Architect - [install basepkgs][255] error

Support
1

Hello there!

I’ve been trying to install Manjaro XFCE with architect in order to get ZFS on root working, but I’m getting stuck on the step where you install the kernel & DE with a [install basepkgs][255] error.

I’d post my m-a.log, however I’m being prevented from posting any kind of links when posting.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

you can post the link formatted as code

copy-paste and use code tags?

Are you using manjaro-architect iso or some other manjaro iso (other is usually better)?

Here’s the link: https://gist.github.com/TimekillerTK/97c50e9a58c8136e5754ed9a04b572de

This is the ISO I downloaded: https://osdn.net/projects/manjaro/storage/xfce/20.1.2/manjaro-xfce-20.1.2-201019-linux58.iso

The log does not show enough info. Try again, and if the error repeats, scroll up to see the actual pacman output. The error message should show why it is failing.

I managed to recreate the issue on another desktop. Here’s the pacman output I managed to copy/paste into a text file: https://gist.github.com/TimekillerTK/c8e1ec5df7a9a5572f979da3170cb047#file-pacmantext-txt

Added m-a.log and pacman.log since it’s on another machine.

You have a pacman lock file there. You need to delete that to proceed:

sudo rm /mnt/var/lib/pacman/db.lck

Them run the installation part again.

I feel stupid now.
