Description of the issue (screenshots if relevant):
I install using Calamares, choose to erase disk and create partition with swap and hibernation.
During install stage, it fails with this error:
and try installation again. That usually corrects any partitioning errors not as sure about creating a partition table. Also you could blank the drive and then set up partitions with KDE Partition Manager and then use ‘Use existing partitions’ on the Calamares installer.
If you used erase disk it should automatically create the correct partition table. So something is wrong, maybe something is wrong with the disk itself. But to set which type of partition table is:
I tried the solution with Calamares which failed. I couldn’t try with gparted as the wifi doesn’t seem to work and I have no other mean to access the Internet to install it.
However I tried with the KDE alternative PartitionManager and I could suppress the existing partitions, create GPT table and install OM Lx.
However the boot device is not detected (though I played with the options is BIOS secureboot and CSM options)
I retried with a GPT partition and I’ve got the same error…
The USB drive started in CSM mode, I could make it start in UEFI mode.
I still had to clean the disk with KDE Partitions Manager as Calamares failed to do it, but then automatic partition created the needed boot partition.
Then the system boots correctly
Aside: the wifi issue seems to be common to this hardware, I’ve seen some tutorials (for Ubuntu only) here and there to install the drivers. I’ll try to apply them to OM Lx.
