Bare Metal Encrypted UEFI Instalation FAILED

Bare metal installation attempt ThinkPad T420

With the error message : Boost Python error in job "luksopenswaphook.cfg"

My first attempt with the same result using the Gnome Minimal iso from SourceForge
Second attempt with the latest nightly for BSPWM from SourceForge

The install works without encryption in both Legacy and UEFI

Look forward to your response, thank you

I think i got the problem

We miss mkinitcpio-openswap in the root packages

This will be solved in next release

Thank you for letting us know the error

Mind sending me a link for the test build?
I’m heading out of town in a few days and don’t want to travel with an unsecured laptop.

Thanks

This one has calamares 3.2.30

https://garudalinux.in/iso/garuda/gnome/lite/200912/garuda-gnome-lite-200912-linux-zen.iso

Tell me if you encounter any trouble while installing
Although there should be none

The iso worked!

However, note that a bug with Calamares indicates a failed installation after the initialization of the partitions. This is easily fixed by starting the installation over and choosing to use an existing partition instead of erasing the disk. Afterwards the installation proceeds as normal.

Fantastic work thank you

Hello,

I attempted to install both KDE editions with encryption and got this same error. Are those ISOs due for a refresh soon to address this issue? Thank you.
