I remember you saying the notification was unreadable, didn't recall the set Default bit. And I don't remember having to change the notification theme setting in b1 to get matcha's theming to show up in the popup.

(cannot install to sda20)

#52 Post by baldyeti »

I tried to install using beta1 - yup, sorry i wanted to avoid the big download.
I had only tried frugal with beta1.
Booted from USB key, updated mx-installer (19.9.03).
Trying to install to sda20 on an MBR-partitioned disk, but the partition drop-down stops at sda15.
Is this a known problem (no i did not read all pages from the beta1 thread, but since the problem shows up even with what should be the latest installer, i thought i'd report)
I prepared my partition using gparted and rebooted once to retry and make sure the new partition table is committed.

FYI: mx "test" repo is not the same thing as debian testing repo.

the latest installer shouldn't have the 15 partition problem. Our current test suit includes 2 devices, 1 with 21 patitions, the other with 4 partitions, and with encrypted partitions on each. the installer lists all 21 partitions on the one device.

I booted from USB once more to make sure. Beta1 had 19.8.06, which indeed has the same issue.
Is 19.9.03 _not_ the latest version (as included in beta2.1) ?

oddly enough, the partition from the USB key (sdb) appears between sda15 and sd16, perhaps that's the problem ?

on my system, partitions after 15 do show up out of order, but they do show up.

The "isBoot" flag listed seems to be a bit odd:

Starting from listed sdb the "isBOOT" shown as "true",

Code: Select all

"sda20" 18718130176  "" "ext4"                 | false false  true   false true     false
probably wrongly propagate from the real "isBOOT" device /dev/sdb or /dev/sdb1.
And by this the "isBOOT"-flagged devices are not listed as target install devices :bawling:

Re: (cannot install to sda20)

Alright and what does 'minstall --version' report on beta2.1 (to make sure i received the very same version)

it's an old test system, its MBR boot is owned by windows, with stretch/grub (sda8) entry plugged using EasyBCD.
I intended to install MX19/buster to sda20, with its own grub only installed to sda20,
then regenerate the stretch gub.cfg to collect the newly installed MX.

Something that may be unusual: due to a long history of playing with this 2TB HDD, its partitions are not in physical order anymore - could that cause confusion ?

Another data point : i booted the same system again from USB/sdb, using an MX18_i386 version, and its installer (18.12.3) does show me all partitions.

the 19.9.03 version.
The mentioned isBOOT flag issue has rather todo with the minstaller itself, not with the old disk or the devise name order.
IIRC, this issue was already addressed and mentioned as fixed.
