 498, in run
    return unpackop.run()

File "/usr/lib/calamares/modules/unpackfs/main.py", line 317, in run

check this:
Disable Secure Boot;
Enable AHCI - its under SATA/RAID options;
Disable Optane Memory and Rapid Storage Technology (RST) - you may not have these options;
Disable Fast Boot - you may not have this option;
Disable fast startup from windows;

use ventoy to flash the iso;
redownload the iso again from Manjaro Downloads

provide also system info:

Thanks. The fresh ISO install did it.
