Problems trying to install Ubuntu 18.10 in Aspire A515-51












1














I just bought a new Aspire A515-51, and I tried to install Ubuntu 18.10 but I'm having trouble. When I have to select the partition where I want to install it, it doesn't show the /dev/sda: screen capture



How can I be able to install it?

          From screen you submitted looks like you can continue in the process. If you do not have any paralel system on notebook you probably will not damage anything.

          I suppose, that /dev/sda will be created through the installation. But rather wait for better answer. Also those + - buttons could create and delete partitions.

          • I have Windows 10 installed, and I want to have both installed. I found this quistion in a forum ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2003675 So I executed the command sudo dmraid -E -r /dev/sda, and now the installer shows, but doesn't let me make a partition to install, and Windows doesn't start. Do you know if there is a way to revert that?

          • actually I do not know. Probably I should not give advice. :) I flagged your comment, hope that someone else help. I do not know if sudo dmraid -E -r /dev/sda is relevant in your case.

          • I think that was what caused the problem with the Windows because it stopped working after I executed that command.

          • @AdriánJuárez Have you solved the problem? I think you can ask another question regarding sudo dmraid -E -r /dev/sda but also add details about installation process. I found general help in this: askubuntu.com/questions/221835/…. It could helped you at the beginning of the installation. Basically now you cannot boot either Windows and Ubuntu (which was not ever installed)?
