I don't know......
2023/07/04 10:32:59 [DBG] Warning: Partition(s) 1 on /dev/sdb have been written, but we have been unable to inform the kernel of the change, probably because it/they are in use. As a result, the old partition(s) will remain in use. You should reboot now before making further changes.
And the installer trying to create the EFI partition with size 150 MB:
2023/07/04 10:34:47 [DBG] parted -a optimal /dev/sda unit MB --script -- mkpart EFI fat32 386242M 386399M 2023/07/04 10:34:47 [DBG] Error: Expecting a partition type. 2023/07/04 10:34:47 [DBG] WritePartitionTable: mkPartCmd: mkpart EFI fat32 > 386243M 386399M
But can't do it, probably 'cause there's no free space on your drive.
OK, I see the free space, but something going wrong. Try LANG=C clr-installer for English logs.
2023/07/04 11:25:46 [WRN] Failed to find EFI firmware, falling back to legacy BIOS for installation.
Huhhh, you don't have EFI, so you don't need the EFI partition too. I suggest to test the server image too.
But I clearly have a free partition. I can find a free partition when I start the computer.
If disk is MBR installation starts and shortly into installation process fails with error updating partition table. ((c)forum)
- Grab a flash drive, format to GPT and try to install Clear there to figure out if MBR is the problem.
- Try a server image: 39540-live-desktop.iso, clear-39540-kvm-legacy.img.xz
- I'm out ideas.

Then swupd bundle-add desktop desktop-autostart after install, 'cause the server image has no default graphics.

Yours is an updated version. The one on the website should not have been replaced with an updated version yet.
