BlendOS Icons not Created on Install
I did a clean install of BlendOS in VMware Workstation. When the install was finished and I rebooted, the initial setup walked me through creating a user and configuring the system. However when that was finished, there wwere no BlendOS icons made in the Gnome menu. I can run blend-settings from the terminal, but I can't figure out how to make the icons that are missing.
How to add user to group in container?
So currently I am trying to unlock my memory in a container, it says I have to be added to the audio group, i have attempted this repeatedly, and restarted/logged out of my computer entirely as that seems to be the only way to update containers, the problem is the container (nor apps involved) seem to launch with the group active, leading to my error persisting, so I'm not sure what to do here to actually get it to acknowledge the user was added to the group

Network connection issue
Hello world!
Im now trying to install and set up blendOS v4. My problem is like that: on installation, I can actually find and connect my home WiFi network, but the WiFi icon in the bar shows the question sign on it. I can browse some sites and ping blendos.co works well, however, pkg-repo.blendos.co, aur.archlinux... are unable to be reached due to infinite loading. JadeGUI says Im not connected to the net too.
Then I had to try to install blend not at home, using my phone's WiFi AP and everything went well. I switched to plasma track, reached home and found that in KDE my connection to home WiFi is labeled 'Limited connection' and pkg-repo as well as aur are unreachable. So, I am a bit confused...
In addition, connection on Windows 11 on this Laptop works flawlessly.
My adapter is Realtek 8822CE....

Download sudo-akshara-update takes ages
Hey,
I am processing an update but my internet speed is for some reason very low so that the update at that level would take days.
Can I interrupt the sudo-akshara-update process somewhat safely to first have a look at my internet speed problems or would that cause my system to fail? At this point the update is 'retreiving packages' so downloading them....
Suggestion: Run reflector before install
The default mirrors (at least for me) are painfully slow. I've been getting around this by just manually running reflector before opening the installer.
Running reflector on the latest 25 mirrors should just be a default Behavior before running installation to make sure it's running at a decent speed...

Apparmor support?
Been attempting to enable apparmor, I've gone through all the usual configuration but the AA status is still giving me "apparmor filesystem is not mounted"
I made sure that the package is installed, that the kernel supports it, and that the kernel boot line for enabling the LSM is there this should be working on a normal Arch installation but I assume something about the immutable system is stopping me in this case I just can't figure out what it is...

Do I need to create a boot partition for blendOS?
Hello, I was recently tryingto install blendOS, I wanted to ask if I need to create a Boot partition (512MB / FAT32) on a UEFI (GPT) system because I already have Windows installed as well as a EFI partition.Some people with UEFI have created it and some haven't, since I don't have fast internet or a lot of time, as blendOS downloads during installation.
Solution:
Well for dual booting, yeah you'll need to set up the partitions manually, with an EFI partition
Git package from aur build with every update
I've added openscad-git to my aur-packages. I realized that now, Everytime I run
sudo akshara update the git repo is pulled and built from scratch which takes quite some time. Is this by design? Couldn't we somehow check the revision I'd against the one from the last install...?Solution:
each time you update you're making a whole new system
