With the manjaro test that I did yesterday, I tried to manually duplicate what Ubuntu did for 20.10. I’ve got a Synology NAS where I store all our documents so nothing gets stored on the test machine disks that is not on the NAS. I’ve had the M.2 drives out of them before and its not been an issue. A third machine, another Nuc is in the family room that my wife uses.
Both machines sharing one KB and Mouse via Barrier. The other machine is an Intel Nuc and it boots UEFI. I’ve not had any issues with manjaro and different DE. But I have no idea what the root cause is at this point.
#Gparted live usb firmware bug driver#
It was only recently I revisited the Nvidia problem and stumbled on a post that the fallback driver may be the problem. Even different flavors of Ubuntu don’t work well. What I’ve discovered is there are certain combinations of Linux Distros and DE that do not work will on this machine with an Nvidia GPU. I called the distributor who sold me the MB and ask about it and he told me it was quite common for Asus MB in 2013. Which makes testing different distributions impossible.

The bug is if I install any Linux distribution UEFI it will boot fine unless I switch cables to another SSD, If I try to boot the MB will not even recognize the drive is present. There are no more bios updates available from Asus. It has a UEFI issue or bug in the firmware that I discovered when switching to Linux Distros 2 years ago as Win7 went EOL. One with Debian Buster, a couple of Manjaro’s, Linux Mint, Ubuntu 20.04 and Kubuntu 20.10. I’ve got two computers and three monitors. It just seems odd that calamares would behave in this manner. The root partition overwrote the btrfs with ext4 as I expected.įrom an operational standpoint it doesn’t seem to matter, the system boots just fine legacy and with a GPT disk. It just left whatever was there previously. So it appeared that selecting unformatted is kind of a passive not active selection. When I booted for the first time and took a look, that partition was btrfs. That time the bios-grub partition was set up the same. I had some issues with it not related to this post and decided to check out how Manjaro handles the GPT and legacy boot. It partitioned the disk MBR and formatted it btrfs. Previously on this same disk I was testing Garuda KDE. As I mentioned Ubuntu leaves it unformatted as intended. It’s quite clear about the bios-grub partition being unformatted. My question is about the prompt in calamares. I understand why the bios-grub partition is needed for GPT partitioning.
