Manjaro Install freezes at "Configuring Hardware"
Hey friends, I was recently trying to install Manjaro Linux: XFCE Edition (17.1.8) on an old laptop for testing, but the installer got stuck at “Configuring Hardware” – the 76% mark. Just before getting stuck, the wireless adapter turned off. If this is happening to you, here is the solution that worked for me. Open the file /usr/lib/calamares/modules/mhwdcfg/main.py . Near line 85, you’ll find the following lines. for id in self.identifier['net']: self.configure(b, id) Remove these before running the installer, and the installer should complete without any issue after that Original solution at: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/calamares-install-fails/16511/8
