That looks better, hmm, you’ll need to do

sudo -E calamares -d

And do the same thing again. THAT should get us ALL the logs I hope. I appreciate your help in figuring out what’s wrong.

[pergamin]

OK, this is the log (not complete) of sudo -E calamares -d:

Garuda's PrivateBin

@TNE

sudo -E calamares -d

…sorry.. it need the complete log file, not only this. (your log file)
Important is the creation stuff from calameres for drive + partitioning
I hope you press delete (settings drive) there and not manual partitioning and if, only then if you know the correct partitioning table etc.

WARNING: [PYTHON JOB]: “Cannot install BIOS bootloader on UEFI installation when install_hybrid_grub is ‘False’!”

You’re still booting into bios mode somehow. You need to boot the ISO file as UEFI mode

[gampel]

yes, he boot the vm in this mode, that’s one problem.
Open virtual machine settings → options → advanced → switch to uefi.

You type this

@TNE

You need to enable UEFI in VMware

[pergamin]

All good, UEFI activation was the solution (I’ll mark that as solution). This is weird, some month ago, without changing that configuration in vmware, always the installation was good, Manjaro KDE confirm that.

Thanks to all for your support.

@pergamin

(I’ll mark that as solution).

It’s done, solution was in post # 4
