Re: Can't install in VirtualBox Reply #3 – 12 October 2017, 13:21:13 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.Quote# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the# repo name header and Include lines.

KDE is very slow in VirtualBox (and i don't like it either),Edit: tried it and this is what i see after running Code: [Select]sudo pacman -U: Last Edit: 13 October 2017, 12:45:49 by weylyn1
Re: Can't install in VirtualBox Reply #5 – 13 October 2017, 16:59:34 You have to enable the server tooCode: [Select]Server = http://mirror1.artixlinux.org/repos/$repo/os/$archin /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlistMake sure you place this above all other mirrors

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.

Can you post the contents of your /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist?

Re: Can't install in VirtualBox Reply #10 – 14 October 2017, 08:23:07 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!
