[arch-ports] [x86_64] prefer ftp-install to avoid glibc upgrade issues
FTP install is now possible from all mirrors again and should be the prefered way to install a fresh Arch64 from now on to not go in trouble with the glibc update. Also our current repo is fresh as the 32bit one again :) http://home.arcor.de/a.radke/arch64/list/pkg_diff.html Updating extra packages and a new ISO will be the next steps. AndyRTR
Now that the ftp install works, here is a brief review of problems I've noticed and their possible solutions : _*First*_ : Xorg ... pacman -S xorg xorg-fonts-75dpi xorg-fonts-100dpi is better done than on arch32 there is less pkg missing anyway it still lacks : xterm xf86-input-mouse and xf86-input-keyboard ( I wish to have a working computer with no mouse / keyboard :| ) _Second_ : nvidia: pacman -S nvidia nvidia: not found in sync db hum ... wget ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/extra/os/x86_64/nvidia-1.0.8178-16.1.pkg.tar.gz' then 'pacman -A nvidia-1.0.8178-16.1.pkg.tar.gz That will do the trick except that after you have to live with : /sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 is empty, not checked. /sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libnvidia-cfg.so.1 is empty, not checked. /sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA.so.1.0.8178 is empty, not checked. /sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.1 is empty, not checked. /sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1 is empty, not checked. /sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libnvidia-cfg.so is empty, not checked. /sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.8178 is empty, not checked. /sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.8178 is empty, not checked. /sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libnvidia-cfg.so.1.0.8178 is empty, not checked. /sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libGL.so is empty, not checked. /sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 is empty, not checked. /sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1.0.8178 is empty, not checked. In EACH pacman command : / It's also weird that the official pkg ( http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/1.0-8762/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64...) don't work at all, you can "modprobe nvidia" but then X xomplain that it can't loads the nvidia module ... _*Third*_ : the WM/DM ( hopefully I use fluxbox ... ) pacman -S kde :: group kde: arts gwenview kde-common kdeaccessibility kdeaddons kdeadmin kdeartwork kdebase kdebindings kdeedu kdegames kdegraphics kdelibs kdemultimedia kdenetwork kdepim kdesdk kdetoys kdeutils Install whole content? [Y/n] error: cannot resolve dependencies for "kdepim": "pilot-link" is not in the package set pacman -S gnome :: group gnome: gnome-icon-theme control-center epiphany gnome-applets gnome-backgrounds gnome-common gnome-desktop gnome-media gnome-mime-data gnome-panel gnome-session gnome-themes gnome2-user-docs metacity nautilus vte yelp Install whole content? [Y/n] error: cannot resolve dependencies for "gconf": "orbit2" is not in the package set pacman -S xfce4 :: group xfce4: gtk-xfce-engine libxfce4mcs libxfce4util libxfcegui4 xfcalendar xfce-mcs-manager xfce-mcs-plugins xfce-utils xfce4-appfinder xfce4-icon-theme xfce4-iconbox xfce4-mixer xfce4-panel xfce4-session xfce4-systray xfce4-toys xfce4-trigger-launcher xfdesktop xffm xfprint xfwm4 xfwm4-themes Install whole content? [Y/n] error: cannot resolve dependencies for "xfce4-toys": "fortune-mod" is not in the package set _Fourth_ : other programms : pacman -Ss openoffice community/openoffice-pl 2.0.2-1 OpenOffice polish language files ntp misses a dependancies maybe because it should be installed : libelf Point third and fourth (and nvidia driver install) are easely correctable => the extra db is just wrecked I think those "major" issues should be corrected Thanks Warnaud
Nobody ever declared the extra repo from archlinux.org ready for use! [root@workstation64 andyrtr]# pacman -Qf nvidia nvidia 1.0.8762-1.1 works very well :) Sit back and wait until extra repo is back up to date again. I'm doing updates and a new ISO in a parallel way. It will take a while. Everybody should still use arch64.org until you know what you do and how to solve or live with broken libs. AndyRTR
lol, so if I read well your previous message FTP install works now ? but from what ftp ... no way to connect to ftp://arch64.org :( but on ftp.archlinux.org yes So we need to have current on ftp.archlinux.org and extra on arch64.org ? Also you said all is up to date ... ok yes but on ftp.archlinux.org for current That's what I thought we have to use archlinux.org now Warnaud Andreas Radke a écrit :
