GTK isos can NOT install

28 January 2025, 08:29:29

Can downLoad base,LXQT for installing to MSI laptop [dated 2024-AUG-23 iso]
Rather use the GTK sets, But when iNSTALL is clicked and offline selected
nothing else happens [my USB have leds, flash when access, no flash]
Then via a terminal on iso run calamares.
Then one of TWO showup to why the iNSTALL does not go on:
On some GTK iso installer is looking for python3.12, iso has 3.13
then LN 3.13 to 3.12 and rerun installer, then some python data not found!
Other problem : iNVALID style GTK, five other styles shown  BUT
can not change to other accepted styles

Please do not run calamares as root.
Start it with pkexec or sudo.
