Install fails with /dev/sdc (the usb stick!) still in use #12

Closed PatrickLohan closed 2 years ago

Failure happens when trying to partition on multi distro disk. I have tried only having a root partition and also including an extra /boot/efi (I know, this shouldn't affect but should try as many things as possible within reason). Both times I have received an 'Unexpected problem' window with a stacktrace. I don't know how to copy this over to github or whatever, so the relevant part, I think, is that it errors out on the USB still in use.

Any ideas of how I can share the full stacktrace/error message if needed?

So I fixed it. It was either down to using ventoy or because the other os had the efi boot flags. I don't know which one because I tried a USB with only your iso on it, and also switched off the flags for the other efi boot.

Thanks for all the work you put in to helping others into guix/emacs/lisp
