I don’t know what exactly happened, but everything was working fine days ago before I left home. Today when I got back after a couple of days, I turned on the PC, and ran “sudo pacman -Syyu” Everything worked fine, update all the packages that it told me to update, and prompted me to reboot.
After the the reboot, I decided to run “yay -Syyu” as I always do after running pacman, I got prompted with this yay -Syyu :: Synchronizing package databases… error: restricting filesystem access failed because Landlock is not supported by the kernel! error: switching to sandbox user ‘alpm’ failed! error: failed to synchronize all databases (failed to retrieve some files)
I then tried pacman to see if maybe it was something with yay, but again, same error. I have been trying to search on how to fix it but I can’t find much, only way is to disable sandbox(which i never had to do before). Don’t know how that affects security, but if it does I would like to fix it, but I’m not educated enough on this matter to find a fix. Please help D:
Yeah I don’t know either. As far as I am aware, it does support landlock, and I have it on(if I did it right, not sure), but yeah I guess ill just disable sandbox for now. Is there any security issues with disabling the sandbox??
Yeah on my search i saw that packseek had the same issue. Im going to assume its possibly a bug or something that got introduced on some of the other packages, because I updated my system on dec a couple of times(last time being Dec-11th before I left home) and it was all working fine(linux 6.17.9 was published on Nov-30th) so i don’t think its the kernel itself causing the issue.
