    "path": "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/archinstall/profiles/desktop.py"

change desktop to a desktop env profile name here eg: gnome

gchamon · 2021-07-18T14:09:35Z

is that what is expected from the users to do, or is archinstall supposed to do that when we select the desktop environment? (in my case, I tried KDE, Deepin and minimal with the same errors)

no, this is not expected, we had a discussion a while back on this, I think I missed implementing it😅, my bad, will start on it now edit: saw that I did implement it, it should've worked, looking into this

gchamon · 2021-07-18T14:30:57Z

@l4zy0n3 what can I do to help?

l4zy0n3 · 2021-07-18T14:39:13Z

@l4zy0n3 what can I do to help?

can you list the exact steps you followed, it will be a great help

gchamon · 2021-07-18T14:44:23Z

Using virtualbox and latest archiso:

boot into archlinux live
pacman -Sy git python-pip python-setuptools
git clone https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall.git
cd archinstall && python setup.py install && cd ..
archinstall
follow onscreen guided installation, selecting:
- us keyboard
- us mirrors
- select /dev/sda partition
- btrfs filsystem with encryption
- root and super user
- desktop profile
- deepin desktop
- VMWare/VirtualBox graphics driver
- pipewire
- linux-lts kernel
- no extra packages
- use NetworkManager
- in my case, used America/Sao_Paulo timezone
- enable NTP sync
accept the generated json config file and wait for the installation process

following these steps the generated JSON contains the path to desktop.py only:

gchamon · 2021-07-18T14:55:30Z

running it with the manually patched json. Will post other errors, if any.

gchamon · 2021-07-18T14:57:29Z

one detail, if I leave installation for whatever reason, I can't run it again until I close the btrfs filesystem with umount /mnt && cryptsetup close luksloop. Do you think this justifies opening a new issue?

gchamon · 2021-07-18T15:25:38Z

No errors with archinstall 2.3.0 after modifying the JSON.
Tried it with the latest release 2.2.0 and I get an error informing lightdm missing, but it was apparently fixed in dev

try this, cd archinstall then run pip install --upgrade . then do python -m archinstall

l4zy0n3 · 2021-07-18T16:01:41Z

Apparently installing using setuptools does not copy the example/guided.py to the correct location

RustyRaptor · 2021-08-17T18:50:29Z

Is this the same issue happening in #606

svartkanin · 2023-04-30T09:26:33Z

@Torxed we can close this as it should be resolved with the new profile manger

gchamon · 2023-08-14T11:33:44Z

@svartkanin since #1604 has been merged, can this issue be closed? I know I am being a little lazy here, I could well just try to reproduce this issue and see what is what, but if you have this information easily available, it is faster to just ask. If not, I can try to reproduce this later, with the latest version of archinstall

svartkanin · 2023-08-14T15:17:51Z

@gchamon yes I think we can definitely close this. Unfortunately I don't have any super powers so we'll have to delegate to @Torxed :)
