Calamares unable to detect modules during Installation

SYY212 · June 20, 2021, 3:15am

I couldn’t open the Install System GUI, so I opened it in terminal instead and it reported some errors here:

[liveuser@eos-2021.04.17 locale]$ sh -c "pkexec calamares"
QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'

    ERROR: Module "keyboard@keyboard" not found in module search paths. 
     "/usr/lib/calamares/modules" 
Bus error (core dumped)

There were also some errors when I wanted to open the welcome page:

[liveuser@eos-2021.04.17 locale]$ sh /usr/share/endeavouros/scripts/welcome --enable
/usr/bin/yad: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libopenjp2.so.7: cannot read file data: Input/output error
welcome exit code was: 127

I have installed the Endeavour OS iso file with the github link on https://endeavouros.com/latest-release/ and created the live USB using Rufus. Secure Boot is also disabled. This is the full log for Calamares

Thanks for any help!

I am not an expert on this but I don’t think the installer runs calamares directly like that. I think it first runs a script which does some configuration before launching calamares.

SYY212 · June 20, 2021, 4:15am

The first command I did was the Install System GUI command I found by editing the app entry in app launcher menu, then the last command was a command that I found in another post where the asker was asked to run that line

I don’t have the ISO in front of me right now. I thought the icon pointed to welcome and the welcome app asked if you wanted to do an online or offline install. If you selected online it downloaded a script called something like prepare-calamares from github, if you selected offline it used a copy of the script on the ISO. After that ran, then it runs calamares. That is going from memory though so it could be wrong.

That being said, this:

Sounds like a bad download or problem with writing the ISO to your flash drive.

Ah yes you were right, after tinkling with my USB for a whole, I realized that it has some bad blocks on it, and after I use another USB, it works well. Sorry for bothering and thanks for helping

and yes we do some changes on calamares settings and configs related to install method before starting calamares, so the bare executable without doing this changes is not working.
