Nvidia GPU multiboot issue
After installing BlendOS the system boots fine. The issue occurs every other time of booting after this first time. I have 2 SSDs in my computer, one that has Windows 10 installed & one that has BlendOS installed. I get this error when trying to boot
[FAILED] error failed to start generate locales using locale-gen. After looking for solutions online the issue seems to be something to do with locale-gen failing to execute due to the read-only file system. When run manually it shows the error that it cannot create a temporary file it needs.
I found this thread on the TuxDigital community forum.
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this as a user or what I can do to help the devs fix this?TuxDigital Forum

BlendOS Mutifier (Redundant for v4)
- To use
mutifier, run sudo system install gum beforehand.
- mutify-cli requires no extra dependencies and is used as such:
mutify-cli <mount-point> [other-mount-point], ex. mutify-cli /usr/
This still works, but it has been archived as it is redundant in v4.This might help
So I would need to attempt to remount the location that
locale-gen wants to store temporary files in, as writable, then run the command, then reboot?Yeah
k, I'll have a try & report back.šš»
No idea if thatāll work
Another strat is waiting for v4
was hoping my "switch to linux" could be over the holiday break. If this doesnt work & i gotta wait thats a bit annoying. (not annoyed at u btw)
Hereās hoping (also you picked a newer distro, these risks come with it)
(Yes the site said none of that, it sucks)
oh yh I'm accepting of the popssible issues with it being so new. But in a way thats also why I chose it. I rlly love the idea of the benefits that an immutable distro has, but its a fairly new concept in the grand scheme of things
I've now spent 9.5 hours trying to fix this but can't find a way of requesting systemd to not run
locale-gen on every boot. I don't understand why I would be getting this issue but others wouldn't? Maybe because I am using "en_GB.utf8" as my locale and everyone else has chosen "en_US.utf8", but then why have that selection of your preferences on the install app? I even tried to edit the systemd local-gen.service unit config file to set it to run \bin\bash -c ":" instead of the locale-gen command but that didnt work either.
So I'm just very confused & disapointed that I can't make it work
Would it be a bad idea to start daily driving the v4 alpha? If i did would I be able to cleanly upgrade to the full release from the alpha when the full release comes out?you'd probably be able to update but daily-driving it isn't a good idea rn
FYI this issue seems to be rather annoying for quite a few people, so I'm trying to collate all questions that have mentioned it:
