EndeavourOS ARM is reworked and back in action

That has been fixed in the Plasma install environment, and will be in the next release of the PBP images. Thanks for reporting. In Gnome one can go to Settings - Mouse & Touchpad - then click on “Tap to Click” to enable it. I don’t know why Gnome doesn’t enable it by default.

Your PBP has an ethernet jack? I’m jealous. I just got my PBP about two weeks ago so I assume it is the latest hardware revision. WiFi works great as that is what I need to run Calamares. I had to purchase an USB3 to ethernet adapter which also has 3 extra USB connectors on it.

Thank you for your test installs. The Gnome Tap to click is on my to do list now.

You’re right, i’ve just found out it’s the same since April! :scream: Thanks for pointing this out. :sweat_smile:

No ethernet jack, it’s also an adapter that I use. But now that I think of it, the usb3 (or 2, not sure) adapter works better than the usb-C adapter that I used with these test installs. I’ll try the other one tomorrow, I’ll call it a day now.

In regards to all the Pinebook Pro posts.

The ddimg image is working now and the new ddimg-pbp-20121216 is available in git hub.
So far it seems it is working well. This would be Method 2.

The rootfs tar image is not working, and is not available in git hub. I will work some more on it tomorrow. There is a problem in the image-install-calamares.sh script which both Method 1 and 3 utilize. Sorry for the delay.

Pinebook Pro

The rootfs-pbp-20231216 tar image is available.
The problem was in image-install-calamares.sh so if using Method 3 to install, be sure to get the latest version.

wget https://github.com/endeavouros-arm/images/raw/main/image-install-calamares.sh

AS to the icons in the panel not doing anything, this can be avoided by:
After the image is burned to a target storage device, upon first boot the absolutely first thing to be done is activate the WiFi connecion. If anything tries to access the internet before the WiFi is activated bad things happen.

The tap to click should be activated by default.
One finger tap = left mouse click
Two finger tap = right mouse click

When it is desired to change the window size, I haven’t figured out how to do that on the Touchpad.

I think the Pinebook Pro images should be in good shape now. If not you know how to get in touch with me.

To report back on the Ethernet matter on the Pinebook Pro, the test install has Ethernet with the usb3 adapter immediately upon connecting the adapter, so the lack of Ethernet was due to the adapter I was using (a usb-C one).

Install went fine. Any issues may have been quirks from my network, but they are included just in case.

I had an issue where the buttons to begin the installer wouldn’t work while connected to wifi. I also couldn’t launch programs like Konsole, Firefox, and eos-log-tool. Disconnecting from the network let things launch. To install I disconnected from the network, began the installer, and then reconnected to wifi on that first page (Calamares gave a no internet error there). Things worked smoothly from there.

Thanks for your work!

Hey Pudge big boss dont u wanna port this beauty for khadas edge 2 ? Its the one im using at the moment.

Welcome to the EndeavourOS forum. I hope you enjoy your time here.

I haven’t considered the Khadas edge 2. It has the rk3588S chip and the Radxa ROCK 5B has the rk3588 chip. I haven’t fully researched this, but I believe the two require different kernels.

Has a download for a Khadas edge 2 image that is based on ArchLinux.
