hello

what means
"Preparing file system...
-- inconsistent mount state, aborting"

while running _install;sh_... in an attempt to install Ubuntu Touch from Volla OS, 15.0-20260124-STABLE-vidofnir

and how to get this properly done ?

i succeeded only once after a few dozens attempts, and i am trying a new attempt

i finally solved the issue

this was probably coming from a faulty wifi connection that stopped in the middle of a download and resulted in a corrupted file allocation table or whatever on the sd card

what i did is :
1- in opensuse > YaST > Partionner i deleted the partitions on the card and formatted the card
2- in gparted i made a low level formatting of the card
(maybe these 2 steps are redundant?)

3- with a more reliable wifi connection i made again the whole process as described in the wiki, and it went good

maybe there should be a more robust download process (like wget -c) in Volla Boot Manager as my usual wifi server works quite well in every day usage

anyhow Ubuntu Touch is now installed and working as expected
