can you tree -a /boot

fierce flare Jun 23, 2024, 2:08 AM

#

wintry nebula can you `tree -a /boot`

On the partition where it's installed?

wintry nebula Jun 23, 2024, 2:08 AM

#

yes

fierce flare Jun 23, 2024, 2:08 AM

#

Not possible, its ext4, not exFAT

wintry nebula Jun 23, 2024, 2:08 AM

#

your boot partition is ext4

fierce flare Jun 23, 2024, 2:08 AM

#

Yeah

wintry nebula Jun 23, 2024, 2:09 AM

#

your boot partition should be FAT32

fierce flare Jun 23, 2024, 2:09 AM

#

Wait, maybe i'm misunderstanding something

#

The whole operating system is in a partition as ext4

wintry nebula Jun 23, 2024, 2:10 AM

#

see how i have one part mounted to /boot and another mounted to /

#

the one mounted to /boot needs to be FAT32

fierce flare Jun 23, 2024, 2:11 AM

#

So I need to create a /boot montage point with FAT32

#

Correct?

#

(Obviously while reinstalling)

wintry nebula Jun 23, 2024, 2:12 AM

#

are you on windows 10

fierce flare Jun 23, 2024, 2:12 AM

#

11

wintry nebula Jun 23, 2024, 2:12 AM

#

right now

#

is your dualboot on the same drive or a different drive

fierce flare Jun 23, 2024, 2:12 AM

#

Different

wintry nebula Jun 23, 2024, 2:12 AM

#

Nice

#

you can mount ext4 on widnows

fierce flare Jun 23, 2024, 2:13 AM

#

Via WSL?

wintry nebula Jun 23, 2024, 2:13 AM

#

yes

#

@fierce flare mount with thishttps://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl2-mount-disk

this section

fierce flare Jun 23, 2024, 2:14 AM

#

Already on it x2

#

kek

wintry nebula Jun 23, 2024, 2:16 AM

#

after you mount it, run lsblk

fierce flare Jun 23, 2024, 2:17 AM

#

Guh

wintry nebula Jun 23, 2024, 2:17 AM

#

setup wsl first

#

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install

Install WSL

Install Windows Subsystem for Linux with the command, wsl --install. Use a Bash terminal on your Windows machine run by your preferred Linux distribution - Ubuntu, Debian, SUSE, Kali, Fedora, Pengwin, Alpine, and more are available.

fierce flare Jun 23, 2024, 2:17 AM

#

Just doing --install should do the work ig

wintry nebula Jun 23, 2024, 2:17 AM

#

yea

#

btw you need wsl2 to use mount

#

which should be default

fierce flare Jun 23, 2024, 2:25 AM

#

The sdd3 should have / as a mountpoint, right?

#

I mean, I installed fedora in it

#

@wintry nebula

wintry nebula Jun 23, 2024, 2:28 AM

#

what disk did you install fedora on

fierce flare Jun 23, 2024, 2:28 AM

#

wintry nebula what disk did you install fedora on

sdd3

wintry nebula Jun 23, 2024, 2:29 AM

#

i am going to assume that sdd4 is your boot partition

#

is it?

fierce flare Jun 23, 2024, 2:29 AM

#

No, that's the thing

#

Fedora just asked for / and sdd5 is biosboot

wintry nebula Jun 23, 2024, 2:30 AM

#

whats the thing

fierce flare Jun 23, 2024, 2:30 AM

#

Nothing else

wintry nebula Jun 23, 2024, 2:30 AM

#

what bootloader are you using

fierce flare Jun 23, 2024, 2:30 AM

#

My BIOS itself /srs

wintry nebula Jun 23, 2024, 2:31 AM

#

something like EFISTUB

fierce flare Jun 23, 2024, 2:32 AM

#

Grub? Although I don't think it comes preinstalled with fedora

wintry nebula Jun 23, 2024, 2:32 AM

#

can you mount your boot partition and tree -a . in it

fierce flare Jun 23, 2024, 2:34 AM

#

I mounted it, it's on /mnt/wsl/PHYSICALDRIVE2p3

#

But how do I get there? wsl still?

#

wintry nebula Jun 23, 2024, 2:36 AM

#

idk wsl that well

fierce flare Jun 23, 2024, 2:39 AM

#

wintry nebula can you mount your boot partition and `tree -a .` in it

Too many parameters

wintry nebula Jun 23, 2024, 2:40 AM

#

fierce flare Too many parameters

just tree the directory

fierce flare Jun 23, 2024, 2:40 AM

#

Long ass tree

#

It's all of Fedora

wintry nebula Jun 23, 2024, 2:40 AM

#

tree your boot directory

#

not the root

fierce flare Jun 23, 2024, 2:41 AM

#

Nothing

wintry nebula Jun 23, 2024, 2:41 AM

#

nothing in your boot dir

fierce flare Jun 23, 2024, 2:41 AM

#

Yop

#

No wonder why wouldn't it boot

wintry nebula Jun 23, 2024, 2:42 AM

#

fierce flare Nothing

uhh

#

i think you are in your wsl boot dir

fierce flare Jun 23, 2024, 2:42 AM

#

fierce flare

Am I? Image says that's the path

#

And since the partition doesn't have a mountpoint

#

Found this while testing
