Problems with Yad

General system
1

Hello all,

I have been having problems updating EOS for quite some time. Yad does not allow updating the system nor the mirror servers. There is always the error message:

Error: configuration ‘eos-run-cmd-with-su’ for EOS_ROOTER in file /etc/eos-script-lib-yad.conf is not supported!

I talked about this with Ricklinux (moderator), who was - as usual - very knowledgeable and helpful. We got a good bit further. But in the end, the problem remained: I can’t update my list of mirrors under Yad, nor can I update the system. Always the same error message.

Maybe someone knows some advice? Anyway, thanks in advance!

For the time being - to get an updated system . . . why not just run reflector in terminal, get mirrors, get updated, and then look further into it? It’s better than just kicking the update can down the road forever.

cat /etc/eos-script-lib-yad.conf | eos-sendlog
i remember that there was a change in the config long ago? @manuel

The system is actually updated it’s just the yad error.

Edit: I had to reload the archkeyring and get it updated along with mirrors.

this is saying that eos-run-cmd-with-su is not supported by one of the Eos apps not yad itself…

Looks like configuration files are not properly updated.

Update your system with

sudo pacman -Syu

and then run

eos-pacdiff
# or
DIFFPROG=meld su -c pacdiff

These tools help you manually update the configuration files, especially
/etc/eos-script-lib-yad.conf.

(O)verwrite?

13

(O)verwrite with pacnew

so you will get latest eos list…

14

Ist eine etwas ältere installation von vor einem Jahr ?
Is it an older installation from a year ago?

Ja, unmittelbar nach dem “Aus” von Antergos.

17

Don’t overwrite all files !!!
Files not to overwrite, at least: shadow, passwd, group.
This time overwrite only EOS config files.

18

to late already …

19

I hope the system still works…

20

hopefully not rebooted?
pwconv could rescue the file.
