First you weren’t talking about Antergos at all. You were giving an opinion that EOS’s goal is to be Arch without the install headaches and i disagreed with you because that’s just your opinion or perception not mine. Also no one has defined reasons that one needs to use EOS for. I have no idea why you feel the need to rant about this but I’m not interested in arguing with you about your opinions or perceptions. I have my own. Just because i disagreed with what you have said you’re making a lot of false comments. I just disagreed with your view that’s all. Nothing more. Period.

Sounds wrong partly… as of it’s not pacman that does the ranking, it is a rank script detecting if there is a ranked list already and if not it will rank inside install process before it goes to install any packages.

Moderation notice:
@decryptedchaos @ricklinux this is off-topic a lot already and both offending each other please stop this.
In case the theme burns on someone’s fingers, go open a thread about this specific topic.
@decryptedchaos rick is only giving his personal opinion here, not speaking for EndeavourOS “officially”

I actually meant calamares not pacman 
Calamares calls a script that checks if the Arch mirrorlist has been changed by the user or not.
If the user has changed it, the script stops. Otherwise the script ranks the Arch mirrors.
So, the Arch mirrorlist will be ranked, either by the user or calamares.
The issue was the hotfix that overwrote the ranked script. This hotfix is now removed.

Thanks for fix this issue
I thinking was only me
One question… Before publish the new ISO, anybody try install this ISO and test it?
I installed EndeavourOS_Endeavour-2024.06.25.iso last night and everything went normally (mirror from Germany).
We do test the ISO’s This issue just occurred over the weekend after the ISO was put together not before or during testing. Which has now been fixed.

We do a lot of testing before releasing ISO. There is a dedicated group of users doing this internally.
This specific issue is outside release as it was a non working git fix, these get applied to current released ISO on the run, without the need to release new ISO file.
And second issue it had was not happen in all cases. Me per Example was not able to reproduce it directly, but with the hints from users reporting we find out the cause.
As I said earlier it was holiday time here over Europe too, usually we are a lot faster on removing such little issues.

Ok, I understanded. Great work with endeavouros! Thanks
I had the same problem now in March and just doing those steps you mentioned helped. However the install sometimes did the same thing but not for long.
I’ve noticed that I’ve had the same problems with sources for the updates many times as well. No other distribution have had this much problem.
Why is this happening EndevourOS and no other Arch fork I’ve tested?
Just as you drunkenvicar, I’m one that has the most odd and outrageous problems. Not just with Linux in general, its regarding everything tech related.
I have never been able to just read a FAQ to resolve a problem. It always takes another humans help or maybe I solve the problem myself after I’ve been close to end my precious time on this planet.
If this is a Karmic Lesson, I sure as hell don’t want to get reborn again.

There are some factors that may affect installs being your physical location and the mirrors in use and also your internet speed itself. When i say mirrors i mean what mirror locations you have set to rank mirrors based on your location. Not all mirrors around the globe work as well as the others. Even in locations such as the US they can have issues.
