Its still not working... Not sure why, seems I can't install Artix on this laptop... exact same errors.


Toshiba laptops sometimes have a lock down of the file system and can be funky.  Years ago, they were the subject of the windows refund movement due to this.  I don't know if it is still the case. (https://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1045348/toshiba-court-windows-refund-ginger ).  I never use Toshibas because of this and this error with the FS sounds familiar from way back.

Sure! Let's blame computer manufacturers for complete failure of this project thus far. Devs have no answers as they don't have a clue of what they are doing. Too bad that this project ended up in wrong hands.

Why are you here then?
Why don' t you tell us where there is a better chance to use Arch without systemd.
Do you know exactly how and why ms together with a few other hw/sw industrialists developed uefi to lock low budget OS out of the access of the average user?

Who said that because this forum exists developers will come here and solve peoples' problems?  If you read such thing in your customer contract let me know.  It sounds very interesting.

I can only verify that I have gotten my money's worth of customer support and then some.

I never use UEFI, have dual bios systam. And I never will if I have a choice. I really regret having to be rude, but this project is hopeless at the moment. Tried installing at least 50 times, succeeded only once. And  there is no help here. Only denial that there is anything wrong.

1st you seem to have constipation giving any usable information how do you expect any help?
1st check if their is a pacman.conf pac new if their is compare them. also check the artix mirror lisr list remove any sourceforge entries completely
Did you refresh the keyring.
sudo pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring
sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux
sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys
If then you still have a problem open /etc/pacman.conf       SigLevel    = Required DatabaseOptional  look for this line edit it to look like this.
#SigLevel    = Required DatabaseOptional  edit it like this save try again don't forget to alter it back after you have done then ask the correct question some thing like "corrupt sig trying to update with pacman"
Or admit you do not have a clue what the F you are doing. and shout like a 5yr old does not work on adult forum frustration we take in our stride.
Seeing its the same installer by the same dev as Manjaro get it.

After numerous unsuccessful attempts to install I gave up and tried instead to convert my Manjaro OpenRc partition to Artix .
Everything seemed to work except I was unable to install Artix keyring due to Criss Crommer's signature error.
What is the fix for that?


when did you become kennyw.  Why don't you start your own thread if your having trouble instead of interjecting into this one.

No he is not.  Your just trolling and piling on.  You are nothing more than a troll.  You entered into this thread and then disrupted it with your total bullshit.  No one owes you shit.  If you don't like artix, then use something else.  But don't enter someone elses attempt to get some community help and disrupt and hijack the thread.  Do something more useful like poke your eyes out with chop sticks.    I hate when pricks like you enter forums under anonymous psunamons and then piss all over everyone.

This was your penultimate such post. Next one will be your last. No need to explain why.
Why don't you treat the other idiot the same, the one above who first used "oh fuck off.  Nobody owes you shit. "

anyway fuck you too!

Really dude? It looks like to me you could fix it by adding the signature manually with gpg or maybe refresh/repopulate the keys. Possibly a little annoying but hardly anything to throw a tantrum on the forum about. Personally, I'm quite grateful that some devs have stepped up to provide Arch without systemd. It's unfortunately not as simple as just building a few packages yourself. systemd has infected a huge amount of software and you pretty much need a team of people to follow upstream to make sure nothing new breaks. Artix is obviously more of a "hobbyist" distro which means you might get some breakage and bugs from time to time. It's just the nature of the beast.

Because that was his first time, you're a repeat offender.

We don't want or need such users, please move elsewhere.

@7of9 @kenny_w Please enable world-testing in your /etc/pacman.conf before doing installations again..

Alrighty, I've enabled world-testing & ran sudo pacman -Syyu , I am now going to try running Calamares....
Aaand I'm getting the same error :( 
Edit: I'm getting an identical error while trying to install it in non-UEFI mode. identical error below every time I attempt to install with BTRFS, similar error for EXT4 too.

Boost.Python error in job "mount".

Well I managed to install Artix onto my non-UEFI Toshiba L745D, but I can't make it install on the UEFI L850D..
Although I still believe I should be able to get Artix working, but perhaps for now I'll go with Debian x64, or maybe give Fedora 27 a shot when it comes out.

Also, where did the drama come from? :(

7of9 these guys have helped me big time in getting Artix Linux to run on multiple computers & continue to help me with all my problems, just have patience... I don't think they're blaming it on the hardware alone, but I think its definitely relevant for mrbrklyn to bring up... I am going to attempt another installation of Artix in BIOS mode I suppose, but I did get Artix to work on my desktop which is UEFI, so...
Edit: I tried to install it in BIOS mode but it gave me the exact same error as posted above, that's not good... I have tried enabling world-testing & doing a sudo pacman -Syyu & then also trying to repopulate the key things as Mandog suggested, but still I am getting an identical error.

Artix Linux team are nice people, I'm not going to tell you what to do or anything, but you are probably better off apologising & being polite, I don't think anyone here is saying "oh well its your hardware & we're not going to help you".. Please, lets keep this thread civil, I know its really frustrating trying to install Artix Linux just for it to fail & then your harddrive is wiped & you have to re-install your last OS, I know it sucks, but we have to try to be civil if we're going to work out all of these kinks in the system.

Artix is a new project still, of course there are going to be lots of kinks that need to be worked out! Rome wasn't built in a day, neither was any Linux distribution.
I figure if you're going to use a new OS you should expect bugs here and there, but over-all Artix Linux is awesome once you get past the installer!!
