    INSTALL FAILED

Here's some log output that may help

I can't seem to access the install.log to see what's going wrong. Even after passing debug. Must be some tty issue too.

Fix is updating the mbr to /usr/lib/EXTLINUX/mbr.bin

Ah, sneaky, they changed the casing of the filename? For some reason the stderr output of dd is redirected to /dev/null, which masked this error...

Probably need a tty-force instead of an inherit here https://github.com/Webconverger/webc/blob/master/lib/systemd/system/install.service#L26

I am going to move our service files to /etc/systemd/system where they belong I think.

Tried some systemd tty options, but no dice. I think dd just doesn't have a good error message. Would be nicer if the log could show the error return code?

[matthijskooijman]

Removing the 2> /dev/null doesn't help?

oh, somehow I missed that. 😭
