Attempting basic installation from USB stick. Installation turns up following error. Ran test with Ubuntu installer that worked just fine. Not entirely sure how to diagnose WHY bootloader will NOT install. OR load? There does seem to be a partition on the install drive.
The bootloader could not be installed. The installation command
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfgreturned error code 1.
In live ISO use in terminal
sudo -E calamares -D8
post the log.
Explain in detail what you did before this error message.
Also use live ISO to post your PC specs with

This log does not include any install progress. You will need to start the installation process and wait for it to error before posting it here.
Your garuda-inxi output is also still missing.
My respects! I had the same problem. The bootloader did not want to install as before, what I did not do! On my desktop and laptop, the problem is solved by multiple reinstallation of the System and on the 3rd-4th time the bootloader is still installed. This is a problem of the Garuda Linux distribution, since the installation of Arch similar systems, for example, Mandjero, takes place in the standard rehim and without problems. I wish you goodness and peace!
Edit: Sorry. I’m more approachable in real life. Miss @ro
Garuda Linux is, to my knowledge, the only distribution that makes it easier for beginners to get started with Garuda Rani. A GUI for everything and everyone.
If you notice any quirks or bugs, please post here.
