[SOLVED by wonder] how to come-back to Arch from parabola linux?
Dear Archers
I had migrated to parabola. Linux-libre kernel got loaded. Now, I want to come back to Arch. I am unable to load Linux 3.0.6-2
What is the way out?

Provide some details then - "unable to load linux 3.0.6-2" is vague.

I have un-installed 'your-freedom', installed by parabola, commented out 'Libre' repositories in pacman.conf, ran pacman -Syyu. I was hoping the Linux-3.0.6-2 would be installed when this is done. No, did not happen.
I tried to load it with "pacman -S linux 3.0.6-2, but says package not found
unable to install flash plug-in also

You shouldn't include the package version number in pacman commands.

Re: [SOLVED by wonder] how to come-back to Arch from parabola linux?
be sure you switch back to our mirrors first.
the proper way to switch back to our kernel is pacman -S linux
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Dear Wonder
Thank you. I never thought parabola would have changed the mirrorlist completely. I was asked to Libre repository in pacman.conf, which I had done. Never bothered to check mirrorlist

Also make sure you recreate the local mirror data with -Syy the next time you run into trouble.
