[DONE] Failing to download packs using Yaourt

archenemies · 2018-04-19 18:51:39

Hello people of arch, i am a new user to the system, just finished a full install yester today, and am relative new to Linux, so i am trying to download stuff via yaourt, but 50% it fails to download said thing, for example when i try to download GtkHash i get this:

/tmp/yaourt-tmp-ghost/aur-gtkhash/./PKGBUILD: line 25: make: command not found
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Aborting...
==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build gtkhash.

And when trying to get another thing, like spotify i get this:

==> Entering fakeroot environment...
/usr/bin/makepkg: line 170: fakeroot: command not found
==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build spotify.

And when i am posting anyway, which application/packs visual manager do you recommend for MATE?
Oh and lastly, i don't seem to have a working desktop, can't put icon on it or right click it, it worked yester today, but i have somehow disabled it?

Thanks in advance and for your time
Sincerely Archenemies

Don't use any AUR helpers such as yaourt until you understand how the process works manually.

The answer you seek can be found here...

How did you install yaourt?

Thank you, i will read up on it, not everything can be archived thought trail and error i guess

And WorMzy, just using pacman and then allowing siglever in pacman.conf, if i remember right. Just moved from Windows 7 to the magic world Linux, i am sure once you get used to code hunting and fixing your own problems it become a vastly more enjoyable experience, going arch instead of W7

How did you install arch linux and what is the contents of /etc/pacman.conf?

This is not possible.

Please post your full pacman.conf as well as the output of `uname -a`.

Which instructions did you follow to install your system?

It is if he used the infamous archlinux.fr repo (and set SigLevel never), but I'd also like to see the other things you asked for.

I did an install from scrath, using a live USP with arch on and readning a guide on how to build arch up, to the point of you having a working DE, and from there you were on your own. My pacman.conf looks like this

-------START----------

GNU nano 2.9.5 /etc/pacman.conf

#
# /etc/pacman.conf
#
# See the pacman.conf(5) manpage for option and repository directives

#
# GENERAL OPTIONS
#
[options]
# The following paths are commented out with their default values listed.
# If you wish to use different paths, uncomment and update the paths.
#RootDir = /
#DBPath = /var/lib/pacman/
#CacheDir = /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
#LogFile = /var/log/pacman.log
#GPGDir = /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/
#HookDir = /etc/pacman.d/hooks/
HoldPkg = pacman glibc
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/curl -C - -f %u > %o
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u
#CleanMethod = KeepInstalled
#UseDelta = 0.7
Architecture = auto

# Pacman won't upgrade packages listed in IgnorePkg and members of IgnoreGroup
#IgnorePkg =
#IgnoreGroup =

#NoUpgrade =
#NoExtract =

# Misc options
#UseSyslog
#Color
#TotalDownload
CheckSpace
#VerbosePkgLists

# By default, pacman accepts packages signed by keys that its local keyring
# trusts (see pacman-key and its man page), as well as unsigned packages.
SigLevel = Required DatabaseOptional
LocalFileSigLevel = Optional
#RemoteFileSigLevel = Required

# NOTE: You must run `pacman-key --init` before first using pacman; the local
# keyring can then be populated with the keys of all official Arch Linux
# packagers with `pacman-key --populate archlinux`.

#
# REPOSITORIES
# - can be defined here or included from another file
# - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
# - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
# - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
# have identical names, regardless of version number
# - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
# - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# 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
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

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

[core]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[community-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# If you want to run 32 bit applications on your x86_64 system,
# enable the multilib repositories as required here.

#[multilib-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# An example of a custom package repository. See the pacman manpage for
# tips on creating your own repositories.
#[custom]
#SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
#Server = file:///home/custompkgs

[archlinuxfr]
SigLevel = Never
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/$arch

-----STOP------

And my uname-a is: Linux linux 4.14.34-1-lts #1 SMP Thu Apr 12 20:30:09 CEST 2018 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Since i am such a noob to Linux i had to copy and paste every section for itself, in nano, hope i didn't miss anything.
How do you copy ALL the text content of a nano at once?

And thanks everyone for your time
I see it was true that Linux, tho having a small community, is a strong and active one

Please read the Code of Conduct and edit your post(s) accordingly.

It sounds like you followed an unsupported installation guide. You should install from-scratch using https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_guide and no other guides.

On a similar note, do not use the archlinuxfr repo.

All the best,

Do not cnp, esp. not from a shell texteditor.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Li … in_clients

Install the base-devel group

which application/packs visual manager do you recommend for MATE

None. Use pacman.

Oh and lastly, i don't seem to have a working desktop, can't put icon on it or right click it, it worked yester today, but i have somehow disabled it?

See CoC, shopping lists are not allowed. Please open one thread per topic.
But first check whether you did one of https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MA … ktop_icons

That was my point. The OP claimed he had not added anything to pacman.conf (other than sig level) and then installed yaourt with pacman. That is impossible. Adding an unsupported repo is a substantial and memorable change to pacman.conf.
