Known issues

Last update: 2024-Jun-09.

Here we will list known issues of the latest EndeavourOS ISO, drivers and apps.

ISO

Description of the issue	Possible remedy
Installer says there is no internet connection, but it does exist.	Using VPN may help, depending on your location. Please report issues at the Endeavouros forum.

Description of the issue	Possible remedy	Status	Latest remarks
Code generated by `grub-tools`	If you are using the `dash` shell instead of `bash`, the code generated by `grub-tools` may not work as it includes features supported by bash only. It will work by changing your shell from dash to bash.	Fixed.	Package `grub-tools` has been removed from the EndeavourOS repository.
An app behaves unexpectedly	Make sure your system is properly updated (use terminal command `pacman -Syu` or `yay`). Make sure you have carefully checked and manually merged related app configuration updates. Use terminal command `eos-pacdiff` for this. NOTE: never modify files like - `/etc/passwd` - `/etc/group` - `/etc/shadow` and similar files with command `eos-pacdiff`, otherwise you may not be able to log in to your system. Check if any AUR package overrides files of the official packages.

Description of the issue	Possible remedy
Wired (ethernet) connection does not work properly	If you have a Realtek `8168` ethernet card, either uninstall the `r8168` package, or reinstall it. Then reboot. Note at 2024-Jun: package `r8168` has been moved to the AUR.
Boot failure with new Nvidia cards (30xx and 40xx)	~~As a temporary workaround, add kernel parameter `ibt=off`.~~ 2024-Jan: this should no more be needed.
On nvidia system, after system update the next boot stops at a blank screen	Typically, on a kernel update the corresponding nvidia driver package should be updated as well. Sometimes that doesn't happen, which can lead to this problem. Remedy1: use the dkms version of the Nvidia driver (like `nvidia-dkms`). This is recommended. Remedy2: use apps `eos-update` for updating the system, because they can detect such a problem and let you decide what to do. Plain `pacman` or `yay` do not detect this.
