Manual partitioning fails #2414

Closed holmanb closed 6 months ago

holmanb commented 7 months ago

What happened?

Despite having a /boot partition, an esp (/boot/efi), a swap partition and a /home partition, the manual installer doesn't allow installation to continue.

What was expected?

The desktop installer should allow manual partition schemes.

Steps to reproduce

Despite having all of the necessary partitions, the installer doesn't allow this partitioning scheme. Screenshot from 2024-02-01 07-04-22

Additional context

No response

It looks like there is no partition with / as a mount point.

Correct, but this requirement isn't displayed by the installer. Some indicator of requirements before moving to the next stage would benefit the user.

Right, good suggestion. I've opened an issue for that in the new provisioning project. Closing this here, as the original report isn't an actual bug :)
