Fresh EOS KDE Install - No yad, eos-welcome not working

Hey gang,

Following a fresh EOS install, I was immediately presented with the fact that the EOS-Welcome app would not load. After launching it from terminal I was presented with the error “eos-welcome requires package ‘yad’”

I remember there being a yad-eos but neither yad nor yad-eos were installed on this fresh install. I did Online Install → KDE → added CUPS → systemd

Let me know if you need any more information. Obviously, I manually installed yad(pacman didn’t find yad-eos) and it fixed the welcome app.

-EDIT-

Looks like yad-eos no longer exists and instead yad was moved to the endeavouros package database.

Screenshot is below that showcases all the required packages, missing from this fresh install.

Did you use the latest ISO to install?

Yup. File is named “EndeavourOS_Endeavour-2024.06.25.iso”, I downloaded it on 7/26/2024. I tested it on a different machine, and it did the same thing.

Should be fixed in welcome 24.8-1.
