Linux Lite 8.0 RC1 Released
#41

I used "Erase disk", so everything was done by the installer. Haven't tested manual partitioning and/or encryption yet.
I've saved the calamaris logs but didn't get around to evaluate them yet despite that calamaris didn't throw any GUI errors anyway.

It hangs, no error message, no time out. When I - after quite a while - press the power button, the machine immediately switches off.
If I get around to it later, I'll reinstall GRUB and see whether that makes a difference.

As assumed it had to do with the bootloader.

After the following steps the installed system booted successfully:
1- boot Live OS
2- mount partitions accordingly
3- chroot into installed system
4- mount efivarfs
5- (re)install GRUB
6- update GRUB
7- exit chroot and umount partitions
8- reboot

I'm going to release an RC2 soon to address these issues and I have a new application that has been a long time coming.

Thanks, Jerry.
I'll hold back with further testing and wait for RC2.

First...thanks for all you do! Unfortunately I had the same or similar installation issues like others reported. Ventoy, Balena, Fedora, Rufus no go. Set up partitions as listed after auto failed.  No go again.

But...previous versions installed fine (did a couple of sanity checks with 7.8) so looking forward to the RC2 after this hiccup. The live environment has been great so far and really do appreciate you guys. Cheers.

Just an FYI - RC1 has become quite redundant. Updates won't work and a few other things so testing RC1 is not necessary as of today. RC2 should be out by the end of the week and it's the only build that matters going forward.
