Cannot install SparkyLinux MATE 3.6

I tried to install SparkyLinux MATE 3.6 and get this error message

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/live-installer/frontend/gtk_interface.py", line 828, in wizard_cb
    partitioning.build_partitions(self)

    size = str(int(float(size[:-1]) * (1024/1000)**'BkMGTPEZY'.index(size[-1]))) + size[-1]

ValueError: substring not found

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi
It happens sometimes.
What machine you have - with BIOS or EFI?
If BIOS - try to install sparky using our old installer:

Code Select Expand

sudo sparkylinux-installer gui

[ldm]

same problem here with SparkyLinux 3.6 MATE x64,
I try it in VMwarePlayer

using old installer no more error :)

I found where is the problem ;)
in bios I disable floppy disk and the default installer works with no errors!
