Is the shell working correctly. Eg: ifconfig? Can not put static ip addresses. Remember I told this in Lx 3.x
While NM is used by default ifconfig wonât help you ⌠use nmcli to set whatever you wish on your connection.
OR disable NM , systemd-network of any sort and use own scripts to bring up the network.
lack of applications availability⌠I need to add more applications. can not do it using Discover.
Discover is ermm ⌠better do not use ⌠try dnfdragona ( icons may look strange right now but should work better )
I donât get the âlack of applications availabilityâ ⌠do you expect us to install 16k packages by default ?
The default we have right now is even way to bloated.
Still partitioning does not work properly. 1st installation worked correctly. But second try did not.
/, Home, swap did not work correctly.
That one I cannot reproduce ⌠can you tell us what way ar you doing that ?

Well Nvidia may or may not work ⌠but is not something we can really fix. ( the closed source packages at least )
So what driver are you using for your Nvidia GPU ?

dnfdragora is not installed by default. I am able to find dnfdragora in Discover or user can install it with:
$ sudo dnf install dnfdragora
For more applications one might wish to enable all repos as main is only repo enabled by default on installed system. How To for dnf repos here.

Well ⌠you donât 
You are going manual partitioning which is not ânormal installationâ.
While with along site or erase option the installer calculates predefined values from code or
configuration files , eg: swap size , figuring /boot size on efi , setting right flags for the bootloader ,
formating , setting up right mount points etc , on âmanual partitioningâ you are on your own.
That means if you forget to set flags , set wrong mount points , sellect wrong size for partitions or
even wrong FS , installtion may break. In that mode you can set as example / on sda , home on sdc , swap
sdb⌠Allso you can set / ext4 , /home btrfs etc. We cannot guess what you are doing there.
For that matter we need to know âwhat you are doing to get toâ what you call âbroken pointâ.

Just to clear something up. I have not said anyone here is lying. I believe I respond in a way that shows that I believe what each person has reported is true. That is most certainly my intention. If my explanations are lacking it is because my knowledge level is that of a user not a developer.
For any users with problems related to installing or using the Calamares installer, the partitioner or any module of the Calamares installer you wonât find anyone more knowledgeable than @abucodonosor. Yâall should take advantage of his expertise in. He is known as a top notch problem solver in general.
In all cases with any of us if you donât understand what is written keep asking questions until someone explains it adequately. I myself sometimes donât always âgetâ what a user is saying without prompting.

where is grub installed ?
Anyway that setup is not going to work right and the Distribution you are using wonât matter.
Sooner or later things are starting to break.
If you really want to use Windows on primary partitions and testing / using Linux on extended ones
I would recomand you to use some USB stick as /boot partition for Linux and leve Windows alone.
Also @pujithadimuthu it would be nice you give us full informations.
We cannot guess what â did not work correctly â exactly means.
We cannot guess your driver setup ( OK now we got an picture of it )
We cannot guess how you installed (even you show us that picture )
⌠and so onâŚ
I can wild guess cuase there is not much could cause things you see with that setup
but is not the point if you expect us to help you and also fix possible bugs you found , right ?
This:
Impossible to mount encrypted hard drive with XFS file system under installed OMLX 4 alpha on another SSD drive (encrypted installation) in Dolphin.
encrypted how ?
What is wrong telling us:
âI have HDD1 encrypted with XXX , when I want to mount it under Dolphin I have this message XXXXâ
But anyway without you to have the keys or setup for whatever your encrypted with in place , nothing
should just âmount that awayâ âŚ

no Encryption. Yes when installing I took a risk. where is grub installed ? it should be in sda1
I added images do get a better understanding the difference.
This is how I always install.

There probably needs to be a bug report against KMail and/or Akonadi stuff. Iâve been waiting for @Colin to get settled from his holiday escapades to address this one. I donât use KMail and I prefer for someone that uses it to file the bug report and do any testing.

Iâve posted this in another topic (maybe wrong one). In live mode,
Couldnât install yet. A partitioning error while formating a NVME device as swap:
Where translation is,
Installation fails:
The installer could not create partitions on disk "NVMe Device' ...
Did anyone succeed in partitioning in live mode of Alpha1(USB)?
Thatâs unfortunate. It is easier to diagnose problems if users tell us exactly what they did step by step otherwise you leave us guessing as to what you did.
I notice the error messages say that the partition is âDevice or resource busyâ. Are you trying to create a swap on an existing swap partition?
No. This device has no partition at all. Furthermore, I guess no matter the partition it could have, the installer should erase everything and create another partition table, etc, isnât it? I think someone has said installation was not possible in live mode but I cannot remember exactly who and where I read this.
Sorry you are having troubles. Yes, of course, almost everyone boots to âLiveâ and installs with the âInstallâ icon on the Live desktop. Only one other person that I know of has reported any problem with partitioning. That is in post #2 of this thread and we still donât know exactly what and how he did what he did so so far no one can help in that situation.
Remember to post screen shots of every detail of how you are partitioning. Also run Calamares from Konsole and copy and paste the output to a file and attach the file here. Run Calamares like:
$ pkexec /usr/bin/calamares -d
Fortunately or not, for some unknown reason, partitioning worked today. Really sorry not being able to provide more information on why it didnât work and why it worked now.
But Iâm still not been able to use OM LX 4.0 alpha1 yet. Installation seemed to go nicely but it freezed when I got âinstallation completedâ message. I clicked on ârestart nowâ and it freezed.
I turned the computer off pushing the start button. Upon turning it on again I reached the login window. But after providing password and seeing the âgreater thanâ sign, the system freezed again.
Tried again in failsafe mode. Although the terminal was open, the system login signs did not stopped. Since nouveau was on and this is a hybrid graphic computer, I tried blacklisting nouveau at /etc/default/grub. Any attempt to reboot yields the system to freeze and after forcing rebooting via start button did not alter anything.
So that is it: not able yet to login at OM LX 4.0. Maybe Iâd better try another fresh install âŚ
urpmi does not work. Please check. ThanksâŚ
Oh, Iâve checked. Lots and lots of checking on this and you are absolutely right urpmi does not work in OM Lx 4.0 Alpha1. But there is a workaround.
From the release announcement:
Big changes happened, such as we switched to RPMv4, and dnf as software package manager.
From Release Notes " OpenMandriva Lx 4.0 is a new release. In order to keep current with latest changes in Linux, computer security issues, and computer code writing there are major changes in OM Lx4. "
One of those changes is described in Release Notes>Package Management.

No worries, glad you got it sorted. Remember though if it happens again to get screen shots and/or Konsole output. Also we have upgraded Calamares to include an install log. Iâll discuss that more here after I try it myself.
