Partitioning question // 128GB SSD

[Huckleberry Finn]

Yeah, perfect.

So, it's a Uefi Machine.. And all you need is "New" "Partition Table" : "GPT" and create first an Efi partition at the beginning (100MB "Primary" then format to fat32) as mentioned .. and Flag both boot, esp .. all on Gparted on live session .. (Generally right-click does the job..)

Then gor MX an ext4 formatted one.. And the rest is up to your liking: Another ext4 for data storage etc..

Don't worry about Swap etc. it's done by a swap file and swap partitions are rarely used (you can even click "none" on installation) ..

So I did the gpt part in Gparted, now I can run installation normally nothing else to do?

Posting QSI again after installation...

Yes, but you must either choose "Auto-install using entire disk" or partition during installation (Modify Partitions)..
The first one is easy and will do all what's required..

Hmm the installation was successfully, but on reboot the SSD is not showing up under EFI...only thing which is showing is "EFI PXE Network" <.<

AHCI is enabled and Boot mode is UEFI
Secure Boot is disabled btw

on reboot the SSD is not showing up under EFI

? You mean, it doesn't boot or black screen?

"AHCI is enabled and Boot mode is UEFI, Secure Boot is disabled btw" All so good .

it doesn't boot over the SSD after installation was successfully and it rebooted...
It doesn't detect the SSD with UEFI on...<.<

partitions are the following after install:

/dev/sda1 - ESP fat32 SIZE: 256MiB
/dev/sda2 - primary ext4 SIZE: 116.96GiB
/dev/sda3 - primary linux-swap SIZE 2GiB

How does it look on Gparted on live session? (You can also take a screenshot using the default utility)

The flags part is empty...

[Huckleberry Finn]

And also no Grub menu, right?

Though it should be automatically done, you can check (or flag) boot and esp flags on Efi partition on live session.

Nothing, the SSD not getting detected after reboot with Boot mode "UEFI"
