Hi everyone,
On my RPi400, I have successfully completed steps 1 and 2 of the EOS installation.
But in step 3, “libwnck”, a dependency of “lxpanel”, is not found.
Do I have to change the mirrors (I have chosen the German and London ones)?
(Edit: on pkgs.com, there is only libwnck3 available for ArchLinux aarch64)
Thanks for your help
looks like packaging issue … package should be named libwnck …
On arch it is that case:
https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/libwnck/
the package info page on archarm shows the same as on arch only the corresponding package is missing:
https://archlinuxarm.org/packages/aarch64/lxpanel
In Arch Linux x86_64 repo, libwnck is listed as an orphan and has not been updated since

https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/libwnck/
and evidently because of that Arch Linux Arm did not include it in their repos.
I don’t think the Arch Linux Arm devs are going to want to revive a package this old.
I will have to take a look at this.

It looks like for some reason in the Arch Linux Arm repos this file is called libwnck3
|Arch|Repo|Name|Version|Description|
|aarch64|extra|libwnck3|40.1-1|Library to manage X windows and workspaces (via pagers, tasklists, etc.)|
|armv7h|extra|libwnck3|40.1-1|Library to manage X windows and workspaces (via pagers, tasklists, etc.)|
These files are also orphaned and last updated 2019-12-10 08:40 UTC
From a tty console window, try installing libwnck3
$ sudo pacman -S libwnck
error: target not found: libwnck
$ sudo pacman -S libwnck3

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Thanks Joe and Pudge for your answer,
Yes, I have already installed libwnck3, but lxpanel always asks for libwnck.
Do I need to cobble together some kind of sym link ?

I just did a test install of LXDE using the endeavour-ARM-install-V2.7.sh install-script on
my RPi 400 on a USB SSD. Here is the lightdm-slick-greeter screen
Here is a screenshot
Everything is good in the new endeavour-ARM-install-V2.7.sh script.

could it be about it uses now lxpanel-gtk3 ? what doe snot depend on libwnck ?
I still had the LXDE test install on the RPi 400 from above.
[don@RPi4-64Bit ~]$ pacman -Q | grep libwnck
libwnck3 40.1-1
[don@RPi4-64Bit ~]$ pacman -Q | grep lxpanel
lxpanel-gtk3 0.10.1-1
It looks like you are correct. lxpanel-gtk3 and libwnck3 are installed as per netinstall.yaml
If you want me to, I can do test install on a x86_64 bare metal with the latest RC ISO later today.

GTK2 has been around for a long time and it seems being deprecated in favor of GTK3.
Anyway, I think I can try the Pudge patches tonight or tomorrow.
See you soon 
Hi Pudge,
Your v2.7 script works perfectly on my RPi400 with a 32GB micro SD card.
Thanks to you, Joe, Bryan and all those who make EOS such a great distro
