Install from existing linux: cannot start pacman

I have been trying to install Arch from within my Kubuntu 12.04 64bit system following the guide at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … ting_Linux using the method 2.
I launched the script and it created all the folders and everything went fine in the script until the last 2 lines:

chroot $CHROOT_DIR /usr/bin/pacman -Sy
chroot $CHROOT_DIR /bin/bash

(I launched the script from within terminal)

These are the errors that I got:

chroot: failed to run command `pacman': No such file or directory
chroot: failed to run command `bash': No such file or directory

And I am stuck, I checked the folders and both exist.

I searched the forums but I cannot find any help... sorry if maybe I've skipped something.

Anybody can help?

Re: Install from existing linux: cannot start pacman

maybe you hadn't set CHROOT_DIR in that terminal ?

echo $CHROOT_DIR

is an easy way to verify what the terminal you're typing that command in thinks it's set to.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.


(A works at time B)  && (time C > time B ) ≠  (A works at time C)
