Installer won't complete

[Arriu]

Hi, I'm running the void-live-x86_64-musl-20230628-xfce.iso. After booting, I'm logging out, since it auto signs in with anon account, and logging back in as root. Everything seemingly works fine until the script get to line 2927. I'm getting the following errors, which I have diligently typed over:

I've checked dmesg but there doesn't seem to be any relevant information in there. Any idea on what could be going wrong?

Hello, thank you for reporting this issue and thank you for having diligently typed it here :sweat_smile: !

From what I'm reading from the docs, now the xchroot tool is directly used to chroot into the Void folder. This is now the manual method, slightly different from what I've implemented in my script.

It shouldn't be a big problem making these changes, but I don't guarantee to be fast.

Thanks for your super quick response. I figured out that adding mkdir -p /mnt/$dir between lines 2927 and 2928 resolved the first part of the error. I Looked into your response, and even though iId probably eventually get there, I think it's time that I admit that going through the trouble of doing FDE from a script that I insufficiently understand defeats the point from a security perspective. I'll figure out another way that doesnt' require so much trust. Anyway thanks for your efforts!

You can also follow my gist! It's not as up to date as the script (missing zswap and uefistub for example) but the script is basically following the same commands of the gist. Maybe it could be a good start!

I will definitely fix this issue, but for sure, the script also needs a good rewrite sooner or later!

Hi @Arriu , commit 74ad30e should fix the issue you were facing. I tried the script with the same iso you were using and everything went fine!

If you're still interested in using my script, as always please use the latest version from the main branch, as stated in the README! :smile:

Small update on this: the first time I didn't read the iso name really well, I'm sorry.

Only today I realized that you were trying to install the musl variant and that part of installation was broken due to the fact that some void-repo packages are not available in the musl repo, so the installation of the base packages was not completing.

Commit c1fb1f5 should finally fix the issue even for musl variant.

And also now the script has been completely rewritten! :smile:

Thank you very much for your efforts. I'll have a look at the changes in the script and will try to learn from them.
