As pamac-aur-git maintainer on AUR, I prefer from far a version built from last git than a version based on pamac 5.x code.
If you have some troubles, just deactivate multiple parallel download.
pamac-aur-git it is then! 
But, speaking as a Linux newb… I know that latest/greatest isn’t -always- the best. With switching to the git version of pamac, is there anything I should worry about or should I take a more cautious approach to applying updates to pamac-aur-git?
Also, thanks for mentioning the parallel download thing. I switched it to zero and I don’t see pamac downloading the same files over and over again!
Pamac-classic
A graphical package manager for pacman
Pamac
Graphical Package Manager for Manjaro Linux (based on libalpm)
Pamac classic is under active development also, it is only based on the code used before, as pamac is build for Manjaro, and this make it problematic as Manjaro is holding back packages and Kernel versions…
Install with disk encryption enabled will not boot:
- Asks for passphrase for partition ([uuid]) and gets it
- pauses for 30+ seconds
- error: acces denied.
- error: no suck cryptodisk found.
- error: disk `cryptouuid/[the same uuid] not found.
I can mount decrypt & mount the partition manually if I boot from the usb stick
Edit: if set up with a separate boot partition I can get past this, but still will not start (will continue with details in next post).
Well… I did not have a single problem - besides some git related bugs - with main pamac. Which is working flawlessly now on my Archlinux.
can you please open an issue at github?
https://github.com/endeavouros-team/calamares-offlineinstaller/issues
There are some issues with partition module and encryption, not solved upstream on calamares code itself.
There is a newer version now, but we need to wait till they solve some of this issues.
We will provide workaround (mostly a handout on what NOT to do on installation) for the release.

The count down is on to launch! I just want to congratulate you guys for pulling this off in such a short time. I hope i haven’t missed anyone. I know there is still a ton of work to be done. I am looking forward to the online installer and i realize this is a huge endeavour no pun intended! 
I have installed and tried the beta more times than i want to count. I have just got off the full install of Arch done the hard way and i’m back. EndeavourOS is Arch done with flare. It’s drawn me in just like Antergos did. I keep coming back looking for more …intrigued with what i see. Without Antergos and the community i probably would have moved to another distro. I am happy to see that a lot of the Antergos community has joined. I look forward to see Endeavour on the distrowatch list and watch it climb. Appreciate all the hard work and time involved.
So as the count down begins 2019-07-14T04:00:00Z… Happy Launch Day!
Yeah, kudos to the team. I guess there is great excitement going on in the dev team right now, final day before release. but really @ricklinux, my only contribution to the distro was some work on the logo, I wouldn’t want to have accolades attributed to me as I’m not involved in doing anything on the dev part which is the part that really matters.
I see this is the forum screen issue. Thanks.
Do you have to reinstall for this fix on Xfce or is it an update?
Okay …i have tried that and it works. Thanks. Anything on the lock screen button on Xfce? It does not work on Xfce but it does in Cinnamon.
I haven’t checked that yet, not sure about joe.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xfce#Lock_the_screen
In particular, an alternative locker light-locker integrates well with xfce4-power-manager: once installed, Xfce Power Manager’s setting gains an additional Security tab to configure light-locker and the existing Lock screen when system is going for sleep setting is relocated under this tab. It is then possible to set in this GUI whether the session should be locked upon screensaver activity or whenever the system goes to sleep.
Solution? here:
sudo pacman -S light-locker
xfconf-query -c xfce4-session -p /general/LockCommand -s " *light-locker-command --lock* " --create -t string
Does a fresh install of the stable version add anything than an online update to an existing EndeavourOS beta install provides?

(or sudo -H mousepad /etc/systemd/journald.conf) > thanks to @axt for the right command… b.t.w. better not to use a GUI to edit files under root…
and you will be able to preserve journal after reboots…
I installed the alternative lightlocker. I ran the command. I see the security tab in power management. It doesn’t look any different to me. The lock button still has no action? Im not sure if it’s going to automatically lock? Where is there a screen saver? Just a blank screen? Then it will lock?
