Orchid - Manual partitioning fails #432

Open btreut opened 2 weeks ago

btreut commented 2 weeks ago

When I try to use manual partitioning an error occurs after proceeding see also on discord https://discord.com/channels/1023243680829681704/1296752082061365288

BTW: After having selected & finished the manual partition layout the automatic "use complete disk" remains selected, but on proceeding the manually selected layout is reported and used.

Is it useful to follow these instructions for getting/providing more detailed information about the problem?

First update: when I added swap by deleting/re-creating sda4 I re-created sda4 wrongly with the type lvm instead of btrfs. I was mislead by the fact that sda4 had type lvm before I deleted it. With sda4 formatted as btrfs in gparted the installation proceeds, but crashes later, when it tries to set up swap.

Second update: re-installing once more with manual partitioning, this time without requesting swap on sda5 but preserving sda5. This installation finishes normally.

Following this time these instructions for the last two attempts, I was able to save the logs. Should I upload them?
