Install Garuda Failed Issue

Hi Garuda experts,
I am a noob here. I recently want to swicth from Manjaro to Garuda. But facing lots of fail to install it not sure why. Can give me some command to show you guys my laptop spec and any clue. Just try my best to explain here. Thanks !

Below is the error that I received? What is my problem.

Command '['btrfs', 'subvolume', 'create', '/tmp/calamares-root-1rvbv51l/@']' returned non-zero exit status 1.
None

Traceback:
File "/usr/lib/calamares/modules/mount/main.py", line 363, in run
    mount_partition(root_mount_point, partition, partitions, mount_options, mount_options_list)

File "/usr/lib/calamares/modules/mount/main.py", line 282, in mount_partition
subprocess.check_call(["btrfs", "subvolume", "create",

File "/usr/lib/python3.10/subprocess.py", line 369, in check_call
raise CalledProcessError(retcode, cmd)

Could you provide the exact name of the installation ISO you used? The team will most likely need this information to troubleshoot.
(example: garuda-dr460nized-linux-zen-230501.iso )

Also provide the output from the garuda-inxi command if you are able so we can see some specs.

To share system information, use the same command in Terminal as in Manjaro: inxi -Faz

No, use garuda-inxi, from live ISO.

Oh yes, of course!

Please explain with as much detail as you can which installation options you have selected in Calamares. Are you doing manual partitioning?

If you are installing into an existing Btrfs partition and you want to preserve the subvolumes that are already there, that's fine but you have to rename them first so they aren't using the subvolume names Calamares is trying to use. If you are not trying to do that, change the "Content" toggle from "Keep" to "Format" on the popup where you assign a mount point.

I used this iso.
garuda-dr460nized-gaming-linux-zen-230501.iso

Failed units:

Actually I mostly facing is when I want to set partition type to ext4 or any other type, except linuxswap. All will failed. I just give up manual partition, diirect go to erase all. Then my laptop now is empty, :sweat_smile: No any operating system in my laptop now. I can only use live boot to open Garuda OS.

Hi :wave: can anybody help to check out how to solve my installation issue. Thanks :pray::pray:

Please, do not post empty posts to push your problem.

Just use Btrfs as file system, Garuda Linux use it for snapper.
The Calamares installer will do everything for you automatically.

Seems you install the bootloader on your USB Stick?

If you have an empty hard drive and don’t make any changes to the defaults, there should be no problems.
