[Solved] pacman won't update kernel
Hi, I create a base image that I clone to build from, it has nothing added but 'base-devel', earlier I installed an XFCE install, I went to create another from the same base image, when I install nvidia it told me in both cases that it needed a newer kernel 3.1.4, so I ran
pacman -Syu . This morning this solves the problem, right now it states that it has nothing to update (it's made from the same image) and nvidia won't install stating it needs that upgrade. I shuffled mirrors around to see if it helped but it didn't. Anyone have an idea of why this is occurring?
thanks in advance for your help.

Re: [Solved] pacman won't update kernel
No, it doesn't do the upgrade, it insists there is nothing to upgrade, while the nvidia install says that there is.
pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils extra/opencl-nvidia

Re: [Solved] pacman won't update kernel
I don't know why your mirror is lying to you. What kernel version do you have installed?
Download ftp://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/Linux/ArchLin … pkg.tar.xz manually.
You need to get the dependencies too: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/linux/

Re: [Solved] pacman won't update kernel
You've been changing mirrors so you need to do
pacman -SyyuTwo 'y' and not one.

Re: [Solved] pacman won't update kernel
