Greetings, I trust this message reaches you in good spirits.
I am operating on an x86-64 machine with Linux Mint 22, which utilizes the Linux kernel version 6.8.0-51-generic.
I am attempting to install Anaconda3-2024.10-1-Linux-x86_64.sh on my system; however, I encountered this error message after selecting the installation path, which I set to the default (/home/***/anaconda3), at nearly 90% into the extraction process.
PREFIX=/home/***/anaconda3

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

[3775316] Failed to execute script 'entry_point' due to unhandled exception!
I conducted some research online and consulted Gemini for assistance with this issue. The suggestions I received mostly indicated that this problem could be due to insufficient disk or memory space, or attempting the installation on an encrypted disk drive.
I verified that the file’s checksum is correct.
To start, I removed the incomplete Anaconda installation directory by running cd & rm -rf anaconda3. After that, I executed the installer using cd /tmp & bash anaconda3.sh, while keeping an eye on RAM, disk, and swap usage, all of which appeared to be within normal limits, but I still received the same error.
In my next attempt, I moved the installer script from /tmp to my local disk by using mkdir ~/tmp & cd ~/tmp & sudo mv /tmp/anaconda3.sh ., and again deleted the Anaconda3 directory before rerunning the installer script from my disk, but the result was still the same.
At the time of the error, my memory usage was around 60%, and there was over 300GB of free space on my home partition, so I don’t think a lack of space was the cause.
This leads me to suspect that encryption might be the issue.
The current state of my disk partitions is as follows:
600MB /boot/efi
1GB /boot
8GB swap
18GB /var
60GB /
380GB /home
I am uncertain whether my /home partition is encrypted.
Please provide me with information regarding this, even if it may not be directly related to the error:
How can I check if a disk partition is encrypted?
What steps should I take to disable encryption?
How can I re-enable encryption?
Additionally, please provide a solution for resolving the error and installing Anaconda.
Thank you for your time and assistance.
