I am not allowed to install packages from the mirror

Ride Garcher · 2023-11-12 09:01:35

I also tried using nano to comment linuxmirror links garr it but the problem persists.
What should i do?
Sorry for all this questione but i never used Arch

Please don't paraphrase, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855
Is this still the italian dude powered installation?

Ride Garcher · 2023-11-12 09:21:31

I am sorry. From today on I will respect the rules. I did not know.

i type, for example:

Sudo -S alsa-utils

And the log says:

Error:unable to download package
Warning:too many errors from archmirror.it
Warning:unable to perform requested operation (not a valid URL for the server)

Is it possible that the problem is in the italian mirror? Should i change the mirrors?

seth · 2023-11-12 09:30:45

And the log says:

Post the entire IO.

Or your mirror config.
The problem isn't that "OMG you didn't obey! the rules!!!1!!".
The problem is that you probably installed and configured some bunch of nonsense-fueled garbage, courtesy of some italian dude.

Ride Garcher · 2023-11-12 09:47:15

Ok, i get it.
I changed language from IT to EN.
How can i see mirror config so that i can share the IO with you?

Edit.
There's one easy way to copy and paste the log on this topic? Currently i still haven't got the desktop environment

1st link below

sudo LC_ALL=C pacman -S alsa 2>&1 | tee /tmp/pacman.txt
tail -n10000 /tmp/pacman.txt  /etc/pacman.conf /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist  | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Ride Garcher · 2023-11-12 16:30:39

I'm trying to figure out how this curl works

seth · 2023-11-12 16:35:44

https://0x0.st/ has a breakdown of the supported posts, "man curl" is gonna tell you what "-F" means.

Forgive me but I'm a veteran of years of using proprietary systems like Windows. I'm not used to this kind of thing and I'm not understanding.
Can you give me a practical example of how to send you a command line output or input?

If I understand correctly I have to use the pipe if I want to send an input command, but I'm not understanding anything else.

I would add that I am still learning to speak English unfortunately.

I did. Literally, running the commands in #6 will post your pacman config, mirrors and the pacman output when trying to install alsa.

Ride Garcher · 2023-11-12 16:59:14

I typed the command in #6. It says

Error: target not found: alsa

seth · 2023-11-12 17:02:08

Because there's no such pacakge in the repos; Sorry, I just imagined the rest of the token.
Try "alsa-utils" instead, just as in you previous attempt suggested in #3

Ride Garcher · 2023-11-12 17:09:14

I tried. she asks me if I want to download. I say yes obviously but then the download gives some errors. I then tried the second command in #6 but it says "curl: (6) Could not resolve host: 0x0.st

seth · 2023-11-12 17:12:18

So you've no internet or at least no DNS, this has nothing to do w/ pacman.
How are you currently posting? From the arch system where you can't install anything?

No, wait

Currently i still haven't got the desktop environment

So the italian dude fucked you over - quelle surprise.

re-install arch, this time follow the installation guide, there's even https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Instal … (Italiano)

Ride Garcher · 2023-11-12 17:14:53

What exactly happened? as I said in the other topic, in addition to receiving help, I would like to try to understand what happened so that I can become independent. and possibly help other users in the future

seth · 2023-11-12 17:19:06

You followed some idiot on youtube who gave you bogus instructions when installign the system.
What instrcutions, we don't know - ask the italian dude. He likely skipped over stuff or made false assumptions or the video was just terribly dated or he's a really mean guy who intentionally tricked you.

It frankly doesn't matter - follow the installation guide. It'll tell you how to configure the network when installing the system.
If you run into questions/problems with that, fee free to ask about them - we're not going to disect the pleaselikeshareandsubscribe nonsense of some dude - italian or whatever language.

Ride Garcher · 2023-11-12 17:20:38

Wait, if it's necessary i can connect to wi-fi. I did it during the installation. Should be useful?

seth · 2023-11-12 17:30:12

If you want to download a package or upload a file, having a functional internet connection sounds incredibly useful to me, doesn't?

Ride Garcher · 2023-11-12 17:41:09

I tried to do the same thing with the connection but it gives the same results. How do I check that the connection is working?

seth · 2023-11-12 17:43:13

ping -c1 0x0.st

But "Could not resolve host: 0x0.st" means you don't have working internet.
You can test whether it's just DNS

ping -c1 8.8.8.8

Ride Garcher · 2023-11-12 17:46:44

In the first case it says

Ping: 0x0.st: temporary failure in name solution

In the second case it says 1 packets trasmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms

seth · 2023-11-12 17:55:06

Cause you have no internet.
You can try to ping the _gateway, but i'm not holding my breath.

Do yourslef a favor and re-installhe system following the install guide.
You'll learn a lot if you pay some attention.

Ride Garcher · 2023-11-12 17:56:07

Ok i'll do it. Thank you for your patience
