[SOLVED] Installing sudo
Hello, I was wondering why I'm getting loads of errors when I try to install sudo with pacman -S sudo? I've done pacman -Syu to try to update and it gives me another load of errors. Why is this?

Re: [SOLVED] Installing sudo
I suggest giving this thread a read.
I do usually try to be as descriptive as possible, but it's on a Virtual Machine so I cannot copy and paste the error because I haven't installed a DE or WM. I'll take a screen shot of the little screen it shows of like half the error. That's all I can do though. So this is what happens when I type in pacman -S sudo:

Re: [SOLVED] Installing sudo
Even in cases like this there are better options. You could redirect the command output to a file on a network share, vbox share or passthrough USB.
But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist.

Do you have a working network?

Re: [SOLVED] Installing sudo

Yes, but apparently not on the VM. They said if you're using a VM, you wouldn't have to install the stuff to connect to the internet... How do I do it from here since I'm not on the iso image anymore?
EDIT: I tried systemctl enable dhcpcd.service and got the output of ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/dhcpcd.service' '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/dhcpcd.service' but pinging 8.8.8.8 says unreachable still.

Re: [SOLVED] Installing sudo
Ah, all I had to do was type 'dhcpcd' and then restart. Now it works.

So you can update now and install the needed packages ? If the problem is solved can you please mark it in the title of the thread?
