Pacman + testing

Hi,

I want to test the new nvidiadriver (169) on my arch because the stable 100.14.16 doesn't work for my 8800gt.
I`ve change the pacman.conf and set up the testing resporitory.

But when I enter "pacman -S testing/nvidia" i get an Error: no such resporitory. Why?

Thx + sorry for my englisch

Re: Pacman + testing

You need to run "pacman -Syu" first which will update your system and sync with the testing repository.

Did you sync the databases after changing pacman.conf?  If that's not it post your edited pacman.conf -- perhaps something is wrong there.

Re: Pacman + testing

Are you sure you set up pacman.conf right?

Make sure you UNCOMMENT the [testing] header.

You don't want this:

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

You DO want this:

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

Run 'pacman -Sy' after enabling testing.
