I downloaded dragonized and it successfully booted into the OS no problem but when i try to put the OS onto my main system it closes out after I select which drive I want to format and use. after i select my drive it takes me to user setup and every time I try to put in my name it closes any ideas why? i use a NVME Kingston 1tb drive sorry for posting so many topics I've never used Linux before and still learning YouTube only goes so far until i resort to asking on here thanks in advance for any help
going to staples to get another thumb drive the one i used stopped working and wouldn't read
currently looking at it as it sits across the room after being thrown out of anger
Use the recommended way to flash the ISO:
It can be DD command or Balena Etcher → Run as Admin is important!
When you boot from the USB you must have 2 option:
NON-free video drivers (by default) and free-driver
→ if you can’t boot from the ISO choose the free-driver!
→ Did you enabled boot from USB in your BIOS?!
i don't have any OS installed its just when I'm at the home screen the transfer to the main storage closes itself and im just stuck there using Garuda off the USB I tried both the open source method allowed me to get on but the proprietary drivers failed booting
Don't be lazy to type errors!
My s starts bleeding from your videos
You said there is no reason for manual partitioning.
Have you tried it?
It does the same that Calamares does.
It's not that hard: Just use KDE Partition Manager from the ISO
1.Create new partition table GPT
2.Create Partition Primary: 500 MB fat32 EFI partition (sda1) for UEFI
3.Create partition Primary: 200GB BTRFS partition (sda2) for Garuda
4. Create partition Primary: 16 GB SWAP partition (sda3) for SWAP
5.Save it, Close it and Restart.
6.Boot again with the ISO
7. From the installer Choose Manual Partitioning
8. For sda1 500 MB fat32 -->
mount point: /boot/efi
flags: boot
9. For sda2 200GB BTRFS -->
mount point: /
no flags!
10. For sda3 16 GB SWAP partition
no mountpoint
no flags!
11. Start the install
thank you for the video sometimes i need a visual representation I've never done anything like this before what you post was like a foreign language to me lol and yes ik my videos are bad i just needed a quick video
for FAT 32 stuff like that since there is no UEFI that i can see just follow the video but to your tweaks like the first one is flagged as boot and so on
for the ram part i couldn't understand her do i need to make a swep like she did i have 32 gigs but if im right she just means if you have plenty i can skip it right? or what?
alright i did exactly how i did which confused me for the KDE partition manager you were talking about is what she was on right? i have 2 partitions the FAT32 and the BTRFS and the rest is free space and all i have to do now is press next right? I'm sorry for seeming like i need my hand being held i just want to be as precise as possible and not brick my computer
It's the save it, close it, and restart part makes me feel like i had to do it on a separate program than the one she was in or should i just press next put in the user info and let it do its thing?
