Default screen resolution in virtual machine too small for installer #2076

Open huuxfluux opened 2 years ago

huuxfluux commented 2 years ago

Distribution (run cat /etc/os-release): image

Related Application and/or Package Version (run apt policy $PACKAGE NAME): Install Pop!_OS (don't know which one to pick from the apt policy list)

Issue/Bug Description: Can't pick language from menue when i install VM.

Steps to reproduce (if you know): Normal VM boot from .iso. Try to install, display setting seems to be at 800x600. No way to go on from the point of language pick. No "next" or "select" button appears.

Expected behavior: A "select" or "next" button should appear.

Other Notes: Fix seems to be to fix display setting, but there should be a way to scroll.

The "select" button seems to appear when i've change from 800x600 to 1024x768. Im just thinking, this might throw people off when like me wanting to try it out in VM.

I am curious on the error stack trace, could you run sudo RUST_BACKTRACE=full ./usr/bin/io.elementary.installer ?

In my case, it is because there's f2fs partition, kinda weird it exited without giving any information at first. https://github.com/pop-os/distinst/blob/fcb482bc7cd7a8f92fc3ff6607e2c6d21caeba51/crates/external/src/block.rs#L132 image

It carried f2fs by default but yea, maybe distinst does not support it yet. image

image Might need extra careful on this part, since it has same colour.

@ii64 This issue (#2076) doesn't sound like it's reporting a crash in the installer, it's just referring to the default screen resolution in a virtual machine being too low to see/click the Select button.

Your issue regarding the installer crashing when an F2FS partition is present sounds like https://github.com/pop-os/installer/issues/230.

Gosh, sorry. Thanks for reminding me.
