As I had the same problem, I tried this and it resolved the problem for me.

When I run "toxic" from the package "toxic-git", I get

toxic: error while loading shared libraries: libvpx.so.1: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

I guess the package needs rebuilding to link to libvpx.

"toxic-git" is in the pcr.

If you're running into this error while trying to refresh the keys in  
order to troubleshoot 'pacman -Syu' update errors, just log in as root and  
run the command below to fix:

Yes, many our users are the type of people who get annoyed by the
system being configured to do things they didn't ask it to do.  I
often describe Parabola to people as "not configured by default."
Anything you want it to do, you have to configure that yourself.  If
you want a user other than root, you need to run `useradd`, if you
want it to have X11, you have to install that.  It offers full
flexibility to the user.  Of course that's not for everybody, most
computer users don't want to have to configure X11 or automounting.
But the users that Parabola targets like to know how their system
works, and exactly how it is configured.  Many of us previously got
fed up fighting the default configurations provided by more "user
friendly" distros, and realized that we'd rather just do it ourselves.

If that's not for you, I recommend Trisquel <http://trisquel.info/>,
another one of the FSF-endorsed 100% free distributions.

The Parabola graphical CD is a little deceptive--it won't give you an
install that is like the CD.  The install process is still the same as
with the non-graphical CD, and the basic install will still be
non-graphical until you set up the graphics.

Sure there is, there's 'gtkpacman' from the [pcr] repository (I don't
recall if [pcr] is enabled by default or not--just uncomment it in
/etc/pacman.conf).

Hi,

I'm installing parabola and in this step:

pacman -Sy parabola-keyring
pacman-key --populate parabola

I get:

ERROR: 66490C1[.....]D2 could not be locally signed

and  pacman-key --refresh-keys complains:

==> ERROR: A specified local key could not be updated from a keyserver


What can I do?
Thanks,

The same happens with live cd. I suppose the fault is from kernel.

Hi,

I follow the migration guide, partial migration section.

In this step:

% cd ~/abslibre/libre/your-freedom
% makepkg
% sudo pacman -U ./your-freedom-YYYYMMDD-X-any.pkg.tar.xz

I received that librelib is missing but no mention to that in the migration guide.

Can you correct the wiki?

Just update the keys before installing. This would be temporary since
you would be running from the ISO, so if you reboot before installing,
you'll have to do it again. It won't be needed in the newly installed
system, at least not immediately; usually, it's not a problem on
working/updated systems.

See https://wiki.parabola.nu/Installation_Guide#Verification_of_package
_signatures

Given the experience I had with changed keys, I would also update the
keys from Arch, which are in the archlinux-keyring package.

>From time to time, depending on the ISO available for installation, if
it's not the latest for various reasons, I would do a full upgrade of
the live system before even trying to install on new media, to avoid
any other problems related to the contents of the ISO itself.

Thanks for the explanation and tips.

Nevertheless I think this issue merits attention from the devs. It's going  
to stop newcomers to Parabola GNU/Linux in their tracks and thus serve as  
a barrier to adoption.

It will load far enough to get to the initial menu. After selecting the  
first menu option "Boot Parabola GNU/Linux-libre (x86_64)" the boot fails  
shortly thereafter with the error:

"Waiting 30 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-label/PARA_201505 ...
ERROR: '/dev/disk/by-label/PARA_201505' device did not show up after 30  
seconds...
    Falling back to interactive prompt

Manual inspection of /dev/disk with ls command only shows by-id and  
by-uuid subdirs present.

Also, if there's an iPXE kernel image netbook installer available for  
Parabola that would be helpful.

Subject: [Assist] script for automating install of basic Parabola GNU/Linux
Message-ID: <op.x0x4u2cdbgbjo9@work-pc.lan>

I created this crude script to bootstrap a very basic Parabola system for  
later configuration with Ansible. Maybe someone else will find it useful.

Preparatory steps on target system:
-----------------------------------
Connect LAN port to network (assumes DHCP available)
Boot system to installer
Start SSHD -

   systemctl start sshd

Assign root account password -

   passwd


Do this from yer workstation:
-----------------------------
Copy an SSH key to target -

   cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub  | ssh root@<hostname-or-ip-address> 'mkdir .ssh;  
cat > .ssh/authorized_keys'

Fire off the script -

   ssh root@<hostname-or-ip-address> 'bash -s' < parabola-install.sh


The script: (save as parabola-install.sh)
-----------
# unmount /mnt just in case you're re-running the script
umount /mnt
# fix all the key signing nonsense
pacman -Sy --noconfirm parabola-keyring archlinux-keyring
pacman-key --populate parabola archlinux
dirmngr </dev/null
pacman-key --refresh-keys
# format the entire disk 'sda' with a partitionless btrfs volume
mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sda
# mount btrfs volume with lzo compression
mount -o compress=lzo /dev/sda /mnt
# disable copy on write for the log file dir
mkdir -p /mnt/var/log && chattr +C /mnt/var/log
# install the base system
pacstrap /mnt base
# generate an fstab with UUIDs
genfstab -U -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
# copy resolv.conf file into the chroot system
cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/etc/
# chroot into the newly installed system:
arch-chroot /mnt
# set hostname
echo "change-me.tld" >> /etc/hostname
# set time zone
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles /etc/localtime
# setup locale. Uncomment en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 in /etc/locale.gen and run  
locale-gen
sed -i '/#en_US.UTF-8 /s/^#//' /etc/locale.gen
locale-gen
# Set locale preferences in /etc/locale.conf
locale > /etc/locale.conf
# install some packages
pacman -Sy --noconfirm python2 tmux btrfs-progs openssh grub gptfdisk
# enable SSHD so it's available on restart
systemctl enable sshd
# configure networking  - set the LAN interface for DHCP
cd /etc/netctl;cp examples/ethernet-dhcp landhcp
# edit netctl profile and change device name from eth0 to enp3s0 (check  
dmesg for correct device)
sed -i 's/eth0/enp3s0/' /etc/netctl/landhcp
# enable the profile once it's been edited with the correct device name
netctl enable landhcp
# swap out fsck hook for btrfs and rebuild initrd
sed -i 's/fsck"/btrfs"/' /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
mkinitcpio -p linux-libre
# set root password  'change-me'
echo "root:change-me" | chpasswd
# install grub
grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck --debug /dev/sda
# create grub menu
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
# exit chroot, umount /mnt and reboot the system
exit
umount /mnt; reboot

Here's a similar automated installer I wrote some time ago, mostly to
install from live media:

I see this is in the mailing list "Assist" whose description is "Ask here
for assistance". "Dev" seems to be more appropriate for this.

Agreed, I forgot that there was more than one mailing list for Parobola,  
my oversight.
