Arch PGP not be verified

Hello guys! I have done a fresh install of Arch Linux with KDE. The first thing to do was downloading Librewolf but there is an issue. I used an installation way that is without an AUR helper. And the package named librewolf-bin. System updated, git command executed, changed directory to librewolf-bin, executed the makepkg -si....

lemmyreader,

When I was creating the bootable media for install it, I downloaded the .iso and .iso.sig from any mirror that is near. I followed the things about verification of .iso but I got some errors and gave up.

There’s two different things. The checksum and the GnuPG signature. If you used the GnuPG method to check the signature I can imagine you got a warning because of the GnuPG key owner trust and that’s actually expected behavior and should not worry you. Normally when you exchange GnuPG keys with a person in real life, you can compare key fingerprints and after that you would set the owner trust yourself for their key, but with downloaded iso images this is a different use case though if you really want you can set the owner trust to make the warning go away.

Partial upgrade to xubuntu 24.04 from 23.10, FS only accessible in recovery mode as root + wifi may be down. Help appreciated

before the issue, wifi app was configured not to start automatically because I sometimes change the mac after logging in. I usually enable it afterwards with iftop and then systemctl start NetworkManager.service && sudo nm-applet...

lemmyreader,

How about booting from Linux live medium (For example Ubuntu installation iso on pen drive, and choose Try without installing) and from there see if you can get to your home files.

lemmyreader,

wifi app was configured not to start automatically

With nmtui (or nmcli) you can activate WiFi connection.

I can cd to media and to my home directory, but this last directory appears as empty.

Does mount /home improve that ?

lemmyreader,

Can’t import the keys.

You mean the one mentioned in the Pinned Comments for librewolf-bin in AUR ?

lemmyreader,

Nice. For folks who wouldn’t need a lot of storage space I guess this could make a nice rather low budget Libreboot computer.

lemmyreader,

Small breakthrough: I booted the system without problems to tty1 (I believe this is called single user mode), logged in as an old user and now I can see all my data, logged in as old me.

Nice.

Do you still recommend to backup from live usb and upgrade from there?

I would backup from live usb and then when that is done stop using the live usb, reboot and try to upgrade via the recovery mode.

lemmyreader,

Some other contributors suggest I use a live usb, not installing the OS but using the live usb with working wlan to complete the installation, but this seems to be more complicated than working directly from initramfs.

My suggestion was to use live usb to find your /home files. Indeed using live usb and then using chroot to complete the upgrade from 23.10 to 24.04 is maybe more difficult (As /dev and /proc and /sys need to get mounted with the chroot). If I were you I would first find your /home files and make a backup and after that proceed with upgrading.

lemmyreader,

Maybe inspired by Microsoft’s Linux :

CBL-Mariner is an internal Linux distribution for Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure

lemmyreader,

I purged the broken package with sudo dpkg -P libfreerdp2-2 and immediately afterwards I executed sudo apt get upgrade.

Cool.

how do I enable wlan as root from initramfs?

I’d run nmtui and then use the <TAB> key to navigate between the items and go for “Activate” to enable your WiFi connection. It will show no pop up or something when it successfully activates the connection. I think it will just show a * sign next to the connection item. When that is done use <TAB> to navigate out of nmtui and test your connection.

lemmyreader,

sudo apt install libfreerdp2-2

Can you try purging the broken package ? : sudo dpkg -P libfreerdp2-2

lemmyreader,

Does the command pipx install tkcalendar give errors ?

lemmyreader,

Hmm. I see that the software is about five years old. The last comment in this thread is maybe useful ? github.com/j4321/tkcalendar/issues/79

lemmyreader,

An alternative is to use pipx : pipx.pypa.io/stable

Overview: What is pipx?

pipx is a tool to help you install and run end-user applications written in Python. It’s roughly similar to macOS’s brew, JavaScript’s npx, and Linux’s apt.

It’s closely related to pip. In fact, it uses pip, but is focused on installing and managing Python packages that can be run from the command line directly as applications. How is it Different from pip?

pip is a general-purpose package installer for both libraries and apps with no environment isolation. pipx is made specifically for application installation, as it adds isolation yet still makes the apps available in your shell: pipx creates an isolated environment for each application and its associated packages.

pipx does not ship with pip, but installing it is often an important part of bootstrapping your system.

my terminal on ubuntu 23.04 shows files already purged and cannot upgrade, what do I do now?

Upgrading from ubuntu 23.10 to 24.04 I found a broken package: libfreerdp2-2. This package is not in var/lib/dpkg/info, but terminal insists it is. I’ve tried purging it, removing it, apt --fix-broken install, but it always goes back to Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)...

lemmyreader, (edited )

In this case I would download the deb from here (Click on Mantic, and scroll down to files and find your architecture you use and download the file : packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libfreerdp2 and install it with dpkg -i If that installs successfully then continue your upgrade attempt.
