Hi!

I just installed obarun on a fresh machine yesterday and customized the openbox keys, tint2 and wallpaper. Even the sound was working fine out the box. I consider myself a noob btw.


Now I have a problem:

Firstly I opened up pacman.conf and activated multilib (32bit) and added the repo.archlinux.fr for aur.
Then I typed
sudo pacman -Syu
for the first time, to my surprise there was no activated mirror for the arch repos. I went to the mirrorlist and activated a few, all of them update now fine...Expect the obarun repo, i get errors like:

obarun signature from Eric Vival is unknown trust, failed  to update obarun (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature)
typing
sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys
didn't help. Also the sound after a restart stopped working. volumeicon now is always muted and can't get activated, before it worked fine and I used alsamixer to adjust the volume.


Best regards

Nic

Two reason for that can be possible :
first you didn't update the obarun-install script when it asked you.
second you updated it but you didn't restarted it.
all of them update now fine...Expect the obarun repo, i get errors like:
This is weird, mostly on fresh installation. You are the first reporting me this kind of trouble(if i remember well).
So the package obarun-keyring need to be installed, verify if it's the case for you.
may be you can try to populate it again(this is should be done by the installation of obarun-keyring package) 
# pacman-key --populate obarun
Also the sound after a restart stopped working. volumeicon now is always muted and can't get activated, before it worked fine and I used alsamixer to adjust the volume.
weird too, what's happen if you try to launch alsamixer from a terminal?
ooh, maybe launch asoundconf-gtk and choose your card, this will automaticaly generate a ~/.asoundrc and ~/.asoundrc.asoundconf file.

I updated the obarun-install script but I didnt manually restart, as I thought it would make that on its own. Or did you mean reboot?

I saw with 
pacman -Qi obarun-keyring
that it is installed and the populate command worked fine, thx alot! It now says obarun is up to date. I tried to refresh the keys once again (mistake?) and it says there are 225 keys missing and 32 keys missing etc. (O_o)

When I 
sudo pacman -Syu
all repos are up to date and it downloads some packages (gcc, gcc-libs, linux firmware, etc.)
It downloads the packages and then it says for example--> package from van de groot is unknown trust
and do I want to delete the package because it is corrupted (O_o) well I deleted all of them, everything was corrupt.

From a terminal? you mean with xterm? (haven't installed terminator). I try to start it without xterm firstly just with clicking and it didn't work. Also I want to mention that on a fresh install when i clicked "spacefm root" in the openbox menu, the whole session freezed! but open it up with xterm "sudo spacefm" works without problems. launching asoundconf-gtk and using pulseaudio didn't solve the problem. there is also a gtk problem with "adwaita". Will this https://askubuntu.com/questions/774664/gtk-warning-unable-to-locate-theme-engine-in-module-path-adwaita-error-o maybe solve it?

I have the feeling that something went very very wrong in the installation lol
There is also a "Lost+Found" Folder, no idea why.

I burned the iso file with rufus as mbr as dd on a usb stick, then I followed this guide from 8:11-25:45(before he installs the basesystem) to prepare my system for the obarun installation. (Though I made a separate Home partition and game partition(full nvme for that), and also formated the boot partition as ext2 not fat32 for syslinux).

Should I just reinstall it?

Best regards

Nic
@ Or did you mean reboot?
no reboot, just exit from the script and restart it again.

@ From a terminal? you mean with xterm? (haven't installed terminator)
terminal means : xterm, terminator, tilda, lxterminal...
How you cannot have terminator. If you have installed with the openbox templates, terminator is installed by default

@ then I followed this guide from 8:11-25:45(before he installs the basesystem)
which guide did you followed?

@ There is also a "Lost+Found" Folder,
linux system,this is normal.

@ using pulseaudio didn't solve the problem
no pulseaudio installed by default, if you want to use it you need to install it

@ Will this https://askubuntu.com/questions/774664/ … ta-error-o maybe solve it?
maybe, you can try

@ I have the feeling that something went very very wrong in the installation lol
Surely, a lot of your trouble shouldn't be exist. i don't know which guide you followed but if you make partition correctly, mount it correctly, obarun-install make the stuff for you. If you do not want pre configured desktop you can pick the minimal templates and install what do you want.

@ Should I just reinstall it?
seems a good idea
6 days later
Hey Eric, sorry was a bit busy

Will install again tonight

@ no reboot, just exit from the script and restart it again.
Ok cool I will do that this time. Any chance you can put that in the script, so that you don't have to do it manually?

@ Terminal means: xterm, terminator, tilda....
Ok nice got it. I kicked out terminator, because there is also xterm, so I thought that would be enough. But now I understand that Openbox will try to find Terminator to open up space fm etc. So definately will install that now (Maybe you could give a warning in the installation script, that certain functions will need terminator)

@ Which guide did you follow? (8:11-25:45)
Sorry I forgot to post the link lol sorry

I also kicked out mc, hexchat, midori and parole. I guess only Terminator causes some problems with Openbox when not installing.

@ no pulseaudio installed by default, if you want to use ti you need to install it
Interesting because the default option was an empty text and I could choose Pulseaudio in that drop down menu(even when it wasn't installed). Let's see what happens with fresh install.

Will post again in a few hours. Thanks for your quick response and thx for making Obarun.

Eric!

All basic repos are up do date! Pacman -Syu was successful! Restarted the Installer as you told me this time. Got a new background as well?! Big Raindrop :) Fell asleep behind the pc lol

This time got terminator installed but when I click on "Spacefm Root" in the Openbox menü...still the whole session freezes and I have to go to another terminal alt ctrl f2... seems all the other terminals are out of service or something is running on them O_o

Is this intended?

I kicked out Mc, parole or midori during installation. That shouldn't be a problem yeah?

Cheers

Nic

Not expected and got the trouble, i changed the file /etc/sudoers and i forgot that this menu call for sudo to execute e.g spacefm without asking for password; well bad configuration here, my fault.
If you change your /etc/sudoers and uncomment this line 
%wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
, the trouble should go away.
So i need to make rectification about that, MANY thanks for this remarks

EDIT : done on the obarun-install-themes master git branch. Gksu was added to provide a graphical frontend for sudo. https://github.com/Obarun/obarun-install-themes/commit/270db1a993e3fd10d66c45523af6f1d8d6bebc58
