Partition error in installation

[anon70515077]

Hello everyone
I am installing Garuda Dragonized​ on my pc . IDK why I am getting this error regarding the partition.
I have added the picture of my screen.. see it below. In case the image is not clear,this is the error:

Installation failed
The installer failed to create a partition table on data.

Create a new partition table(type: gpt) on '/dev/data'

job: Create new partition table on device '/dev/data'

please help me to fix this

Did you use manual partitioning?

What is /dev/data?

[anon70515077]

I don't know what it it. I just created a bootable pendrive to install Garuda and I'm getting this error. I have never created any partition manually.

Can we see sudo parted -l and lsblk -o name,type,fstype,size

What are you selecting during the install? Are you choosing erase disk or something else?

[anon70515077]

yes. I chose Erase disk.. swap (with hibernate) option . I want to use garuda as my main os

[dalto]

Before you launch the installer, use partition manager or gparted to delete that lvm partition.

[anon70515077]

can you please tell me step by step of how to do that?

[anon70515077]

I opened partition manager , and there is a lock at the lvm partition

[dalto]

If it is mounted, right click on it and select unmount.

[anon70515077]

this partition?

[anon70515077]

@anon70515077

Create a new partition table(type: gpt) on ‘/dev/data’

You must know which place is free/useless/unneeded.

[dalto]

On the left, click on the device called "data" and delete it.

[anon70515077]

ok.. I deleted "data" and now I don't see that lock on lvm
what I have to do now?

[dalto]

Delete that lvm partition and click "Apply"

Then exit and do the install normally.

[anon70515077]

Ok I did that and now I will install. what should I choose: erase disk (no swap) or erase disk (Swap with hibernate) ? and what is the difference between these two?

[dalto]

The first one creates a system without a swapfile. Since garuda uses zram, that is generally what you want unless you are installing on a laptop that you want to have hibernation support on.

[anon70515077]

Thanks alot . You are genius!! Garuda is now installing
