trying to reinstall on Ally X and got an error

I deleted the relevant partitions so I can add a big exfat one (to share between bazzite and windows) before bazzite takes up space, allowing bazzite to have 100GB and am trying to reinstall bazzite and am getting this error. did I miss something? what do I do so I can install it again while having the exfat?

HoukagoOP•1/26/25, 5:06 AM

I'll try shrinking the exfat more

HoukagoOP•1/26/25, 5:21 AM

turns out the 100gb partition was kicking around, deleted that trying again

shouldn't be anything in missing right?

HoukagoOP•1/26/25, 5:42 AM

if I go into the fedora petition that's kicking around it takes me here

HoukagoOP•1/26/25, 5:50 AM

figured out how to properly get rid of the remainder with diskpart!

ok so how much does that actually help me

HoukagoOP•1/26/25, 5:52 AM

should be right to try installing again?

HoukagoOP•1/26/25, 6:00 AM

I already did the MOK thing so this shouldn't be an issue right?

When you re-installing, Bazzite or Fedora you'll often get that "code 1" error. It's casued by a Fedora folder in your efi partition. Now there are two ways to fix it. Either remove the fedora folder in your efi partition. I have a video guide for this https://youtu.be/GRdz08hJByo but it uses the terminal. Alternatively, it's probably easier to just do manual partitioning which I also have a video for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbxM_1ZJCCc&t=550s

Great

glad you came right

HoukagoOP•1/26/25, 7:06 AM

I would guess the same as ntfs but note that you won't be able to play Steam games on it

HoukagoOP•1/26/25, 7:16 AM

wait really? went through the trouble so that windows and bazzite can share it lol
maybe winBTFRS then
ppl use microSD cards that share games across both too tho are they not exFAT?

HoukagoOP•1/26/25, 7:17 AM

ohhhhh

HoukagoOP•1/26/25, 7:17 AM

shouldve read up

HoukagoOP•1/26/25, 7:18 AM

should probably just delete it and create another btfrs partition then?

HoukagoOP•1/26/25, 7:18 AM

what does shred do

HoukagoOP•1/26/25, 7:20 AM

an exfat partition might still work for emulators tho? idk

HoukagoOP•1/26/25, 7:48 AM

bwuh

HHoukago an exfat partition might still work for emulators tho? idk

wolfyreload•1/26/25, 7:49 AM

For emulation it will probably work. Proton does some weird symlink stuff that doesn't work on ntfs and exfat. Which makes making a shared game library rather challenging

wolfyreload•1/26/25, 7:51 AM

If you do go with btrfs be careful there are some regedit permissions that you need to do to make the winbtrfs driver work as it should

HoukagoOP•1/26/25, 7:52 AM

so ext4 then?

wolfyreload•1/26/25, 7:52 AM

I might be wrong but I think there is only a read only ext4 driver in Windows

wolfyreload•1/26/25, 7:53 AM

So if you want to do a shared game library, it's pretty much winbtrfs is your only choice. Or at least what Bazzite supports

HoukagoOP•1/26/25, 7:53 AM

yeah

HoukagoOP•1/26/25, 7:53 AM

just trying to get this btfrs to mount at all rn

wolfyreload•1/26/25, 7:55 AM

You might have gone wrong in the /etc/fstab file (which kde partition manager updates). Try run

cat /etc/fstab

cat /etc/fstab

in the terminal and lets see what the file looks like

HoukagoOP•1/26/25, 7:57 AM

wolfyreload•1/26/25, 7:57 AM

looks like you came right

HoukagoOP•1/26/25, 7:59 AM

HoukagoOP•1/26/25, 8:02 AM

it's not actually adding to steeeam

HoukagoOP•1/26/25, 8:08 AM

like I click add drive click the big btfrs the window goes away but nothing happens

wolfyreload•1/26/25, 8:33 AM

you missing some of the settings. for btrfs the settings should be "defaults,compress-force=zstd:3,noatime,lazytime,commit=120,space_cache=v2,nofail" in the documentation.

wolfyreload•1/26/25, 8:34 AM

Also are you able to create files manually on the drive? If not change the ownership to yourself sudo chown $USER:$USER /var/mnt/gamessudo chown $USER:$USER /var/mnt/games

HoukagoOP•1/26/25, 10:43 AM

yes if I open as admin

HoukagoOP•1/26/25, 10:44 AM

the $USER:$USER would be like deck:deck right?

HoukagoOP•1/26/25, 11:14 AM

didn't work I think it's not actually applying when I put in those settings? idk

HoukagoOP•1/26/25, 11:37 AM

I'll probably give up on most of the partition stuff and like, manage it this way https://youtu.be/uy8mi1pAj8E?si=grDItM3J3fZKH9lI

After running Bazzite for a few months, you may wish to allocate additional disk space for Bazzite if you are dual-booting Bazzite and Windows on the same drive. We'll be going through the process of how to do that in this guide.

wolfyreload•1/26/25, 12:19 PM

Doing it that way isn't the worst then Windows has it's space and Bazzite has it's own. I have shared space setup btrfs but I'm in Windows so seldomly that it was pretty pointless lol

HoukagoOP•1/26/25, 12:56 PM

yeah and can use a microsd for the stuff I need it for probably

HoukagoOP•1/26/25, 12:57 PM

doing a clean install of bazzite just so I don't have to worry about anything leftover
