Artix won't install on EXT4, BTRFS & F2FS

Hey guys, I recently got a harddrive for my Toshiba laptop & tried to install Artix, but I ran into a familiar error.
https://artixlinux.org/forum/index.php?topic=155  <-- is related, I think.
The previous problem ended up being solved on my end by updating the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist & adding in the new mirrors & running a sudo pacman -Syyu, but it would seem that this is not working this time around... The computer I am trying to install Artix on is a Toshiba Satellite L850D - I have Artix installed on my L745D no problem though, only difference between the two is that L850D is UEFI & L745D isn't. for some reason the USB is recognized as /dev/sda & the HDD is recognized as /dev/sdb, but I'm gonna assume that shouldn't really make much of a difference... Right?

And when I try to do F2FS, if I open up gparted afterwards it'll show a EXT4 filesystem where the F2FS should've been.

This is the error when I choose EXT4:

Installation Failed
Boost.Python error in job "machineid".
<class 'subprocess.CalledProcessError'>
Command 'dbus-uuidgen --ensure' returned non-zero exit status 127.
Traceback:
File "/usr/lib/calamares/modules/machineid/main.py", line 64, in run
  check_target_env_call(["dbus-uuidgen", "--ensure"])
File "<string>", line 2, in <module>

This is the error when I choose F2FS:

Installation Failed

The installer failed to create file system on partition /dev/sdb1
===================================================
Command: mkfs.f2fs /dev/sdb1
===================================================
F2FS-tools: mkfs.f2fs Ver: 1.9.0 (2017-09-21) Info: Disable heap-based policy info: Debug level = 0 info:
Label = Info: Trim is enabled /dev/sdb1 appears to contain an existing filesystem (ext4). Use the -f option to force overwrite.

And, when I try BTRFS, then I get this error:

Installation Failed

Boost.Python error in job "mount".

<class 'subprocess.CalledProcessError'>

I'm trying to do an EFI installation on a computer that has no operating system. It does not have Windows on it.
I'm just supposed to make my partitions as normal & make a FAT32 /boot/efi partition, right? I think I'm doing this right.... Am I missing something? I'm going to attetmpt XFS, JFS & Reiser to see what happens, as some of the error messages are different.

For XFS:

Installation Failed
Boost.Python error in job "machineid".

<class 'subprocess.CalledProcessError'>
Command 'dbus-uuidgen --ensure' returned non-zero exit status 127.
Traceback:
File "/usr/lib/calamares/modules/machineid/main.py", line 64, in run
  check_target_env_call(["dbus-uuidgen", "--ensure"])
File "<string>", line 2, in <module>

for JFS:

Boost.Python error in job "machineid".

<class 'subprocess.CalledProcessError'>
Command 'dbus-uuidgen --ensure' returned non-zero exit status 127.
Traceback:
File "/usr/lib/calamares/modules/machineid/main.py", line 64, in run
  check_target_env_call(["dbus-uuidgen", "--ensure"])
File "<string>", line 2, in <module>

and,
For ReiserFS its the exact same as those ^

Its probably that there is relevant information in the lines previous to the log that you are pasting, can you upload the whole log?

I don't know what you mean by "the whole log", these are just the errors that pop up...

Hello,

I can confirm this error:
Code: [Select]
Installation Failed
Boost.Python error in job "machineid".
<class 'subprocess.CalledProcessError'>
Command 'dbus-uuidgen --ensure' returned non-zero exit status 127.
Traceback:
File "/usr/lib/calamares/modules/machineid/main.py", line 64, in run
  check_target_env_call(["dbus-uuidgen", "--ensure"])
File "<string>", line 2, in <module>

I've tried to install from a Stick with current lxqt iso
1) I've select whole ssd for installation with automatic partitioning and get this error
2) I've select whole ssd and do a manual partitioning with GPT, bios_grub, ext4 and swap and get this error

I'll try it with another stick amd will give further feedback.

Kind regards,
  Holger

Sorry, but also with another USB-Stick no success, same error.

Hmm, is there a possibility to install artix without calamares?

Please try to do with the installation again. The issue was more likely coming from this and should have been fixed by now...

The lxqt iso is broken today because Criss Cromer's signature is wrong.
The file in question is "libxfont2" and is in the world repo.
Please Fix.
If I can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate!

After numerous unsuccessful attempts to install I gave up and tried instead to convert my Manjaro OpenRc partition to Artix .
Everything seemed to work except I was unable to install Artix keyring due to Criss Crommer's signature error.
What is the fix for that?

Can you at least give the full output of pacman failed command here. Is it invalid error or marginal error?

@7of9 @kenny_w Please enable world-testing in your /etc/pacman.conf before doing installations again..
