New Distro?


Recommended Posts

I used Antegros before, I never really liked it for some odd reason.

 

But, aside from that, anyone know my problem getting catalyst drivers?

 

Antergos is arch with a good installer and themed environment, nothing more.. it's still pure arch :) the openbox default setup looks great to me.. the wiki I posted above shows how to install catalyst from aur as well, is not antergos specific

Thanks, I tried it on my Laptop :)

 

Why I never liked it, I have no idea. :huh:

I would say try OpenSUSE. I'm not a huge Linux nut, but I'm drifting more and more to it everyday. This has been a massive source of information. Thank you all to your comments!

Try Antergos! Should make things easier for you. 

 

antergos.com

 

As for GPU drivers: http://antergos.com/wiki/hardware/amd-catalyst-drivers/ 

 

I have a radeon as well on PC and I used this guide before without issues (now I don't even bother installing GPU drivers as I don't game in the Linux, only in Windows.. the open source driver is enough for me)

 

Can you explain this while using Yaourt?

error: target not found: xorg-server<1.17.0

It can't go past this...

the catalyst driver looks for an older version of xorg, you need to install it instead using the one that comes with the system... amd didnt released a driver for the newer xorg, which is a pain

 

click here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AMD_Catalyst#Installing_the_driver

 

and check the red box warning

How do you add the key?

as far as I remember, you add the repos to the pacman file and the key will be shown when you try to install.. then you say yes and thats it

[xorg112]
Server = http://catalyst.wirephire.com/repo/xorg112/$arch
## Mirrors, if the primary server does not work or is too slow:
#Server = http://mirror.rts-informatique.fr/archlinux-catalyst/repo/xorg112/$ar$
#Server = http://mirror.hactar.bz/Vi0L0/xorg112/$arch

This is what they said to add. There is no key in the repo. Unless I copied the wrong thing?

 

I tried doing a pacman -Sy. But for that repo says

 xorg112                   12.3 KiB  4.02M/s 00:00 [######################] 100%
 xorg112.sig              287.0   B  0.00B/s 00:00 [######################] 100%
error: xorg112: key "ABED422D653C3094" is unknown
error: key "ABED422D653C3094" could not be looked up remotely
error: failed to update xorg112 (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))
error: database 'xorg112' is not valid (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))

sudo pacman-key --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 0xabed422d653c3094 && sudo pacman-key --lsign-key 0xabed422d653c3094
sudo pacman -Syu

And remember to put the xorg repo at the top of the server list in /etc/pacman.conf
