cannot build the iso

[Preetam-Das]

mkarchiso fails with the following errors:

error: config file /etc/pacman.d/chaotic-mirrorlist could not be read: No such file or directory
error parsing '/home/pree/Repos/aerOS/archlive/pacman.conf'
error: config file /etc/pacman.d/chaotic-mirrorlist could not be read: No such file or directory

error: no usable package repositories configured.
==> ERROR: Failed to install packages to new root

It looks like those files are missing, Try to clone https://github.com/hewol/aerOS.git then try to build again and see if it works or not, It looks like the pacman.conf aka the pacman config file is missing...

[XanuduBuster]

Also I forgot to mention you need to copy the chaotic-mirrorlist file to /etc/pacman.d/ Note: Only you need to copy the file, you don't need to do much after copying that file and cloning the latest git it should build just fine. If this worked let me know!

[Preetam-Das]

@XanuduBuster I cloned the latest git, although chaotic-mirrorlist was already there in /etc/pacman.d/ but i still copied it. But no good it fails with the same errors.

[XanuduBuster]

Is it in your system root?

[XanuduBuster]

@Preetam-Das I dont have any issues, i just copied the chaotic-mirrorlist to my system root drive /etc/pacman.d/ and it starts building.

[Preetam-Das]

@XanuduBuster at first i did not then i thought might as well put it there, but it does not work. Maybe i should put it in my pacman.conf too?

[XanuduBuster]

@Preetam-Das Maybe you need to put chaotic-aur config in pacman.conf... also send me logs as well so that I can investigate this.

[Preetam-Das]

@XanuduBuster tried that too added chaotic-aur. Ran pacman -Sy it recognises chaotic-aur but build still fails. here logs

[XanuduBuster]

@Preetam-Das this time it says no usable repositories is configured... I will have to ask @Debarka-Kundu to fix these issue...

[debarkak]

@Preetam-Das @XanuduBuster there is some errors, its also not working for me

==> ERROR: Failed to install packages to new root

[debarkak]

@Preetam-Das Now I fixed some errors, now delete all previous project files (except the chaotic-mirrorlist) in the root pacman.d and again clone by running this git clone https://github.com/hewol/aerOS.git and see if it works or not, or just download our latest release https://github.com/hewol/aerOS/releases/tag/v1-early-beta.

[Preetam-Das]

@Debarka-Kundu no worky :(

[debarkak]

@Preetam-Das It's working for me

[debarkak]

@Preetam-Das send logs please

[debarkak]

@Preetam-Das its working for me, so what's wrong?

[XanuduBuster]

@Preetam-Das It could be permission issues... That's why its not working...

[XanuduBuster]

@Preetam-Das This issue will be closed as its inactive for 2 weeks now... You can open this issue again at any time...
