Describe the bug

I am able to install from the LiveCD boot of neither elementaryOS nor Pop_OS.

To Reproduce

Launch the Live CD boot of either of these -- latest versions, both -- and proceed through installation. I have three partitions: a 1 GB EFI partition, an 8 GB swap partition, and the remainder of a 480 GB SATA SSD allocated to the installation. There is one other SATA drive connected (a Windows installation). I used the "erase everything" option for both and chose the 480 GB SSD.

Expected behavior

Installation would proceed as normal.

Additional context

This is the log output from the installer in Pop_OS. The output at is more verbose in Pop_OS but ultimately the ~same at the end: a file is not openable.

Looking at /cdrom, it's empty:

ubuntu@ubuntu:/cdrom$ ls -lah
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  40 Jan  9 17:16 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 220 Jan  9 17:16 ..

I speculate that the method used for booting these Ubuntu/Debian derivatives is causing something to be missing that their installers expect that perhaps the Ubuntu/Debian installer does not, or that this particular method of booting -- LiveCD via PXE -- doesn't play nice with LiveCD installers at all and that I should be choosing something from the "Linux Network Installs", which does not include elementaryOS or Pop_OS.

I speculate that the method used for booting these Ubuntu/Debian derivatives is causing something to be missing that their installers expect that perhaps the Ubuntu/Debian installer does not, or that this particular method of booting -- LiveCD via PXE -- doesn't play nice with LiveCD installers at all and that I should be choosing something from the "Linux Network Installs", which does not include elementaryOS or Pop_OS.

Some more searching led me to https://github.com/pop-os/iso/issues/224, where my sentiment seems to be confirmed: the /cdrom/casper directory isn't present anywhere on the filesystem, nor is the filesystem.manifest-remove file.

Still an issue with pop os 22.04 (live-popos.ipxe).

And w/o a note or removal from menu

• more netbook.xyz users will run into this trap
• lose time
• start googleing
• maybe find this issue
• and ask "what's up?"

just like me now 🤷

For anyone getting here from google in 2025, there is a workaround. You can download the PopOS ISO from inside the Live environment, then mount it to /cdrom, and complete the installer as normal. This does involve a duplicate download and inflated RAM cost, but at least it can be done.

This issue is also one of the possible root causes of https://github.com/pop-os/iso/issues/224

Not ideal, but this worked for with a proxmox vm, thanks!
