Hey guys,I’im trying to use the new usr_pkglist.txt option in the installer but it doesn’t seem to install any of my packages at all. No matter how I enter the package names, it’ll actually show in the logs that they are being picked up on, but they don’t seem to actually install at all. I’ll go and boot up the system after the install, look for the programs and they are no where to be seen, not even in terminal.
The file looks like this
# Add package names available from repositories (not from AUR) one package-name per line.
# Note: not for offline install.
# Basic programs
blender
discord-canary

Did you do the offline install?
Did you look at file /var/log/pacman.log on the installed system to see if the packages were actually installed?
Which ISO version did you use?
I used the endeavouros-2021.08.27-x86_64.iso iso, and I used the online install. I can see in the pacman log that it shows the packages being selected and installed… but oddly none of them show up on the system
I find that very strange unless the mirrors aren’t synced and it couldn’t download them and just tried and bypassed them? But all of them? Have you only tried once?
Edit: Did you update the mirrors first on the Welcome app?
I did try twice, and it didn’t work (though I did do an install right before I left my house, but Im not at home to go and confirm if it did install this time though). One thing I did do was do run the mirror update command in the welcome app and it just said it there’s nothing to do
The mirror update doesn’t say that. You have to make some selections for country and number of mirrors. etc.
Edit: I really don’t know how many users have tried this function but i have literally tested it hundreds of times. No…I’m not joking. Usually i just enter my packages right after the first commented lines with nothing else. No spaces no commenting nothing. I usually am always 13-16 packages. It’s always worked for me.
I go to try to replicate this by using the posted package list…
