Hi. I’m trying to install Fedora on my notebook but I’m not able to. I can create the Fedora usb drive, the system starts but when I click to open the installer, it doesn’t open. I’ve tried it with Fedora versions 33, 34 and 35 and it’s the same thing. I tried to start Anaconda from Terminal and the screen changed to the login screen and then the terminal showed the following:
liveuser@localhost-live ~]$ sudo anaconda
Starting installer, one moment…
anaconda 35.22.2-3.fc35 for anaconda bluesky (pre-release) started.
* 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

After this message, the installer did not work.

Thank you very much
