Hello Garuda users.

I downloaded a fresh Garuda Dragonized from the Website (checked checksum)

garuda-inxi command

Garuda (2.6.16-1):
  System install date:     2023-09-14
  Last full system update: 2023-09-14 ↻
  Is partially upgraded:   No

I have a NVMe drive that works perfectly for a Windows and Ubuntu install, but Garuda does not recognize it. In Windows and Ubuntu are no additional drivers necessary. I already tried to format that drive with GParted and set a new partition table (gpt) and formatting with btrfs. But no recognition.

Details to the NVMe: Lexar NM790 M.2 2280 Gen4x4 4TB

I tried garuda-update and garuda-update remote fix in the live booted garuda, but then the Installation program fails with this output

╭─garuda@garuda in ~ as 🧙 took 1s
╰─λ /usr/bin/calamares_polkit %f -style kvantum

    ERROR: FATAL in "/usr/share/calamares/branding/garuda/branding.desc"
     bad conversion

The weird thing is, that my old NVMe (INTEL 660p SERIES; 1TB) is recognized, but I want to install it on the 4TB drive. Also (as mentioned) Windows and Ubuntu have no problems.
I do not know what to do further to fix this. I am no newbie to Linux, but to Garuda (specifically Arch).
Thanks in advance.

PS: UEFI SATA is set to AHCI

Use gnome-disk-utility (start with disks or in terminal gnome-disks . (I like it if they can’t use one name for all :grimacing: )

Click the volume, extra settings, get owner.

Why?
Use button from Welcome or

sudo -E calamares -D8

Got gnome-disks running, but the NVMe or the volume is not listed.

I looked into the command the Icon Garuda Linux Installation executes, then I tried this command in the terminal.

This command creates the error

Just try the newer LTS version.

Maybe you can post also the name from the ISO you used?
garuda-dr460nized-linux-zen-230501.iso ?

I move it from Newbies to KDE

Where do I find these links officially? Do you have a checksum?

This was the ISO I used. This is the official downloadable on the website.

I build this ISO and save it in the cloud.

There is no official link, it’s just a service for people they have trouble with zen kernel and NVIDIA GPU

Thank you, this ISO worked out of the box. Would be helpful for people to make this ISO publicly available on the site as an alternative.
This helped me a lot. <3
