Update: after 3h of constant debugging and trying to fix the master pgp keys (one key was always expired and Blahaj couldnt recreate them) she gave up an is now installing Opensuse instead.

Second Update: after realising, that either I Am stupid, or the OpenSuse Tumbleweed install screen is complete bullshit I found something called ArtiX, that ended up working completely fine and actually worked. That was one hell of a trip.

Das alte Hartbuch lebt also tatsächlich noch. Sehr schön.

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 3 points 2 weeks ago

Das Hartbuch ja, meine Bogen Linux Installation nicht. Ich sitze bereits seit 3h an dem Kram dran und bekomme es nicht hin.

Woran scheitert es?
(Ich Frage nur aus Interesse, nicht weil ich glaube das ich helfen könnte. Dazu müsste ich das Teil vor mir liegen haben.)

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 3 points 2 weeks ago

(mindestens) einer der Master Signature Keys war immer agelaufen und auch nach diversen versuchen die neu zu erstellen hat es nicht geklappt. Ich probiere jetzt Opensuse aus.

Autsch

Auweia! Dem zweiten Update entnehme ich das auch opensüße nicht so wollte. Aber freut mich das du es dann doch mit was zum laufen gekriegt hast.

One of us! Although 32-bit. But still welcome!

I did Arch on both of my main machines before and now I got my hands on a very old Toughbook cf30 on which I'm trying to install arch together with a friend and of course nothing works

😅 Good luck! 🫡

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

We did not succeed and ended up with installing AntiX

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

At least you tried, and didn't end up with Windows! 👍

32 bit arch linux is much easier to install if you gave access to a 64 bit arch linux to get the keys for you

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 4 points 2 weeks ago

How the hell do I do this?

[-] ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

Install arch-32 from within arch into whatever storage you're trying to install it onto.

Basically:

  1. Have an arch system ready
  2. Manually install the arch-install-scripts from the arch 32 bit projects repository in a sandbox environment (to avoid putting yourself into a broken, unsupported state)
  3. Mount the storage to which you're attempting to install into {sandbox}\mnt\
  4. Follow the install guide as normal, using the already updated pgp keys from your already working archlinux installation.
  5. Transplant the storage back into the 32 bit system and pray

That may look like something I could try giving a shot, but I will not get to try it out in the next 4 weeks.

Good luck friendo! If you have trouble you're welcome to shoot me a DM and I'm happy to offer assistance.

Where did the shonk find 32 Bit Arch? lol

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

On the Internet

[-] 30p87@feddit.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

Oh lol, last time (the day you originally asked) I looked at archlinux32.org and it was down and seemed abandoned.

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

The site is up, but something is utterly broken
