https://build.cachyos.org/ISO/testing/

Please use this ISO. A offical Release will come tomorrow

vnepogodin commented 1 year ago

@spsf64 that's due to our key expired reboot and run before launching installer:

sudo pacman-key --recv-keys F3B607488DB35A47 --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com
sudo pacman-key --lsign-key F3B607488DB35A47

or just use offline install that also works, but requires doing same step after

will release ISO soon with the new keyrings

@ptr1337 @vnepogodin , thanks for the prompt reply, will try the new ISO and report back! Forgot to add, I used ventoy to boot, any restriction?

spsf64 commented 1 year ago

Ok, tested the new ISO, installation finished without any problem, but disk won't boot. Does not even show up in bios/uefi I tried to install to a 128GB (/sda) + refind + luks + xfce This is the lsblk -f from my booted arch nvme

Please try to not use encryption with refind or use systemd-boot. Paritioning seems fine from your side.

I need to test refind encryption. systemd-boot works fine

spsf64 commented 1 year ago

Thanks, will check again soon. I was trying to test refind...

I have the same issue here. I coose: Autopartition with xfs, wayfire, Kernel linux-cachyos-bore, no additional packages

Installer quit with an error message 'The command <pre>pacman</pre> returned error code 1.'

I tried your workaround with rebooting the live system, adding the new pacman keys and afterwards installing the system, but looks like it's not working for me.

Ventoy does not problems

I think you can close this issue as the ISO worked properly, maybe put a note in download section about the use of "refind + encryption" problem. Thank you

Since someone reported once that encryption worked, we kept it enabled. But we can just disable it for the next release :)

spsf64 commented 1 year ago

You mean, disable refind? Or disable encryption? Let me try again a new install with systemd-boot+encryption... Will report back

Disabling encryption just for refind. We can disable it in the refind config :)

systemd-boot encryption should work fine.

Ok, good idea.

I just did an install to a external usb flash drive with systemd-boot+luks(ext4)+xfce and everything worked fine, it is very fast, portable and secure! Thanks for your help.
