Hi all.
I am trying to install Linux to my MSI X670E ACE motherboard running a 7950X3D.
I have three m.2 ssd nvme, one of them runs Windows without problems.
I flashed my Ubuntu 23 on my usb key, I booted the usb key and I get this error:
After this error I get this one
And after that one when it’s time to create a partition on the disk, I see no disks available for the installation and obviously can’t proceed.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks.
On your BIOS, try to see if there is an option that looks like:
OS: Windows
Try to change it to
OS: Other OS
You should also try to disable Fastboot to see if it helps.
I hadn’t been able to detect my PCIE 4.0 SSD from Kubuntu 22.04 LTS, when I attempted to install it earlier this year. I had to update the mainboards BIOS/UEFI before being able to install a distro.
Is your BIOS/UEFI up to date?
there is nothing similar
bios is the latest one
@sblantipodi I guess you are trying to dual boot two different operating systems Windows and Ubuntu? Could you list what steps you did to install Ubuntu? I take it you installed Windows first?
I was using the standard installer version 23.04,
I now downloaded the legacy installer version 23.10 and it worked like a charm without additional things to do on my side or bios change.
I don’t know if it’s the legacy installer that fixed the problem or if it’s the newer version.
For now I’m set thank you all.
@sblantipodi The fact you used the legacy Installer the second time is probably the reason the second time installing Ubuntu fixed all your issue.
This morrning when I read your first post, I thought the fix for your issue was make sure you installed Windows first. I change my mind after I read an article Ubuntu had switched the installer used for Ubuntu desktop to the same one they use for Ubuntu Server. In my opinion, the install Ubuntu is going to use from now on is just one big mess. I have decieded to keep a copy of Ubuntu 22.04 ISO and a copy of Ubuntu 17.04 ISO, so when I need to install Ubuntu on a new machine, I can use the installer I like and then upgrade which ever operating system is installed to the lasest version.
I haven’t understood what the new installer does apart not working well on my PC.
The repos for older releases do get deprecated, so you won’t be able to upgrade forever from older distros.
The idea of tracking major releases, like the 20.04 and 22.04 is a better base to use, as they have longer time before archive depreciation.
I’m not exactly sure when they remove the old archives, after the OS leaves support though.
Also, might want to get the “point” releases for safety, like 20.04.2 or whatever it is, as it will have a bunch if the fixes included.
Good idea though, and definitely with keeping in a ventoy drive…
@Trooper_ish my previous post had a typo, I do only use the long term supported version of Ubuntu ,except when it comes to Ubuntu Sever because I can not find Ubuntu Server 16.04 and I believe Ubuntu chanage the installer in Ubuntu Server 18.04.
When a repo gets deprecated can’t I just remove that repo and then upgrade after that?
I can’t speak to the installers, as I never needed to mess with the ones they shipped, so sorry to OP that I dragged this off topic…
With depreciated Repo’s, like we discussed in another thread, apt searches by release name, and errors when it can’t find it. You can change the name in the sources list, and also install apps/debs outside the repo package manager.
I don’t know how far back the system will work with do-release-upgrade
