Package manager error during installation

Hello,

I’ve been trying to install EndeavourOS with kde and xcfe but I’ve been running into multiple issues…

First, the installer did not seem to start on its own when I choose the online or offline installation mode from the Welcome menu. I managed to fix that by running these commands:
Online:
sudo cp /etc/calamares/settings_online.conf /etc/calamares/settings.conf sudo calamares -D8 | tee endeavour-install.log
Offline:
sudo cp /etc/calamares/settings_offline.conf /etc/calamares/settings.conf sudo calamares -D8 | tee endeavour-install.log

Every time I choose the online mode, the installation fails with an error that can be found here : https://termbin.com/bhxz (this is for an xfce install but its pretty much the same error for kde)

However, when I install via the offline mode the installation succeeds, but I get a black screen after running eos-udpate --aur. (I’ve tried with only using yay to update the system but it resulted in the same unbootable black screen)

Thank you very much for your help!

To solve your online installation issue, remove xsane from the list of packages to install.

For your black screen issue, can you share the output of inxi -Fxxxz

Thank you very much, the online installation worked!
I don’t have issues anymore with the black screen when I upgrade the system.

Thank you for your fast response!
