Comment 2 Thierry Vignaud 2016-07-12 15:37:41 CEST

Can you manually run update-grub2 when draklive-install fails in order to see what's happening?

yes

tty3? ( ctrl+alt+F3)

as user "live":

[live@localhost ~]$ update-grub2
/usr/sbin/grub2-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of `overlay'

as "root":

[root@localhost ~]# update-grub2
/usr/sbin/grub2-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of `overlay'

(note: "tilde", "~" should be super-scripted)

Comment 5 Thierry Vignaud 2016-07-13 10:55:53 CEST

Sorry, it must be done in the installation chroot.
It should be (as root):
chroot /mnt update-grub2

Comment 6 Ben McMonagle 2016-07-13 11:24:02 CEST

Will try again tomorrow night.
At least I am able to reproduce the issue.

Comment 7 Ben McMonagle 2016-07-16 11:11:50 CEST

see also 18956


[root@localhost ~]# chroot /mnt update-grub2
chroot: failed to run command `update-grub2': no such file or directory

maybe I am not in the installation chroot?
how can I be sure?

Comment 8 Thierry Vignaud 2016-07-16 15:55:47 CEST

Did you run this while draklive-install was showing the error?

@ Thierry: Do you expect this bug to still be valid in the next set of RC ISOs, or did it get fixed in the meantime?

Comment 12 Thierry Vignaud 2016-10-17 17:05:06 CEST

I don't know, we never got the original error message.

Ben, does this still occur with latest sta2 Live pre-ISOs?
