Calamares fails - maybe pacman issue?

Hi to all,
today I wanted to install new Endeavour installation in my machine where I have many different Linux systems in parallel:
1 partition home
1 partition swap
…and many partitions ~70GB where different Linux systems are installed. So I choosed a new partition for my task and started installation via Calamares. Partition is recognized, it is filled with some data (structure looks like a normal linux installation) - but afer some time installation fails. I have pasted the calamares-log here: https://termbin.com/woe5
Any ideas what cn be the problem?

You could try updating the mirrorlist before starting the install.
Use reflector-simple e.g. from Welcome.

I have the exact same issue, I have tried multiple times with updated mirrors.
Same error https://termbin.com/2hf9
This is online installer KDE and Base system selected.

Yes - nearly same task- GUI is KDE, i additionally selected printig, hp print and accessibility. Log with new mirrors is here: https://termbin.com/li1d - still failing.

From @df8oe’s log:

WARNING: unable to fetch netinstall package lists.

Looks like a trouble with Gitlab’s page. Going to

https://gitlab.com/endeavouros-filemirror/EndeavourOS-calamares/-/raw/main/netinstall.yaml

gets me to a 404-page-not-found page.

I see that error in my log aswell, and the error window says:

The package manager could not make changes to the installed system. The command <pre>pacman</pre> returned error code 1.

Or it is a path issue in installer. I cannot find the yaml on Gitlab at all.

The path exists here.

It seems to be a path error in calamares. This is the corrected URL: https://gitlab.com/endeavouros-filemirror/EndeavourOS-calamares/-/raw/main/calamares/files/netinstall.yaml

Edit:
@manuel: crossed postings…

So is there anyway we can update this path somewhere ourselves?

Looks like the path is not correct in calamares.
@joekamprad

You could try changing the path in file
/etc/calamares/modules/netinstall.conf
in livesession before install.

EDIT: please report if that helps (or not). :sweat_smile:

Yes! It did install now when I corrected the path.

What ISO version are you using?

cat /usr/lib/endeavouros-release

I am unsure what the file was, since I just reinstalled my computer. But I grabbed the latest ISO I found on the website 2 days ago (Wed 12. Jan).

And which DE/WM did you select?

Base system + KDE is the only options I picked.

Thanks!
I’m now trying the same here.
Interesting that Xfce did install successfully without any change.

EDIT: KDE installed OK. Log: https://clbin.com/X26Na

It is EndeavourOS_Atlantis_neo-21_5.iso / eos-2021.12.17

Fo checking you simply can take a look at /etc/calamares/modules/netinstall.conf if the wrong path is set.

That seems not to be the only bug. Installation now finishes without problems - but when I start the system I am ending in a console login. I can login now. When I try startx I get a graphical screen with two consoles and the possibility to move the “x” of xserver - but no KDE…
