Cannot exit installer at partition select #62

Closed ppenguin closed 3 years ago

ppenguin commented 3 years ago

I am installing over a Manjaro install with LVM on LUKS. Since this is not (yet) supported in the installer, (latest) at the point where I have to choose the root partition I need to open another terminal to decrypt the LUKS device, before being able to see it listed as a target partition.

I seem to have no way to remove focus from the partition choice dialog not even Ctrl-C works. The only way appears to be enter a real terminal outside of X and do what I need to do (install cryptsetup and decrypt block device).

Benni is currently giving the installer a major rework. I'd be surprised if the issue is still there in beta 6. Feel free to re-open, if.

@con-f-use Now that's what I call a fast reply :smiley: Just for my current attempt: am I going to succeed installing by preparing decrypt manually, killing and rerunning the installer, or will I have many more issues because of this down the line? (I decided to go all-in with the beta on my laptop as my daily driver, call me crazy :wink: )

I can't guarantee anything, but if the install succeeds and the system boots, then there shouldn't be any other problems. Ah, and by the way, instantWM ist the window manager repo. Installer related don't usually feel at home here :wink:

The repo for the installer is https://github.com/instantOS/instantARCH Not a big deal, we're not swamped with issues here but just keep this in mind when anything else comes up :) Btw, couldn't you just decrypt the device prior to starting the installation?
