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.
Thank you for your answer.

'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?
[Edited by a mod: code tags]
The '499 GB Volume is mounted' line is concerning, please re-try after issuing:
sudo rc-service lvm stop
