Hi,
I have a problem installing Fedora Workstation edition.
I created a bootable usb with Etcher and the default Ubuntu tool as well. Tried the main workstation iso, and also the netinst iso as well.
When I press Install to hard drive button, it loads for a couple of seconds then nothing happens.
When I try to start the installer from the terminal I get the following:
[liveuser@localhost-live ~]$ sudo liveinst

Starting installer, one moment...

* installation log files are stored in /tmp during the installation
* shell is available on TTY2 and in second TMUX pane (ctrl+b, then press 2)
* when reporting a bug add logs from /tmp as separate text/plain attachments

I tried removing all my other usb devices from the laptop leaving only the usb stick, also was trying with multiple usb devices, all leading to the same results.
