from "unpackfs.conf" found in "/usr/share/calamares/modules/"

Code: [Select]

#   -   source: "/path/to/filesystem.sqfs"
#       sourcefs: "squashfs"
#       destination: ""

# You can list more than one filesystem.
#
#   -   source: "/path/to/another/filesystem.img"
#       sourcefs: "ext4"
#       destination: ""
#

# You can list filesystem source paths relative to the Calamares run
# directory, if you use -d (this is only useful for testing, though).
    -   source: ./example.sqfs
        sourcefs: squashfs
        destination: ""

running calamares results in a error message that "/home/artix/example.sqfs" can't be found.
It needs to be commented out in the above file.
After this is done calamares says there are no squashfs files.
The solution to this is to change the above file to read

Code: [Select]

   -   source: '/run/artix/bootmnt/artix/x86_64/rootfs.sfs'
       sourcefs: "squashfs"
       destination: "" 

   -   source:  '/run/artix/bootmnt/artix/x86_64/desktopfs.sfs'
       sourcefs: "squashfs"
       destination: ""

No, no, no, calamares in live session is configured in /etc/calamares/modules overriding /usr/share/calamares.

Tried Again Today and first got the "/home/artix/example.sqfs" file can't be found commented this out and this is the next error

Code: [Select]

15:13:38 [1]: Job "unpackfs" (doc) -> "Unsquash filesystem." 
15:13:38 [1]: Python Error:

Found the error if you use build iso or perhjaps just choosing no in netinstall /etc/calamares/modules is not fully populated and one of the missing ones is unpackfs

Just checked and it a buildiso error yes /no on netinstall has no effect

Yes I just added "unpackfs" file from the Lxqt iso to my buildiso after it had booted to the live desktop.
Note the "unpackfs" is the only file missing and I am pleased to report everthing is working now many thanks.
