Arch32 pacman error? [SOLVED]

I just did a new install of my system and the first time I installed arch32 no problems this time I have a problem when I try to install anything in the 32 bit environment I get this

error: failed retrieving file 'core.db.tar.gz' from mirror : Transient resolver failure

I noticed that I don't have internet inside the arch32 environment. How do I fix this?

Thanks

I'm assuming you internet connection is working....  Try changing the mirror you are using.  It looks like that one hasn't finished syncing.

I had the same problem - try copying over the /etc/resolv.conf from your 64-bit system - that worked for me.

Mark it solved..................................

Does the wiki work with symlink?  Or did you not symlink?

Re: Arch32 pacman error? [SOLVED]

Yes, I'm having the same problem too.

I followed the chroot tutorial, but I am getting no network in the arch32 chroot, but fine in 64-bit.

I used the ln command as listed:

ln /etc/resolv.conf                 .

and it gives the error

ln: creating hard link `./resolv.conf': File exists

What's the solution to this?

Thanks

Remove /opt/arch32/etc/resolv.conf first?
I find that wiki article very confusing.. I'd like to try and clean it up sometime!

Re: Arch32 pacman error? [SOLVED]

The wiki's just been updated, it's much more straightforward now.

The one thing which I solved for the resolv conf was to do as suggested before, to copy the 64-bit /etc/resolv.conf to /opt/arch32/etc/resolv.conf

i.e.

cp -v /etc/resolv.conf /opt/arch32/etc/resolv.conf
