Hey;

I was trying to install Netflix on my Manjaro and the first part was to add this to "/etc/pacman.conf" '[pipelight]

Server = http://repos.fds-team.de/stable/arch/$arch

I made an error by just adding; "pipelight' and not the other one. When I went back and tried to add "Server = http://repos.fds-team.de/stable/arch/$arch" I was unable to save it. What I'd like to do is to remove the 'pipelight from "/etc/pacman.conf" then Save and get out of there.

At the moment under File I have 'Save As' but 'Save' is grayed out. When I added 'pipelight' I used 'Save' Now it asks me where I want to Save the change. I am at a loss as to where to save the change or what to call it?

Do you still have another edit window open? Did you edit as root before and regular user now?

# nano /etc/pacman.conf

[pipelight]
SigLevel = Never
Server = http://repos.fds-team.de/stable/arch/$arch

ctl + x

y

enter

pacman -Syy

Pacman -S pipelight

I do not have a second edit window open. I didn't use Root. I went as follows:

File > etc > pacman.conf. I opened it then right clicked, expecting an option to use 'thunar root', instead it gave me an option to 'edit'. I used it.

Here is what I received when I used:

'thunar /etc/pacman.conf'



Now exactly where do I place the following:

"[pipelight]
SigLevel = Never
Server = http://repos.fds-team.de/stable/arch/$arch

ctl + x

y

enter

pacman -Syy

Pacman -S pipelight"

I have my suspicions. When I had posted; 'thunar /etc/pacman.conf', and clicked 'Enter' It opened in Libre Office Writer'. Going straight to '/etc/pacman.conf' I opened it in 'mousepad' then right clicked in an empty space, no option to edit came up.


[miltiades@Mithradates ~]$ pacman -Syy
error: config file /etc/pacman.conf, line 1: All directives must belong to a section.
[miltiades@Mithradates ~]$

LibreOffice Writer is a word processor, not a text editor.

Do exactly what I typed in a terminal..

pacman.conf has to be edited using root.

following Germany_Chris
In terminal as root type the following:
nano /etc/pacman.conf

This will bring up the command line text editor
Make sure the following is in the file (towards the bottom, you will see others with this same setup):

[pipelight]
SigLevel = Never
Server = http://repos.fds-team.de/stable/arch/$arch

Once it is all there press:
ctl + x

Then press:
y

Then Press:
enter

then run the 2 following commands as root to update pacman.
pacman -Syy

pacman -S pipelight

yes

I will have to run the command as: 'thunar etc/pacman.conf' and it opens with 'Libreffice Writer. I get this:

"Password:
[root@Mithradates miltiades]# thunar /etc/pacman.conf

(thunar:3254): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "adwaita",

(thunar:3254): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "adwaita",

Before it opens as I said before with LibreOffice Writer, not exactly a text editor.
When I use; nano /etc/pacman.conf as root I end up with:

"# Pipelight
# /etc/pacman.conf
#
# See the pacman.conf(5) manpage for option and repository directives

#
# GENERAL OPTIONS

[ Read 92 lines ]
^G Get Help ^O WriteOut ^R Read File ^Y Prev Page ^K Cut Text ^C Cur Pos
^X Exit ^J Justify ^W Where Is ^V Next Page ^U UnCut Text^T To Spell

It does not go any further.

don't use Thunar

That's why we typed what we typed.

It got through to me, finally, and since I do not have 'nano' I used 'mousepad'in its place:

"[root@Mithradates miltiades]# mousepad /etc/pacman.conf

(mousepad:1750): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "adwaita",

(mousepad:1750): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "adwaita","

Mousepad opened with a warning. I proceeded to place:

"[pipelight]
SigLevel = Never
Server = http://repos.fds-team.de/stable/arch/$arch"

In place towards the bottom, saved it, then closed mousepad.

Here is a screenshot of where I placed those three lines:

Here is what I got when I entered as root to do an update:

"[miltiades@Mithradates ~]$ su
Password:
[root@Mithradates miltiades]# pacman -Syy
error: config file /etc/pacman.conf, line 1: All directives must belong to a section.
[root@Mithradates miltiades]#"

Also tried this:

"[miltiades@Mithradates ~]$ sudo pacman -Syy
[sudo] password for miltiades:
error: config file /etc/pacman.conf, line 1: All directives must belong to a section."


I have another issue that being not able to get "Add and Remove Software" Folder to open. Nor can I open "Software Update" Folder. I had hoped by fixing up 'pacman.conf' things would be back to a semblance of normalcy?

nano is installed it's installed with base..

your screen shot shows that pipelight is hashed out therefore not working.

..derp it did post after all

Can you post the first section of your pacman.conf?

The error states it is in line one. So something may have been modified up top.

Vegan;

Here is screenshot of top section of /etc/pacman.conf :
