F2FS installation fails

Hey guys, so I decided to try re-installing Artix on my main PC with F2FS, but I've run into an error.
Its failed & given the same error twice now, so I decided I'd try to enable netinstall=yes to see whether that'll make it work or not.
Still waiting for results from the netinstall=yes way, netinstall=no gives me this error every time:

Edit: Yep, at 88% it fails when doing the netinstall=yes too, same error....... I thought F2FS was fixed???? :/

Code: [Select]
Boost.Python error in job "bootloader".
<class 'subprocess.CalledProcessError'>
Command 'grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi
--bootloader-id=Artix --force' returned non-zero exit status 1.
Traceback:

  File "/usr/lib/calamares/modules/bootloader/main.py", line 319, in

  File "/usr/lib/calamares/modules/bootloader/main.py", line 244, in install_grub
    "--force"])

  File "<string>", line 2, in <module>

Not sure if this is relevant or not but figured I would include it anyways...

I also running artix on f2fs, but installed it via chroot and booted directly via efistub,
if you installed artix using calamares installer, it will automatically install grub bootloader,
in that case, you might need to chroot and manually edit grub.cfg, just follow this Arch wiki manual,

Hey mate, I'm having some trouble with figuring this out, I know how to install Arch Linux on non-UEFI systems, how do I do it without formatting my FAT32 EFI drive? I'm kinda confused... where do I mount the /boot/efi drive to?? I've searched up like 3 or 4 different guides but I'm still confused... one guide said to mount the EFI partition at /mnt/esp but idk if that's right or not... 

Do I just mount the EFI drive to /mnt/boot ? Is that correct? I'm afraid of messing up my EFI drive because I have Windows installed on this PC for gaming.


Code: [Select]
genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
bash: /mnt/etc/fstab: Permission denied
[artix@artix ~]$ sudo !!
sudo  genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
bash: /mnt/etc/fstab: Permission denied

and I'm also getting, once chrooted,

Code: [Select]
pacman -S grub
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...

Packages (1) grub-2:2.02-4

Well, that was the reason why im booting my artix via efistub and write boot entry directly using efibootmgr,
im not really know how grub work(i dont use it), but on efistub, all my kernel image and initramfs are on /mnt/boot.

After installing via chroot (basestrap /mnt base efibootmgr +(any other package you need)

Chroot into your /mnt and configure all the other thing, hostname, locale, etc..,

lastly type this in terminal in chroot

efibootmgr --disk /dev/sda --part 1 --create --label "Artix Linux" --loader \vmlinuz-linux --unicode "root=/dev/sda2 rw initrd=/initramfs-linux.img"

U need to adjust your disk name and partition, for me, my /boot(kernel+initramfs) are on /dev/sda and partition 1, so efibootmgr --disk /dev/sda --part 1 blablaba,

and make sure you specify your root(/) path correctly for me its /dev/sda2, so root=/dev/sda2

You might need to read this if you are using windows8/10 and enabled "Secure Boot", on windows 7, no need to do this

ok but I'm still confused, where do I mount the EFI drive when I do this????

It STILL won't let me install grub :( I don't understand what I'm doing wrong

K I guess I can't do this, I guess I can't use F2FS...... -.-

I expected F2FS to work. but it doesn't..... so.... there goes my morning, totally wasted.

I only know how to make efi drive using parted, so here my method,
in terminal and as root user,

assuming you using partition 1
1. parted -a optimal /dev/sda
2. unit mib
3. mkpart ESP (starting point) (end point), for example, mkpart ESP 1 512, this will create new partition with 512 mib size
4. name 1 boot
5. set 1 boot on
6. quit

then you make fat32 partition for it,
mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/sda1
and mount your /mnt/boot to it (example, mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot)

when installing via chroot (basestrap /mnt base), it will automatically put all kernel and its related file to your newly mounted /boot

Then I make FAT32 partition for it???????????? and overwrite the FAT32 partition I already have, making me lose Windows??? No.....

Forget it. I can't do this. Sorry.

Re: F2FS installation fails

Yaa, sorry bout that just realised just now,
well try skipping making boot partition all togerther and just use windows boot folder,
from reading arch wiki they mentioned that windows install their .efi at /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/

So why dont you try mount your boot to there and install it via basestrap?

Re: F2FS installation fails

Hope you find a way to somehow make it, sorry cant help.

Why isn't F2FS already fixed? I reported that it wasn't working MONTHS ago. Is the Artix developer team really that far behind????? -.-

My entire morning was wasted by stupid errors that should've been solved long ago, great way to start the day......
