I’ve tried to install Fedora 38 Workstation from live media (USB and CD/DVD). The live instance works fine - I can download and install, e.g. But after clicking the link to install, after some cursor/drive activity, nothing shows up - no information, no error.
I’ve unplugged all external drives, including USB sticks.
I have the logs from /tmp, as a zip, using inxi (-Fxz) and lswh -short.
Debian, Endeavor, Mint and Ubuntu have all installed. I get failures with Fedora, OpenSuSE, Centos - just about every RPM-based distro.
I’ve not seen a similar topic, but if I’ve overlooked it (and it’s solved) let me know the error of my ways.
Lastly, where can I submit the logs?
I have failed in my search. I did try the the net option but it froze at a certain point so I was unable to grab the logs, just a screenshot.
I’m used to finding a directory of various versions of a distro.
If you could direct me to a source, I would be appreciative.
The official download page is Fedora Workstation | The Fedora Project for workstation. It has the fedora media writer available there to download to create the media. I have generally had success with all variants of installing Fedora, but at times there have been issues, just not recently. As for the logs, if we need to get a look at them in detail, we can use a file service like pastebin or similar. I think trying the full installer instead of the live installer would help you.
I thought Anaconda was setup slightly differently. Also there is the option to rescue a system with the installer, and I am uncertain if the live cd image has this capability.
The live image has the ‘Troubleshooting’ option when first booted.
That gives one the option to boot with ‘basic graphics’ and avoids most of what may be driver issues for booting that device.
