ROME Plasma6 isos (Call for testing)

[bruno]

I am writing from «firefox» installed on ROME Plasma6 x86_64 #3081,
i’ve noted that «dolphin» not see usbkey. In spite of «lsub» does it.

No mount point was set for EFI System Partition. In the partitioner you have to use manual partitioning and set a mount point for the EFI System Partition. That would be seen in this line:

mountPoint: : ""

Should be:

mountPoint: : "/boot/efi"

I think this should work: If you wanted to fix that you could add the line to /etc/fstab:

Get the uuid for the EFI System Partition:

ls -la /dev/disk/by-uuid

Add the line like this:

UUID=FA02-1C16 /boot/efi vfat defaults,noatime,umask=0077 0 2

That is copied from my ROME P6 system. Then (assumes you are booting from /dev/sda):

sudo update-grub2

sudo grub2-install /dev/sda

Or I think you could just open KDE Partition Manager and select the /boot/efi partition and add the mount point in “Path”:

That should add the entry correctly to /etc/fstab and then:

sudo update-grub2

sudo grub2-install /dev/sda

Well. I didn’t set the mount point in my boot/efi partition, because the option in the panel is not available…

[ben79 (Ben Bullard)]

That is the wrong place. That is “Replace a partition” you need to use “Manual Partitioning”.

Note that the boot flag must be enabled not the bios-grub flag.

IMO the “Replace a partition” should recognize the /boot/efi partition and deal with it correctly but it does not. It has been a long time since I looked in to this but as I recall this is an upstream issue. “Manual Partitioning” works, I use it a lot especially recently with testing all the new Plasma6 and LXQt isos on my laptop. On my laptop I have to use Manual Partitioning it is the only thing that works on a multi-boot UEFI box.

Edit:

No — Sostituire una partizione
Sì — Partizionamento manuale

[stefluni (Stefano)]

Well… I’ll try on one other laptop…

recheck option in your UEFI motherboard ,
see Openmandriva LX4 and EFI - #5 by stephane

if Calamares offers only Bios-grub & Boot , that means you have boot in Bios mode not UEFI mode ,
bios-grub appears if your disk is GPT and introduced for motherboard that do not support UEFI

I installed ROME Plasma 6 in triple boot with windows 11 and linux mint on my notebook. Everything seems to work fine except a break of Flatdrake and the desktop cube effect. How come?

Hi, i installed package qt6-qtquick3d-examples-6.7.0-1.x86_64 with the dependencies and the cube effect work now.
