-Known Issues
-============
-
-| Some issues are out of the `archinstall`_ projects scope, and the ones we know of are listed below.
-
-.. _waiting for time sync:
-
-Waiting for time sync `#2144`_
-------------------------------
-
-| The usual root cause of this is the network topology.
-| More specifically `timedatectl show`_ cannot perform a proper time sync against the default servers.
-
-| A *"fix"* for this is mentioned in the issue above.
-| That is to configure ``/etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf`` and restart ``systemd-timesyncd.service``.
-
-.. note::
-
- A proposal to override the time sync check has been put up for discussion in `#2144`_.
-
-Missing Nvidia Proprietary Driver `#2002`_
-------------------------------------------
-
-| In some instances, the nvidia driver might not have all the nessecary packages installed.
-| This is due to the kernel selection and/or hardware setups requiring additional packages to work properly.
-
-A common workaround is to install the package `linux-headers`_ and `nvidia-dkms`_
-
-ARM, 32bit and other CPU types error out `#1686`_, `#2185`_
------------------------------------------------------------
-
-| This is a bit of a catch-all known issue.
-| Officially `x86_64`_ is only supported by Arch Linux.
-| Hence little effort have been put into supporting other platforms.
-
-| In theory, other architectures should work but small quirks might arise.
-
-| PR's are welcome but please be respectful of the delays in merging.
-| Other fixes, issues or features will be prioritized for the above reasons.
-
-Keyring is out of date `#2213`_
--------------------------------
-
-| Missing key-issues tend to be that the `archlinux-keyring`_ package is out of date, usually as a result of an outdated ISO.
-| There is an attempt from upstream to fix this issue, and it's the `archlinux-keyring-wkd-sync.service`_
-
-| The service starts almost immediately during boot, and if network is not configured in time — the service will fail.
-| Subsequently the ``archinstall`` run might operate on a old keyring despite there being an update service for this.
-
-| There is really no way to reliably over time work around this issue in ``archinstall``.
-| Instead, efforts to the upstream service should be considered the way forward. And/or keys not expiring betwene a sane ammount of ISO's.
-
-.. note::
-
- The issue can happen on new ISO's too even as little as a few days after release, as some keys might expire right after the keyring is *"burnt in"* to the ISO.
-
-.. note::
-
- Another common issue relating to the network not being configured, is that time might not be set correctly - resulting in the keyring not being able to update. See :ref:`waiting for time sync`.
-
-AUR packages
-------------
-
-| This is also a catch-all issue.
-| `AUR is unsupported <https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository#Updating_packages>`_, and until that changes we cannot use AUR packages to solve feature requests in ``archinstall``.
-
-| This means that feature requests like supporting filesystems such as `ZFS`_ can not be added, and issues cannot be solved by using AUR packages either.
-
-.. note::
-
- But in spirit of giving the community options, ``archinstall`` supports :ref:`archinstall.Plugins`, which means you can run ``archinstall --plugin <url>`` and source an AUR plugin.
-
- `torxed/archinstall-aur <https://github.com/torxed/archinstall-aur>`_ is a reference implementation for plugins:
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- # archinstall --plugin https://archlinux.life/aur-plugin
-
- `phisch/archinstall-aur <https://github.com/phisch/archinstall-aur>`_ is another alternative:
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- # archinstall --plugin https://raw.githubusercontent.com/phisch/archinstall-aur/master/archinstall-aur.py
-
- .. warning::
-
- This will allow for unsupported usage of AUR during installation.
