Error whilst trying to install
question
Hello, I'm trying to install bazzite but I keep getting an error. Could someone help me please? When I open the installer it says "An error occured during installation. Please report this issue to the developers" with a huge log text.
Solution
SYMPTOM: Installation failed: Rescanning of the disks failed
PROBLEM: Leftover lvm2 partition was blocking the install
SOLUTION: wipe partition signature with sudo wipefs -a
SYMPTOM: Black screen on live iso boot with mouse cursor
PROBLEM: Nvidia driver shenanigans
SOLUTION: select Basic graphics mode
SYMPTOM: Installation failed, installer cannot continue due to a critical error (error code 1)
PROBLEM: leftover data from previous Linux installations
SOLUTION: delete ubuntu from EFI, clean up efibootmgr to remove defunct entries, delete second EFI partition from old Arch install, delete half-installed bazzite, run installer again
