i’ve updated ventoy and im going through the process of installing again…will update in a few minutes.
hi, it happened again, so this is the log:
https://termbin.com/lcso
Oopsie, it looks like xsane dropped to the AUR (orphaned package). See if you can find it in the package selection menu and “uncheck” it.

are there any other things needed? or is it only xsane so far?
I think that package is the only showstopper at the moment.
It appears to be included in the “hp-printer” package group (as an optional dependency of hplip). https://github.com/endeavouros-team/EndeavourOS-packages-lists/blob/master/hp-printer It should be fine to just uncheck that one package if you can find it since it is not a hard dependency.
When did that happen? I’m showing xsane in both the AUR and extra repos:
$ yay -Ss xsane
aur/xsane 0.999-6 (+0 0.00) (Orphaned)
A GTK-based X11 frontend for SANE and plugin for Gimp.

extra/xsane-gimp 0.999-6 (273.4 KiB 799.4 KiB)

I think it just happened. Go ahead and update and it’ll disappear from the extra repo.

@BluishHumility is it possible to mark 2 solutions in a thread?
EDIT: i want to mark “choosing grub2 option/updating ventoy” and “removing xsane from hp printers” as a solution.
Only one solution can be marked, another reason for the “one issue per topic” guideline I suppose. No worries which one you mark. I think grub2 mode solve the original issue, but it was good we continued the discussion because now we know that we should remove xsane from the default package list on the ISO (so other folks don’t run into this issue).

Irrelevant to your issue here, but bear in mind that (according to a XFCE dev himself) plasma is almost as resource hungry as XFCE nowadays. I’d be glad, however, to hear your own experience.
Thank’s to @Yuujin and @BluishHumility BUG tracked down and resolved!

sorry if i got it wrong, do you mean that the amount of resources kde consumes = xfce? meaning that if xfce is a “lightweight DE” then plasma kde is approaching that?
Exactly. Actually, a few years ago, there was a twit by a XFCE dev claiming that KDE was in par with XFCE as far as system resources are concerned.
I believe that dalto has put it in its practical dimensions, in a discussion here:
There are (at least) 3 metrics to consider here in the forum:
- Memory Usage - In 2022, plasma and xfce are similar in memory usage with plasma being slightly lower for most users. It is not enough of a difference that most people would care.
- CPU/GPU usage - Out of the box, plasma has many more effects and animations than xfce. However, if you normalize these, they will be similar.
- Disk usage - Plasma is heavier on disk usage than xfce. If you have an hdd or other slow storage device, there will be a noticeable difference here.
That being said, they are very different so which one you prefer should also be factored.
