Please follow the Standard Litany when asking a question:
• What was your environment? What was your operating system, configuration?
• What did you do? What did you run or test? Where?
• What actually happened? What were the exact results, complete log contents, exact error messages?
• What did you expect? What were you aiming to achieve? What result were you looking for?

Vague or superficial questions will yield vague or superficial answers. False information leads to false solutions.

Environment - Arch installer iso

Trying to install literally any package with pacman.

Pacman throws an error saying "public keyring is not writeable"

Expected - pacman to install packages.

#

This is what happenes after running pacman-key --init

#

this is the latest arch iso

I mean if you typed "n" it will probably fix your issue but I can see why you wouldn't want to do so

spiral spoke
#

it didn't

#

I just disabled pgp key checking as of now

#

(i really don't care)

#

I just need a usable system

violet quest
spiral spoke
#

after I disabled it, no

#

imma try running archinstall now

violet quest
#

before you disabled but after you said "n"

spiral spoke
#

what

#

when you disable pgp checking it doesn't give you that prompt

violet quest

they most likely are unable to run pacstrap

Try this

#

mount -o remount,size=2G /run/archiso/cowspace
This command makes it so changes with pacman in archiso are writable (to RAM).

spiral spoke
#

Issue resolved

#

I just needed to make it so pacman doesn't verify packages

flat coyote
#

Oh

#

Not the greatest workaround

spiral spoke
#

yeah well

#

otherwise i wouldnt have had a useable system

#

works now

#

pacman said something about archlinux-keyring not being writable so that's where my first response came in

spiral spoke
#

yeah

#

it was something weird with it

#

so i just made pacman not care about it troll

woven stirrup
#

but well, seems like you solved it.

worldly terrace
#

well you should be able to

spiral spoke
#

also i don't see why you cant install packages into a live environment

#

Again this is where cowspace is important

spiral spoke
#

#

lune you're supposed to be able to install packages to it

#

just not that many

spiral spoke

#

the keyring is most likely because it's the end of the month and the ISO's keyring is outdated

i would rather have a system that has a very rare chance to have malware in it rather than not have a system at all

#

did this even happen on your installed system?

spiral spoke
#

i have never once gotten malware on my machine

woven stirrup
flat coyote
#

And it's low risk already

spiral spoke
#

exactly

woven stirrup
#

now I think making a snapshot of the system would be good

spiral spoke
#

the check was off for 5 minutes. nobody is snooping on my network to try and get access

#

i have nothing of value troll

woven stirrup

... solved
