I get a weird error whenever I'm installing Bazzite
I configure 3 partitions on my boot drive, /boot, /home, and /, 1 partition on my 4 TB HDD /bulk, and a partition on my 4 TB SSD /game. I start installation, and it gets up to the left screenshot and hangs for like 10 minutes before erroring on the second screenshot. When I look at the error log it's a bunch of python errors followed by "Operation Denied: /mnt/sysroot/bulk". I'm wondering if I'm not being allowed to install Bazzite because of a Python error or because there's an issue with one of my non-boot drives.

for further context I clicked all three drives in the automatic partitioning section not realizing it would consolidate all three drives into a single partition and i quit out
and went back in a second time to separate the partitions into each drive
and im installing the bazzite deck version because i like decky loader
and emudeck
i sort of solved it
i had to erase the partitions from my two 4 TB drives
but now its just failing to write the bootloader configuration
There is a bug in Fedoras installer if you leave the efi partition and i finds an existing fedora folder there, it fails to write the bootloader config information. It's quite annoying as this is the last step in the install. On other configurations, you can easily get past this by just nuking the efi partition, but I'm not sure if you can do that on the deck.
im using a normal PC
i restarted the installer, went to the installation destination
selected the 500 GB drive
Lol I guess I should have picked that up with the 5GB of storage
wiped it all and set it to install in that drive
now i wait
holding thumbs 🤞 . Good luck
it hangs at the "Deployment Starting: /run/install/repo/bazzite-deck-stable" part
for like 5 minutes
every single time
it finally installed
Yay! And booting fine?
I got into the setup, rebooted to apply changes, and now it's just sitting on a black screen
Nevermind
this is normal, since a normal distro install will install packages like "1 out of 1256" they can track progress somewhat
we however are installing 1 image, so 1 package
we can only track "1 of 1" so we do not have any way to show proper progress (plus ostree has no progress tracking in general)
