I am trying to install Fedora KDE Plasma spin. Have it running from live usb on old imac (which has F40WS installed on internal drive). The internal SSD is encrypted. I mounted it in Nautilus and entered encryption key to unlock, so I can browse it in Nautilus.
When trying to install, I selected the internal SSD, chose to reclaim space (‘delete all’), but it won’t live up the ‘begin installation’ button because it still shows a red error under ‘System, Installation Destination’ which reads: “Error checking storage configuration”.
Anaconda prevents SERIOUS unintentional mistakes from occurring by refusing to continue installation to a partition that contains a distro. Use gparted to FORMAT both the target OS partition and the ESP System partition and then attempt the installation.
Thanks very much. I may have solved it. I don’t really understand these partitions, never heard of ESP. I did manage to find KDE Partition Manager, with the intention of just obliterating whatever was on the internal. I clicked all partitions and selected ‘delete’. Once those commands worked, it looked like the drive had no partitions so I gave the install another go. It failed with some strange error, I quit and tried again and it seems to be installing now. Thanks
