Need help with arch proaudio repo

Issues & Assistance
,
1

Hello! I love what you’ve done with the Hyprland variant. And I want to commit to it as a my daily driver, but I am an audio enthusiest and music creator and would love to have access to more audio software. I know there is an unofficial proaudio arch repo. Is there anyway to get access to it? It seems that the methods for adding it to my system are not working. Primarily I am unable to add the key file. I’d appreciate any help I could get.

Thanks!

Add the repo to your /etc/pacman.conf:

[proaudio]
Server = https://arch.osamc.de/$repo/$arch

Download, import and sign the current signing key:

curl https://arch.osamc.de/proaudio/osamc.gpg | sudo pacman-key --add -
sudo pacman-key --lsign-key 762AE5DB2B38786364BD81C4B9141BCC62D38EE5

then

sudo pacman -Sy

to synchronize the database, or better yet

garuda-update

and reboot.

This only works with:

On a user account, pacman-key needs sudo.

11

i chanced to sudo su ( not recommended) isnt like root? it worked. :upside_down_face:

ive tested you mention.

on a normal user account it starting and blinking a cursor for over 10 minutes ive aborted it for testing it like you say on user account ?

Did you change your pacman.conf correctly and then save it? Relevant section:

# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#

[garuda]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/chaotic-mirrorlist

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

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

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

[chaotic-aur]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/chaotic-mirrorlist

[proaudio]
Server = https://arch.osamc.de/$repo/$arch

# 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

If so, reboot and just run

garuda-update

again.

gotta love spelling mistakes! I fixed a typo and it worked.

17

Where, in the pacman.conf ?

18

Yea. [prodaudio] instead of [proaudio]

19

Once the new build comes out I’m switching my main os to it.

20

Yea. Copying a block of code and pasting it back into the right place without making any spelling mistakes is very difficult :wink:

But that wasn’t the cause of this:

The cause was that you didn’t run pacman-key with sudo.

Also:

We always mark here the solution and not the implementation. I changed it.
