I am attempting my first ever install of ProxMox and it is failing.

Here is the message I am receiving:

installation of package libgdbm-compat4_1.19-3_amd64.deb failed

I am installing this on a dedicated machine.

MB: ASUS Prime A320M-K BIOS Ver. 4023
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700x
RAM: 16gb Corsair (2-8 gb sticks)
SSD: 512gb

It has onboard graphics and also an GTX980

Thanks in advance.
 
If you're using the PVE ISO - please start the installation in debug mode - after the error you can abort the installation and should be presented with a shell - where the error might be shown with more details (check the other virtual consoles (Alt+F1, Alt+F2))

If you're installing on top of Debian - please post the complete error message

I hope this helps!
 
There is the error. If it can't be seen in the pic I will type it all out. Unless there is a way to see a log.

hmm - my guess - either the iso was corrupted on download - verify with the provided checksums!
or ... the USB-drive you're using with the iso has an issue - try with a different USB drive

I hope this helps!

It seems like it was an issue with my USB stick. The sum checked out so I went with your advice on switching USB sticks.

Thanks for your help.
