Solved Issue installing Korora
-
Having trouble installing Korora. I've never installed it before, didn't even know of it's existence until recently. I made a Live USB installer. It's phenomenal. I'd really like to install it on my laptop if I could.
After I select the drive to install to, and click the "Done" button at the top left, I get an error box.
The error box shows the following:
I copied that text to a text editor to go through it. Unfortunately, it's like 36,000 lines long. Aint no one got time fo dat.
So I thought I'd ask here to see if anyone has ran across this before and knows off the top of their head what I can try.

Have not seen that
-
I will try a new download and new media.

Just install Korora onto a Dell Latitude e6410 just a couple of days ago. Went fine. New download and install media is where I would look to first.
-
Yeah this just isn't going to happen on this laptop. It's a Dell Latitude E6440... typical laptop. Should work.
Tried multiple images (v25): cinnamon, mate, xfce, and gnome. None of them work, but even so, I would want mate.
Multiple USB sticks, with different formats. With and without Legacy and UEFI, with and without Secure Boot. I'd prefer with UEFI+Secure Boot, as anything that doesn't yet support that shouldn't be considered... it's 2017, keep up with the times or gtfo imho.
I guess it's just not meant to be.
-
I also tried multiple USB boot creators. Unetbootin and "WinSetupFromUSB1.6". Unetbootin just didn't work. The other one was 100% successful, at lest it let me live boot to check it out in full. Works perfectly, just can't install it to disk.
-
For what it is worth Korora is nice but Linux Mint imho is still slightly better. Enough that I will stick with Mint for now.

I prefer Korora but neither installs on my laptop

@scottalanmiller I had an issue with Korora Mate and my dual screens. It never wanted to pick them up correctly.

Try Win32DiskImager or Rufus (http://rufus.akeo.ie/) yet?
-
@dafyre Rufus is awesome

I find that these installtion issues typically happen with the graphical installer. Many times using the text based installer will eliminate them, or allow you to fix them. For example, the infuriating 'grub install' errors that happen quite frequently on uefi laptops/pcs can be avoided by using the text installer; usually you can specify the device to install grub to if it fails the first time.
-
I'm still trying some things in between other things. No luck yet. I'll see if there's a way to do the text based install through the live boot option. Is there?
I may just end up sticking to Debian based distributions (for non-server use). Haven't had any trouble with those... but Mint is too much for me, I don't like it for myself. Though, it'd set it up for my parents or grand parents. I don't like the route Ubuntu went, so it's not a preference, but it works well.
That's why I like #!++ so much. It just fits. Kali is great too, but not for every day purposes. I'd rather install what I need on #!++ and go with that.

Ya I just prefer regular Fedora with Gnome 3.

Eww
Gnome 3 is my go to. I have my set of extensions I use and I feel lost without them.
-
I can't stand the way gnome3 went. I'll be sticking with Mate.

Why?

FWIW I had this same issue (very rarely though) with an install of Debian. After a little bit of troubleshooting, I found it was a corrupt download. But you appear to have tried that already.

Extensions, and the activities overview. I never have to touch my mouse to get anything, but the extensions are the biggest benefit.
