I am having to post this from my phone. Please forgive poor formatting. I’m literally stuck in this OS with no way out.
I tried to run pacman -Sy —debug
multilib.db
core.db
extra.db
community.db
No such file or directory.
I did successfully update my mirrorlist
Please help if I can’t download and install software I can’t even flash a drive to get out of here if I wanted to. Otherwise I actually like this OS a lot.
You can flash a drive from your computer using the just the CLI and pre-installed software, as long as you have internet access.
wget <url of ISO>
sudo dd if=<ISO file> of=/dev/<device name of usb> status=progress
Also there are USB flashing apps for Android, maybe for iOS but I haven’t checked.
Which file is it saying was not found? Can you confirm that it is actually not present on your system?
When I run —debug I looked through it and it gave an error for each database that said directory not found. When I navigate to :
var/lib/pacman/sync
ls -a
returns
core.db.part mhwd.db
database path is looking for
multilib.db
community.db
extra.db
core.db
At
/var/lib/pacman/sync
Try this:
sudo pacman -Syyu
Same issue no such file or directory at those locations listed above.
There’s more errors as well
(Side note) palemoon is incompatible with manjaro forums
I’ll name a couple but I’m working on flashing my drive as you shared above.
But it gave:
error 43 at _alpm_gpgme_checksig missing PGP signature
I’m also seeing multiple errors that look like the following:
core.db: curl returned result 28 from transfer
error: failed retrieving file ‘core.db’ from repo.ialab.dsu.edu
5 different sites returned that error.
if you have any USB iso manjaro
boot with
open a terminal ans a browser on this topic
and returns
inxi -Fza
sudo parted -l
