Every installer fails

[jnordwick]

i choose entire disk and they all fail with boost.python error in job mount. i have two drives and i chose entire drive for my main nvme.

Please provide from the live USB your:

Post also the output of

sudo fdisk -l
lsblk -f

Why do you post pictures (almost unreadable for me from the mobile phone) instead of text, that can be copied from terminal, since you seem to have a working WiFi connection?
Anyway, I'd first make sure you're booting in UEFI mode and not CSM legacy or similar. Then I'd try with manual partitioning, selecting /dev/nvme0n1p1 to install the bootloader and creating a single btrfs partition on the rest of that disk.
Additionally, what is the error message after the one you mentioned? E.g. soemthing like /boot/efi doesn't look like an EFI partition or maybe no space left on device, or what?

My eye sight is already ruined since long time.
But I also think of our dear backups.

Thanks

plan foiled. damn

Well, someone else will try to read no?
Starting from the beginning they will see the pictures before the text

Back to the error, a long time ago, when I was doing a lot of distro hopping, I had a similar problem (that's why I asked if "no space left on device" appeared), which I solved by deleting the many dump files I had (rm /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/dump-* as root).

still fails by hand, 512mb boot fat32, and 1 btrfs root

<div><strong>Command '['umount', '-v', '/tmp/calamares-root-yqlp1dfw']' returned non-zero exit status 32.</strong></div><div>None</div><div><br/>Traceback:</div><div><pre>File &quot;/usr/lib/calamares/modules/mount/main.py&quot;, line 251, in run
    mount_partition(root_mount_point, partition, partitions)

i even left 60gb on device unused (will encrypt home dir after install working)

2 weeks ago i installed dragonized on this machine and went fine.

If you are trying to do a clean install, wipe all partitions of a drive with GParted, create new GPT partition table and try installing again.

found the issue. i had an sd card plugged in and it was confusing the installer. while i kept chosing nvme it was trying to unmount the card i think. after pulling the sd card, went fine.

typing with one arm and i accidentally removed wrong post. the other currently broken. ooops.

ive been looking for that sd card too. found it! lol.

HT: @mrvictory and @filo for just bouncing ideas around. literally wouldnt have figured it out even if not exact answers.

All in all, you can also change the headline
Not every installer fails, just me.
By the way.
Unfortunately, the unnecessary images are not deleted from the forum and backups, they are just no longer visible here.
