Calamares not working on 210418 build of Garuda Sway

I just tried to install the 0418 release of Garuda Sway on my well-supported laptop and got the following error:

No installation.log was created.

Also, for some odd reason wireless networking is disabled. That happened on the previous build as well. It can be manually enabled.

Please post:

What method did you use to burn your ISO, and did you checksum your download?

You can install with Calamares in offline mode if your internet connection is not working.

I just tried to install the 0418 release of Garuda Sway on my old PC (nvidia).
nvidia didn't work, free driver boot into desktop but I got only Blinking top bar, rest are black.
TTY2 garuda/garuda login failed, wrong passwd.

WTH ???

I did not check the sha, wait . Is ok.

I used balena etcher on Arcolinux to burn the ISO to a USB drive.

Calamares fails instantly. No opportunity to install. I would post a screenshot but that is verbotten.

Yes. Apparently garuda/garuda is not used here. The same issue happens if the screen locks.

On very old AMD PC, no wallpaper, calamares open full screen.

Matches exactly with my experience.

Any idea what the problem is? I know nothing about calamares. @librewish changed something on gitlab in the Iso-Profiles could that have solved it?

From what I can see, he took my suggestion about not using fish as a login shell since it is not POSIX-compliant. Maybe try a new build with those changes?

Calamares worked as expected. Wireless is still disabled by default, but that is another issue.

Thank you a lot for testing btw! It is very appreciated and very useful!
