just had a nice discussion with folks on Telegram, talking about how lsb_release on EOS doesn't set the lsb codename, which breaks some automation and other tools. per the lsb docs, codename should get set:

-c, --codename     

displays codename according to distribution release. The output is a single line of text of the following format.

Codename:\t<Codename>

something like "rolling", or the timestamp of the last pacman update, should be sufficient to keep this from breaking things.

When reflector-simple is invoked from the eos-welcome app on machines connected to displays which are running at lower resolutions, the window is larger than the displayed area.

this could be fixed if the checkbox with the text Bosnia and Herzegovina was at the end of a row, or if the text would wrap to the next line for that entry.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/grub-silent/

grub-silent is a grub substitute to get rid of the "Welcome to grub" message at the begin of the grub boot sequence. It is particularly useful if a grub theme is installed. Then this short flickering up "Welcome to grub" message can be annoying before the grub theme shows up.

If grub-silent aur is installed on EndeavourOS then an grub update will lead to a corrupt grub.cfg file and no os-prober menuentry will start anymore. The corrupted line in /boot/grub/grub.cfg is:

initrd /boot/intel-ucode.img^/boot/initramfs-linux.img

Instead of an empty space character there's a "^" character in the middle of the line that isn't correct.

Tested with:
EndeavourOS 2020.09.20 release installed in german language (don't know if this is relevant)

I think this causes this error when sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg:

/etc/grub.d/30_os-prober: 222: Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting "fi")

I am not a programmer but I think this can be corrected by substituting LINITRD=($LINITRD); with LINITRD=$LINITRD;

I love using the EOS updater, but find myself always having to then separately run "flatpak update".

Is there a way to optionally add flatpak update to the EOS updater like the AUR is?

I'm happy to try and add this code myself, but I'm a little lost on where exactly the update is happening.

package() {
    mkdir -p "${pkgdir}/etc/pacman.d"
    install -Dm644 "${srcdir}/endeavouros-mirrorlist" \
        "${pkgdir}/etc/pacman.d/endeavouros-mirrorlist"
}

Dm644

it gives error on try installing it: file exists...

Budgie Desktop (and probably other desktop environments) shows the application name when displaying notifications, which in the case of eos-reboot-required is unset, defaulting to "notify-send". It may be desirable to pass in an app name to notify-send when sending the notification.

https://github.com/endeavouros-team/PKGBUILDS/blob/master/endeavouros-theming/PKGBUILD

after updated kde it uses "distroname"-logo.png and "distroname"-logo.svg files to show inside kde settings about slide on kde plasma installs.

Before it was only "distroname".png/svg

eos-update-notifier doesn't use EOS_AUR_HELPER when ShowHowAboutUpdates in /etc/eos-update-notifier.conf is set to notify.

This can be fixed by changing line 107 in eos-update-notifier to RunInTerminal eos-update --helper "$EOS_AUR_HELPER".

When clicking on Update system on the Welcome app, this warning message appears:
Info: translation issues detected, see file '/tmp/translations-7yRtc.errlog'

The tmp file states this:
Warning: Welcome: language 'ca' placeholder 'nb_nofify_user1': translation not found, 'en' used as fallback.

But the rest of the text of the update system option and everything else in the Welcome app is correctly displayed in Catalan, so the translation is working fine.

I am the translator of the file translation-ca.bash and I wanted to ask if I missed something to change in the file or it is something that needs to be changed elsewhere.

Thanks!

"Welcome" app is not translated when launched with Live Image.

I made a script to translate:

Feel free to modify it.

Set script to autostart when booting with Live Image. Since it is related
to system design, I submitted it as "Issues" instead of "Pull requests".

1). Launch with Live Image:

2). Create a "Language List Menu" using yad:

sudo xed /usr/share/endeavouros/scripts/live-LANG-select-menu

#!/bin/bash

yad --list\
      --column="Language:":TEXT\
      --column=" ":TEXT\
      --separator="/"\
      --width=400 --height=500\
      --title="Select language for 'Welcome'" --fontname="Mono 10"\
      English en_US\
      Catalan（català） ca_AD\
      German（Deutsch） de_DE\
      Spanish（Español・Española） es_ES\
      Persian（فارسی） fa_IR\
      Finnish（Suomalainen） fi_FI\
      French（Francés・Francesa） fr_FR\
      India（हिंदी-भारत） hi_IN\
      Croatian（Hrvatski） hr_HR\
      Icelandic（Íoslainnis） is_IS\
      Italian（Italiano・Italiana） it_IT\
      Japanese（日本語） ja_JP\
      Polish（Polski） pl_PL\
      Portuguese（Português） pt_PT\
      Portuguese-Brazil（Português-Brasil） pt_BR\
      Romanian（Română） ro_RO\
      Russian（Русский） ru_RU\
      Norway（Norge） se_NO\
      Slovak（slovenský） sk_SK\
      Thai（แบบไทย） th_TH\
      Ukrainian（українська） uk_UA\
      Chinese-China（中文-**） zh_CN\
      Chinese-HongKong（中文-香港） zh_HK\
      Chinese-Singapore（中文-新加坡） zh_SG\
      Chinese-Taiwan（中文-台灣） zh_TW

Note: The language used in "translation-rs.bash" seems to be "Croatian",
but I excluded it because there is no comment line (country code)
in "/etc/locale.gen".

3). Create the main script:

sudo xed /usr/share/endeavouros/scripts/live-LANG-select

#!/bin/bash

result=$(bash /usr/share/endeavouros/scripts/live-LANG-select-menu | cut -d/ -f2)
echo "en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8" > locale.${result}
echo ${result}".UTF-8 UTF-8" >> locale.${result}
sudo cp locale.${result} /etc/locale.gen
sudo locale-gen
export LANG=$(echo ${result}".UTF-8")
eos-welcome

Note: Locale settings are only valid within scripts. However,
you can start the app by specifying the country code.

4). Set script to autostart when booting with Live Image:

EndeavourOS -> 'Settings' -> 'Session and Startup' -> 'Application Autostart'

-> 'Welcome(EndeavourOS Welcome Launcher)'

Command: sh /usr/share/endeavouros/scripts/welcome --startdelay=3 

↓ Replace:

Command: sh /usr/share/endeavouros/scripts/live-LANG-select --startdelay=3

5). FYI: To see how the script works:

sh /usr/share/endeavouros/scripts/live-LANG-select

(1). Language selection menu launches:

(2). Launch the "Welcome" app in the selected language:

For example in file PKGBUILDS/welcome/translations-welcome-ro.bash:
EN site should be ROsit/situri, not the the Romglish site-uri.
The word itself is of Latin origin, and the Romanian equivalent does not need this horrible anglicization.

Missing space between two sentences separated by a full stop (not a showstopper, but sill):
este dezactivată.Pentru a o

Generic terms could be translated in target language, even if the original term is understood by non-English users.
For example I would translate Display Manager by Gestionar de afișaj.
Web Browser could be translated as Navigator Internet.

Double space after the word Arch - Utilizator Arch și.
English -ing forms, which have a continuous meaning (something is in progress), have been butchered by using the corresponding Romanian gerund, which sounds hilarious and robotic, unnatural.
If you want to state that you're currently doing something, in Romanian you can use a noun:
Executând comenzi should be Execuție comenzi, or, by imitating French, Comenzi în curs de execuție.
Lots of -ing form mistranslations to be corrected.

Missing Romanian diacritics: Actualizari de la should be Actualizări de la.
The translator should use a Romanian spell-checker to correct words, when translating. Firefox has one, with Romanian language as an option.

Mistranslation of the English location - locații de descărcare. Stop using the Romanian locație as an equivalent to English location.
Use the Romanian destinație, loc, punct de descărcare.
In English, these words are called false friends, same word in both languages, but with different meanings.

Currently, updating Arch and AUR packages works nicely through eos-update-notifier. However, Flatpak updates are not integrated here.

Workarounds:

• KDE Discover (doesn't support AUR)
• Pamac
• Bauh
• manually via flatpak update

I'm aware that there is AdditionalEosUpdater. The eos-update-notifier Discovery page even mentions:

call an external program for other updating (e.g. updating flatpaks)

Nevertheless, it is not really clear how this shall work (see e.g. https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/eos-update-notifier-and-flatpak/20520). From #80, it seems that UpdateInTerminal must be changed as well.

Goal:

• minimum: update Flatpak and eos-update-notifier Discovery pages and describe in detail how to enable Flatpak updates.
• best: treat Flatpak similarly to AUR (e.g. add CheckFlatpakUpdates to eos-update-notifier).

After running the nvidia-installer-dkms with the -n option to restore the nouveau driver, I got the output that the mkinitcpio -p linux command returned nonzero suggesting to run it manually.

I did ran it manually and got the following errors in the process:

==> ERROR: module not found: `_modeset'
==> ERROR: module not found: `_uvm'
==> ERROR: module not found: `_drm'

The following code segment is responsible for the problem, as the nvidia modules are prefixed with nvidia_modname:

nvidia-installer-dkms/nvidia-installer-dkms:
lines 369-381:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        # Remove nouveau and nvidia from MODULES line (just in case)
        if line.startswith("MODULES"):
            if "nouveau" in line or "nvidia" in line:
                old_line = line
                line = line.replace("nouveau", "")
                line = line.replace("nvidia", "")
                line = line.replace(",,", ",")
                line = line.replace('",', '"')
                line = line.replace(',"', '"')
                msg = "{0} will be changed to {1} in {2}"
                log_info(msg.format(old_line.strip("\n"), line.strip("\n"), mkinitcpio_path))
                modified = True
        new_mklines.append(line)

I have no knowledge on the need for this step (the comment makes me think it might not be needed), but in case it's needed I could implement a small parsing routine to get an array from the value of the MODULES variable, and then change the code approach to parse the line and remove any value starting with nvidia_ prefix. But first I need to understand whether the underlying logic in the current code is correct.

Shouldn't the code keep (or even add) the nouveau to the modules list in my specific use-case? Or keep/add the nvidia modules when the opposite is done?

Also, making a copy of the changed files before editing and maybe having a verbose argument to show the diff after changing would be quite important IMO! I could help in my free time, even though I'm no python expert.

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a matter related to the reflector-simple tool, specifically concerning the categorization of countries. Currently, the tool treats China and Taiwan as separate countries, which may lead to inaccuracies.

I kindly request an enhancement to the reflector-simple tool that would recognize Taiwan as a distinct region rather than a separate country. This adjustment aims to align with the sensitivity of geopolitical considerations and adhere to a neutral stance, treating Taiwan as part of a broader region.

The purpose of this request is to foster inclusivity and avoid any potential political implications that may arise from categorizing Taiwan as an independent country. By representing Taiwan as a region within the tool, we can contribute to a more nuanced and politically neutral user experience.

I appreciate your attention to this matter and the continuous effort to improve the Endavouros ecosystem. If you require further clarification or information, please feel free to reach out.

Thank you for your understanding and consideration.

In case users do not need it, they can only remove it with welcome itself.
Would be more convenient to have it optional from my point of view.

Hello,

it would be great if in the config would be a variable for commands to be executed before or after the update.

For example, you could use timeshift to create a snapshot.

Hi maintainers of the EndeavourOS,

I'm the operator of the open-source mirrors at Jilin University, China. I've got some requests from students recently for an EndeavourOS mirror, so I'm going to do that. I didn't, however, see any guidance for mirroring this distro. I'd like to know:

1. Do you welcome new public mirror for this project?
2. Are the resources in the repository all redistributable?
3. What's the rsync (or something else) endpoint for mirroring?
4. How often should I schedule the sync task?
5. Do you have a mail list (or something else) for mirrors?

The mirrors will be available on https://mirrors.jlu.edu.cn. Please note in the meantime, only IPv6 is accessible on the Internet, but the IPv4 will be open soon.

Thanks for your time and attention!

Please build reflector-simple for Arch and any Arch based distros (Not EndeavorOS or built for a specific distro). This way anyone can install reactor-simple on any Arch based distro and easily manager their mirrors.

Updating the EndeavourOS mirrors can't get one of the repositories: https://endeavour.remi.lu/repo/$repo/$arch

Online I can find the mirror here:
https://de.freedif.org/EndeavourOS/repo/endeavouros

Is the link in the config file wrong?

Thank you!

pahis is not working for AUR packages.
Example:

29# pahis zoom
Error: package 'zoom' does not exist.
...

The reason is the package query pahis is using in line 105:

pacman -Si "$pkg" >& /dev/null || DIE "package '$pkg' does not exist."

If I change this to

pacman -Qi "$pkg" >& /dev/null || DIE "package '$pkg' does not exist."

The AUR packages are supprted just fine.

Example:

./mypahis zoom

gives

[2021-03-30T07:54:14+0200] [ALPM] upgraded zoom (5.6.0-1 -> 5.6.1-1)
[2021-03-23T07:20:16+0100] [ALPM] upgraded zoom (5.5.4-1 -> 5.6.0-1)
[2021-03-01T17:38:14+0100] [ALPM] upgraded zoom (5.5.2-1 -> 5.5.4-1)
[2021-02-24T10:32:04+0100] [ALPM] installed zoom (5.5.2-1)
[2021-02-24T10:31:44+0100] [ALPM] removed zoom (5.5.2-1)
[2021-02-22T17:32:45+0100] [ALPM] installed zoom (5.5.2-1)

Is there any reason for using pacman -Si?

Dear development team,

I recently saw, that it supports paru and I migrated to it.
Sadly, i can't remove yay or the eos-update-notifier will be removed as well, since it is a hard dependency.

As far as I know paru is the official successor of yay since the main developer left yay to rewrite yay in rust and name it paru with more features and 100% yay compatibility.

But using paru and yay on the same computer bloats the storage space, since both have their own git cache in /home/$HOME/.cache/{paru|yay}

I find it really inconvenient that pahis is using a pager. When I close the pager I do not see the output of the pahis command anymore. I do not have any trace of pahis output when I scroll back in my terminal window. This is inconvenient from my point of view.

If I wanted to use a pager I could do this on my own by piping the pahis output to a pager. There is not need for pahis to force a pager on me.

I believe pahis should better print the output directly to the terminal. Or at least provide a command line option to turn off the pager.

Please add reflector-simple into the official Arch repo for simple installation using pacman.

I was exploring my themes today when I ended up stepping into this broken link:

As you can see the link is pointing to a community repository, and according with this announcement, they were merged into the extra one.

Probably its current address would be https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/arc-gtk-theme/

Because of this, I thought about sending a PR fixing it, so I decided to take a look if there was other broken links that would fall in the same situation, and I also found this one:

Same thing, probably its current address: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/yad/

Then I saw these two lines during my search:

I don't know if these references might also require updating due to the repository changes. For that reason, I thought opening an Issue would be a more reasonable approach as this goes beyond of simply fixing a broken link.

Hope this could be helpful. Thanks for all the work!

is this be reason or accident?

When updating my system I found that the version number for eos-translations has not incremented, but leaped 22 major versions:

Package (18)                  Old Version       New Version       Net Change  Download Size

endeavouros/eos-translations  1.22-1            23-2                0.02 MiB       0.07 MiB

And this is likely a typo introduced in this commit, as the previous change to that line bumped the minor version from 1.21 to 1.22.

why is polkit-gnome added to depency ?

just curius..

not al environment use it.

I noticed that the installer doesn't have support for the open GPU kernel modules from NVIDIA. It would be great if it was one of the options people can opt for when installing NVIDIA drivers.

When trying to install legacy drivers (e.g. 390), it correctly notifies to use the AUR packages with yay (as does the Discovery entry).

However, in my case the kernel-lts repository was still enabled in pacman.conf and the wrong drivers got installed. It took some time to realize this because the driver was somewhat working but with very poor performance.

I noticed that the latest EndeavourOS pacman.conf doesn't contain kernel-lts anymore. Is this even maintained now that Jonathon passed away? At least it's still listed in the Arch wiki.

I think it would be a good idea to add a note to Discovery and nvidia-inst that kernel-lts should be removed.

This script https://github.com/endeavouros-team/PKGBUILDS/blob/master/nvidia-installer-common/nvidia-driver-supported-branches is broken.

output:

Even if I remove the "us." from the url, it fails

I see in the actual app there is meld after the above string.
Why not put the word in the string?
It makes the syntax of the translation weird.

reflector-simple on vanilla Arch not working - i've got it working by updating the makepkg. However on testing i can resize the shell window that launches reflector-simple, but not the GUI of reflector-simple that comes up. On top left of gui there is a mini menu of resize, but it doesn't work. The gui is ok but too large to see the "ok" botton on bottom. i.e i can click in Countries but not actually run it , if that makes sense. Any ideas

update i got around it by shifting gui upwards using alt + F7 - it worked but a nice resize option would be great

I'm trying to track down the PKGBUILD files for all EndeavourOS packages (as part of hlein/distro-backdoor-scanner#2), but when I compare those listed by pacman -Sl endeavouros to those in the https://github.com/endeavouros-team/PKGBUILDS repo, there are some packages I can't find:

$ pacman -Sl | expac -S '%r|%e|%v' - | sort -u >~/package_list
$ git clone https://github.com/endeavouros-team/PKGBUILDS endeavouros && cd endeavouros
$ for P in $(egrep '^endeavouros\|' ~/package_list | cut -d\| -f2) ; do test -d $P || echo -n "$P " ; done ; echo
arc-gtk-theme bashdb downgrade lxdm mkinitcpio-openswap paru rate-mirrors yay zfs-dkms zfs-utils 

There's an arc-gtk-theme-eos/ so that probably covers that, and there's a yay.not-used/ so... skip that. but the others...?

I'm new to the Arch / EnOS ecosystem so maybe I'm missing something obvious. Do they maybe live in AUR that I need to look in?
