[SOLVED] Problem installing BBQ

Hello, I'm trying to install the distro but after the installation starts it stops with an error in bbqinstaller_error.log like this:
Error: Expected 2 arguments, found only 1.
It doesn't matter if the partition is dm_crypted or not or if I leave a swap partition or not. I'm installing this on a fresh SDD.
EDIT: Just realised the real error prompt is on the bottom and it tells me how to use mke2fs correctly, I guess this is installer doing it wrong and it's a bug?

so you mean the "bug" appears around 4 years after the initial release of the installer, only for exactly *one* user? oh yesh, sure.
I'm out here.

I haven't really followed you guys. Also, managed to install it once I edited the post realising that the true error wasn't with the expected arguments, thanks wux for the link too, somehow I couldn't find it using search

Plus 'installing bbq' is a touch like saying 'put new clutch on a car' sure some are the same, nice the have the release_name just for completeness sake.

Alright guys, I behaved both like an idiot and like a dork at the same time. I went with things my way instead of following stuff step by step and I already love my personalised piece of meat. I sure might've sounded disrespectful to your work earlier but I really do enjoy my new OS and respect you for your work :) Happy grilling to all of you guys out there, thank you for your patience!
