Known issues

Last update: 2024-Jun-09.

Here we will list known issues of the latest EndeavourOS ISO, drivers and apps.

ISO

Description of the issue	Possible remedy
Installer says there is no internet connection, but it does exist.	Using VPN may help, depending on your location. Please report issues at the Endeavouros forum.

Apps

Description of the issue	Possible remedy	Status	Latest remarks
Code generated by grub-tools	If you are using the dash shell instead of bash, the code generated by grub-tools may not work as it includes features supported by bash only. It will work by changing your shell from dash to bash.	Fixed.	Package grub-tools has been removed from the EndeavourOS repository.
An app behaves unexpectedly	Make sure your system is properly updated (use terminal command pacman -Syu or yay). Make sure you have carefully checked and manually merged related app configuration updates. Use terminal command eos-pacdiff for this. NOTE: never modify files like - /etc/passwd - /etc/group - /etc/shadow and similar files with command eos-pacdiff, otherwise you may not be able to log in to your system. Check if any AUR package overrides files of the official packages.

Hardware, drivers and related settings

Description of the issue	Possible remedy
Wired (ethernet) connection does not work properly	If you have a Realtek 8168 ethernet card, either uninstall the r8168 package, or reinstall it. Then reboot. Note at 2024-Jun: package r8168 has been moved to the AUR.
Boot failure with new Nvidia cards (30xx and 40xx)	As a temporary workaround, add kernel parameter ibt=off. 2024-Jan: this should no more be needed.
On nvidia system, after system update the next boot stops at a blank screen	Typically, on a kernel update the corresponding nvidia driver package should be updated as well. Sometimes that doesn't happen, which can lead to this problem. Remedy1: use the dkms version of the Nvidia driver (like nvidia-dkms). This is recommended. Remedy2: use apps eos-update for updating the system, because they can detect such a problem and let you decide what to do. Plain pacman or yay do not detect this.
