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-keyring
first, 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.
Check 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!
