I’m trying to install aeon, first thing I encountered was needing to remove sticky but on /tmp. Once I did that the installer finally worked. However after it deploys the image I get encrypted partition not found. I tried searching for this but haven’t found a solution. I would upload a log but I’m currently on my phone.
Also if I run the installer again it finds it but asks me for the password which I don’t have
I do have the same problem when trying to install Aeon. I actually wanted to file a bug report but wanted to check in here first if there is a solution I just haven’t found yet.
Here’s an excerpt from the tik log:
Adding new partition 0 to partition table.
Adding new partition 1 to partition table.
Writing new partition table.
Telling kernel to reread partition table.
All done.

This is right after formatting the partitions and everything seems ok before. However I think there is a problem during encrypting the partitions.
It logs “[crypt_progress] Monitoring encryption progress”
but does not get to log “[crypt_progress] Encryption progress reached 100%”
And I may be completely wrong but I wonder why the crypt_progress function is sent to background here. Because to me this almost feels like a race condition. As if tik is trying to find the encrypted partition before it is actually encrypted.
I wonder if someone here may have an idea, otherweise I’m gonna file the bug report.
I ended up finding a work around. If I open the installer again type in a password twice, and then press skip the next time it asks me then it would install as expected. You might check on the telegram/matrix channels as well, they’ll ask for logs and may file a bug report.
Thanks for the work around. However, it does not seem to work for me unfortunately. My suspicions I mentioned before turned out to be false as well. Looks like I’m right back at the start. I may check matrix as next step 
I’m having the same issue.
Opened a bug report.
