Installation Troubleshoot Guide - Bazzite Documentation
Bazzite is a custom image built upon Fedora Atomic Desktops that brings the best of Linux gaming to all of your devices.
If it is the other linux on the efi partition problem, this is much easier to resolve if you use the live iso to install
when i press alt+ctrl+f5 (i think so) this comes up i didnt even login yet how im suppose to login right now?
Is this after the install?
Try the new live ISO before anything else
Second option after you've gone through the dropdown menu's on bazzite.gg
this is live version
no
how are you trying to install it? dual boot?
with usb on ssd
Full wipe of the SSD?
Or also with Windows on it?
windows was on it but i deleted everything now
in my boot menu i have like 4 fedora option idk why
and if i click on fedora in boot menu nothing happens
can you response quicker im waiting and didnt install windows or anything else till now
if its the live version, try the installer only iso, and if it doesnt work try fedora kinoite iso
the error 1 code is usually partition issues
If you already wiped everything, make sure the ssd is completely unpartitioned
i did install it on only iso and didnt work either i downloaded nobara previously and had a error too
and try to recreate the gpt partition table
can you go into the live iso and type
lsblk and show the output of that?
you can just open a terminal in the live iso
don't have to go TTYah i was under the assumption it was in a fully wiped disk + auto partition
make sure there's no leftover fat32/esp partition that has leftover fedora grub files
that 99% the time the reason this error appears
Open Live ISO->Terminal->
lsblkokay
checking now
well there's your problem
what other OS do you have installed right now?
your entire disk is supposed to be empty right, you have backed up everything?
If you're sure you don't need anything kept on that SSD you can do
sudo wipefs -a /dev/sda
that will wipe ALL partitions on /dev/sda (the 250GB SSD). then reboot the Live ISO completely.
Then try to install again using automatic partitioning.same error again
okay
do the wipefs step again
lets do manual partitioning
ok
if you know how to partition manually this is the way
when you make btrfs partition, just make it without anything (no /) and then make the mount points in the new tab that appears
is this normal?
your entries aren't getting cleared properly
odd
normally your bios will clear old entries
it can be fixed later manually with efibootmgr
and about manual partitioning the format efi system partition doesn't appear i tried this before
use gparted
to make the esp
Gparted->partition->fat32->flags->boot+esp
and then "Apply all operations"
then restart the installer
you can then click the esp in the installer and add
/boot/efi as mount pointthere is no available option when i click on partition
do i need to make partition table? if yes what type should i choose?
New
no you just gotta press on New
oh right yeah maybe Device->Create Partition Table->GPT
there is no flag in it
correct?
don't do this in gparted no
all you do is create a fat32 partition with no name or label
then you create it
afterwards you change the flag
Right Click->Manage Flags
After that you open the installer again. And then you change the mount point in the installer on the partition you just made.
cant manage the flag
make sure its created
apply all operations
then try to restart gparted see if you can manage flags
error
i repeat the process and still this error
huh wtf
do you have the installer closed?
you can't have it open
it will keep your devices busy
no
it wasn't open
i restarted and tried third time and its ok now
im on manual partitioning now what should i do?
Edit
and then Mount point
/boot/efi
for the rest follow advanced partitioning
Huh
You made the partition span the entire disk
š
it needs to only be 300MB
you said to no to touch anything else
well, obviously you can't have your efi partition span the entire disk or else you can't make the other partitions
just do what you did again and this time make it 300MB
ok
After that you should be able to follow the above partitioning scheme inside the installer.
keep mount point btrfs empty and then make the subvolumes on the new tab that appears
i didnt understand what you said but lets see what happens
@Zeglius look at this
that is cursed automatic partitioning
definitely a bug
Seems so yeah, weird
i assume that is the reason why its failing
i used the gparted method and it works fine but its annoying you have to exit installer open gparted open installer and continue and possibly even require a reboot in between
its not that annoying if you knew how much time i spend to fix this issue instead of asking someone
let me know if you're still getting stuck somewhere or don't understand
installing right now
awesome
if it doesn't instantly fail that means it worked
same error again
okay weird
can you copy the logs to usb?
or just post them here
after it fails
assuming you can still access the live desktop
Log files
/tmp/anaconda.log
the general installation information, particularly the step changes.
/tmp/storage.log
storage devices scan and manipulation (hard drives, partitions, LVM, RAID), partitioning
/tmp/program.log
calls to external programs, their output
/tmp/packaging.log
DNF package installation messages
/tmp/syslog
hardware-related system messages
hey maybe its not a bad idea to add a script that will post the logs to paste service after install fails
on the desktop for example
"Upload logs"
With what internet connection?
there's no internet connection in live iso?
š®
thats a bummer
I mean
You can connect to the internet
Is it just that not everyone will have access or they simply won't know they need to connect
well if its wired then its just a matter of clicking on connect in tray
As for partitioning the config is the same than the base fedora kinoite
So probably the ostreecontainer command shitting itself
Probably we can fix it by switching to bootc when fedora 43 hits
Only thing i can think of here is to try the non-live old ISO @z2xc
or installing Fedora Kinoite and then rebasing
those are two options
you want log files or not?
sure
might help figure out what is going on
but you don't have to, im not sure if it will be helpful in fixing your particular issue right now
i just want you to have a working bazzite install
best course of action is trying another iso
which one?
safest route is fedora kinoite
and then rebasing
Fedora Kinoite
We're so glad you've decided to give Fedora Kinoite a try. We know you'll love it.
what that mean?
it means you swap from kinoite to bazzite without reinstalling
that's the benefit of fedora atomic
bazzite=fedora atomic
ok
but my internet is too slow need 1 hour just for the download
if there anything i need to know when i download fedora atomic write it here i will install it at morning
If you manage to install Fedora Kinoite, here's a rebase guide

Rebasing to Bazzite From Fedora Kinoite (or Fedora Silverblue)
In this video we'll be learning how to pin images in Fedora Atomic desktops and we'll be looking at how to rebase to Bazzite from Fedora Kinoite (or Silverblue)
Note: This is the same video as before, but I have made the audio a little louder as the original was too quiet.

this error with fedora
i also tried 2 time with custom partitioning but still same error
so why its optional to connect to the internet?
another error
second try with custom partitioning showed this error
What are you using to write the iso to the USB?
etchdroid
drofus doesn't work on mobile
for bazzite i used rufus on pc but after that i used etchdroid on mobile
are you checking something or just offline?
use something else, maybe rufus or balena etcher
its etcher but on mobile what the difference?
Can cause install errors
You can also try another usb
i did inatall bazzite before with another usb but doesnt work either
also with etchdroid?
try to create the live usb using a pc
The difference is one is supported, and the other not
Another option you can try is to just format the usb fat32 and copy over all files
But not sure how possible this is from mobile
no i did it with rufus on pc
i dont think it would work
You can extract the contents of the ISO on a fat32 partition. Your PC bios will recognize the /efi folder in it and boot the ISO
This is called "EFI boot" vs "ISO boot"
Almost every iso file contains an EFI folder. If it does then a fat32 partition should in most cases do the trick. š
Only time it won't is if there's a file larger than 4GB.
the file is more than 4gb
@Zeglius Are there now files larger than 4GB on the new live ISO?
I'm gonna check it myself. That would be painful if there's no more way to boot the ISO in EFI mode
oh wow it's 7.7GB
well RIP
I guess that is out of the question then
The squashfs
no way to split it?
or would that introduce complication?
i did put fedora in usb but it has error
for installing
also happens with other distro like ubuntu or endeavoros?
I think you need to try flashing with Fedora Media Writer on a desktop, not mobile.
Sorry if that may not seem like a viable option
this is the error
i did install windows 3 time and changing it to bazzite and nobara the last time i did install games on like 150 gb on windows but i did change it to bazzite bcuz i thought the support can help me with that
yeah no that is corrupted
cause i copied with zarchiver
can i do it on live bazzite?
with 2 usb?
you can try doing it with the old non-live iso
that one doesn't have files over 4GB
it didnt even pass the boot menu
need to be gpt formatted
not mbr
it works for me
bro i scrwed up can you help me?
i dont have any desktop or anything i was installing but suddenly it restarted and now doesn't show the ssd what should i do?
it doesnt show my ssd even in the boot menu
i do even wipe all the device connect to pc but nothing happened
that means there's no bootloader on the ssd
you really need a desktop to prepare a usb-stick
doing this from mobile is unsupported
i can get my friend laptop tomorrow
can you tell me what to do when i get the laptop?
Fedora Media Writer and a usb stick
my friend pc is windows i cant change it to another thing is there another way?
try wiping the target with something like gparted live
Fedora media writer has a windows version too.
i'd recommend ventoy for that
i had good experiences with it
Wouldn't recommend ventoy for the new live isos
i mean't for windows only
it worked for me
oh wait i probably just misunderstood the question, sorry
