I am re-installing Qubes OS. I rewrote data for the whole hard drive when formating it. I created 2 storage partitions before launching the installer and left a large size of the hard drive empty for the installer to auto install onto the remaining free space when selecting “automatic” during installation steps. The same iso, the same hard drive, the same usb stick the iso is on that all installed without issue the first time around no longer is the case.
And its not like the screen is unresponsive. Mouse works, loading spinning icon next to the word “Configuring” still spins, what gives? I don’t want to have to delete the partitions, whole reason I deleted my Qubes install to re-install. Progress bar is about 1/12th of the way complete.
