Update proplem, Super Noob, New to Garuda Linux as of 1 hour ago

Hello wonderful people, absolute noob here.

Just fus-ro-dah’d Windows 10 for Garuda Linux, after watching a few YouTube videos,
it is my first time booting straight after clicking install on the boot manager, now i am in the deep end with this update error.

error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)

I have searched up my issue an i have to do this pacman -Syu jdk-openjdk but have no idea how to do this as i am very new to all of this.

Also when i went to create this topic it suggested i do this command “garuda-inxi” to give a text file i can upload here of details needed in order to get assistance however i have no idea do to either can someone please help me cheers.

In the terminal. Honestly, if you don’t even know where you run Linux commands then you should go and learn the basics of Linux before.

type that into the terminal and copy pasta the output according to the instructions in the template you deleted before you made this post.

also search the forums here before asking for help, you may usually find what you need without assistance =-)

be gentle with newbs lol, they’re coming from an environment where Bill Gates holds everyone by the [mod edit] after holding their hand.

Yes it is, just remember that when pasting terminal text on forum wrap it in
~~~
terminal text here
~~~
like this
it makes it appear like this,

terminal text here

I did it for you on your previous post. :smiley: This just makes terminal text easier to read for us all.

Btw, gotta mention, to update your system always use the command

garuda-update

from terminal. Use pacman or any other GUI software as per your convenience to install new software.

that’s the info, thank you.
it looks like someone corrected the format, using 3 grave symbols before and again after the body of text so it looks contained and is easier to read and deal with.

Gentle with what? Someone asking where commands are executed on Linux is simply because hasn’t made any effort to search in Google.

Ok, now go and run the command to resolve your problem in the terminal, that’s it.

Thank you mate, i appreciate the assistance, i have run the command

garuda-update

run in to the problem i am posting about, applied the fix

pacman -Syu jdk-openjdk

It gives me another error: you cannot perform this operation unless you are root.

How do i do this cheers.

Run it as root, go and read in Google how you run commands as root.

LMFAO ^.^

This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.

Take a look at the already opened posts here and see if they help you,

btw, eduard as rude as he is, is right on this one. He is the more rude version of try to google it. To run commands as root you append sudo before them, → sudo - How do I run a command as the system administrator (root) - Unix & Linux Stack Exchange

You said it, an assistance thread, not a babysitter thread.

That seems to have escalated quickly. I agree we should be more friendly to people, especially since it seems this particular human seems to have tried. It doesn’t fit our philosophy to be a second Arch forum (though there are of course certain limits) :face_with_monocle:

Seeing that we seem to struggle to find new contributors made me think about what’s the reason for a while :frowning:

Yeah, I could probably be kinder & gentler, myself. Which does not fit into the philosophy of the person who initially gave me of his knowledge and experience in learning Linux. Mostly he reminded me that I was the student, not the teacher, and if I wanted his help I needed to do the work–all of it, not just the initial footwork–he didn’t have the time to mess around (he passed 2 years later). So I did, he did, then we did.

But I’m of an older generation–there were so many of us Boomers–and perhaps things are different now. I do know two things.

  1. If someone has fire in their belly to learn, I’m there, just like my mentor was for me.
  2. If they want to be spoonfed, they’re going to have to feed themselves. Now I’m the one short on time.

I love Linux. I love Linux learners more. But, God, I love Linux. :heart:

Well, the person didn’t make at least one effort.

  1. Asking where you should run a command on Linux? Seriously? That’s like the first thing that you learn about Linux, where you run a command.
  2. So, he was able to run garuda-inxi and then I sent him to run it on the same terminal. The terminal tells clearly: you cannot perform this operation unless you are root., can’t you do a quick google search?

People that come here with this kind of questions and problems, showing the least effort to learn by itself will simply end up filling the forum with meaningful “issues” simply by no reading a clear message error or not taking the time to, yes, Google it.

And, additionally insulting people because they are sent to read? Let’s no feed help vampires, thanks.
