Installation does not boot / GPT headers invalid #52

Open rsdkz opened 5 years ago

While installing it complains that the GPT headers are invalid. At the end it says it can't find Grub, same with running the script for when it does not boot.

After restart, my PC says that there is no bootable medium.

You need to install using DD. Assuming your USB is sda and your hard drive (SSD) is nvme0:

dd bs=10M if=/dev/sda of=/dev/nvme0n1

Had the same issue, using DD works! You'll need to use afterwards a live Ubuntu USB to expand the STATE partition (the available space for apps etc) to it's maximum size.
