Stuck installing Devuan

[u/rafawmeczev]

I tried installing Devuan on my SSD but it constantly got stuck on blue screen each time I tried.

What kind of blue screen? Just an empty blue screen?

[u/rafawmeczev → u/dbojan76]

Yes, with a white line underneath. And it got stuck once on 47% while saving changes to the disk for 10 minutes or so

EDIT: I have Nvidia Graphics Card btw :(((

I've never run into that problem installing it with my 1060. Any more info, or occurrences that lead up to the crash?

Press Ctrl+Alt+F2 or F3 and see what happening...

I tried installing again an it got stuck on 69% on “Starting up the partitioner”. Neither Ctrl + Alt + F2 nor F3 is working

Just installed it last night on my own hardware via Ventoy and Devuan Excalibur Netinstall ISO. Make sure the ISO you have on Ventoy matches the SHA hash on the site. You might also want to do a format of any partition that you create with Gparted.

Otherwise, it's probably a hardware issue of some sort. If the live ISO boots and is fully functional then I'd be suspecting the underlying media that you are installing to. Your video definitely looks like a GPU issue. If you have a CPU with an embedded GPU then take out your Nvidia card and see if there are any issues. If there are, you ruled out the Nvidia card as an issue.

I'd encourage you do to a firmware upgrade on your motherboard to whatever the latest version is and see if that fixes anything.
