#75764 — Fancy-smanchy installers that don't work?

SubjectFancy-smanchy installers that don't work?
Message-ID<sm0y0pmq2qb.fsf@lakka.kapsi.fi>
Just curious, is there a wide ranged problem in Linux installers these
days? I mostly just use and maintain Debian on my computers and it just
works. I dabble in Arch and Ubuntu on occasion but not that much.

I thought I might want to try and turn my old laptop nee "Mobile
Workstation" (HP zBook 15 G3, 2016 vintage) into a game system and
hoping for stuff working out of the box with minimal fiddling I decided
to try a couple of game oriented distros.

First was Bazzite. Fedora based so Anaconda installer. The partitioning
stuff is fairly incomprehensible but in automatic mode it deigned to use
the unpartitioned space on the SSD and went ahead. And quit with ostree
blah blah exited with code 1. Installation aborted.

I figured I'll try vanilla Fedora here
(Fedora-Kinoite-ostree-x86_64-42-1.1.iso) since it could be converted
into Bazzite easily but same result. Goggle wasn't helpful, found only
some vague references to Fedora maybe not liking existing things in the
EFI partition, blank devices would maybe work... Mine has a bunch of
stuff from Debian, Windows, HP's Bios update stuff. Not wiping a working
Debian installation for this experiment, thank you.

Next then was Drauger, Ubuntu based, Edamame installer. More
understandable partitioning but after answering the few (but too many)
questions it asks about where and what to install, it just quits. No
error message, no nothing. Just nada, zip, zilch. I couldn't believe it
but there was no installer running any more in the process list.

So, sticking with Debian and if I need something newer, then Arch. But
really, three trial installation, three failures, doesn't look good. Is
this how it is, in 2025? I guess two of three, Bazzite and Drauger, are
niche but Fedora's failure seems odd. Or is it just "we support dual
boot with Windows, if you have any other Linux installed, fuck off?"

Well I install nothing but Mint these days on *86 and provided I just go 
the default route it GenerallyJustWorks™. At one time I had to fuck 
around with BIOS settings [legacy/UEFI/Secure boot shit] but there was 
only  a combination of about 9 of those and I found one that worked on 
the 3rd try.

Last time I abandoned an install was the day I tried ubuntu, failed and 
first installed Mint. Somewhere around 2008?

There have been issues with video cards and wifi chipsets, but the basic 
installs have never failed.

Upgrades are a different matter.

It may be worth installing a new disk and trying again.

I would have tried getting more detail on the precise error
message(s). There should be ways to get more verbosity out of the
installation procedure -- check the documentation.

   The quality of installers varies a bit. The depth/quality
   of hardware detection is the main gotcha so far as I can
   tell.

   Mostly I stick to MX these days. Ubuntu got too
   weird years ago - never again. The MX installer was
   the first I found to properly detect a M.2 "hdd"
   in laptops. They all do, NOW ...

   But, I've had fair luck with Manjaro and Fedora
   installers too ... though they sometimes make
   it a bit difficult to see how to proceed. Fedora
   is almost fanatical when it comes to creating
   the default disk layout/format. Frankly I do
   not care for BTRFS ....

   My newest xHDD ... did that in XFS. It's fast
   and reliable (can't shrink the parts though).
   Mostly though EXT4 or 3 is best - fully
   mature and lots of tools/methods for finding
   and fixing errors.

   OpenSUSE is still a 'Cadillac' distro (if
   rather 'fat'). It is very good at installs
   and all possible setups. Maybe the best if
   creating servers ... unless you need BSDs
   like for outward-facing high-vol servers.
   Setting up soft-RAID is super easy, and
   comes with USEFUL info during the process.
   Love it, except for the 'fatness' (and
   that it dropped several very useful legacy
   utilities and the smarter version of ffmpeg).

The YaST installer is very good, up to Leap 15.6. Very good partitioner 
section. But Leap 16.0 has ditched YaST and switched to Agama, web 
browser based, I understand. Also I understand that is an unfinished 
product, so it is getting a fair amount of criticism.

Most installers give you some way of switching to a text terminal window 
with a standard shell prompt. Because after all the installation volume is 
running on a full-function Linux kernel, after all. This lets you do 
custom pre-setup (like special partitioning) even if the installer itself 
doesn’t have that level of functionality.

Yes, YaST can run in text mode. If you call "yast" it is text, if "YAST" 
or other combos, graphical.

And when booted the install graphical system, you can start xterm windows.

Not usually necessary. The GUI installer would be running in a
standard GUI session off the installation media, but given you are
running a fully-functional regular Linux kernel, the usual CTRL-ALT-Fn
keystrokes will work for switching to a text console.

   Not usually "necessary" - but it was good when
   you needed it, like for servers with no GUI.
   (I can just see the newbies falling back out
   of their chairs - "NO GUI ???!!!" :-)

   The text version and GUI version were amazingly
   alike too.

   Anyway, YAST was the deal-maker for OpenSUSE. Now
   I'll have no reason to install a fat RPM distro
   at all anywhere.

When using ssh to another system it is useful to run yast inside as 
text. You can also run it graphically by using "ssh -X 
root@system.whatever". At least in a lan it runs fine, dunno over internet.

That's what I told them, and I got almost insulted.

Yeah, but that assumes you already have the system installed and it has an

Ok, fair enough.

I haven't done remote installations, but there are people doing them, 
and they say that one of the things they use is installation over ssh. I 
can not explain how.

I can’t think how, either. Various VM-hosting facilities do offer ways for 
you to get to the console remotely, typically via a Web interface, and you 
can do installs and other low-level operations that way. Tends to be 
pretty clunky, but at least it’s available as a last resort.

   SOME may want/need to do this, but I never have and
   likely few even here ever have.

And, likely, the new replacement guy is one of the younger crowd who 
has only ever known "web programming" and so "rewrite the installer as 
a web app" is the outcome.

And example of the saying: "If the only tool you have is a hammer, then 
all your problems begin to look like nails".

   Yea, great, half a zillion lines of HTML, PHP and
   fuckin' JAVASCRIPT ........

   YAST was the deal-maker for OpenSUSE - the ease and
   IQ it bought to config/reconfig was what made it
   more than just another fat RPM distro.

You remind me of a good example of a difficult thing to translate. In
French, I'm calling javascript: cacascript. Because in French caca means
shit. So any French speaker reading/hearing cacascript can understand
it's shit designing javascript. I have no idea how it could be
translated in English because shitscript could be understood as any
scripting language.

We sometimes use "caca" to mean "shit" in English too.  It's usually
in the context of babies, toilet training, etc. - but it makes a
nice enough fit that I just might start saying "cacascript" myself.
