Problem with Installing/Updating Endeavour OS

[SinCanDory]

So finally I moved to Endeavour OS, installed it but I am having issues with updating it.

I'm trying to follow this guide: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=StHVU-Zvacs

My "Welcome" box says "no internet connection" but I clearly have, as I can use internet. I did the first step but when I try to update system it says "connection failed" and then asks for password but doesn't let me input something. Same as terminal. Doesn't let me write anything. I can only put my password when something needs access or something. Anyone can help? I couldn't find proper help on İnternet

# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
UUID=1406-7F02 /efi vfat defaults,noatime 0 2
UUID=a6d623d3-d6ad-49de-bd48-c7aa1f547d20 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0

The drive is not listed, so it will not mount on boot.

Try using gnome-disk-utility, I know this is works and is relatively easy to use.

sudo pacman -Sy gnome-disk-utility

Then start the gnome-disks program. (It can take a few seconds before it appears in the application list after installing)

Select your drive > Select the partition > Click the cogwheel icon > "Edit mount options" > Uncheck "User Session Defaults" > Change "Mount point" to something like "/mnt/hdd" > Ok

Now it should be listed in the fstab file.

I can't thank you enough for all your help!

It appears to be that program was the one I was using. Thought it was different as it shows as "Disks". Seems like I just had to uncheck "User Session Default" and change the Mount Point. Now it works pretty good.

Thanks a lot again :)

Omega , i wrote Unlikely . Linux is still garbage . Waste of time . Only servers use it to save money . If you profited but 100 other people lose from using Linux , no point in Linux .

Not that you would know considering you only tried a beginner friendly distro for probably an hour and got mad that you were getting poor performance with a weak laptop. It performs better than Windows in some instances but it's not some miracle cure, it doesn't massively increase gaming performance.

I daily drive Pop!_OS and it's been working better for me than Windows ever has, and this thread has me trying EndeavourOS.

But with Linux you can change the GUI to be however you want.

Linux development is split between a bunch of companies . It cannot achieve stable UI to be learnt by the users . Therefore users will waste time , consider it money , to learn every time . This is inefficiency . Waste of time and money . Feel free to make your own choice .

Cheers , from a past C++ developer

edit
i used Linux 20+ years ago , yes now it s more capable but it s still far from being polished , sorry .

The beauty of Linux is that it's open source, if you don't like how something is you can change it.

The beauty of Linux is the penguin LOL . I want easy life , free time , friendly UI . The price 10-100 euro and called Windows , why not ?

Windows is free to use too, you don't need a valid license to use Windows 10, Microsoft supplies the download, you just have to supply a suitable USB flash drive and turn it into a bootable media.

Nonetheless, not everyone has the technical skill to put up with Linux and that's fine :) wouldn't advise talking all this smack about it considering despite your supposed experience, you can't help but stick only with a dumbed down closed-source OS that's vulnerable to viruses, ripe with its own issues and sometimes downright unstable, and being turned into a consumer machine by its creator.

And you leave Tux alone, he's a good boy.

okay I have a new question. Everything by now went really good but I am having an issue with Wine/Lutris.

I tried to play NFS Heat from both Lutris and Steam. On Lutris, when I open it from EA App, it just keeps getting minimised. As for Steam, it starts but as soon as it says "connecting to EA Servers" i get an error:

Wine C++ Runtime Library
Program: (game location)\Need for SpeedHeat.exe
File: ../src-wine/dlls/winevulkan/loader_thunks.c
Line: 2774

Expression "!status && "vkCreateGraphicsPipelines""

I can't seem to solve this issue. Couldn't find solution anywhere.

Also Lutris keeps saying something like "Wine version does not support esync & fsync". I tried to update it but it says I have the latest version of Wine. Anything I'm missing?

The thing with these EA App is that it keeps breaking whenever they update it. And even when it works it is iffy.

Esync and Fsync are optional and not available in normal WINE, you do not need them. Having them may improve multi threading performance.

You can try using a different version of Proton. I tend to run Proton Experimental - Bleeding Edge, anmd when it breaks I fall back on the latest stable Proton release which is currently 8.0.

You can switch to Bleeding Edge by opting in to the beta through Proton's game settings.

Oh super, I'll give it a try all the proton versions when I'm back from work I. This case.

Honestly EA App part did not surprise me, it was broken even in Windows
