Trying to do an offline installation of artix-xfce-openrc-20220123-x86_64.iso. When I launch Calamares, it shows "Waiting for 1 module(s)" for 120 seconds and then tells "The system is not connected to the Internet". A couple of questions:
1) What is this 1 module, and why it is not a part of an ISO?
2) Are there any downsides of installing without this module?
Thank you in advance
You can run
calamares -d >calamares.log 2>&1
to generate a log.
The modules are on the ISO, but they might take longer to initialize ("RequirementsChecker" lines; implying checking requirements). By the way, this is more of a question for upstream.
Thank you. I compared the calamares logs, if no Internet then at some point there are a lot of
**:**:** [6]: void Calamares::RequirementsChecker::reportProgress()
Remaining modules: 1
"welcome"
sections, and finally
**:**:** [6]: void Calamares::RequirementsChecker::addCheckedRequirements(Calamares::Module*)
Got 5 requirement results from "welcome"
**:**:** [6]: void Calamares::RequirementsChecker::finished()
All requirements have been checked.
**:**:** [6]: void Calamares::RequirementsModel::describe() const
Requirements model has 6 items
.. requirement 0 "partitions" satisfied? true mandatory? true
.. requirement 1 "storage" satisfied? true mandatory? true
.. requirement 2 "ram" satisfied? true mandatory? true
.. requirement 3 "power" satisfied? true mandatory? false
.. requirement 4 "internet" satisfied? false mandatory? false
.. requirement 5 "root" satisfied? true mandatory? true
**:**:** [6]: "No carrier"
This doesn't block a progress - just delays it a bit while this check is ongoing. I wonder, for what purpose the Internet is desired by Calamares: to download & apply the updates, or something else - i.e. to show the custom pictures during the installation?
As can be seen from this part of the log, the only required modules are: partitions, storage, ram and root ("mandatory? true").
