KPlaying with it here on
:testing
GThe difference is it automates everything about Appimages, which in my opinion is in the spirit of ublue to begin with
GNice! Hopefully no weird bugs
VIt's also CLI, which I think for new users we should try to not prioritise.
GThere's this point too though
GIt doesn't necessarily have to be one or the other
VI'd keep gear lever whatever the case. Replacing GUI tools with CLI ones on an OS recommended heavily to newcomers isn't a great idea. Personally I'd have zap behind ujust, but I don't know if it could still be integrated into topgrade if that was the case.
GI mean yeah, it's good to keep Gear Lever around for GUI management at least. However being able to automatically update your installed AppImages was the main point I was focusing on. The biggest issue with AppImages are how they're treated as individual apps you need to manage manually, so if that can be mitigated or eliminated I think it's a good idea
GIf it's possible to integrate Zap in a seamless way to topgrade while keeping Gear Lever for GUI management, I don't see any issue
GThe two tools feel like they'd fill a niche the other doesn't if they work in tandem. There's also no CLI way to manage AppImages at the moment, so having both options would be welcome
Eis goverlay supposed to be removed again on the latest patch?
LHi, I tried everything you mentioned and nothing worked, tried with ventoy, bootable usb, nothing is working, it just shows the same error
WSo you getting the same error in Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite? If you have Bazzite on a different disk you could remove all the partitions of the disk and do a clean install, the installer might be getting confused with one of the partitions that is on the disk and raising the error
LI am dual booting it, it worked before a few days ago but now it's not, I always delete all the partitions on the disk except for the windows partitions
WHmmm, try booting a live distro of fedora, ubuntu or mint. Doesn't really matter. Open the efi partition and check if there is a Fedora folder. I have seen re-installs fail with dual boot due to this, the installer fails because it cannot write to the efi fedora folder because it's already there.
WActually this will fix it. 🛟bazzite-helpdual-booting installation troubles see this thread, same issue
LOk wait let me check and come back again with an update on the situation
LJust one question, how do I open the efi partition?
WIf you boot from a live distro it will probably show in the list of partitions that you can mount
AThis is a catchall error
AEssentially the deployment command fails and exits -1
AAnd the trash fedora installer eats the error
AYou need to go to a separate tty to get the error
AI was told
AI installed bazzite yesterday with manual partitioning and it worked fine
ABut the partitioning structure is also complex
LUmm... Now I'm confused
LLet me try the method by @wolfyreload
LThen if that doesn't work, I'll try yours @antheas
AI don't think I mentioned a method
AIf it errors out look at the tty for the error
AGl
LI mean you said you tried with manual partitioning and it worked for you
ABut I didn't have silverblue installed
AAre you wiping silverblue?
LOh ok, alright no problem, thanks
AFollow the dual boot guide the partitioning situation is complex
LI am not wiping anything, I am just trying to install bazzite, will dual boot alongside windows
AYou need an efi partition, a boot partition, and a btrfs partition with 3 volumes
AUse a separate efi partition for bazzite
AAll of it is covered in the dual boot guide
AWhich I also didn't follow and fail at first
LOk will keep that in mind, thank you
WWhen you boot from a live distro, you should be able to mount the efi partition from from within the file manager. You can also mount it via the "disks" utility in gnome if you cannot see it
LOk got it, should I just use bazzite for this?
WUnfortunately Bazzite and other atomic desktops don't have a live cd. So you might be able to do it via tty in the Bazzite installer but I find gui's a bit easier
LOk so which gui do you suggest? I am currently booted with gparted live iso, will that work?
WI think that will work
GGparted works well for this purpose
LOk wait let me try
