Package manager issues
Point blank refuses to install for me giving a package manager issue
Works fine in liveuser gets about 60% through installer then gives failed to install message
Have even tried November release
Is this the issue? The repo path is wrong? It goes to a 404
Inside liveuser pacman.conf:
@OrrellElectrics
We just released a new version of Axyl (v22.04), can you download it and check it out if it works?
I got the same issue when trying to install v22.04 and v21.12 in a vm Ran Calamares in debug mode and saw multiple dns resolve issues when it tried to run Pacman. Tried 3-4 times but always with the same result.
Opened a shell and tried to ping the same hosts and it worked without any issues. Checked /etc/resolv.conf and saw it didn't contain any nameservers. Added a nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf to attempt a workaround and have now tried twice and both were successful installations.
I attempted an install of v2022.04.01. The installer failed with the following message:
Package Manager error
Details:
The package manager could not prepare updates. The command <pre> pacman </pre> returned error code 1.
This was with the default install of i3. I also tried dwm as well.
I also tried installing 2021.12.21 with the same error.
Update: I was able to get v2022.04.01 installed, but I had to disable secure boot, TPM etc.
After installing again it failed.
I had the same error while trying to install Axyl on VMWare virtual machine. I've tried to install almost every WM and got the same error.

Hi, that's now how you access these links 😁. $repo gets replaced with the repository name and $arch with x86_64 in your case. I will look into this issue when I get time.
@OrrellElectrics I'd really try the script that creates an updated iso for you and use that instead. It solved a lot of issues for me. You can find it in the installation-scripts/ directory. See link here: https://github.com/axyl-os/axyl-iso/tree/master/installation-scripts

@lubbbert Many users run into issues trying axyl on a VM, I would really try a liveusb instead
