#[solved]Trouble Installing Cloudflare Warp
oblique hedge
I've been looking around and some people are saying it''s to do with repository title or something with them changing a name of a repo etc. I'm very new to mint/
just to clarify, first issue is the "skipping aquisition" line, second is the "unable to locate package" line

hey man 🙂
unfortunatly I moved to CachyOS a while ago, so I don't really know, I also have no idea what cloudflare-warp is 😄
ah its some sort of free VPN, u see in CachyOS (Arch distro) I would do yay -S cloud and at the end I would hit tab and it would show me what packages there was on the repo's
seems it would be cloudflare-warp-bin for me and it would just pull it from repo and install
oblique hedge
yeah i think the repo name is wrong/changed or something but the doccumentation is a little un-beginner friendly
My repos
half peak
well you also have a package manager right? where u can search?
terminal isnt rly an easy place for noobs like us 🙂
I was only in Mint for about a month, maybe less, nvidia user so wanted a more "bleeding edge" distro, its all kinda foggy now on how to use Mint
but im sure there is a GUI package manager where you should be able to search for WARP
you could also read through https://github.com/Sadab/WARP?tab=readme-ov-file#installation
oh maybe thats the wrong thing :p
oblique hedge
nah, im trying to learn terminal haha, it has a software manager but it's not available on it
it seems like i have to set up the repo then get the package, but it's not working 😂
half peak
😒
idk man, I'd hate to give u wrong instructions and break stuff, I prefer to only break my own things :p
oblique hedge
I'll give it an hour and see if anyone replies who's more familliar with MINT then look at that
[UNSOLVED]

Ye, a lot of helpful ppl in ere that know way more than me 🙂

i386 is 32-bit
oblique hedge
oh i should not be on 32bit
fresh gale
Your system probably isn't
But it can still try to fetch/add 32-bit binaries if for example you installed Steam
oblique hedge
ah gotcha
fresh gale
I do not think that is the root of your actual problem though
oblique hedge
no it initially couldn't locate the package, for apt-get install, and update returns the line about skipping the aquisition
fresh gale
The acquisition error is to do with that but I am not convinced is the cause of the problem
Maybe it is
fresh gale
I am guessing you followed the instructions here: https://pkg.cloudflareclient.com/#ubuntu
oblique hedge
yeah for deb
fresh gale
For Debian?
oblique hedge
Should i be following ubuntus?
fresh gale
If you are on the core Mint release and not LMDE, yes.
oblique hedge
ah fair enough, that could be one reason why hahaha
fresh gale
I would remove the PPA and the key in software sources and retry
oblique hedge
there's nothing in the PPA section, but i'll get rid of the source & give the ubuntu ones a go
fresh gale
Of course
oblique hedge
this is what i was trying to solve initially i think, the version name is wrong
i found the solution to that i believe let me check my history
fresh gale
Yeah, that should say jammy
fresh gale
Or follow their jammy instructions yes
That removes the auto-try to get the release name
oblique hedge
no, these are i think
that might be what fked me up
so, same but with THIS jammy 😂
fresh gale
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/cloudflare-warp-archive-keyring.gpg] https://pkg.cloudflareclient.com/ $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cloudflare-client.list
That $lsb_release bit was the issue
oblique hedge
so, gpg key, ^ that, install
fresh gale
Yes, except instead of $lsb release blahblah
You put jammy
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/cloudflare-warp-archive-keyring.gpg] https://pkg.cloudflareclient.com/ jammy main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cloudflare-client.list
Like so
fresh gale
So warp client has installed now?
oblique hedge
it is indeed
fresh gale
Tasty
oblique hedge
i will now attempt to set it up
