Intallation to hdd from a artix-lxqt usb key.

1.0 Installation from iso image of artix-lxqt went well:
1.1 Identified the usb key with lsblk -f
1.2 dd if=/path/to/iso/artix-lxqt-rolling-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M;sync

2.0 The structure of my ssd is:
[artix artix]# lsblk -f

loop1  squashfs                                                /run/artix/sfs/desktopfs
loop2  squashfs                                                /run/artix/sfs/rootfs

[artix artix]#

How do I install artix to sda6? Grub2 will call artix from sda1.

Thanks.

I found calamares installer.

sudo calamares brings the installer. Choosing manual partitioning the gui presents only empty fields. There is no way to select sda6.

I hope there is a possibility of installing without changing my actual boot partition on sda1. All I would like would be an update-grub from sda1 or/and adding a some instructions in /etc/grub.d/40_custom.

Any suggrstion to get calamares working?

I have found I need to use the partitioner in system tools to unlock my ssd  before using calamares. On boot it appears the live cd mounts and locks any removable drives.

Thanks for looking at the problem. What do you mean, you unmount partitions?

I went further. Calamares works only when I choose booting from cd (not usb), though I boot from usb. I go to manual partition and select sda6, Calamares tries to install but finally abort with error message:
Boost.Python error in job "machineid".
<class 'subprocess.CalledProcessError'>
Command 'dbus-uuidgen --ensure' returned non-zero exit status 127.
Traceback:
  File "/usr/lib/calamares/modules/machineid/main.py", line 54, in run
    check_target_env_call(["dbus-uuidgen", "--ensure"])

  File "<string>", line 2, in <module>

Any other way to install the system would be appreciated.

Thanks.
