Trouble installing Olympus on CachyOS | Mt. Celeste Climbing Association | Page 1

I generally avoid using flatpaks whenever possible, I can't figure out how to run the install script (google is giving me NO conclusive answers), and the AUR package failed to install (I use yay for AUR packages, can't verify the validity of the other file it supposedly needs to install or whatever). That said, how am I meant to install Olympus while avoiding the flatpak if I can't make either of the other two options work?

what is it asking me to do with this command???

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 12:45 AM

#

You don't need to download a snapshot. Just git clone

#

A snapshot is when you want to download a different version than the latest

#

Latest is fine so just git clone

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 12:46 AM

#

i have a love/hate relationship with this damned wiki

#

sometimes its very helpful and then other times it actively avoids specifying fucking anything

#

now this is literally just gibberish

#

i can barely understand this section

#

this is wghat i mean there is literally no context to what half of these words are so i cant read it

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 12:49 AM

#

Hold on, I'll type out all the commands for you

#

So it's gonna be like,

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/lua-lsqlite3.git
cd lua-lsqlite3
curl -L -o PKGBUILD.patch https://pastebin.com/raw/7MqumWn0 
git apply PKGBUILD.patch
makepkg -rsi

#

or actually

#

hold on

#

even better:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/lua-lsqlite3.git
cd lua-lsqlite3
curl https://pastebin.com/raw/7MqumWn0 | git apply
makepkg -rsi

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 12:53 AM

#

are those two command strings doing the same thing cos i already ran
curl -L -o PKGBUILD.patch https://pastebin.com/raw/7MqumWn0

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 12:54 AM

#

then just follow the first one it's fine

#

and then after that use yay to install olympus

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 12:58 AM

#

tranquil slate then just follow the first one it's fine

error: patch failed: PKGBUILD:15
error: PKGBUILD: patch does not apply```

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 12:58 AM

#

ugh

#

what happens if you do git apply --verbose PKGBUILD.patch

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 1:00 AM

#

tranquil slate what happens if you do `git apply --verbose PKGBUILD.patch`

its longer but then the last two lines are the exact same error

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 1:01 AM

#

can you cat PKGBUILD

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 1:02 AM

#

tranquil slate can you `cat PKGBUILD`

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 1:02 AM

#

ooh there aint no other way

#

I have no idea why this isn't working, let me test on my machine

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 1:03 AM

#

flatpak? on YOUR arch? it's more likely than you think!!!

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 1:06 AM

#

do git apply --ignore-whitespace

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 1:09 AM

#

well the fact that its not immediately outputting anything is reassuring

#

ok its not doing anything

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 1:12 AM

#

what do you mean it's not doing anything?

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 1:13 AM

#

tranquil slate what do you mean it's not doing anything?

still no output

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 1:14 AM

#

OH haha

#

you have to specify the patch file to use

#

it's PKGBUILD.patch in this case

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 1:15 AM

#

tranquil slate it's `PKGBUILD.patch` in this case

and this goes before the extra instruction correct

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 1:15 AM

#

git apply --ignore-whitespace PKGBUILD.patch

#

replaces the other apply command

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 1:17 AM

#

it just did that is that a good thing

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 1:18 AM

#

yes

#

good thing

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 1:33 AM

#

fucking hell

#

i told yay specifically to ONLY INSTALL olympus

#

and it goes and tries to install the package i JUST INSTALLED anyway

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 1:54 AM

#

maybe do yay -S --needed olympus

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 1:58 AM

#

tranquil slate maybe do `yay -S --needed olympus `

does the same thing yay -S olympus does initially

#

speaking of that command

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 1:58 AM

#

willow sage does the same thing ``yay -S olympus`` does initially

packages to cleanbuild choose NotInstalled?

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 1:59 AM

#

tranquil slate packages to cleanbuild choose NotInstalled?

just does this again

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 2:00 AM

#

reasons I don't like yay

#

you need to skip the checksums

#

but it doesnt give you the option

#

i don't think it's even using the one you just installed

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 2:01 AM

#

amazing application

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 2:01 AM

#

can you pacman -Q lua-sqlite3 just to check it's installed

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 2:01 AM

#

tranquil slate can you `pacman -Q lua-sqlite3` just to check it's installed

i swear to god

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 2:02 AM

#

did you not makepkg -rsi at the end?

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 2:02 AM

#

no

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 2:02 AM

#

did I leave that out of the instructions?

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 2:02 AM

#

yes

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 2:02 AM

#

tranquil slate So it's gonna be like, ```sh git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/lua-lsqlite3.gi...

nope

#

it is there lol

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 2:02 AM

#

oh

#

uh

#

well

#

what then cause ive done a bunch of other stuff in both of those windows

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 2:03 AM

#

as long as you're still in the lua-sqlite3 folder, you can makepkg -rsi

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 2:04 AM

#

ok

#

uh

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 2:04 AM

#

how does this even happen

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 2:04 AM

#

i dont fucking know

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 2:05 AM

#

can you open the file ~/.gitconfig and see if there's something there that says autocrlf=true

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 2:07 AM

#

tranquil slate can you open the file `~/.gitconfig` and see if there's something there that say...

cant find the file

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 2:07 AM

#

then just git config --global core.autocrlf false

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 2:07 AM

#

tranquil slate then just `git config --global core.autocrlf false`

yeah after i did that it still outputs the same error

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 2:08 AM

#

I think this'll require installing a package

#

no idea how this happened or why that defaults to true

#

pacman -S dos2unix
then dos2unix PKGBUILD

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 2:09 AM

#

tranquil slate `pacman -S dos2unix` then `dos2unix PKGBUILD`

what else do i do to that second command because it doesnt do anything

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 2:09 AM

#

define "doesn't do anything"

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 2:09 AM

#

this

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 2:10 AM

#

dos2unix ./PKGBUILD?

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 2:10 AM

#

same thing except "PKGBUILD" is now "./PKGBUILD"

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 2:10 AM

#

are you in the lua-lsqlite3 folder?

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 2:10 AM

#

oh

#

ok

#

its actually working now

#

oh my fucking god

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 2:13 AM

#

leaked pasword

#

password in image

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 2:13 AM

#

???

#

😭

#

my password is clearly actually get it right

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 2:14 AM

#

no your password is In The Image

#

you should probably Delete The Image

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 2:16 AM

#

oh

#

well thats not my root user password but if it says its my password im just going to assume its hashed then

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 2:17 AM

#

oh thank god

#

what is going on because guess what it doesn't work on my computer either

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 2:18 AM

#

the last time the relevant package was updated was like

#

january

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 2:18 AM

#

yeah I requested for an orphan

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 2:18 AM

#

no

#

no

#

april

#

2025

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 2:19 AM

#

oh oh oh I see I see

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 2:19 AM

#

it was marked as out of date in january

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 2:19 AM

#

so it retrieved 0.9.7 but the pkgbuild wants 0.9.6

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 2:19 AM

#

oh

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 2:20 AM

#

wait why

#

oh cause the. the pkgver

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 2:20 AM

#

it has a bunch of dependencies too i think

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 2:20 AM

#

can you open PKGBUILD and change 0.9.6 to 0.9.7... i guess

#

this may break things further but

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 2:21 AM

#

how do i do that

#

i know i said i wanted to avoid using flatpaks but i also said "whenever possible"

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 2:21 AM

#

tis a text file

#

you open it in a text editor

#

or nano

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 2:21 AM

#

this may fall out of the purview of "whenever possible"

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 2:21 AM

#

i just tested it, it works

#

step 1: open file

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 2:22 AM

#

ok yeah i found the line i think

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 2:22 AM

#

save, exit, try makepkg -rsi again

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 2:26 AM

#

no errors :)

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 2:27 AM

#

go back to installing olympus?

willow sage Apr 23, 2026, 2:27 AM

#

yeah

#

it works

#

what a process

#

all because of like

#

some characters and one line of text

#

thanks for your help btw

tranquil slate Apr 23, 2026, 2:28 AM

#

no problem! I'll try to get the AUR package for lua-lsqlite3 back up and running
