Description Forgotten User 5jFyFBvk-I 2018-02-04 09:38:02 UTC 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.119 Safari/537.36
Build Identifier: 

After selecting network, and clicking next, a dialog appears to execute some debug stuff, go back, continue to next or quit.
So it is on disc management it fails. If I say next and come to the final page it says that it cannot install due to missing boot disk

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start on USB
2.Follow guide
3.Observe :-)
Actual Results:  
Fails with a dialog saying that installation failed

Expected Results:  
Being able to run disk partitioner

detect_resize_info() fails since 'ntfsresize --info' due to some NTFS
problems.
Comment 5 Forgotten User 5jFyFBvk-I 2018-02-18 10:08:47 UTC 
Suggestion:
Warning about this and disabling NTFS resize?
I'm trying to install over an existing Linux partition so I "don't care" about NTFS partition.
BTW. I have no information from Windows complaining about NTFS error so it is a bit weird.
Will force check though

After doing fsck this problem was solved, but I still cannot install.
Since I have a Linux installation and want to keep the partitioning I currently have I get the following situation:
1. I choose export partitioning with current partitions (or something like that)
2. I choose the ext4 partition as root, choose format and mount /
3. I make sure that swap will be formatted
4. Press next, It tells me that I it might fail because there is no EFI partition
5. I start partitioner again and verify that there is
6. Try again, same message
7. I go back to partitioner choose the EFI and say that is should be mounted in /boot/efi
8. Continue installation
9. When trying to install bootloader is reports that it fails due to the folder /boot/efi/boot/efi does not exist
10. Installation finishes
11. Reboot and system is inoperable.

I cannot see that there is any way for me to install since I already have a partition setup that I want to keep :-(

Just for notice, neon, kubuntu and ubuntu (all ubuntu flavors, I know) are all installing fine. Automatically finding the EFI partition and using it.
THAT is nice :-) I don't even have to choose it even though I use the existing partition setup

Can you please provide YaST logs for that second attempt which tried to install stuff in "/boot/efi/boot/efi"?
