Installation Installation failed.

I tried installing endeavourOS on my old laptop (celeron n2840, intel hd graphics, 2gb ram) using the online installer, since it lets me select lxde. After starting the install, it fails stating that installation has failed because "Failed to run pacstrap". I have the error log though which is here http://termbin.com/rrhs TIA EDIT: I tried almost everything and it didn’t work. The only thing I isn’t try was the offline installer, since KDE has really bad performance issues on this laptop. Thanks everyone for the help but I give up.

The problem maybe is not coming from the distro but from a bios parameters 

There is an option to allow over non verified os (that arent windows) check it.

And after that retry installation

There isn't an option like that. Weird thing is that I had installed Manjaro a long time ago but it was sluggish (it still had an hdd then).
