Reboot and then run calamares in cli mode

WeyLyn1, looking the output of the log of calamares, I saw that the system go in error because is trying to install pulseaudio 11.1 while, in the standard Artix repos, is available the version 10.1. This is the why of the error.

Which environment are you trying to install?

For KDE/Plasma I posted the solution to install it, avoiding this error. I think that the same path, installing different packages, can be used also for other GUI.

I never try till now, but I suppose that, modifying the /etc/pacman.conf and activating the testing repositories, before to launch calamares  (sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf) this problem shall be solved. If you'll try this direction, the testing repos MUST be positioned BEFORE the standard repos.

Below the list of the repos in my pacman.conf, up to date to the last upgrade. NOTE: you can or cannot decide to use the 32 bit repos.
 

You have to enable the server too

Code: [Select]

Server = http://mirror1.artixlinux.org/repos/$repo/os/$arch

in
/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Make sure you place this above all other mirrors

Okay, i did it and even commented the SourceForge repo out, but still the same 'Database file ... does not exist' error. Just to make sure, i cp-ed mirrorlist to mirrorlist~ then echo-ed the Server = http://mirror1.artixlinux.org/repos/$repo/os/$arch into it, but still the same 'Database ... does not exist' error.

If you echo-ed, it's quite possible that those dollars ($) weren't written. Can you post the contents of your /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist?

From the looks of it, you just need to delete "multilub-testing" repo from your /etc/pacman.conf (As there is no such thing as "multilub-testing" and "multilib-testing" ), re-run sudo pacman -Syy and you're good to go!
