Should i upgrade pacman first???

Yes, of course, pacman and manjaro-system should have top priority.

[graphixtux]

OK so im trying to update pacman but i only get this error:

Code: [Select]

sudo pacman -Su
warning: config file /etc/pacman.conf, line 43: directive 'LocalFileSigLevel' in section 'options' not recognized.
:: The following packages should be upgraded first :
    pacman
:: Do you want to cancel the current operation
:: and upgrade these packages now? [Y/n]

resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: kalu: requires pacman<4.1

And also whats that line 43 directive error something's wrong 

[dante]

That's no problem some recommend disable syncfirst to update your system but try this first
Uninstal kalu temporary and update system

Code: [Select]

sudo pacman -Rs kalu && sudo pacman -Syu

if your update without errors reinstall kalu

Code: [Select]

sudo pacman -S kalu

..and your done - hope

TY all for the replyies this is indeed a great community, however i had to re-install  the system was just way to out of date, plus i got a view of the new graphical installer (dead easy to use), im on the default xfce desktop at 64bit (nice base to build on) wobling away with compiz, really enyoying this operating system. Manjaro Linux its just fantastic., lol.

Good Bye. ty all.

graphixtux, i'm glad you are really enjoying Manjaro & that the new graphics installer is easy to use - i'm gonna do a fresh install on our 2nd laptop to check it out. go well meantime, Ruziel.

I had to do a reinstall aswell as i screwed up my graphic drivers thats the way to learn

[graphixtux]

I also had to get rid of ArchBang after installing the free drivers, jus followed the wiki but it was no good, upon re-boot i only had a blank screen but do you remember what commands did you use to install your driver? Cause i want to use my legacy nvidia card it gets overheated but im not gonna mess my install this time,

After you have donw what you said, you will need to enable the guest extensions in your Virtual Box software.

Edit- Umm, sorry I am not able to completely understand what you are trying to do , could you be more specific ?
If you are trying to install Manjaro in a VM, then you can do it directly.

It is worth reading this page in the wiki (in case you haven't):

Hi, new guy here, haven't actually installed yet. Reading through the guide though. Slight double type on the first line. Thanks for the guide!

Hi iomthd! Welcome aboard. May I make a suggestion to you? You may want to install Manjaro into a VM (virtual machine) before installing it on your main system so you can get the feel for it before going through any unnecessary downtime due to issues that will arise as you learn. Arch-based stuff is still new to me and using a VM has helped me tremendously. I hope this helps you out in your new adventure with Manjaro-Linux.

Carl! Thank you sooooo much for this wonderful beginner's guide to Manjaro! It is simply awesome!! I am reading it and it is so cool now to have this intel at my fingertips.
