After long discussions and help from the forum I decided to make a fresh install with BTRFS (online, KDE Plasma)
Booted from the USB flash disk I installed EOS from less than a month ago, clicking on “Start the Installer” gives me another window where I select “online”
I could only notice something like a window that pops up and disappears in a millisecond.
I have connected my my WiFi, (I am already on the live session now)
I thought OK try install the “welcome” app again:
[liveuser@eos-2022.06.23 ~]$ sudo pacman -S welcome

Seems like a problem with EOS servers, this is why live install is not working?
In the welcome screen I thought to select “Update Mirrors” and selected the check boxes of “World” and some countries…
Still, no install is showing anything or starting any installation. Even “Offline”
I just thought to double check with you instead of downloading the ISO and setting up the flash disk again!
You should update first before installing software.
You can do both at the same time with:
pacman -Syu welcome
When you get 404 errors during an update list that it usually means that the version of the package in the database is no longer available in the repos. This usually means that your database is out of date.
Still working… I hope it will work with “welcome”
But I do not understand how is it possible to install from this same flash disk 3 weaks ago… and now not!
Currently checking this thread… similar case!
UPDATE:
It seems to me it is unable to reach servers??!
downloading required keys...

Just wondering, if I rebooted my already installed system, launch welcome and install from there (or calamares)
I am just worried there is a problem with the servers somehow and I end up with no working EOS.
What you think?
Sorry, I didn’t notice that you were trying to do an install.
First, reboot to get a clean starting point.
Then try the installer again.
You can’t run calamares like that.
I don’t see anything here that looks like a server issue.
Part of the install process is to get the latest keyrings and get everything setup. You haven’t gotten that far in the install so it isn’t. The real issue is why calamares isn’t running.
Just fired up the live ISO. There are are three settings.conf files in /etc/calamares: one for online, one for offline and one for community editions. Thanks again for your explanation!
OK! Done. And we are one step forward!
The installer starts, but with the setup language already selected (my location), but “next” and “previous/back” buttons not working! Only the cancel button.
What if I boot to the already installed EOS and run “welcome” → Install → online from there?
After the installer starts, I see a message saying (in brief)
Endeavour can not be installed
Clamares was unable to load all of the configured modules
-Module that couldn’t be loaded

This is so strange!
Can someone after downloading the ISO have this situation? It is the same flas disk I installed from 3 weeks ago! What if I downloaded the ISO and made the USB flash again?
Thanks a lot @manuel
The question now is:
This is the usb I just installed from about 3 weeks ago. Would downloading and making a new USB will work? What is the logic of this one not working and the new ISO will work?!
