I did try it and the result is this but during install it said error downloading pkgs
Solution:Jump to solution
could you download the latest ISO from the download page ('Master Build Server') and try that?

Maybe a server is down
As in here
are you sure you got the latest iso?
some isos had this problem and not all mirrors updated yet
Yes
I used the git mirror
when
Yesterday
At 11 pm
hmm
then you should have the working one
not really sure whats going on then
@Rudra
I have install logs
One sec they are hard to send
But @SvGaming is /home supported
wdym?
every distro has a /home directory for regular users
do you mean /home partition?
Yes
i dont think it does by default
but i could be wrong
Well i used manual partitioning
And i found that option there
Pastebin
jade_gui - Pastebin.com
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
Here is install log
why are you using manual paritioning? are you trying to dualboot?
Main reason is /home partition
And yes im dual booting
i dont think blendos supports /home partitions
did you do the partitions according to the partition howto=
v3 did
Normal PC - blendOS
Installing blendOS on a normal PC
I have a 64 GB ext4 part and a 575 MB boot as fat
I believe i did it correctly
did you set the partitions as system and boot
as it says in the howto
Yes and my /home as user
I did try without /home but same result
hmm not sure why it doesnt work without the home partition
Oh hmm, are you able to access cloudflaremirrors.com from a browser in the live ISO?
Yes
But i cant open cloudflaremirrors.com/core
that's interesting, it looks like it fails to resolve cloudflaremirrors.com within the installation rootfs
oh nah that's perfectly alright, that path doesn't exist anyway
It fails with 500 code
It can resolve it

oh hold on, did it continue to try to use another mirror, or did it just stop there?
(someone else just had a similar issue in #💬┃general when switching tracks which is related)
It kept using the same mirror but repeating a lot
Same issue
cloudflaremirrors.com just points to the mirror it thinks it closest to you, so just reattempting installation might fix that particular bit; I'm a bit concerned about the UUID the initramfs's looking for being empty though
looking into that and attempting to reproduce it
did you use full-disk encryption by any chance?No
hmm alright
I did try that just now
aha the
archiso hook might've made into the installed systemIt shouldn't
Thats here

yep, included
archiso by accident in the last commit
alright, removing that and running a fresh package repo & ISO buildHow long thats going to take
github 😱
Yes i thought you guys where using gitlab
we are
some things are still on github
K makes sense
nevermind that was only on my local copy; I wonder how it made into the installed system (didn't look at your loglevel=7 screenshot earlier)
Accidental commit i guess
nah just checked, it was never in the pushed codebase on GitHub
Weird how did it make way into my system
can you run
curl -LsI -w %{url_effective} https://cloudflaremirrors.com | grep "Location"K one sec
actually wrong URL
K whats the url
https://cloudflaremirrors.com/archlinux/core/os/x86_64
curl -LsI -w %{url_effective} https://cloudflaremirrors.com/archlinux/core/os/x86_64 | grep "Location"
nvm it's not a redirectummm
I clicked the file link
Weird
didn't add
/x86_64/ for some reason
adding that worksEmpty output
I know
not a redirect
K
Maybe using a different repos will do the trick
we use cloudflaremirrors.com because it's a global CDN
You dont have any backups i could try
In /etc/pacman.conf
what
if you need another mirror go to the list
The download page

this is not helpful
that page works for me
Weird
unless it's pointing to a mirror that's down idk
Its not an isp issue
Its a mirror issue
Btw i live in Egypt
@Rudra hows the issue
https://discord.com/channels/1068192254365282405/1141480530282553354/1248917764736028693 this message is having the same issue
just got back; funnily enough,
archiso didn't make it into the final rootfs for me in a VM:pepeHmmm:
so just trying to figure it out now
Do i change mkinitcpio myself
The culprit
@Rudra
It booted
nice! :D just gotta figure out how the
linux profile and archiso hooks even made it into the rootfs lol
that's what I'm doing rn, just looking through blend-inst and akshara to see if anything stands out that'd introduce themBut how do i start gnome-inital-setup
Maybe this
def inst_setup_base(config):
if testing == False:
airootfs_files = [os.path.join(dirpath, filename)
for (dirpath, dirs, files) in os.walk('/run/archiso')
for filename in (dirs + files)]
airootfs_sfs = 'none'
for f in airootfs_files:
if os.path.basename(f) == 'airootfs.sfs':
airootfs_sfs = f
break
if airootfs_sfs == 'none':
print("====================")
print("Failed installation.")
sys.exit(1)
exec(['unsquashfs', '-f', '-d', '/mnt',
airootfs_sfs])
else:
exec(['unsquashfs', '-f', '-d', '/mnt',
'/run/archiso/bootmnt/blend/x86_64/airootfs.sfs'])
As it extracts the rootfs from the archiso
Maybe it copys its mkinitcpiothat doesn't account for the archiso hook though :( (since the config is overwritten later)
although that bit is responsible for the presence of the
linux profile/presetWell is this blend-inst file located on my system
If it is then where is it
Or iso

Is it built into jade or does jade call it
jade-gui calls it
(jade-gui only serves as a UI to generate the config, that's all)
Where is this config on my live system
~/.config/jade.json after you start the installation process on the live ISOThanks imma see if they are the same
rs2009 received a thank you Jao!
learn how to use codefences:
Ok sorry
```lang
code
```
No i meant the python script
You're thanking too much ó_ò
oh yeah that's just /usr/bin/blend-inst
they should be identical though
oh, I just realized you're using yesterday's ISO lol
Thats what im checking for
Solution
could you download the latest ISO from the download page ('Master Build Server') and try that?
Oh
K thats simpler
that bug with the archiso hook making it into the ISO was sorta expected, since it's only today that I added that bit to overwrite mkinitcpio.conf
The issue
Yea i thought it was in yesterday's iso
oh yeah, I changed that several hours ago
oh np! I should've looked at your earlier messages
Np busy devs are busy
I appreciate your work

@limby-giga-Shakman🇪🇬 how's it going
Arrr
Windows being windows when i just wanna install an iso
It downloaded
System is installing
@Rudra dont install nvidia and nvidia dkms
you can't have both
nvidia is just for the standard kernel which we don't ship
it installs nvidia-dkms if an nvidia card is detectedYeah
It tries to install both
nvidia-dkms is added to system.yaml
not bothThen whats with the conflict
i c
weird
Looking in blendinstal i cant find the nvidia pkg
Maybe its just pacman adding it as a dep
But its installed anyway
It booted
