⚠️ Troubleshooting / full system maintenance ⚠️

1. If you haven't updated your Arch Linux (LXC) in a while you will likely get some of the errors below when using any of my scripts or while trying to perform a normal system update:

   • invalid or corrupted package
   • Signature from "User [email protected]" is unknown trust

   To fix that you will have to do what is shown in the following links or use my all-in-one command in step 2.
   https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman/Package_signing#Resetting_all_the_keys
   https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman/Package_signing#Upgrade_system_regularly

2. This command will basically perform a full system maintenance (remove chunk & update all packages and signatures) as described in the links above.

   rm -rf /etc/pacman.d/gnupg && pacman-key --init && pacman-key --populate archlinux && pacman -Sy --noconfirm archlinux-keyring && pacman -Su --noconfirm && if pacman -Qtdq >/dev/null; then pacman -Rns --noconfirm $(pacman -Qtdq); fi && yes | pacman -Scc && reboot

Things to know about Arch Linux LXCs on Proxmox

1. Arch Linux LXCs need to have nesting=enabled in order for networking to function properly.

2. Partial system / package updates are not supported (not advisable) on Arch Linux.
   Because of that my scripts always perform a full LXC system upgrade while installing new packages.

!!! Make a backup of your LXC before running any of my scripts or commands in it. !!!

These scripts are only tested to be working on a freshly made Arch Linux LXC running on Proxmox.
Even though I tested these scripts to be working well on my system they can still misbehave on your system.
