Hi,

Could someone help me solving this installation problem, please?

I`ve got this message:

Thank you all,

1 - Format your partition with gparted or kde partition if you use (kde)
2 - fix permission in your partition to install
ex to install in sda1:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/# chmod -R 7777 /mnt/sda1

3 - Copy the boot and porteus folder to you partition
4 - Enter in terminal as root in boot folder copied to your partition and execute the script
ex:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/mnt/sda1/boot# ./Porteus-installer-for-Linux.com

Looks like udisks problem. Unmount your device and remount manually then try again.

Code: Select all

umount /dev/sdb1
mkdir /mnt/sdb1
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1

@Lucas, were you running the install as Root or Guest? I think it has to be run as root.
