Would it be possible to reproduce this while doing the following: * Before you plugged and mounted the USB stick, run, as root: echo ==BEFORE > 1.txt && df >> 1.txt && fdisk -l | grep sd >> 1.txt * Right after you plugged and mounted the USB stick, run, as root: echo ==KEY_ADDED >> 1.txt && df >> 1.txt && fdisk -l | grep sd >> 1.txt * Right after you get the first error message, before removing the windows mount point: echo ==ERROR_1 >> 1.txt && df >> 1.txt && fdisk -l | grep sd >> 1.txt * after removing the Windows mountpoint, but before continuing: echo ==WIN_GONE >> 1.txt && df >> 1.txt && fdisk -l | grep sd >> 1.txt * Right after you get the second error message: echo ==ERROR_2 >> 1.txt && df >> 1.txt && fdisk -l | grep sd >> 1.txt and journalctl -ab > journal.txt and then attach 1.txt and journal.txt to this bug report? Btw, which screenshots had gotten lost? The ones from the beginning of install? CC:

marja11 I begin by your last question. At a first try, I got only the first made screenshot, and at a second try I got the 3 firsts screenshots. Created attachment 8949 [details]

About the message that windows is hibernating: was "fast boot" or "fast startup" enabled in windows? About install failing with the "Unable to copy files to new root" message: at that point, according to the df output, only the new home partition is mounted, but the new / partition (/dev/sda5) isn't. I fail to see why. (In reply to Marja van Waes from comment #5) > About the message that windows is hibernating: was "fast boot" or "fast > startup" enabled in windows? I can't check in Windows because it is in fact a former Win10 Technical Review that doesn't boot any more and that I keep to have the Windows partition in the partitioning screenshots. However, in the firmware, "fast boot" is disabled and I could install Linux Mint, Fedora and Mageia Classical with no complaint. > > About install failing with the "Unable to copy files to new root" message: > at that point, according to the df output, only the new home partition is > mounted, but the new / partition (/dev/sda5) isn't. I fail to see why. What is sure is that without the USB key, it works and if the key is mounted on /mnt or /media, I get the error message. I've tried to replicate the problem with the USB stick mounted on /mnt, but had no success - the install completes without error for me. Note that the installer mounts the partition it is installing to on /mnt/install, so if you already have a USB stick mounted on /mnt, an 'install' directory gets created on the USB stick. Actually the installer is supposed to unmount all drives/partitions before proceeding to the partitioning step, and on the next Live ISO build it will (see bug 20268). So saving the screenshots to /home/live is your best option. Whether these get copied to the installed system would depend whether you saved the screenshots before or after that part of the filesystem was copied. CC:

mageia I can't check this bug with Mga7beta2 because I have no more Windows. Sorry. |
