Installing Bazzite
Hi, I tried to install Bazzite, but it doesnt wanna boot.
Before this, i had dual boot Fedora KDE and Windows, both were om different disks.
So I wanted to replace Fedora KDE with Bazzite, I ran the installation with no problems, but right after finishing i noticed something was different.
It wanted to perform MOK managment or whatever. Ive never seen this so clicked the boot button.
That lead to Grub where was a Fedora Bazzite 2 times (one that seemed to do something and the other saying it doesnt exist)
The first Bazzite in Grub loaded the menu for password (that one thats used for disk encryption). When i put there the right password, it was just loading endlessly, so i switched to terminal output to see bunch of errors i dont understand.

I also noticed that in bios there is both fedora and bazzite - both do the same thing, my previous os is entierly gone
If you install Silverblue or Kinoite, does that work?
If it does, you can rebase to Bazzite and it will skip the install woes
Sometimes the installer can be finicky, but it's good to eliminate variables
didnt try that and have no way of doing it since i only have a bootable flash drive with bazzite installation
It's worth flashing either of them and trying the install there
That way you can see if it's an issue with the installer, Atomic Fedora as a whole, or Bazzite itself
ugh
okay, i hope windows manager will work or i am stuck definetly 🤣🤣
Well worst case scenario you can boot into a live USB environment from another distro and flash from there
It requires a second USB drive but they're dirt cheap
i have more of those, i just need an os to download an iso
windows seems to work
at least i can do that now
Good to hear at least
good thing i havent ditch it entierly
From the logs you provided it seems that the issue lies with luks encryption failing to boot the encrypted disk
Which could happen for a variety of reasons
yeah, but i have no idea why and how to fix it
Yeah that's why I suggest doing a fresh install with Kinoite and seeing if the same thing happens
It's easy to rebase to Bazzite if installing Kinoite works
downloading the iso... my internet isnt the best
Not the worst speeds I've seen lol
well the speed isnt the worst thing, its the reliability, it sometimes goes down for like up to a minute
which is really annoying mostly while gaming 😄
