Hi, i have a very old asus laptop, some years ago i installed arch with xfce. I leaved this laptop untouched for some months, then 2 days ago I rebooted the sistem and did the classic sudo pacman -Syu
after a lot of downloading i got an error about gpt keys, searching obline it was something like this:
`> error: celt: signature from "Jan Alexander Steffens (heftig) " is unknown trust
:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/celt-0.11.3-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)). Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] `
The only issue i noticed after is that even if im connected to internet (wifi or lan) from midori It wont be able to load anything. How can i fix this? Thnx in advance for the help guys!
First make sure the clock and date is correct, as encryption and signatures rely on time a lot to verify validity.
Update
archlinux-keyringfirst, alone:sudo pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring. Unless that system is incredibly old, this should fix the “corrupted” packages issue.Then, for safety’s sake, get yourself a copy of pacman-static or an arch install USB. If something goes wrong midway with regular pacman, it may not run again because of mixed old/new libraries due to partial upgrade, but pacman-static can be used as a standalone in-system backup option, as it doesn’t depend on anything.
wget https://pkgbuild.com/~morganamilo/pacman-static/x86_64/bin/pacman-static chmod a+x pacman-staticCheck the news on archlinux.org and see if there’s any manual steps your system might need.
And finally, refresh and update everything:
sudo pacman -Syu.Fix any errors that comes up but with a bit of luck everything will install fine. If something fails during installation, your system may be borked but pacman-static should continue working, so try to fix it with that. If all else fails, use the arch USB to fix it.
Good luck!
I will try this and let you know how it goes, thank you!
