Question: output after updating with new pacman.conf

swh · May 22, 2023, 3:21pm

after the successful move of the git package and a new pacman.conf i have now the following output and unfortunately i don’t know what to do with it. the first update was then successful with just about 4gb.

pacman.conf

# NOTE: You must run `pacman-key --init` before first using pacman; the local

# REPOSITORIES
#   - can be defined here or included from another file

#   - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
#   - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
#     have identical names, regardless of version number
#   - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
#   - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
#       [repo-name]
#       Server = ServerName
#       Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.

# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

Uncomment multilib

Remove these #'s

#[multilib]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

swh · May 22, 2023, 3:25pm

@dalto you are fast as a shark and always right. Many thanks !

mlytle0 · May 22, 2023, 9:45pm

I have the same problem, what is the full path to the config file I need to edit?

dalto · May 22, 2023, 9:48pm

/etc/pacman.conf

mlytle0 · May 22, 2023, 9:54pm

I commented those out, but I still get all these really verbose comments about files not in the AUR. Is that just the new way it works?

dalto · May 22, 2023, 9:55pm

To be clear, you need to ensure multilib is not commented out.

mlytle0 · May 22, 2023, 9:58pm

I said that wrong, I meant to say that I uncommented (removed poundsigns) as you’ve shown above, and the results are the same.

Still getting this:

:: packages not in the AUR: arc-gtk-theme-eos endeavouros-keyring endeavouros-mirrorlist
endeavouros-skel-default endeavouros-skel-xfce4 endeavouros-theming
endeavouros-xfce4-terminal-colors eos-apps-info eos-bash-shared eos-hooks
eos-lightdm-slick-theme eos-log-tool eos-packagelist eos-qogir-icons eos-quickstart
eos-rankmirrors eos-translations eos-update-notifier flintqs welcome
:: marked out of date: paru
there is nothing to do

Config file:

If you want to run 32 bit applications on your x86_64 system,

enable the multilib repositories as required here.

#[multilib-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

An example of a custom package repository. See the pacman manpage for

tips on creating your own repositories.

#[custom]
#SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
#Server = file:///home/custompkgs

dalto · May 22, 2023, 10:13pm

It looks like you removed the endeavouros repo.

dalto · May 22, 2023, 10:14pm

The repo section should look like this:

# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

[endeavouros]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/endeavouros-mirrorlist

#[core-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[core]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[extra-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# If you want to run 32 bit applications on your x86_64 system,
# enable the multilib repositories as required here.

#[multilib-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist



# An example of a custom package repository.  See the pacman manpage for
# tips on creating your own repositories.
#[custom]
#SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
#Server = file:///home/custompkgs

mlytle0 · May 22, 2023, 10:20pm

That worked. I copy & pasted:
[endeavouros]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/endeavouros-mirrorlist
Into my config file, it was missing for some reason…

Hi,

i have one more question: in case a new pacman.conf arrives (renamed to pacnew), you have to merge the two files in order to keep the personal preferences of the older file and the new lines of the pacnew file.

I imagine that the general logic is to include the new lines of the new file in the old one to have in the end the same file, as the one of a freshly installed EOS (except for the previous personal modifications)

That said, I notice that in the new file some lines disappear, for example :

**ILoveCandy**
#NoProgressBar
**CheckSpace**
**VerbosePkgLists**
**DisableDownloadTimeout**
**ParallelDownloads = 5**

I personally kept them, not knowing if they are still useful or have been abandoned by OES.
Hence my more general question:

is this new version the one straight out of arch, or the one customized for Eos (with I love Candy ) and other interesting / fun options ?
