Hello i wanted to install encrypted EOS on my Dell Laptop but calamares stop the installation progress.

I deleted encrypted partitions with partition manager in LiveUSB then started Calamares. at 32% calamares stopped the installation with the error message: The package manager could not modify the installed system. The \< pre \> pacman\< /pre \> command generated error code 1. ---

Are you using an old ISO, or [the current one](https://endeavouros.com/latest-release/)? ---

installation succesful! but on start after i set my password for encryptet partition i get an grub error: file ‘/boot/amd-ucode.img’ not found Press any key to continue and nothing happens. my usb stick was equipped with eos from 10.10. surely these files are no longer on the new image. I decided to download the latest eos image thousand thanks @pebcak, all in all it was my mistake. i should have used the latest image right away 😉 as @r0ckhopper said: always use the latest image 😉 ---

Give it some time and perhaps don’t compare it with or expect it to act like other DE:s. After all it’s GNOME, so you will need to do things the GNOME way. You might like it. ---
