After reading Manjaro version 25+ has btrfs by default I decided to install the latest Cinnamon version on VirtualBox to check out the configuration.
I’m a minimalist by heart so I went with “manjaro-cinnamon-25.0.0-minimal-250417-linux614”. The iso boots up fine into the live desktop but installing (always) fails using the default option of “erase disk and install”.
As a test I also tried out the full version of the Cinnamon iso, but it gives me the same errors. I also tried installing on bare-metal, but again same error.
Installing Gnome edition does work without issues.
Please see attached logs for additional info.
Command <i>mkinitcpio</i> finished with exit code 1.
