Error setting up Blend OS v4 Alpha
So I I am attempting to run through the steps that @ﾑ丂ｲ乇尺ﾉ丂ズ wrote for setting up Blend and I ran into an error at the final Akshara update.
(2/2) Arming ConditionNeedsUpdate...

~~~~~^^^^^^^^
KeyError: 'repo'
I am using a system yaml based off of ico277 in a Gnome Box.
Did I miss a step? Thanks for taking the time

Something may be wrong with the mirror reflector chose
So clear cache, try again, and hope it chooses a different mirror? Or can I specify a preferred mirror?
yea basically
if you want to override the mirror you'd have to edit akshara itself
though this mirror seems to work for me
@Bushwil can you send your system.yaml here?
Sorry for the delay @ﾑ丂ｲ乇尺ﾉ丂ズ
you're missing this at the top:
add tat in and update akshara
That makes the error make since now😕 🫢 😀 😃
what
you can't see it here because I copied the text instead of screenshot but the carets are highlighting the ['repo'] in the Server variable and the system called it a KeyError. So that is probably because 'repo' is not defined or null when it was looking for a value.
I forgot, the
repo: url should be in single quotes
edited my messageCaught the change, got further but still failed. This time it looped or retried for a long time then error-ed out due to a ton of un-trusted keys, however when I tried to run a keyring update it cannot lock the database. And I am getting a lot of that throughout the VM
Is the breakfast repo’s siglevel set to Never?
Yes, Do you think it might be related the system unable to lock a database?
there's no immutability
I don't think
if the pacman lock is giving you errors you can remove it if no other pacman instances are running
Thanks, It is pacman problem, got it let me go find Mrs. Pacman to fix him up, and I'll try again

Ok, the Monsters got pacman. So I started fresh with the same System.yaml, but this time it error-ed way further down. with akshara
line 298, in update_system return_val=exec_chroot
Sorry for the huge screenshot.
So should I open an issue on the repo? @ﾑ丂ｲ乇尺ﾉ丂ズ
Yes
Looks like it matches this issue: https://github.com/blend-os/akshara/issues/2

Errors in blend OS 4 alpha · Issue #2 · blend-os/akshara
Hi, I am trying to use blend OS 4 with the gnome track but it's not working. I AM stuck at sudo mkinitcpio -P; sudo akshara update. After downloading and installing all packages it gives error ...
commented
we moved akshara's source code off github
Oh, good to know, I do not have an account there, but I am still going to add and aur package just to see if that moves me to a different error
Hi @ﾑ丂ｲ乇尺ﾉ丂ズ That got me through the setup, but still gave me unuse-able containers, but that might be related to the spice agent not in my package list. I think I have enough space to run through the process once more. Do you guys want any logs or anything from these attempts?
Sure
Put them here or on pastebin or something
Do I just search for all log files or specific locations?
all
get akshara's journal
FYI: @ﾑ丂ｲ乇尺ﾉ丂ズ failed after updating the locales
