Bug ID: 438390 Summary: Regression: Installation fails on BTRFS Product: neon Version: unspecified Platform: Neon Packages OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Live/Install images Assignee: neon-b...@kde.org Reporter: bugs.kde....@tenkate.net CC: j...@jriddell.org, neon-b...@kde.org, sit...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY As per https://www.reddit.com/r/kdeneon/comments/nw6y94/neon_installation_clusterf/ - The Calamares installer does not seem to work with BTRFS on the latest Neon ISOs. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Run installer on Neon Live ISO 2. When reaching 'Partitions', choose 'Manual partitioning' 3. Select an existing partition (though this might be caused with a new partition as well), click 'Edit' 4. Click 'Format' 5. Choose BTRFS as filesystem 6. Select '/' as mount point and click 'OK' 7. Select your EFI partition, click 'Edit', keep the content and set '/boot/efi' as mount point, flags 'boot'. 8. Continue installation OBSERVED RESULT When Grub is being configured / installed, I get this error: --------8<------------ Installation Failed Boost.Python error in job "bootloader" Command 'grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=neon --force' returned non-zero status exit 1. Installing for x86_64-efi platform. grub-install: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?). Traceback: File "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/calamares/modules/bootloader/main.py, line 477, in run prepare_bootloader(fw_type) File "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/calamares/modules/bootloader/main.py, line 449, in prepare_bootloader install(efi_directory, fw_type) File "<string>, line 5, in <module> --------8<------------ Also, when mounting the target BTRFS partition, it is empty. Instead, the system appears to be 'installed' into /tmp. EXPECTED RESULT The Neon installer should work fine with BTRFS (and it has in the past, so this is a regression!) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Neon Live USB (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.82.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I used neon-user-20210527-0944.iso, but previous versions apparently have this regression as well. As per the comments on the linked Reddit thread, 'older' images do not seem to have this issue, but I don't know which version(s) exactly. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
