Hey, I hope someone here can help me with Bazzite. I already tried to ask at a Bazzite community, though it doesn’t seem to be active enough. ( link )
I failed to install Bazzite besides Windows10 (same SSD) and Ubuntu (different SSD). I got the error that grub2-mkconfig exited with code 1. It did not create an entry in my efi partition (checked in Ubuntu and only saw one Ubuntu and one Windows directory). I checked the logfile mentioned in the error dialog, though that basically just said the same. No further information.
As I wanted to overwrite an existing old ubuntu install on that SSD, I chose to install on a shared disk and then reclaimed the storage space by removing the old root and swap partition of the old Ubuntu in the resulting dialog. The partioning for Bazzite is then done automatically on the resulting free space.
Can you help me with this? All I could find online was either not fitting the problem at all and/or showing a totally different install process (probably for old Bazzite versions).
My hardware is rather old. Ryzen5 CPU, SATA SSDs and HDDs and a Geforce 1060 3GB. I hope to now completely ditch Windows with a replacement for gaming.
Thanks in advance for any help with this problem
Maybe check your drives for errors.
I had this EFI problem and it turned out to be a couple of file system errors on one of my old windows HDD’s I use for data (not the W11 system drive). I read it somewhere on internet this could be the problem. I think after doing the scannow thing and catching errors on Windows 11, Bazzite installed fine on a clean formatted SSD after.
Bazzite seems to be picky on disk errors, unlike Windows, Windows reported it as totally fine until I checked manually.
Just to make sure I disconnected the data drive, Bazzite installed without any effort (or errors).
