I'm trying to replace Asahi Linux with Ubuntu Asahi on my Apple Silicon Mac, but the installer is stuck in a loop showing "Not enough available space to resize."
What I've done:
- Ran
sudo ./RemoveAsahi.sh to remove Asahi Linux
- Removed all Linux partitions from Asahi Linux using Disk Utility
- Removed the EFI - ASAHI partition
- Ran the Ubuntu Asahi installer with:
curl -sL https://ubuntuasahi.org/install | sh
RemoveAsahi.sh output:

The RemoveAsahi.sh script failed to resize disk0s2 with the error "Error: Failed to resize [disk0s2]." After the script ran, the disk layout shows ~92.4 GB of space in temporary HFS partitions (disk0s4, disk0s5, disk0s6) plus 134.7 MB of unallocated free space, yet the Ubuntu Asahi installer refuses to resize and says "Available space: 0 B."
The installer doesn't offer options to choose which partition to resize or provide more granular control over partition selection. The temporary HFS partitions appear to be blocking the resize operation.
I need either a way to manually consolidate this space so both the RemoveAsahi script and the Ubuntu Asahi installer can recognize it, or information on how to properly prepare the disk for Ubuntu Asahi installation after the RemoveAsahi script fails.
Thank you for any guidance!
