Fehler: Ziel nicht gefunden: Chromium

I've read https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Repositories#Stable
and I edit /etc/pacman.conf

but nothing changed.
how do I resolve this?

and why add this, if its not good to do. is there an other, better soloution to get chromium run?

I got it! Chromium get installed,
but I still not got, why its enabled by default, what changed, and why its not good to do, and what are the alternatives?

and its not working

Code: [Select]
dhcppc0:[algori]:~$ chromium

Are you running chromium locally, from Xorg? What is the output of echo $DISPLAY?

Edit: Also echo $XAUTHORITY, and:
Code: [Select]
$ xauth info
$ xauth list

archlinux-mirrorlist is installed ?

sudo pacman -S Chromium ? :o  :o  :o

pacman -S chromium is right.

your system is broken, due wrong localhost name, so you need fix it first

The package names are usually in lowercase.
Pacman did the right thing when it threw an error message.

If you are not sure about exact package name use pacman search function:
Code: [Select]
pacman -Ss Chromium
And than use the package name from the output of this command.
Which in this case would be "extra/chromium", the "extra" is the repository and "chromium" is the package name
