Arch Linux

From iFixWiki

Arch linux is a great operating system. Using it grants you the privilege of saying "I use Arch, btw".

Issues[edit]

Signature from "David Runge <dvzrv@archlinux.org>" is marginal trust[edit]

When attempting to update the system, there may be a prompt to add/update a signature. This can fail which results in the following errors:

  error: zsh-completions: signature from "David Runge <dvzrv@archlinux.org>" is marginal trust
  error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature))
  Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Solution

Update the keyring prior to updating the system.[1]

  $ sudo pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring

Wine makepkg FAILED (unknown public key CEFAC8EAAF17519D)[edit]

Solution

You need to import the public key for it to work.

  $ gpg --receive-keys CEFAC8EAAF17519D

  $ modprobe vboxdrv

Results in the following error:

  modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'vboxdrv': Operation not permitted

Solution

Run the command as sudo.

  $ sudo modprobe vboxdrv
