Sometimes yaourt fail to install obmenu-generator for openbox config because it don't find the dependancy linux-desktop-files. Obviously, the script stop. This is not depend of the script, simply launch again the script and pick the number 9 to resume the installation. The installation should restart to the last package fail installation and continue as usual.

install fails when trying to format a xfs partition:

because normally, formatting an already existing partition into xfs requires -f (force flag), formatting into such in obarun-install will kick you out when doing so.
its probably not about the -f then, but i really ddnt look closely. i only notice this when formatting partitions as xfs

edit: just confirmed, ${FS_FLAGS[$fs]} does not includes any flag in part_format()
RE: color issue similar to pacopts:
obarun-install: tracing: Clone repository from 33[0;32m[https://framagit.org/Obarun/obarun-install-themes.git]33[0m
Cloning into 'obarun-install-themes'...
bad line : oblog -t "Clone repository from ${green}[$_address]${reset}", in pac.sh

there is also this which is the first error that breaks the text box in the installer: 
obarun-install: tracing: Check update for obarun-install                                                                                                                                                                                     
obarun-install: tracing: Clone repository from 33[0;32m[https://framagit.org/Obarun/obarun-install.git]33[0m
Cloning into 'obarun-install'...
remote: Enumerating objects: 37, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (37/37), done.

but i cant find that specific line. should be that green color as well.
eric wrotethanks for the reports.
about obarun-libs: https://framagit.org/Obarun/obarun-libs/-/commit/3655186c19f9bfc1d09f0f0083b01df8862a0e8a
the last issue, you can find the text here: https://framagit.org/Obarun/obarun-install/-/blob/master/install/dg_menu.sh# L10
The color expected is yellow.
im actually refering to the broken text-box (shows letters instead of box) in the last screenshot, which is probably caused by the color error in the SS above it (hence this line, "Clone repository from" which i cannot find)
it's a glibc issue. The default mirror is completely broken and install an old version of glibc which cause the issue.
Bug with setting root password i should have reported about it here first.
For me not able to set root password during sudo obarun-install, but i changed mirrorlist to Bulgary and marked every worldwide mirror with # , and then before sudo obarun-install i did pacman -Sy pam and last set sudo obarun-install, everything installed fine

I had a small issue that would might confuse someone not so used to more technical distributions but was easy enough to circumvent. In regards to the automatic partitioning thingy on my NVME SSD. It got confused and was looking for "/dev/nvme0n11" instead of "/dev/nvme0n1p1" as the formula for NVME drives is nvme0n1p*

Sorry, I should have saved the exact error, I don't know if that is enough information to be helpful at all. It was reproducible every time, but now that my system works I don't really want to reproduce it lol.

Without any logs of the trouble it will be difficult to know what to do :/

RE: regarding issue about xfs unable to source appropriate flags FS_FLAGS[] causing formatting with xfs to fail due to missing -f option, not entirely sure why this script fails to source from the said array, but since there is only one section using this (part_format()), why not just make the "mkfs.$fs" and its flags from FS_FLAGS[] as a case statement? its not taht xfs was the only one having issue, no flags was getting passed thourh when accessing this array regardless of FSTYLE, it just so happens that xfs needs that -f option else formatting on an already existing partition will fail.

https://framagit.org/Obarun/obarun-install/-/blob/master/install/partition.sh# L213

${FS_FLAGS[$fs]} always returns blank.
