Hi everyone,
I hope you can give me some help since I cannot go further with my attempt to install EndevourOs on a usb-pendrive (proper install - I want a portable system).
Let me first tell recapitulate my hardware and procedure
usb live: created with rufus (partition scheme, mbr) and etcher portable
target usb: Kingston Datatraveler. I tried on different ones, new and fast new, of every size.
Calamares install: both methods . I would like to install mate, which I prefer as compared to xfce since it support better compiz and it is a more complete desktop. Anyway, I tried also the offline mode
partitioning: automatic and manual (partition scheme: gpt, sdx1: fat32, 300 Mb, flag: boot, esp with gparted, mount point: /boot/efi; sdx2, ext4, mount point â/â
attemp made on acer travelmate p236 in legacy mode, obviously no secure boot: 8gb ram, i5 5th generation processor (6-7 years old, but not so bad actually), ethernet super fast connection , ping 8.8.8.8 gives normal reply and I can surf the internet with firefox without problem; usb live of endeavourOs runs smooth and fast (thatâs why I would like to install it!)
I have read the wiki. I know that calamares has a bug. I could follow the installation through the following command
tail -f /home/liveuser/endeavour-install.log
Every attempt to install the system failed. The last one took more than 12 hours (!) and it was not finished. For the last hour I could only see images as event in the log. I was not registered yet so I did not save the log.
The same procedure in the case of manjaro took about half an hour and was successfully completed. I can run the whole Manjaro system from a pendrive, but it is a xfce and I would like to give EndevourOs with mate desktop again a try.
Could you please give me further advice?
Thank you very much for your attention and care
Iâm a bit lost. If itâd succeeded on Manjaro, it shouldâve been successful in enos too. And on top of that, Iâll need some exact errors. I mean the install is failing, what calamares is showing? Whatâs its exact behaviour? Is the disk getting mounted? Is the disk getting populated? The only way to be more helpful, is to advice you to go through with the install again, and record these specific behaviours.
Hi,
the iso is the 2019.12.22-x86_64. I forgot to tell that I could not verify it yet since I have on windows only winmd5free and md5 & Sha utility. From both I get the value: 824c4dcc70065cf74dfb7b71cb500906. Could you please tell me if it correct?
Thanks in advance
Calamares shows 53% for hours and it remains stuck with no further error advice. I will try again, this time I will try to do the whole process starting from manjaro, including the download of the iso, which I have done always from win10. Any suggestions for verifying the iso from linux? Is it ok preparing the usb via gparted or should I low format it and then create new partition table?
Sorry, maybe I was not clear enough. I have a ethernet superfast connection. I use a usb live created with etcher (and rufus) to install the system on a usb target drive. No installation on hdd or sdd.
Yes. I am trying now the whole process via manjaro installed on a 64Gb usb. Probably there is a problem with the iso (or the download). This is what I get from the terminal

I cannot think that the iso is per se corrupted. Maybe there was a problem with the download or I did something wrong. I would like to try again on Win10. I get via mdr win utilities the value 824c4dcc70065cf74dfb7b71cb500906
Is there a way that I can verify this md5 value. I donât see it on Eos internet site
Thanks a lot. I come from the debian family and I am new the wordl of arch. Any help would be much appreciated

Hi,
thanks. I am trying to install now the iso downloaded from Github. This is verified, the other ones (downloaded via Alpix since I am in Europe) got a an error. Maybe this was the problem. I downloaded all my isos from Alpix. I will try and let you know. By the way, any tools on arch for collecting data about hardware? otherwise I should try with cpu-z via win10. Last release of Manjaro xfce works, anyway
