Hi
I am new to Zorin is.
I tried to install latest beta, 16 but stuck on installation of grub.
Both manual and default way of installation.
Don't know what to do anymore.
I have UEFI system, so I tried to use EFI partition also , 512 MB
Any suggestions please ? Thanks
I tried to redownload zip file. Check hash, all good, no errors.
Tried again new install , same issues
Update:
After all , I booted in live cd, and went to boot repair options ( recommended )
after that, my os booted 
dont know why, but it seems that beta 16 can not install grub 
So is this right template :
EFI partition 512 MB
Root partition 220 gb
Home partition 220 gb
What about swap partition ? Is it better to use on Zorin partition or swap file ?
I have 8 gb ram, which is shared with graphics card, so it is basically 6 gb ram
I have just edited the title of this thread to highlight that it is Zorin 16 Beta installation that is being attempted and may then feedback to the devs.
Thanks.. it more understandable now
@zabadabadoo Btw do you know mine above question ?
I searched forum and went through different manuals, and in every found different answer.
Grub can fix with grub fixer in live CD, but the rest I am not sure
You find different answers because there is no solid answer. It's more 'preference' than 'science.'
Swap File is fine, but it does not really replace RAM. I have tested this... and bought more RAM. Setting up a swap file is perfectly sufficient for swap. Some suggest that having swap at the beginning of a partition makes it faster, as it is easier and faster to access when at the beginning of a partition, rather than somewhere in the middle or the end where the HDD actuator needs to move to.
HDD's move pretty fast. A human wouldn't notice the milliseconds.
Is it still true that one needs a separate SWAP partition to allow the system to hibernate? Or is a swap file enough just like in Windows?
Obviously there are good reasons why Ubuntu switched from using a partition to using a swap file.
Do you have another operating system on your storage device? Was there an EFI partition present already? Would you be able to provide a picture of your drive partitions?
Looks to me like @marko94 is installing on physical hardware, on a NVMe storage device. In that case it doesn’t make any difference where the SWAP partition is. I would just let the installer decide how to configure the drive, aside from the separate home partition of course.
Very good point. I had not considered that.
As far as I know, yes- swap file on a separate partition is necessary if the user wants to use Hibernate.
May be easier on most to just use Suspend, instead.
I had Manjaro installed before. Same partition layout as I wanted to do with Zorin.
I have SSD also.And EFI partition.
Funny thing, after last installation of Zorin, I had grub failure. Grub fix solve it. And after that I tried clean flash again, but now fully successful, no errors at all.
Also have swap file, by default it was 2 gb, I set it now to 6 gb
To the best of my knowledge, a swap partition needs to be the same size as physical RAM to allow for hibernation. If hibernation is not a needed feature, it can be smaller.
As far as using a swap file, there's no need to set it to a specific size. The file is dynamic so it will increase or decrease in size as needed.
I believe some of the reasons Ubuntu switched to using swap files was to A) maximize drive space by eliminating swap partitions, and B) preventing a system halt when a swap partition, which can not be dynamically adjusted, ran out of space.
