I’m new to fedora and have experiances with suse and ubuntu. I have problems with sound on my new laptop (ASUS UX3405MA) with all present distributions. So I want to try the new fedora. The sound works on the live system.
Sadly, I am not able to install fedora because of the partition-manager in the installer. All three modes don’t work. I have a 1 tb free space on my ssd. It is a dual boot system.
Partition 1: efi (260 MB)
Partition 2: Windows 11 (NTFS, C:, 1 TB)
Partition 3: recovery Windows (1,45 GB)
Partition 4: recovery ASUS (260 MB)
Partition 5: Windows 11 (NTFS, D:, 1,8 TB)
free space (1 TB).
The automatic mode don’t accept the free space.
I use KDE Partition Manager to create new partitions, but they would also not acepted.
1000 MB /boot
32 GB swap
200 GB /
750 GB /home
The automatic mode don’t recognize the partitions.
I choosed Partition 1 for /boot/efi.
Sometimes it tells me that the filesystem is wrong or have to created. I use btrfs und ext4. No luck.
I have read that there are maybe problems with ssds with more than 2 TB of space. Is it still the problem?
Automatic mode assume that the free space remains free and is not pre-created. The install procedure will create them automatically. If you pre-create the partitions, you need to chose another mode.
So, I was able to install the new Kubuntu 25.04 but have still no luck with Fedora 24.
For Kubuntu I created a new partition (300 MB, fat32) for /boot/efi. The fedora installer doesn’t accept this partition for boot/efi. It also doesn’t accept the /-Partition. I should format the partition but the formular is grayed out (disabled). I can not change the filesystem or format it.
The automatic-mode still doesn’t work.
I created some “screenshots”. Sorry for the bad quality.
