When starting up my HP laptop stops and spins with the following message forever
“Ok proxy configuration demon”
Regardless of which Linux kernel of EndeavourOS, latest updates kernel.
I have been so satisfied and happy with EndeavourOS, about two years. But now really getting tired. Could be an old config file. But I don’t have time to spend hours trying to find what is causing those startup problems. Then the alternative is to find a linux OS that is more conservative and only runs with file/config updates that are safe. But it’s sad to leave EndeavourOS I’ve been happy with EndeavourOS. It’s been about a month since the problem started to appear. Smaller problems that I solved with my many years of knowledge of Linux and now bigger ones that I can’t manage to solve.
It seems to have calmed down with the boot "Ok starting proxy configuration daemon”. I have no control over what was updated during the day. But I have to check for a few days first before I consider the problem solved.
I thank you “chikenf00t” for your reply. All honor to you “chikenf00t”. Always a success for a community if any member tries to help another user of EndeavourOS.
Looks like I got everything right. Now EndeavourOS is like new again. But the question is whether it would not have been faster to do a new installation. I had saved time.
But the question is what created the problems? I have some thoughts.
I installed TOR + Privoxy on one of two browsers. Not because I have any major use for TOR + Privoxy. But thought that it was possibly justified in some context. I followed the instructions carefully. Yes! It worked great for a long time.
But suddenly these problems began to appear. I don’t know if that’s the right conclusion.
But now the crap is gone and some other things. Now the configuration of EndeavourOS works as it is supposed to work.
But now I have a new problem.
I installed Gnome firmware. There was an update, to Secure Boot dbx 371. I of course restarted my laptop after updating.
But now it has resulted that every time I start the computer or restart the computer I get additional text.
“Reboot is recommended due to the upgrade of core system packages.”
Can you share what you’re looking at? Also, can you share the output of just a simple yay command to make sure that the message is displaying unnecessarily?
As for your other question, I honestly tried to understand the reading but I’m still not sure what causes that issue. It does seem that it is related to the network config so I would assume your work on TOR and Privoxy had something to do with it.
Recently run update yay. The text is of course partially in Swedish. My language.

Ah, to be honest I’m not sure how that script works. I’m pretty sure it’s an EOS thing, though. Maybe @manuel would be able to chime in. Fortunately, it’s not as major as the original problem
I can’t reproduce the reboot recommendation issue here (on KDE), so it could be something Cinnamon related, or related to some other program, like the kernel, wayland, or the notify service.
So if you try another kernel, does the issue still occur?
Or with x11 instead of wayland?
Thanks manuel, (EndeavourOS app team) for engaging with my issues as well. It seems I solved my problems. Explaining how and all the steps becomes far too complicated. You can say briefly that the one conclusion led me on to a final solution.
But that wayland was somehow involved can probably be a correct conclusion.
I also changed to gdm.
Now I don’t have strange messages about restarting the computer for updates that don’t require a restart.
As for the first issue I asked about, I am now absolutely certain that the blueman applet was part of the cause of the issues. I don’t have a concrete or good answer to why the blueman applet created problems.
But when I changed to gnome-bluetooth all the strange startup issues went away. "bootup looping on “starting proxy configuration daemon”
