Problem trying to install manjaro

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hello,

Maybe the issue is with the options you used in Rufus.

Instead, use teh dd command to burn the ISO image on the USB stick (I assume that's whrt you mean writing "USB drive, not a USB hard disk"):

Using Ubuntu mate:
1) Plug in the USB stick
2) From mate-terminal, issue this command:
lsblk -l -o vendor,model,name,size,type|grep disk

Carefully identify the line for your USB stick, as the dd command will wipe the whole device's content!
Assuming that its name is sdc (adapt accordingly) type as root or using sudo:
dd if=/path/to/the/iso of=/dev/sdc bs=1M status=progress && sync

to know more about dd:
man dd

Best,
Didier

I have tried it with multiple USB drives with the same result. I made sure that secure boot was not active and I do not even have that feature on my laptop.
