Solved Issue installing Korora

I really wish Microsoft wouldn't have gone with the Ubuntu integration... bash for windows... (windows subsystem for Linux) or whatever you want to call it. I think I would have preferred RHEL based.
It's honestly so silly that... who cares. I can't fathom for whom that system has value. It's so cheesy.
-
Was just looking at this.... look how close our Vultr system is to being Ubuntu-free. You can see Fedora sneaking in quickly. There is already a plan for the remaining Ubuntu to move to Fedora, as well. But we will see if and when that happens.
-
That ISO image is CentOS, too.
-
We have two other cloud providers, both 100% CentOS.

We are all exhausted after this one today. But congrats on this and Dash's flow post taking a slow day and shooting it up to a really busy one!

Lets say I have the most important website in the world to run on my server, and all I can use is Ubuntu Server. Which one do I download, and why?
The one which works for you after some serious test if this site is really critical. As a number of versions are out simultaneously, select from those which work the one with more security fixes ahead.
But realistically if this is really mission critial use centos. sof "common" server scenarios is more valuable to me. it simply sucks for repos (try scientific computation without third party softwares on centos... good luck).

The old HP laptop I installed Korora on installed fine. It's dual booting nicely. And that is nice - since the Windows OS is (gag) Vista Home.
But on the desktop - running Win10 on an ASUS board and 120GB SSH isn't going so well. I've
gpartedthe drive giving myself about 40GB of space.
Which is a little less than I have on the HP, but never the less it should work fine. Yet I get errors-
And I can't get it to install. So - while I can toy around with Korora on the laptop, I'm a tad disappointed at the moment. Yet, I'm confident that I'm just missing some minute thing...
-
Skip Automatic partitioning and go for manual. This might expose the problem.
-
@gjacobse the main window shows >40gib free. My bet is the logic under it stops at the first free partition of 1MB.

Still no love -

@gjacobse Ok stupid question: is this a gpt disk?

Master boot record (MBR) disks use the standard BIOS partition table. GUID partition table (GPT) disks use unified extensible firmware interface (UEFI). One advantage of GPT disks is that you can have more than four partitions on each disk. GPT is also required for disks larger than 2 terabytes.

uh okay.
It's a UEFI Windows 10 build does this Gparted Screen Shot (above) tell you?
-
That only tells us that no obvious UEFI partition has been created, not anything about the setup.
-
My guess, as suggested by others, the 1MB partition is throwing the installer off, or it is actually an MBR setup and you cant install because youll have too many primary partitions afterwards.
The 1MB partition problem can be mitigated by moving the 1MB unallocated to the right of the sda2 partition. Move is a function in gparted. -
