Unable to install applications

Post by lotech »

Hi there,

I just installed the system and trying to install apps but failed, the software station pauses after I type 2 letters, even I completed the typing there is no list return, I then tried to install via command line but failed too with error :

pkg: No signature found in the repository. Can not validate against /usr/share/keys/pkg/GhostBSD.pub key.
Unable to update repository GhostBSD
Error updating repositories!

I then ping the repos and it seems to work fine :

# ping pkg.freebsd.org
PING pkgmir.geo.freebsd.org (192.50.199.247): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.50.199.247: icmp_seq=0 ttl=51 time=51.101 ms
64 bytes from 192.50.199.247: icmp_seq=1 ttl=51 time=50.637 ms

64 bytes from 192.50.199.247: icmp_seq=3 ttl=51 time=50.968 ms

What is going on here ??

If you are on the latest build, it is very unstable.

Also, pkg.freebsd.org is not the repository, pkg.ghostbsd.org is the repository.

If you comment(#) the 2 pubkey lines in /etc/pkg/Trail.conf pkg should runs fine.

No it won't work, I reinstall the latest built and still the software station do nothing, it just pause after I typed the 2nd letter, even I can input the full text there is zero return nothing all blank empty, is GBSD still actively developing ?

Try installing Octopkg and using that.

pkg ins octopkg

Now I know what causing the problem, the system unable to update the repository, I got this when I do a "pkg update" :

root@3bsd:/etc # pkg update
Updating GhostBSD repository catalogue...
pkg: Repository GhostBSD load error: access repo file(/var/db/pkg/repo-GhostBSD.sqlite) failed: No such file or directory
Fetching meta.txz: 100% 260 B 0.3kB/s 00:01
pkg: No signature found in the repository. Can not validate against /usr/share/keys/pkg/GhostBSD.pub key.
repository GhostBSD has no meta file, using default settings
Fetching packagesite.txz: 100% 6 MiB 1.1MB/s 00:06
pkg: No signature found in the repository. Can not validate against /usr/share/keys/pkg/GhostBSD.pub key.
Unable to update repository GhostBSD

What's up with it and how to fix ?

Did you follow ericbsd's advice and comment out the lines in
/etc/pkg/Trail.conf pkg ?
Do you have any internet access at all?
