Calamares Error 100 on ExnixOS (Virtualization with VirtualBox)

[AkiiKuun]

Good morning, first of all, it's a pleasure having your support. Below I present my problem.

I'm testing the OS with a virtual machine (specifically, VirtualBox). The virtual hardware I give the virtual machine is:

• 2GiB RAM.
• 20GB Dynamic Storage.
• The default configuration on the other things.

So, I upload the ISO of the OS on the virtual machine and I select the livebuild (amd64) option to try it. Then, I start the installation with Calamares, and I do the steps required, it starts loading but, when the installer arrives to the 70%, the installer crashes and gives an error. That's the following:

The package manager could not make changes to the installed system. The command apt-get --purge -q -y remove "packages" returned error code 100.

I tried to search for the Calamares log on the console, but this file doesn't exist.

I attach some screenshots.

Edit: I think that in the ".cache" directory must be a folder by the name "calamares", but as you can see in the last picture, it doesn't exist.

Thank you so much for the help. :)

Did you have a chance to test my theory of the missing apt-transport-https package in your build? Any luck getting your respin to work?

So, this time I tested the iso file attached here and it work (at least your iso works, sorry, it seems I used the hybrid iso file. xD).

Now I'm testing your theory on my build and the Calamares installer and it still crashes. I added to the script of the sudo package and the apt-transport-https too.

ADD: I don't have networks issues neither, I checked this too.

Since it is impossible to know every change you made to the packages I include or any changes to the build script you might have made, I do not have another theory. Sorry.

After a while of fiddling, I was finally able to activate the logs in the "Calamares" installer. Maybe this can help solve the problem? I think this are the lines where it fails and crashes.

Maybe a possible problem with the settings in the calamares-settings-debian package? I don't know. You can try contacting the maintainer of that package in the Debian repositories to see if any further testing can be done.

The error code 100 points to possible network issues. Does your virtual machine have networking enabled and working? On another note, your screenshots have a completely different theme than the one used in my ISO, and there is no Debug button in the lower corner of the progress column near the About button. Your Calamares has none of my branding, is this even my ISO?

If you are using my EznixOS project to build your own respin, please indicate that in your question. You may simply need to include the package: apt-transport-https in your build to solve the error 100.
