[SOLVED] sway not runing

[noble tundra]

After pacman -Syu sway suddenly stopped runing.

[thorn epoch]

Hello, could you please run the following commands and post the results?

pacman -Q mesa libglvnd sway

[noble tundra]

mesa 22.3.3-3
libglvnd 1.6.0-1
sway 1:1.8.1-1

[noble tundra]

It shows this..

[thorn epoch]

Your mesa package is severely out of date.

The latest version from repo is 23.1.4-2

[noble tundra]

Still the same error

[thorn epoch]

Please ensure that you have not partially updated your system.

And check if the mesa is in the IgnorePkgs list

[noble tundra]

I don't remember doing pacman -Sy, perhaps I have done that

[thorn epoch]

Can you please post the ouput of

grep 'IgnorePkg\|IgnoreGroup' /etc/pacman.conf

[noble tundra]

Btw waybar shows this

So I think prob is with libicuuc

[thorn epoch]

Please perform a full system upgrade and rebuild any outdated aur packages if you have any installed.

[noble tundra]

I have done that 2 hours ago.

Should I do again?

[thorn epoch]

Your system behaviour and package version are inconsistent with this statement.

Can Sway now be started without errors?

[noble tundra]

I think there is some major issue going on. When I previously used yay command, It downloaded and installed same this size. Why again?

Same happens sometimes with pacman

[noble tundra]

No

[noble tundra]

Also Idk why mesa package didn't upgraded when I prevoously used pacman -Syu

[thorn epoch]

It downloaded and installed the same size
I don't understand this part, can you explain it to me?

[noble tundra]

These are same as before

Also I keep getting these again and again.

[thorn epoch]

These are same as before
By same as before, do you mean that every time you run pamcan or yay command to update the system, it gives eactly the same output as you have demonstrated this this picture?

[noble tundra]

Yes

[noble tundra]

Should I clean cache and reinstall everything again?

Or is there any faster solution.

[thorn epoch]

What is your current mirror?

[noble tundra]

I'm sorry, idk what you mean by mirror?

[thorn epoch]

Sorry for the confusion, could you please post the output of

pacman -Sp bcc

[noble tundra]

This..

[thorn epoch]

The mirror is where the packages from the archlinux repository are stored. They are independently maintained and synchronised with the archlinux package archives. Some mirrors may be behind, so we will first need to verify that the mirror pacman is using is not out of sync.

[thorn epoch]

This mirror stephen304 is not on the official archlinux mirror list. Therefore it's status cannot be verified by https://archlinux.org/mirrors/status/. Are you sure this mirror is up-to-date?

[noble tundra]

I have never done anything related to mirrors.

[noble tundra]

I have this since I installed arch linux

Using the arch install script

[woven quail]

isn't this a keyring issue?

can you try -S archlinux-keyring

... isokeyring

[shadow ledge]

#9309 📣 If you are struggling to run archinstall or pacstrap, the first set of things to do is:

rm -rf /etc/pacman.d/gnupg
pacman-key --init 
pacman-key --populate
pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring```

And if that fails, do:
```pacman-key --refresh-keys
pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring```


If refresh keys takes more than a minute just hit ctrl + c and continue, it likely has still worked.

It is not recommended to do the following as you become at risk of installing malicious packages:
```edit pacman.conf
and change the SigLevel to Never in pacman.conf```

[woven quail]

these are for when people's keyring fails in the ISO (not chroot) but you might want to try in live environment if you can't get the keyring working

arch is rolling release, and designed to be updated on a regular basis

https://archlinux.org/mirrorlist/
You also might want to replace /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[thorn epoch]

And if the above solution does not work, please consider using one of the successfully synced mirrors from this list: https://archlinux.org/mirrors/status/ and repeat the above solution.

[noble tundra]

So first I need to do the keyring thing which @woven quail has mentioned and then change the mirror kist

[woven quail]

I'd probably do the mirror list thing first

if you have reflector installed and configured you can just run your reflector service instead

[noble tundra]

I don't have it configured before, installing now

[woven quail]

.aw reflector

[shadow ledge]

Arch Wiki: Reflector

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Reflector

[woven quail]

that shows you how to configure it

[noble tundra]

Do you know reason for this?

I only did pacman -S reflector

[woven quail]

did it manager to install?

[noble tundra]

Yes

[thorn epoch]

I suggest you manually switch to an up-to-date mirror first.

The current mirror with the highest score is https://mirror.osbeck.com/archlinux, it uses couldflare as its CDN, thus should have reasonable speed overall.

You can switch to it temporarily with this command

 printf '%s\n%s\n' 'Server = https://mirror.osbeck.com/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch' "$(cat /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist)"| /bin/sudo tee /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist > /dev/null

[noble tundra]

Done!!!!

[woven quail]

keyring working then?

[noble tundra]

Finally, Everything works, thanks a lot @woven quail @thorn epoch You guys are

[spare orbit]

vegancookies, and Senatvs Popvlvsque Romanvs received a thank you cookie!

[noble tundra]

[SOLVED] sway not runing

[woven quail]

You’ve run a full -Syuu?

[noble tundra]

Yes

[noble tundra]

.

[woven quail]

Awesome, please make sure you configure your reflector conf file

And then start the reflector service once you have

And then run a final -Syuu followed by updating any aur packages
