What's new In EndeavourOS Titan release

Announcements and news
61

It depends on the GPU in question. As an example, for an intel GPU we used to install basically nothing. The drivers were in the kernel if you wanted anything else you needed to install it yourself.

Now we install mesa, vulkan-intel, intel-media-driver, gst-plugin-va and, depending on the specific GPU sometimes libva-intel-driver.

mesa probably would have been pulled in as dependency anyway for most installs but now we add it explicitly.

On the other hand, for nvidia the results are mostly the same since it has most of that stuff embedded in nvidia-utils and we were already doing driver detection for nvidia.

62

Thanks for the clarification. Great wallpaper btw!

63

Which drivers are automatically installed for AMD GPUs now by default?

64 
        Profile.amd_amdgpu: 
            packages: mesa, vulkan-radeon, gst-plugin-va

packages32: lib32-mesa, lib32-vulkan-radeon

as @dalto mentioned 32bit stuff is not instzalled by default from the ISO // initial install but the tool has the option.

65

The installer doesn’t install the 32 bit packages.

66

Just a heads-up that the sha512sum check outputs “no properly formatted checksum lines found” - although the ISO comes out at as okay. I’m assuming that’s specific to the sha512 file formatting.

67

were?

i accidently switched the shasum file extension from *.sha512sum to *.sha512 so you need to use: sha512sum -c EndeavourOS_Titan-2026.03.06.iso.sha512

What is gst-plugin-va for? Actually, it isn’t installed. Should I install it?

69

can be good special on Notebooks, as it is uses the VA API (Video Acceleration API) to offload computationally intensive tasks directly to the GPU.. somehow a bridge between GStreamer and the Graphics driver.

70

A reminder that I MUST SEED. o7

71

I have a AMD/iGPU notebook, does that mean, I need to install that for battery or CPU performance?

72

You don’t need to install it. It is optional and only used in certain circumstances.

73

Actually, I’m not using a notebook. But as long as there are no negative impacts, it could be good. So I just installed that package. :wink:

74

Yes, it will be fine either way.

75

Yep nice name. But “Fancy Pants” has my vote. :rofl:

76

+1 :rofl:

When I boot the installer to install it on my wife’s old HP Envy 4 laptop, I get an “out of memory” kernel panic error when selecting GRUB2 mode to enter the live session. Initially, I thought the downloaded ISO might be corrupted, but after verifying it with sha512sum, the checksum matched.

It turns out that I need to use Normal mode to enter the live session successfully. After that, the installation proceeds without any issues, and I’m even able to select the GRUB2 bootloader for my wife’s laptop.

I’m just wondering if it’s expected to encounter an “out of memory” kernel panic on older machines in this situation, since I’m able to load the live session using GRUB2 mode on my MiniPC without any problems.

I’m using Ventoy to create the ISO installer.

Edit:
I’m able to reproduce the same error using the latest Manjaro ISO. It might be something related to Ventoy.

78

Issues like that are almost always on the Ventoy side and need to be fixed there.

79

Thanks guys & I apologize in advance for this question. I’m up-to-date on all updates (ran eos-update 15 min ago & rebooted), but I don’t have this latest tool. How can I access this?

You need to install it.

sudo pacman -S eos-hwtool
