Installer immediately fails after confirmation

[bi0shacker001]

I can get through the entire process of configuring the installation, but a split second after I confirm it, the carousel launches, then I get thid error message: There are no other logs, that's the entirety of the message. And it happens on every version of the installer.

The system works fine on other linux distros, boots the installer fine, but this error occurs on every version of the iso that was downloadable as of 11 est this morning.

Hi, I was discussing the same issue with @matbme yesterday (when testing the latest build). Can you try rerunning the installer by typing vanilla-installer in the Console? The installation would probably complete this time.

I'm uncertain how to get a terminal window in the limited session the installer launches, but logging out to force an immediate log back in and relaunch the installer doesn't correct the issue. Should I be seeing a full gnome session for the installer? Because I have never had a full session

You can open Settings from the Quick Settings panel in the top right corner, then in the Keyboard panel create a new custom shortcut for the terminal [the command is kgx]. Then execute the shortcut key combination once which will open the terminal. Then you can type vanilla-installer to run it again.

It would also be useful to know the output of lsblk after the command fails.

Hi All — I can replicate this bug:

from terminal output:
