[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed installation fails with LVM error code -4013
system three separate hdd with: sda Leap sdb Mageia sdc will be Tumbleweed. I did erase the sdc (formerly formatted BSD) and proceeded for the install. After the install there was curiously nothing available at boot. Only leap and mageia as before. As leap for another bug is freezing currently when coming to unblock the Luks LVM, I went to Mageia and found: surprisingly for mageia the disk is empty. (WTF???). So I said, can happen, I went to put in the tumbleweed (latest available snapshot) in the dvd and started the installation. Comes out that Tumbleweed does ask you for a password for the tumbleweed installation on an empty disk. So I looked and yes, the former partitioning seems to be there. I then choose: propose a partitioning, attributed the whole disk, set to encrypted LVM. Anomaly: here it did not ask me for the password. I thought it would later on but now. Then installing it gives the following error: LVM_VG_REMOVE_FAILED error code -4013 /sbin/vgrepremove'system' -f command failed with status code 5 Is this a bug of the installer? How can it be that from the Mageia install on the same PC the partition appears completely empty but Tumbleweed sense the present of it? What does the error code tell me. To me it appears it cannot remove the existing partitions even if it was set to -f (force)? Statuscode 5? I am posting this to factory. I followed a discussion before that this is in the opinion of some not the right directory to post for tumbleweed and/or Leap. So if this turns out to be against the netiquette, please tell me to which list to post about tumbleweed / leap (as this is recently really not clear to me).

This looks a bit similar to the issues that I had when installing 20151017. I've described this in a blog post at https://nwrickert2.wordpress.com/2015/10/23/my-tumbleweed-install-for-octobe... I deleted the luks partition, then retried with some success. I'm guessing that if you did not give the LUKS password, it might have worked. That is to say, it could not remove the partition because it was busy, having been opened when you provided the password. I had an additional issue. The partitioner seemed to allocate a small partition for "/boot". Except it did not configure it for "/boot" and it did not set a file system. I had to fix that in the custom partitioner. If you have an open bug report on this, then mention the bug number and I might add notes from my experience. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Let me guess. You use legacy BIOS and GPT? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Actually, I used UEFI and GPT. I'm not sure why you tried guessing, since those details are in the link I provided. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
