Im trying to install Hyperbola on my Thinkpad x230
And i have some troubles"

https://imgur.com/a/HLkPAPC
and im trying change smth in boot on BIOS and i have rEFInd and i have same troubles.https://imgur.com/a/yTsz5NC
I think i need to install like 0.3.1 ver. cause i saw guides / and on ventoy doc, that version will be fine!
And its work! (but im install it from https://archive.org/download/hyperbola-milky-way-v0.3.1 ) And im trying check hash sum, and maybe im did it right, i guess! https://imgur.com/a/u34seGc
2) Ok, now my trouble is https://imgur.com/a/AzgrKTn
I make like in guide for beginers https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id … stallation
and im watching this video https://youtu.be/l3dR-aGUVF8?si=gIC40C0yjPJV8B83

Re: Connect to mirrors / error failed retrieving file 'community.db'

Hello and welcome, first the message that we do not provide support for Hyperbola 0.3.1 any longer direct. The reasoning that community.db is not possible to be retrieved is that it is not existing since Hyperbola 0.4 and beyond. We have restructured our repositories and offer no longer a wide amount of packages. Hyperbolas approach is to be as most minimalist as possible. Please do NOT use Hyperbola 0.3.1 for that!

It is NOT possible to ugrade from Hyperbola 0.3.1 towards Hyperbola 0.4 or beyond as again to underline: We have restructured, rebuild and reordered everything to be just even more minimalistic.

If this "ventoy" offers support for Hyperbola: Please just use dd-command within there when possible. Nothing more, nothing less.

Sidenote: Please do not use imgur for posting images.

Re: Connect to mirrors / error failed retrieving file 'community.db'

I have looked now at the website for ventoy: There is ONLY Hyperbola 0.3.1 used and that is as said no longer supported here.

So that toolset is NOT recommended to be used for Hyperbola 0.4 and beyond. First of all if you have no GNU/Linux-installation available I would recommend to use some to boot and install the ISO-image with the dd-command.

Re: Connect to mirrors / error failed retrieving file 'community.db'

Also here the same: Personally I have never heard of "balenaEtcher" before. Please just use dd, so it would be sufficient to bootup a simple live-image and use the command with a USB-drive.

The best way is to use the normal local tools, not some online-tools downloaded or direct online hosted.

Re: Connect to mirrors / error failed retrieving file 'community.db'

First of all: Have you checked if the file is really there at the current position?

You can also use it different alike:

dd if=/home/[YOUR_USERNAME]/Downloads/hyperbola-milky-way-v0.4.3-dual.iso of=[DEVICE] bs=2048 && sync

Also take into perspective that dd perhaps needs more privileges when doing.
Best is to check the full structure for folders and files on the terminal. smile

What was your way of download? Via torrent?

Re: Connect to mirrors / error failed retrieving file 'community.db'

If you are using completion on your terminal, you can check if the file is really in that folder. Nevertheless it should be at the point you have downloaded or copied to. So for this I can only recommend you to check the folder-structure.

Re: Connect to mirrors / error failed retrieving file 'community.db'

So to get this on the right side: Do you use UEFI original on that ThinkPad X230? Or Coreboot alike? Meaning: SeaBIOS for example as payload.
And I don't know for this moment: Can you use "legacy boot" as option on that notebook? That would help a lot to get this error reduced or complete mitigated. Hyperbola is not very much befriended with UEFI and "secure boot"-options.

Re: Connect to mirrors / error failed retrieving file 'community.db'

Also to note: Have you run the checksums for your downloaded ISO-file? It seems a bit corrupted for that messages you have shown here.
Important: On which root-filesystem did you do that? Which live-system?

Re: Connect to mirrors / error failed retrieving file 'community.db'

That really sounds like a corruped image. Have you checked the hashsums of your downloaded ISO-file?

Re: Connect to mirrors / error failed retrieving file 'community.db'

Perhaps it is also a problem with the UEFI in usage enforcing 64bit-only usage. But for this I cannot reproduce that error. I have no system comparable here.

Re: Connect to mirrors / error failed retrieving file 'community.db'

No absolutely not restart as otherwise basics are not done. You can try the following:

pacstrap /mnt bash

That would install bash another time.
Also: Please recreate the fstab with ...

genfstab -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab

That would be enough. What kind of format do you use for your harddisk? DOS or GPT for partitioning?

Re: Connect to mirrors / error failed retrieving file 'community.db'

Within the pacstrap you can install nano or anything else. Command:

pacman -S nano

A bit strange nevertheless as it should be there. But well: Helping here. smile

Re: Connect to mirrors / error failed retrieving file 'community.db'

I doubt the installation worked: Every command now for initial setup failed. Can you please reinstall the system within chroot?

pacman -S base base-devel grub wpa_supplicant grub
