System specs:
3090 Founders Edition GPU
Ryzen 5800X CPU
ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR VIII HERO WIFI mobo
Secure boot disabled
Current OS: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
I’ve tried both the main ISO (manjaro-kde-21.0.7-210614-linux510.iso) and the minimal version (manjaro-kde-21.0.7-minimal-210614-linux54.iso). Have tried it on two separate USBs, and I’m using balena Etcher
I’ve verified the SHA1 hashes
I just thought to also check the GPG sig by importing the keys from gitlab as per the instructions here: Manjaro wiki: How to verify GPG key of official ISO images ← jk I can’t include links, but should be first search result from the manjaro wiki following this search
I otherwise followed the instructions on this page and did get
gpg: BAD signature from "Manjaro Build Server <build@manjaro.org>" [unknown]
for both versions I downloaded
Not sure if a false positive or there is actually something wrong
Anyways, the minimal and regular ISO behave the same way.
What I get is:
If I install with open-source drivers, I get stuck on
[ OK ] Reached target graphical interface
but it isn’t frozen, I am able to alt+f2 to get to the shell and log in that way.
If I try to install with proprietary drivers, it freezes at the same place but is frozen and I am not able to do anything other than shut the computer down. Can’t access the shell.
I suppose I have a few questions:
I was able to install the nvidia drivers manually when I got to the shell when first installing open source drivers, but I realized after rebooting that I didn’t actually get thru to installing manjaro yet… so the fact that I got the drivers installed didn’t matter
There seemingly isn’t anything I can do when I opt to install the proprietary drivers from the very beginning
- Am I able to finish installing manjaro from the shell so that I can fully reboot and whatever else I need to do after installing drivers?
- If not, any ideas?
I would really appreciate any help on this, as I am quite stuck
edit: also UEFI not legacy boot
edit 2: installation works perfectly and essentially instantly inside a VirtualBox VM running on Ubuntu. Not sure if that information helps with anything (when proprietary drivers are selected)
