hello,

when I'm trying to install kde-neon it always gives me an error.

I have had it prepartitioned with 50 gb / swap / aprox. 200 gb but when I tried to install it there it gave an error: "failed to create partition.
On this one I tried to replace the partiition.

Then I deleted all the paritions with gparted but Neon wouldnt give me an install option but wanted me to manually create one so I did that with gparted again
.
This time I made one big partition but thats apparently not good either because I got another error.
"failed to add partition new partition to device /dev/sde"

It does not matter if I choose "replace" or "delete" I keep getting errors. In some situations I dont even get the "delete" option so I have to use "replace" and I dont want to use "alongside" because there is no along side since the drive is all empty now with one partition.

I really dont know what it wants from me. It can not add the partition it needs to an empty drive by itself and it can not use a partition that is already there.

edt.: I cant add screenshots here?

My version was from February so I tried it with the last one with the same result but different error:

"The bootloader could not be installed. The installation command <pre>grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck --force /dev/nvme0n1</pre> returned error code 1."

Then I installed Kubuntu on the same drive and it worked like a charm. No clue what problem neon has...
