Trouble with pacman, and octopi im sure they are related (SOLVED)

llama · 11 March 2023 02:21

Ok So my pacman installer from terminal is having trouble finding packages that i know for sure are in the repo that i have. I already checked my pacman config its good. ive updated everything and all that. My other issue is because pacman is acting up i tried octopi installer.
That thing is even worse. It keeps starting to install but then says there is conflicting packages and asks if i would like to hit Yes or no to chose what package. I say yes then nothing happens. The log shows it goes ahead with the install and freezes up as the end never stooping so i am forced to close wich in tern means i dont get the installed software.

Where's your Garuda Inxi or any kind of logs or examples?

llama · 11 March 2023 02:23

what one should i be interested in? the pacman one basically just shows what it prints out

llama · 11 March 2023 02:41

Here is some journalD logs a ton of stuff. Also yesterday I tried out the F-word command tool that fixes mistakes you make and i ran it and it sent my system into a real loop. The cpu spun out to max ton of errors nothing I did would stop it. even rebooting. so I finally had to delete my shell config file and that stopped it. 36:29 | @/.snapshots/62/snapshot | pre | pacman -S community/npm - Pastebin.com

Just type the command into your terminal:

garuda-inxi

Paste the output into the thread.

If you are talking about fsck, it does not fix mistakes you make. It can detect and attempt to repair damaged filesystems. Also Btrfs is not really supported. In general, it is uncommon for it to be explicitly run in user space. I would advise not running it at all until you read more about what it does and how it is intended to be invoked. fsck - ArchWiki

Paste into the thread also the input and output of:

garuda-update

No not fssck its actually called TheF^&*, its pretty neat plugin TheF^&*^ plugin for linux command line about the btrs ive ran it with arch for a long time now never had an issue I do like the feature that it gives with snap shot backups very useful

BluishHumility was only commenting about how BTRFS isn’t supported using fsck, not BTRFS as a whole, as that what Garuda Linux ships with.

If you are getting errors from that, what commands were you running? It gives confirmation by default on what it tries to “fix”. You shouldn’t be blindly accepting what it fixes.

Quote from Github about its default being requiring confirmation:
If you’re not afraid of blindly running corrected commands, the require_confirmation settings option can be disabled

BluishHumility · 11 March 2023 05:26

I did not know about this project, I thought you were doing something else!

Don’t forget to post when you get a chance:

garuda-update

llama · 11 March 2023 05:30

for sure I only used it twice, and from what i understand it just fixes stuff like forgetting to sudo. stuff like that but I was getting these before ever using that. I am just trying to think of things that I did that could have cuased something to change. I changed from fish shell to bash, thats one thing I was thinkig could cause the issue but if that was the case I would have issues with my shell or errors pointing that direction like bashrc or something. I never did like the octopi installer It always kinda confused me how they do things. panmac is nice fallback when you dont use pacman,

sorry that didnt paste well here it is. that is all from trying to install pamac via yay ─llama@Mac95XP in ~ as 🧙 took 16s✦ ╰─λ yay -S pamac-aur:: Checking for conf - Pastebin.com

llama · 11 March 2023 05:42

wait I just hit q to exit and now its installing . freaking odd. ive never seen that before

Kayo · 11 March 2023 05:44

I wouldn't say "odd", that is typical after showing a review.

BluishHumility · 11 March 2023 05:57

I agree, that looks normal. All that output is the PKGBUILD, so you can review it before installing. Press Q to exit the PKGBUILD and start installing.

Next time, you can format terminal output by adding three tildes (~) before and after

like this.

I edited yours above, you can see it looks much better.

Anyway, glad you got it working but be careful installing packages with Pamac–it has a reputation for causing problems. Now that you are familiar with Yay, a safe method would be to use Pamac to search for a package, but install with Yay.

llama · 11 March 2023 05:58

i mean maybe on garuda but ive been on arco linux fedora and others and never got sent to one of those screens when just dealing with conflicts but maybe im lucky or something if that is normal to not see them till now

llama · 11 March 2023 06:01

yea thanks, i usualy dont and just use pacman I just wanted it over the octopi one, yea not sure what i did to change the format of the output to make t look like something was wrong, I did just install garuda a few days ago so maybe thats default? but in anycase thanks for walking me through the steps i appreciate you both for taking the time

Kayo · 11 March 2023 06:07

Since you aren't used to pacman, I'll leave this here to read. It is an extremely well done chart of commands, and what they are for different distros too.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman/Rosetta

llama · 11 March 2023 06:09

oh I think i wrote that wrong I mean i dont normally use pamac and usually use pacman but I always love a good read. can always learn more thanks

Kayo · 11 March 2023 06:14

hehe, okay good! Pacman is typically more preferable to install things with anyways.
For a GUI package manager, I typically go with bauh, even if I mostly use Pacman. It's a good way to see information on packages a bit easier. Somebody I know uses bauh extensively with Garuda and seems to love it (and hasn't experienced issues with it long as they use garuda-update first )
