Thank you Francesco, I will attempt this again later on today.

edit: I'm STILL getting errors :/ I tried to enable system-testing as well as world-testing too and I just can't seem to make it install...

I was getting stuck because of qt5-base package, but now its failing to install the EFI boot manager... -.-

Edit: and yes I have made a FAT32 /boot/efi drive. I've tried to make one before the / drive & one after the / drive... Maybe if I disable the -testing repos it might make a difference, I dunno...

2nd edit: I have managed to get it installed but no UEFI, just BIOS, and I had to fight with that for quite some time. We have a big problem with files becoming "corrupted", I really think the ISO's should contain the necessary installation files to avoid this insane problem, I don't know much about Linux but I think this is definitely something the Artix team should do.

Kenny, please, can you post the COMMANDS that you used to install Artix? Just the copy and paste of the terminal.

Without the list of the commands and only with the log, is almost impossible to understand what happen.

Thank you :)

List of commands??? I don't know what you're talking about... I open up Calamares in the terminal and click stuff... ????????
I'm sorry but you really can't expect new-ish users to know what you're talking about all the time.. I don't understand what you're asking for... like, at all... I just post the errors and the stuff that goes on in the terminal when I open up Calamares..

 think this thread has become unnecessarily confusing

I didn't know that calamares had terminal commands to do the installation, I thought it was all menus and arrows.

Interesting though if it does, for anyone running like a production run of similar installation to similar equipment, you make a script and off you go to coffee and begels.

Kenny,
1) yes, calamares don't support command

2) I simply wanted to know how you launched calamares: using the GUI Menu or from the terminal?

3) forgive me if I wasn't clear to explain. :D

In the post n° 48, I pasted the link at a post that explain, step by step, how to manage the installation. Did you read it?

No I am not using commands to do the calamares installation! I just use sudo calamares to open calamares up...

Hi, I have the same problem - it is not possible to install Artix via Calamares.

After some investigation I found there is at least one problem in "galaxy":
Package virtualbox-guest-modules-artix-5.2.0-7 is defined in pacman "galaxy" database but no relevant files exists on any of the pacman mirrors in galaxy subfolder.
This package is required by Calamares (even if I am installing Artix on "physical" PC) and this is probably the reason why some python scripts fails.

5.2.0-7 is in galaxy
5.2.2 exists in galaxy-testing but I don't see why this would be required by the installer
it also conflicts with  virtualbox-guest-dkms if you want vb installed.

I used the early lxqt image to install artix a few days ago without QT, which I dislike.
I only had to edit the mirrorlists to the new ones manually and it all worked flawlessly.

You must also upgrade and populate the new keyrings and then refresh/update again.

...


Sorry, I cannot agree. The reality is little bit different:
The package virtualbox-guest-modules-artix-5.2.0-7 is included/defined ONLY in galaxy DATABASE file galaxy.db.
But there are missing relevant files (.xz and .sig) in /repos/galaxy/os/x86_64, there are only files:
virtualbox-ck-guest-modules-5.2.0-8-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz   154K   19-Nov-2017 11:59
virtualbox-ck-guest-modules-5.2.0-8-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz.sig   566   19-Nov-2017 11:59
virtualbox-ck-host-modules-5.2.0-8-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz   184K   19-Nov-2017 11:59
virtualbox-ck-host-modules-5.2.0-8-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz.sig   566   19-Nov-2017 11:59
virtualbox-guest-utils-openrc-20170919-1-any.pkg.tar.xz   2312   21-Sep-2017 12:05
virtualbox-guest-utils-openrc-20170919-1-any.pkg.tar.xz.sig   566   21-Sep-2017 12:07
nothing else.

The situation does not depend on the mirror, I checked all four currently accessible mirrors.
