instalation failed (artix-xfce-openrc ... x86.iso) [NOT SOLVED]

Hello,

Tried to install artix-xfce-openrc-...-x86.iso on an old dektop computer (ASUS chassis, Intel CORE i3, 4GB RAM, 2HD in Linux RAID1) and failed. The log is at https://termbin.com/5mtk

The Live session worked fine, detected Wi-Fi, sound card, etc.

The computer has installed a Debian based distro and the RAID was created with their tool.
Artix partition tool detects the 2 disks and a RAID, but fails to replace the old installation.
I'm hesitant to create a new table partition or a new volume having no tutorial for the iso install.

I like the distro, but don't want to take risks because I'm really not experienced on this subject.
Can you help me, please?

Best,
arquiviva

Perhaps a partition from /dev/sda was mounted by the live environment? Post sudo lsblk -f (from within the live XFCE). If so, you need to unmount it first and/or stop the LVM service.

'499 GB Volume' is mounted

'WDC WD5000AAKX-001CA0.drive' and 'WDC WD5000AAKX-001CA0-1.drive' are shown in Computer-Thunar but they don't appear to be active

note: I'm new to artix; how do I stop a service?

The '499 GB Volume is mounted' line is concerning, please re-try after issuing:
Code: [Select]
sudo rc-service lvm stop

Time to report back. Freely I recieved, freely I give.

I removed the RAID 1 created with the previous OS on this computer, created another RAID with the CLI, Artix installed on md0 to the end, but when restarted failed to boot and presented an 'emergy shell'.

I don't think the problem was Artix, because I repeated the install attempt using Manjaro and the result was the same. In my ignorance I believe the problem is Calamares installer.

Best,

P.S.: The only thing we really have in life is time. I tried Artix on another machine and I knew it's time to give up when I installed Network Manager in order to replace Connman and the outcome was to see disppear the options Suspend and Shut Down from the Log out menu. I cannot even imagine what one thing has to do with the other. (Learned to shutdown using 'sudo openrc-shutdown -p now'.)   ;D

Since time is precious commodity, let me save you a couple of seconds daily: you can use the poweroff and reboot aliases instead, they should work in all our inits.
