[image] Openbox install failed Issues & Assistance Hey, I rather use something else anyway, yet I wanted to raise attention to the fact that the openbox install fails. Notably, also Endeavour OS cannot install with its openbox script. Best, J

No you are not! The app looks different there than in the installed system: [Screenshot From 2025-04-07 21-35-44] Nevermind, launch a terminal and run: sudo cachyos-rate-mirrors When it is done, then start the installer.

running the command you sent didnt help, and i still get the same issue :confused: thanks for helping tho!

Sorry to hear! I don’t know what else to do. Is it still the same mirror causing issues?

UPDATE: it pulled throught that 1 moment, i chose to NOT install any graphical interface so that might be the issue. I’ts now past that one point and i believe it’s going to work! Onky thing left is to install a GUI, I hope Openbox works. P.S. - IT FINALLY INSTALLED

The package manager could not make changes to the installed system
