I am writing because I am having trouble successfully installing Zorin OS v16.2 on a machine with Windows 11 latest installed. I have installed many Linux flavors over the years but have not run into the error I have been receiving recently which states the following during the installation:
GLib.source_remove(self.rows_changed_id) /usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/gtk_components/nmwidgets.py:17: Warning: Source ID 954978 was not found when attempting to remove it
GLib.source_remove(self.timeout_id) /usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/gtk_components/nmwidgets.py:133: Warning: Source ID 955100 was not found when attempting to remove it
Below are the following items I have already tried for troubleshooting steps:
-Secure boot is disabled
-Fast boot is disabled
-I have tried partitioning the win 11 drive as an exFat (I will probably try to partition as another format just to test what happens)
-I changed the power options so that the machine shuts down instead of hibernating or sleeping.
-Update everything including the BIOS
-I have tried different sequences of restarting the machine.
*I cannot always see the windows drive when i boot into the Zorin (NVIDIA) installation. Usually this only sees the drive itself which has the Zorin installer on it.
The Specifications for my machine are below:
Asus Zenbook (Model: UX392F)
Windows 11 Pro (22H2)(x64)
OS BUILD: 22621.1848
16GB RAM
I7-8565U CPU @ 1.8GHz x 8
The SSD Specs are below:
SATA MODE SELECTION: [AHCI]
SSD 1000GB
WD Blue SA510 M.2 2280
Please, let me know if you need anything else from me!
This should have no bearing on Zorin OS - Are you formatting the Zorin partition as ext4?
Are you using the manual "Something else" option or the "Install Alongside Windows" option?
@Aravisian
So far I have used Rufus to format the Zorin image as both a MBR & GPT w/ the recommended ISO. When you mentioned formatting as ext4 are you talking about formatting the 1TB drive itself? I tried formatting a part of my drive as exFat & as NFTS just to see if there would be a difference.
I tried to use the "Install Alongside Windows" option and that is when I get the error. The something else option does not appear to me. In fact it is hard for me to figure out why 3/4 times I cannot get either option (Install alongside Windows" or the "Something Else" option.
Once that is done, in your partition manager, select a reasonable size partition for Zorin OS. The partition (not the entire drive) can be formatted to ext4.
IF Windows occupies the entire drive;
You can use the Windows Partition Manager to shrink Windows partition and create free space. Then select that free space to create a new partition for Zorin OS and format it to ext4.
Boot the Live USB of Zorin OS and proceed to try to install...
Is there a way to format the disk as ext4 from within Windows?
If not, I tried everything mentioned above including the following two articles below, and I have tried using the "Install alongside Windows" as well as "something else" and as soon as I get past the screen where I chose the drives to partition and install on I receive an error that the drive is no longer available.
You may need to use Gparted on the LiveUSB trial of Zorin OS to format your drive.
A screenshot may help us to see if there is something unusual about the drive.
