Cannot Select Country from calamares

Like I said before not an issue on my laptop so don’t think its an iso issue. I went into gparted and deleted all partitions on my NVME drive then rebooted and tried again same issue. Just tried disabling TPM2.0 in BIOS no luck with that either. Yes the very latest. But its the same issue from Feb this year with a different image

I see, thanks for reporting. Will it be possible for you to send logs after the issue occurs?

is that the complete log? It seems like content is missing from it. Try uploading the log to https://paste.rebornos.org/ and make sure you exit calamares before log upload!

That’s strange. I wonder if the Calamares installer or its dependencies have issues with your particular hardware.

Do you remember which option you selected in the Grub menu to boot into the ISO? Was it the first one? You can select the first one if it works. Or try the nomodeset option. Or the LTS option.

It is also very simple to change the language after installation, if you can work with the default.

I tried a few options with the same results. I had spent too much time on this so went distro hoping again

Thanks Anyway
