Question

hi there iv been trying to install athena os (Arch) but it keeps failing with a few errors such as athena os-release file not found no such file or directory and (error: blackarch: signature from 'Levon 'noptrix' Kayan (BlackArch Developer)) is there a solution to these errors?

Hello. athena-os-release error is not a real error. it is not blocking. About BlackArch key, you are using an old ISO. Download the new beta one: https://athenaos.org/

Actually there is an error in aegis code (https://github.com/Athena-OS/aegis/blob/main/aegis-arch/src/functions/base.rs line 227) - the source file should be /usr/lib/os-release-athena , not /mnt/usr/lib/os-release-athena

@MishchenkoA in theory it is not an error. In practice athena-config should install os-release-athena in the mounted partition, then, this file is copied to os-release.

@D3vil0p3r no man, on practice fighting with installer right now - it is broken at all) Have you tried use it after updates? After antenna-config will install the os-release on mounted partition - it will not create os-release-athena, only os-release. The same situation with a lot of other files. Sometimes you need copy all the folder from parent to mounted partition to bypass error (like /usr/share/applications to /mnt/usr/......), sometimes installer is trying to copy the files which were not created and so on. Please try install it on clear VM, you will see. For regular user it is not impossible to install and test it. TBH - the distro is great but installer has a lot of bugs ATM, at least for arch. And I do not understand logic when you choose cop

@MishchenkoA about athena-config look its PKGBUILD and you see:

cp -rf "${srcdir}/usr/lib/os-release-athena" "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/"

It means that it installs os-release-athena only. It is installed in /mnt because all packages are installed in /mnt by Aegis. The file os-release is just created by Aegis installer as copy of the first file..

About the errors, just ignore the exit code 0 errors, because code 0 means successful. Only exit code 1 are real errors. If your installation interrupts because an error, please share your logs with me by the links produced by:

install-logs
config-logs

These commands are available only if you downloaded the ISO today.

Until this morning I needed to upload the new ISO due to a dropped package that caused install failing.
