"Aw, Snap" Error page in web installer using Vanadium

AnointerStrongman

I'm trying to install GOS to a Pixel 7, using Vanadium on a Pixel 5a. When it gets to "Writing system" in the flashing process the page has the error "Aw, Snap! Something went wrong while displaying the webpage."

Prior to installing, the Pixel 7 had been updated to the latest stock. The 5a is on the latest version of GrapheneOS. The USB-c cable connecting them is from the Pixel 7 box.

Any way to fix this error?

P.S. My personal computer uses Arch Linux & Gnome. It looks like I have some pain ahead if I have to try installing via a computer instead of a phone.

AnointerStrongman It's possible that you're running out of memory. You need at least 4GB of free memory.

AnointerStrongman All you need on Linux is chrome and you can do the web install. I use Endeavour and the web installer ran perfectly.

I ended up using the CLI install, which completed successfully. Used the Google release of fastboot (as opposed to Arch Linux version) .Didn't experience any problems from GNOME bug.

I guess the problem isn't really "solved", but it seems like the resolution is that you can't do web install from Vanadium on a phone with only 6GB RAM.

AnointerStrongman I've used both methods on my Endeavour laptop and they both work fine. The main thing is you got it working. Excellent!
