hello folks,
i've just tried to install tde on pclinuxos but get error messages. forget the first error message. But these errors are a bit interresting: "Err http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net x86_64/noarch pkglist 404 Not Found ..... see below..."
does anyone have ideas on this?
Thanks,
Karsten
Been there, done that. :-)
There are a few small problems with the PCLOS installation, but you may not need to work through them. A couple of people are putting together a new PCLOS Trinity iso, and discussing their progress on the PCLinuxOS forum. See: http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php?topic=131668.0
Aside from that, it looks like you have a slash ('/') rather than a space between 'x86_64' and 'noarch'. At least I think it should be a space.
To see about the malformed line, check the file in a text editor, and if it looks OK check it in a hex editor. I once had a line start with an unprintable character that I only found using hexedit.
Lastly, the http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/rpm/pclinuxos/ actually redirects to a mirror. The redirection seems to not be working. You might take a look at the problems I encountered last month (March 2015), and the helpful responses that I got on this mailing list. You can read them online at https://www.trinitydesktop.org/mailinglist.php
