mirrors may not have needed packages (acl) #3

Looks like an outdated mirror to me (I looked at |
It this is happening with "1/2 dozen mirror", this is not a mirror issue. Can you run this command:
(note the |
And provide the full input command you are using, as well. |
I used the exact command above and it did appear to install. There is a chroot named alarm in usr/local/chroots, but enter-chroot or startxfce4 does not bring up alarm. (other two chroots have names > 'a'). The last few lines in the install process are these: Swapping content of bootstrap and install root... I have the whole log of the install, if you need that, let me know if you'd like it here, or a pastebin link. Thanks. Update: I can enter the chroot with sudo enter-chroot -n alarm, but cannot start xfce with sudo startxfce4 -n alarm, or just sudo startxfce4 (with -n precise, it will start my precise chroot). chronos@localhost /usr/local/chroots $ sudo enter-chroot -n alarm Update2: noticed 'core' in the line you had me input, so perhaps all is working now. If I reinstall and have mirror issues, I will make a note of the exact mirrors and their package errors, and time of day. tip: the way I can tell I'm in arch, is df shows normal linux df output, and home only has /Downloads, while the Ubuntu home directories have various addl. directories (audio/video/pictures/documents). Now, I'm off to get sudo working. Could this be automated at some point? Thanks. Update3: There is no /etc/sudoers file ? |
Can you try to reproduce the mirror issue? You can tell which OS you are in by |
yes, I will delete the chroot and re-install, using your readme notes, and log mirror package errors. The sudo thing is very minor for me, just a note for you, getting root and su, setting passwd are all good as is, but your readme notes on enabling sudo did work last week. |
I commited something that should help with the mirror issue. I think you may have forgotten to put single quotes (') around the mirror URL. The error message is not clear at all in that case. The case where the URL is wrong altogether is not handled either, will find a way. |
Good news is that most of the mirrors that weren't working for me yesterday, are now, I tested the first 5 on this list: http://archlinuxarm.org/about/mirrors and install began fine (no acl package error), and arch mirror status shows all synced, with status page not showing any out of sync ( https://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status/ ). After each install started, I'd cancel within a minute, delete the chroot, and try the next mirror. First error with the acl package was this one: nl.mirror.archlinuxarm.org failed at: 16:56 GMT here's the error I get, and what I'm typing into crosh/shell: chronos@localhost ~/Downloads/drinkcat-chroagh-0c6d70d $ sudo sh -e installer/main.sh arch -t xfce -m 'http://nl.mirror.archlinuxarm.org/armv7h/$repo' | tee arch7.txt unrelated - I believe core made the audio/video groups, but I think xfce gives the error of not making it, though I didn't complete the install. Also, do the many SHILF errors mean anything significant? Thanks. |
OK, I think your patch for the acl package worked or is syncing. I've always used the single quotes with the -m parameter, and in my past experience with arch mirrors, 4 out of 5 is pretty good ;) |
If you always put the single quotes, my patch is useless. So there is some other problem... |
Ok. Latest commit should make errors bright and clear. Would you mind trying with a few different mirrors? It should work in most cases now (or if it fails, it should be clear...) Thanks! |
Yes, I'll keep trying different mirrors and noting which are failing, but right now, it's just nl. I pinged all of the nl mirror sites: Netherlands#Server = http://arch.apt-get.eu/$repo/os/$arch and get no response from the 2nd one (fruk.org - 195.191.16.17), and it is listed as being synced, at least from a few hours ago, so perhaps the round robin procedure for nl.mirror... is broken, or it is a transient thing. Will try other mirrors and post errors here throughout the weekend. Again, most mirrors, and all I've tried in the US, are working, so unless there's something chroagh specific about the acl package / perms / name, it's probably not you, but arch mirrors ... |
I'll keep trying other mirrors, but just now ( 17:56 GMT ) nl.mirror.archlinuxarm.org worked, with your latest chroagh-6c2a7d1, so either your fix worked, or the syncing or transient stuff worked out. Thanks. I'm fine if you want to close this. We can always re-open if it re-appears. chronos@localhost ~/Downloads/drinkcat-chroagh-6c2a7d1 $ sudo sh -e installer/main.sh arch -t xfce -m 'http://nl.mirror.archlinuxarm.org/armv7h/$repo' | tee arch9.txt 100%[===============================>] 49,837 115K/s in 0.4s 2013-06-01 10:54:54 (115 KB/s) - `/tmp/main.sh.nly/core.list' saved [49837/49837] Fetching community... |
ArchLinux and ArchLinux ARM have a different set of mirrors (Archlinux has many more, so don't try those). Only try those listed here: http://archlinuxarm.org/about/mirrors . |
OK, got it. Will be sure to use only the ARM mirrors. Thanks. |
after getting 404 errors (with a partial initial install) with mirrors.archlinuxarm.org I tried specific non round-robin mirrors, and was able to install with ca.us.mirror.archlinuxarm.org with the -m installer option.
Ones that failed, due to the installer not finding package 'acl' were us.mirror..., and va.us.mirror.
xfce and arch are now installed and running after using -m with mirror ca.us.mirror.archlinux.arm
