during my update process, i was able to execute the pacman -Syu and suddenly my laptop turn off. after powering on and execute again the pacman -Syu an error occur.
here is the error
sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed to init transaction (unable to lock database)
if you're sure a package manager is not already
running, you can remove /var/lib/pacman/db.lck
pls help
Hi,
here is the solution to your problem.
remove the db.lck
sudo rm -fr /var/lib/pacman/db.lck
then try to update and it works.
This has fixed the current problem, however desktop.db.tar.gz cannot be found at kahel.com. Which affects gtkpacman.
@whitetiger:
Please be patient. KahelOs repositiory is going to be up early January 2010... that is where the error is coming from.
If this is bothering you, you may want to disable kaheldesktop on your /etc/pacman.conf by putting # sign in the meantime,
#[kaheldesktop]
#Server = http://www.kahelos.org/kaheldesktop/i686
Then enable the same when our repo goes live this January 2010.
I see. I've been told I have the patience of a Saint. So I guess it's time to find out. There is no time like the present!
