Calamares Installer: EFI System Partition Configured Incorrectly

Thanks to Ubuntu, Linux desktop now have Calamares Installer. Despite there is no official statement, I am quite sure that Calamares Installer is built, deeply inspired by Ubuntu's Ubiquity Installer. This modern, simplified, distro-agnostic Linux installer has user interface and experience that is very similar to Ubiquity Installer.

Now, many modern Linux distros, including Debian Live, come with Calamares installer. Even Fedora is now considering to replace their own Anaconda installer with Calamares. As a Linux enthusiast, I am really really happy with the born of Calamares. It is undoubtedly the easiest, robust Linux installer we can expect. Many thanks to the developer.

Unfortunately, I met an error message when installing Linux with Calamares. There is an error message: "EFI System Partition Configured Incorrectly" when I choose manual partitioning.

I was sure that I have did everything right. I set an FAT32 partition as /boot/efi, with proper size, but Calamares kept showing me the error message. I met this message when installing Lubuntu 22.10, Nobara 37 and OpenMandriva 23.01. I did not meet this message when I was installing Debian 11 Live. So I concluded, this is a minor bug from newer Calamares installer.

Recently, I have a brand new, second hand laptop, so I have nothing to lose. I just kept the installation process being finished, and surprisingly the installation is successfully done. The GRUB is succeed and the Linux installation is successfully booted.

So, if you meet a worrying error message "EFI System Partition Configured Incorrectly", just keep going and go ahead. As long as you have set up the FAT32 as EFI partition correctly, your Linux installation would be succeed.

Hope the Calamares developers would fix this minor bug.

Ubuntu Kylin 19.04 Review : A Gorgeous Windows 10 Clone

It's been quite a while since the last post I wrote in this blog. My daily life prevents me to write another stuff about Linux Desktop, and now I'm curious to take a look to the Ubuntu Kylin 19.04. Ubuntu is always be my favorite distro. It supports huge number of hardwares, it has probably the largest Linux software repository. It is also --the most important thing-- very easy to install, even for beginners. But for some couple of years, because of technical reason, I stopped to play around with the Ubuntu releases. I stood for KDE Neon and became my primary OS because of its simplicity and the look. Few days ago Ubuntu has released its newer version, Ubuntu 19.04 codenamed Disco Dingo. I'm yes impressed by the progress Ubuntu developer has made, especially the way they arrange the GNOME desktop to match the Ubuntu theme. But the most interesting flavor of this release is Ubuntu Kylin. It's an official Ubuntu flavor, designed for Chinese People with its own...

How To Speed Up Your KDE Plasma Desktop (KDE4)

KDE is one of the oldest desktop environment in Linux. While GNOME (the other desktop that as old as KDE) is trying to built its own style of user interface, KDE from the beginning seems to mimics the Microsoft Windows' "classic" user interface. Thus, KDE has its own user base, especially for them who still in love with the Windows' philosophy : a simple desktop, with a single taskbar in the bottom, and a start menu in the left. Personally, I love KDE. It's gorgeous and eyecandy. But sometimes, I feel KDE is little bit slow in my older hardwares. So, after some experiences, I've found some tweak how to make KDE Plasma Desktop Runs Faster . 1. Change The Compositing Engine Go to System Settings>Desktop Effect>Advanced , and change the Compositing type from OpenGL 2.0 to XRender. 2. Remove All Bloatware Apps There are some uneeded apps installed in Kubuntu (my favorite KDE distro) and you could safely remove them. Here are my list : ...

And the most used device to use broadband connection is USB Modem (GSM/CDMA), and one of the most used brands is Huawei, a world-recognized Chinese manufacture that focuses to produce great networking devices (modems, router etc). It is probably the most popular brand from China and I have to say that Huawei is a great product. Because of this I decided to buy a CDMA USB modem from Huawei. And greatly, this has already been recognized by Linux from so long time ago and so I can use the modem easily with GNOME's Network Manager. But later I found a problem : how to top up my prepaid internet account? To top up my prepaid internet account, I have to send a SMS to the provider and I can't do this on Linux.
