Hello,
After booting Skywave on a USB key, I'd like to install it on an ext4 partition on a SSD.
I can't use timeshift as I'm getting a "Live USB mode, Restore only"
Using timeshift with the command line, is giving me a "cannot create snapshots on live CD"
Calamares is giving me a cryptic error message about not able to use Qt5 or some-such
Do you have any success in installing Skywave? are they any pre requisites for doing it?
Thanks
Those apps don't seem to work well with other media. I did get it to install by using rsync. It was very slow, but the Skywave filesystem was written to a USB drive. On that drive, I had to chroot in and reinstall Grub2 and it worked.
That is a lot of hassle... If you look on Github, I have most of the scripts and configs which differ from a basic Ubuntu 20.04 install with the other applications. If there is an app you want, intall it and look at the scripts. They are either self-contained or use things in
/usr/local
/usr/local/etc
/usr/local/sbin
...if not using configs in the home directory /home/skywave
Hope this helps. Skywave Lnux 4.2 is in the works and the Calamares, Timeshift issues will be worked out for that release.
