Re: archinstall is broken on latest iso

This looks more like not-up-todate keys, try a `pacman-key --refresh` before calling `archinstall`..

Re: archinstall is broken on latest iso

Mmh. Actually it seems that them pacman-init.service is not starting up because the keyring is missing. After a `pacman-key --init` it should start. The pacman-init.service has to have finished before you start archinstall. pacman-init can take a LONG (TM) time to update the keys.

Re: archinstall is broken on latest iso

removing /etc/pacman.d/gnupg, pacman-key --init, pacman-key --populate archlinux32 should be enough..

For some annoying reason it wont let me

sudo rm -rf /etc/pacman.d/gnupg
rm: cannot remove '/etc/pacman.d/gnupg': Device or resource busy

Seems to run into this issue

Re: archinstall is broken on latest iso

Make sure you kill all dirmgr and gpg-agent process before remove and recreating the keys..

Re: archinstall is broken on latest iso

I tried archinstalll on the live cd and it worked properly this time and install it but the second time I went to try the live CD it's all broken again.. I did manage it get it working going through the stuff you guys talked about but it would be nice if these stuff were done properly and I didn't have to fight with it to work tongue

The images really need to be fixed as they are unusable and broken, I can even install packages at times.

Re: archinstall is broken on latest iso

Yeah, we have a constant schedule of building ISOs monthly, sometimes keys expire before..
..speaking of which, the 2023.01 ISOs are due. :-)

Hmm I See, it sadly still seems to be an issue, updating archinstall on the live cd instant seems to be the only way to fix it tho it is annoying that you have to do that every time
