SOLVED pacman

coacharnold · 2012-04-29 19:57:32

ok this is weird and I haven't found a sticky that covers it ....

Does anyone know why my pacman gives me this output when I use it ..(i've set up and re-setup my repo's to try and fix it )

warning: config file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist, line 199: directive 'Server' in section 'options' not recognized.

It looks like something is commented or uncommented incorrectly in the mirrorlist. Take a look at the offending lines.

falconindy · 2012-04-29 20:08:34

It would seem you've ignored the comment in /etc/pacman.conf:

 67 # The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
 68 # uncommented to enable the repo.

You've likely tried to add a repo before [core] and neglected to include the section header.

coacharnold · 2012-04-29 20:52:55

I know ...

I've even used the arch pacman scripts to redo my mirrorlist ....

here's what the lines the errors refers to look like,

## Uzbekistan
#Server = ftp://mirrors.st.uz/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
#Server = http://mirrors.st.uz/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = http://mirrors.rutgers.edu/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = http://mirror.ece.vt.edu/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = http://mirrors1.kernel.org/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = http://mirror.yellowfiber.net/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = http://mirror.mocker.org/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch

thanks

The error is in pacman.conf, not in the mirrorlist...

Trilby · 2012-04-29 20:56:39

Read falconindy's post again, and if still confused, post your pacman.conf, not your mirrorlist.

coacharnold · 2012-04-29 21:06:47

No Idea ... but here we go .... thanks for your patience on this

# /etc/pacman.conf

#
# 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 testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the

# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

Trilby · 2012-04-29 21:13:45

It is exactly as falconindy predicted. Comment the Include line under testing and community-testing.

ewaller · 2012-04-29 21:21:19

@coacharnold: Could I please get you to use 'code' tags as defined here. This is the same link as the BBCode:on link below post text box.

#[testing]
#SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[core]

I believe that falconindy is trying to convince you to comment out that Include line.

$DEITY karol and trilby you guys are fast

I'm commenting out the include line??? isn't that what is directing pacman to the mirrorlist? ... do I leave one of them open ??? everything here wa generated my the arch install and by the pacman script .... maybe post a copy of how yours looks .. I understand what your saying just don't know the "WHY?"

Psykorgasm · 2012-04-29 21:29:29

coacharnold, if you leave the "Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist" under #[testing], the include line is registered under [options] because the header [testing] is commented out, and not read.

If you do not use testing just delete completely or comment it all out like so;

#[testing]
#SigLevel = PackageRequired
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[core]
#SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
#SigLevel = PackageOptional
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community]
#SigLevel = PackageOptional
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

coacharnold · 2012-04-29 21:29:47

not solved here

Trilby · 2012-04-29 21:31:56

It will not be solved until you follow the simple instructions presented in several different ways.

coacharnold · 2012-04-29 21:32:21

Psykorgasm · 2012-04-29 21:35:06

Well thanks, but the info was already given to you multiple times
Just take a little time to sit back and have a think about it, usually things make a little more sense when you take time Remember to mark as solved as Karol said, cya!

coacharnold · 2012-04-29 21:36:02

where the hell is the solved switch on this forum ...????

chamber · 2012-04-29 21:37:02

Just edit your title.
