Sorry on getting back to you late. My mom was in town doing some business, and I spent the day with her; plus I purchased and installed an SSD HD and reinstalled Endeavour.
I haven’t had any problem reaching the mirrors or updating so far. The only thing that comes to mind on error messages for some mirrors: too much traffic on them.
No matter how fast the Internet gets these problems will still come up. I studied to become a computer network tech when MS-DOS 6.0 and Windows 3.11 was the cutting edge on computers (yeah I’m that old! ). That knowledge still comes in handy - even these days.
Hi @manuel, do you remember yesterday, I ran a couple of commands in terminal to remove kalu, update system and then install package “eos-update-notifier”…
$ sudo pacman -Rs kalu
reboot, then…
$ sudo pacman -Syu
then install package “eos-update-notifier”
$ sudo pacman -S eos-update-notifier
then reboot
can now see “Endeavour OS Greeter” window on desktop
I just clicked “see you later”
Today, when I booted up, I see new greeter, but then terminal window opened up without my intervention and asks for my password…
… begin terminal output …

I thought this was a bit strange so I rebooted and everything looks good. Just thought I would share this FYI. You guys probably know what happened here.
BTW, thanks for a great distro, everything is working great again, I am so glad you guys have continued where Antergos left off.
This kalu incident is the first issue I have come across tbh.
This is working exactly as it is supposed to. I also have kalu in the notifications applet left over but kalu is uninstalled and it is just left over stuff that doesn’t get removed and not bothering anything.
Yes, I saw you did that. I was just showing that it is on my Cinnamon desktop but Kalu is uninstalled and it doesn’t cause any issue. Just left over residual stuff. You get the same thing in Windows where icons are left over in the task manager even when the program is uninstalled. I wish it would clear these things too.
