Hmmm, 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.

Actually this will fix it. 🛟bazzite-helpdual-booting installation troubles see this thread, same issue

LONEWOLF•5/3/24, 7:56 AM

Ok wait let me check and come back again with an update on the situation

LONEWOLF•5/3/24, 7:57 AM

Just one question, how do I open the efi partition?

wolfyreloadOP•5/3/24, 7:59 AM

If you boot from a live distro it will probably show in the list of partitions that you can mount

antheas•5/3/24, 8:00 AM

This is a catchall error

antheas•5/3/24, 8:00 AM

Essentially the deployment command fails and exits -1

antheas•5/3/24, 8:00 AM

And the trash fedora installer eats the error

antheas•5/3/24, 8:01 AM

You need to go to a separate tty to get the error

antheas•5/3/24, 8:01 AM

I was told

antheas•5/3/24, 8:01 AM

I installed bazzite yesterday with manual partitioning and it worked fine

antheas•5/3/24, 8:02 AM

But the partitioning structure is also complex

LONEWOLF•5/3/24, 8:02 AM

Umm... Now I'm confused

LONEWOLF•5/3/24, 8:02 AM

Let me try the method by @wolfyreload

LONEWOLF•5/3/24, 8:02 AM

Then if that doesn't work, I'll try yours @antheas

antheas•5/3/24, 8:02 AM

I don't think I mentioned a method

antheas•5/3/24, 8:03 AM

If it errors out look at the tty for the error

antheas•5/3/24, 8:03 AM

LONEWOLF•5/3/24, 8:03 AM

I mean you said you tried with manual partitioning and it worked for you

antheas•5/3/24, 8:03 AM

But I didn't have silverblue installed

antheas•5/3/24, 8:03 AM

Are you wiping silverblue?

LONEWOLF•5/3/24, 8:04 AM

Oh ok, alright no problem, thanks

antheas•5/3/24, 8:04 AM

Follow the dual boot guide the partitioning situation is complex

Aantheas Are you wiping silverblue?

LONEWOLF•5/3/24, 8:04 AM

I am not wiping anything, I am just trying to install bazzite, will dual boot alongside windows

antheas•5/3/24, 8:04 AM

You need an efi partition, a boot partition, and a btrfs partition with 3 volumes

antheas•5/3/24, 8:05 AM

Use a separate efi partition for bazzite

antheas•5/3/24, 8:05 AM

All of it is covered in the dual boot guide

antheas•5/3/24, 8:05 AM

Which I also didn't follow and fail at first

LONEWOLF•5/3/24, 8:05 AM

Ok will keep that in mind, thank you

LLONEWOLF Just one question, how do I open the efi partition?

wolfyreloadOP•5/3/24, 8:08 AM

When 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

LONEWOLF•5/3/24, 8:10 AM

Ok got it, should I just use bazzite for this?

wolfyreloadOP•5/3/24, 8:11 AM

Unfortunately 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

LONEWOLF•5/3/24, 8:12 AM

Ok so which gui do you suggest? I am currently booted with gparted live iso, will that work?

wolfyreloadOP•5/3/24, 8:12 AM

I think that will work

Geechan•5/3/24, 8:13 AM

Gparted works well for this purpose

LONEWOLF•5/3/24, 8:14 AM

Ok wait let me try

LONEWOLF•5/3/24, 8:17 AM

It shows this error when I try to mount it within the file manager

@Kyle Gospo updated DHD patch, the original had a timing typo in it: https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/ValveSoftware/gamescope/pull/1281.patch

LLONEWOLF Ok wait let me try

antheas•5/3/24, 8:28 AM

use windows, it supports the efi partition

antheas•5/3/24, 8:28 AM

otherwise, dulvei gui or however its called is a viable alternative to gparted and built into the fedora installer

antheas•5/3/24, 8:29 AM

i want to say its supported

antheas•5/3/24, 8:29 AM

but at the same time i dont recall ever mounting an efi partition in windows

LONEWOLF•5/3/24, 8:31 AM

No wait I am doing it in Gparted via terminal

LONEWOLF•5/3/24, 8:38 AM

Ok done and now I am installing it, let's see if it works

EExceed is goverlay supposed to be removed again on the latest patch?

Universal Blue

Bazzite 3.0.1 Update Released

Great, gaming mode works once again on AMD 7000 series.

LONEWOLF•5/3/24, 9:02 AM

Good news @wolfyreload @antheas deleting the fedora folder from the efi partition did the trick, however, I'm not sure whether I am well off using the same efi partition as windows because I've heard that sometimes the windows update deletes other OSs from the efi

LLONEWOLF Good news @wolfyreload @antheas deleting the fedora folder from the efi partitio...

LONEWOLF•5/3/24, 9:03 AM

Should I manually create a separate efi partition just for bazzite?

𝙍𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙦𝙪𝙚•5/3/24, 9:04 AM

anyone using an nvidia gpu and try out kde and gnome versions of bazzite? if so, how is the vrr between the two?

LLONEWOLF Good news @wolfyreload @antheas deleting the fedora folder from the efi partitio...

antheas•5/3/24, 9:06 AM

Yes it does

antheas•5/3/24, 9:06 AM

Yes you should

antheas•5/3/24, 9:07 AM

Bios updates also tend to wipe other OSs from the efi

Hmmm, try booting a live distro of fedora, ubuntu or mint. Doesn't really matter. Open the efi parti
