[Solved]Installation on i7 intel

[smoreau]

I have a very strange behaviour of the installer on my tower. I used either a USB Key or a DVD. These isos have been tested on a laptop and lead to a standard display of Maui 2.

When i used either of these isos on my tower the boot lead to the display of Maui 1 screen. Futhermore if you ask for the information on the system it mentions Maui 1 with the kernel of Maui 1 and the plasma version 5.7.2.
Going further i checked for the installation and the installer was not Calamares but ubiquity.
I stopped the process here.
What do i do ? What will happen if i proceed to the installation ? Maui 1 ?

Thanks for your help.

Indeed very strange. Can you check again if its really booting from the USB Key and if really Maui 2 is on it.

Yes it is booting on the key. I install th iso on a Netrunner 14.02 system. Th USB key is named : maui-2-dvd-64bit-built-11e.

I obtained the iso using the Suse tool on my MacBookPro running on a Maui 1 updated in line to Maui 2. And when I use this key on another old laptop it is clearly a Maui 2 screen and data.

Will I try to install from a terminal with calamares ?

Calamares has no console line interface.
I am really not sure whats going on here.
Is there maybe some leftovers on the pc itself from maui 1 that could cause this issue?

This PC has never seen any Maui version. So probably I will try the installation from the key, and if neccesary I will update it on line
I will inform you of my attemps.
Thanks.

So the progress :
I decided to do a clean installation on this machine, and in order to solve the problem of the USB Key , I first use gparted on a live USB key. I completely cleaned the partitions.
Then I used my USB Key with Maui 2, and this time I got Maui 2 !!
So its a clear example, it is useful to clean the disk before using the installation DVD or USB.
What remains, the same problem as here :

Which is solved by updates of servers and installation of language packs.
For the moment I have a querty keyboard (instead of azerty) at the login session. An idea how to solve this ?
Thanks to all.

The end of the story.
Leszek, my tower has been used for the download of Maui 1 and the creation of the USB key, that is the only explanation I have for the strange behaviour on boot on this machine.
Now as is running perfectly. The qwerty problem arise from a Logitech keyboard of the MK serie. The solution I found on forum is to add the line :
setxkbmap fr

at the end of the file usr/share/sddm/scripts/xsetup
