Can not update after new install

Basic Help & Support
#1

I have earlier reported on a success story with MacBook Pro 8,1 (late 2011) but last nigth “my old friend” died! Today I have done a new install on a MBP 13 retina (late 2014) and I am having trouble updating. I get the message “archlabs-user-skel : /etc/skel/.vimrc already exists in filesystem” and then update stops.
Remove /etc/skel/.vimrc?

I once used option 16 of pacli and solved, then option 2.
But I know that every case is a case…

Hi it happened to me too; i wasn’t sure if I could make more damage removing the existing file, so I renamed it and proceed with the update .
It was successful and I tested the system, didn’t find any trouble so i deleted the one i renamed and everything was fine since.
I hope it works for you, please let me know.

Looks like you can go straight with:
rm /etc/skel/.vimrc and you could also, next time you update, need to run rm /usr/lib/libmozjs-52.so.0.
I experienced each issue in two different update sessions.

Apologies for the issue with /etc/skel/.vimrc, its now just part of our user package.

The /usr/lib/libmozjs-52.so.0 wasn’t me however, must be some other changes upstream to som javascript libraries

I do not think this centers package with / etc / skel
but maybe I’m wrong.

Hello again!

I am overwhelmed over the response here! Really great forum!!
I did remove /etc/skel/.vimrc and update went as usual after that. Now I have wifi working also. I am doing this on my “work-book” (because my old friend died). I am using a 64GB usb-stick and so far I only have one little problem. I cannot make screenresolution stick between reboots. “My old friend” was very easy to install to and now this is the first time on retina. I will read up on mbp-retina and see if there is a good solution to this. Unless someone here has a hint?

Thanks for support!!

Yes! It seems like I have worked out the resolution problem! I used xrandr and xfce controlcenter and managed to make a save to configuration!
