I keep getting this when I try to install Artix on another one of my computers. Its a Toshiba Satellite C750 or 745 I think.
Its a quad-core 1.4ghz 64-bit laptop, in BIOS not UEFI. I installed Artix on a non-UEFI and a UEFI computer just fine but for some reason I am encountering this error. What's happening here? Is it not connecting to download the packages it needs? :S
I am using the latest LXQT Artix ISO from sourceforge, the newest one. I'm going to try to use the i3 one to see what happens with it.
I figured it out! It was the connection - I had to edit /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist - changed the servers on the live USB to the ones on my main PC already running Artix:
Server = http://mirror1.artixlinux.org/repos/$repo/os/$arch
Server = http://artix.wheaton.edu/repos/$repo/os/$arch/
Server = http://mirror.strits.dk/artix-linux/repos/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/artix-linux/repos/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://www.uex.dk/repos/artix/repos/$repo/os/$arch
^ those are the servers I added to the live USB, I did a sudo pacman -Syyu & then tried Calamares & it worked!
But why is this ongoing issue?
The only way to find out is to run sudo -E calarares -d in terminal, and look at the output when the issue occurs again
I've been having this exact same issue, right down to the error code! However, I tried what kenny_w did and pacman -Syyu failed (this was on the most recent install iso). I tried installing Artix with any iso I could find and it has constantly failed with the same error. Does anybody know why this keeps happening?
Weird, I can do pacman -Syyu no problem.. you commented out the other ones right?
You gotta have the ones I listed above, they're the ones I'm using right now.
Please run
sudo -E calamares -d in terminal, reproduce the issue, paste the output from terminal to any paste hosting site and link it here

From the looks of the log, it seems the pacman failed to find
lxqt-common. Can you try check the contents of
/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and
/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-archAlso, while you're at live session, run the command
sudo pacman -Syyu in there and paste the output of it. I have feeeling the installation fails because of pacman errors itself...
"error: target not found: lxqt-common" looks to me that this is the error it would appear, checking pamac, that lxqt-common has been removed so in the calamares package selection untick it.
I have just update the
netgroup (And also
iso-profiles) to replace
lxqt-common with
lxqt-themes@Endymyon , please try to do the installations again
