Hello fellow Artix users.
I am a newbie, and I am having an issue with installing Blender via the AUR.
Whether I try to manually install it via Git or use yay, it still has the same problem.
-> No AUR package found for opencollada
-> No AUR package found for opensubdiv
-> could not find all required packages: opencollada
could not find all required packages: opensubdiv
How do I fix this issue?
They are in arch's extra repo. https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Repositories
When I tried to add the extras repo, when I tried to (re)install a program, it gave me this output:
warning: database file for 'extra' does not exist (use '-Sy' to download)
warning: vim-9.0.2143-1 is up to date -- reinstalling
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not find database)
What am I doing wrong, exactly?
Have you tried using -Sy to download the database file?
When I attempt to do that, I get an error that states
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed to synchronize all databases (no servers configured for repository)
I think there is some misconfiguration. Did you install artix-archlinux-support as explained in wiki? Show us your pacman.conf.
1. I did in fact install artix-archlinux-support.
2. This is my pacman configfile:
#
# /etc/pacman.conf
#
# See the pacman.conf(5) manpage for option and repository directives
#
# GENERAL OPTIONS
#
[options]
# The following paths are commented out with their default values listed.
# If you wish to use different paths, uncomment and update the paths.
#RootDir = /
#DBPath = /var/lib/pacman/
#CacheDir = /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
#LogFile = /var/log/pacman.log
#GPGDir = /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/
#HookDir = /etc/pacman.d/hooks/
HoldPkg = pacman glibc
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/curl -L -C - -f -o %o %u
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u
#CleanMethod = KeepInstalled
Architecture = auto
# Pacman won't upgrade packages listed in IgnorePkg and members of IgnoreGroup
#IgnorePkg =
#IgnoreGroup =
#NoUpgrade =
#NoExtract =
# Misc options
#UseSyslog
#Color
#NoProgressBar
CheckSpace
#VerbosePkgLists
#ParallelDownloads = 5
# By default, pacman accepts packages signed by keys that its local keyring
# trusts (see pacman-key and its man page), as well as unsigned packages.
SigLevel = Required DatabaseOptional
LocalFileSigLevel = Optional
#RemoteFileSigLevel = Required
# NOTE: You must run `pacman-key --init` before first using pacman; the local
# keyring can then be populated with the keys of all official Artix Linux
# packagers with `pacman-key --populate artix`.
#
# REPOSITORIES
# - can be defined here or included from another file
# - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
# - 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 $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
# [repo-name]
# Server = ServerName
# Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#
# The gremlins repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.
#[system-gremlins]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[system]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
#[world-gremlins]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[world]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
#[galaxy-gremlins]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[galaxy]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
# If you want to run 32 bit applications on your x86_64 system,
# enable the lib32 repositories as required here.
#[lib32-gremlins]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
#[lib32]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
# An example of a custom package repository. See the pacman manpage for
# tips on creating your own repositories.
#[custom]
#SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
#Server = file:///home/custompkgs
*I had to add the [extras] part manually, but removed it to make pacman usable again.
You'll need this section in pacman.conf:
[extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch
You'll need that file
/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch, which provides by
archlinux-mirrorlist, which is dependancy of
artix-archlinux-support.
In that file you'll need at least one uncommented working server section. i.e.:
## Worldwide
Server = https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/$repo/os/$arch
If you have all this and still get "no servers configured for repository" error - I'm out of ideas, sorry.
