Buildiso issue with kpmcore

[nl.smart]

Hi,

I tried to build a KDE x86_64 iso image, something go wrong during the build process :

warning: gparted-1.7.0-1 is up to date -- reinstalling
warning: timeshift-25.07.5-1 is up to date -- reinstalling

Should I update the Manjaro iso profile ?

Thanks for your help.

Hoi nl,

Don’t build i advise. There are fresh iso’s on sourceforge. Philip Muller has pushed images that are working.

Thanks for your answer and suggestion, I build my own iso image with the packages I need, those packages are not present on the official Manjaro iso’s. (Ventoy, Raspberry Pi Imager, Discord, Krdc, Krfb…)

Best is to wait a while longer — possibly until the next Stable Update, but perhaps it won’t be that long.

There is an issue with the current kpmcore, which, as @stormschip mentioned, has now been remedied on the official installer ISO, but in order to get a working kpmcore, you’ll need to downgrade to the 25.04.3-1 version.

The problem is that the newer kpmcore does not allow vfat for the EFI system partition — it insists on FAT12 or FAT16.

Ok, Thanks for your technical answer, wait and see.

Well, as I said, you can try downgrading the package with -Syuu, or answer Y to the question to remove kmpcore and then manually install kpmcore25.04.

I added kpmcore25.04 in the Packages-Desktop file to build the iso image without issue.

you can simply build ISOs from the testing branch, which has updated calamares with kpmcore 25.08 support …

Thanks for your reply and tips.
