Got this error while trying to install LXDE

Type y and enter to remove the conflicting package.

Edit: is this happening while installing from Calamares at stage 2?

I didn’t remember having an option to enter anything.

Yes, I realized later that this is happening while installing from Calamares at stage 2.
Is that right?

As the quote says, Arch has changed the dependencies and what you see is @sradjoker working on the image to incorporate this.

Once Sravan is finished, some testing on RPi 4 audio would be appreciated.

I will try to tell you when, but I will be in and out today. In the meantime, just say yes to remove pipewire-media-session and see if that works.

I’m not given a chance to answer the question. After entering Name, password, hostname, etc. It fails after I confirm the setup.

BTW, I was running the install on a EOS x86_64 PC using the git instructions. referred to here:https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/installation-without-boot-iso/28756

In that case, we will have to wait until @sradjoker changes the package list in netinstall.yaml and reissues the image.

It would be the same if running via the live ISO.

Thanks for reporting this.

As a workaround, in the installer session, you could edit the file /etc/calamares/modules/netinstall.yaml scroll down to this section:

description: "Audio handling tools apps and libs"
        selected: false
        packages:
          - alsa-firmware
          - alsa-plugins
          - alsa-utils
          - pavucontrol
          - pipewire-pulse
          - pipewire-media-session
          - pipewire-alsa
          - pipewire-jack
          - rtkit

and replace pipewire-media-session with wireplumber. Save the file and start the installer.

Hopefully this will work.

This issue has been reported in the main x64 edition too.
In our case, there is no choice but to issue a new image. Arch sometimes makes changes that breaks installs. In the meanwhile, you can follow @pebcak’s suggestion.

I will build a new image by tonight. I will update you when that’s done.

Fyi. There must be more changes needed. I made pebcak’s change, still got an error:

Looks like the same issue:

:: wireplumber and pipewire-media-session are in conflict. Remove pipewire-media-session? [y/N] error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)

:: wireplumber and pipewire-media-session are in conflict

What if not installing anything pipewire/wireplumber until post-install? Just removing them all from the .yaml file. They are after all not crucial for the installed system to boot up and function.

13

I’ll wait until the new image is available

14

I have lots of images sitting around to play with :grinning:

15

New images released!!

16

I just did this update on my installed arm desktop.

17

I just created a new install USB SSD using the install script from github on my EOS PC and the SSD booted and installed on my RPI4 LXDE correctly with the new image.

Yes you can use the install script. But you can also use the installer on the latest ISO in Welcome to image the ssd and then hook it up to the Pi and run the install.

I know about the bootable ISO, but for me since I have an EOS PC up and running all the time, it just easier to run the github script and plug in the USB SSD.

It would be cool if on the EOS PC Welcome screen there was a tab/button to create the ARM image on a SD/SSD without having to run the commands shown on github, Not just on the bootable ISO but on the installed image.

Yes …maybe that would be something in the future that could be done. For now I’m just happy to get some experience on the Pi with EOS. On mine i just updated it and replaced pipewire-media-session. I did this on the regular install also.
