instalation failed (artix-xfce-openrc ... x86.iso)

28 March 2025, 00:17:52

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?
