Unable to install packages after installing Blend OS 4 Alpha on fresh Arch install
I've just install Blend OS 4 alpha, the described on the announcement, just after installing Arch (from bootstrap, not iso) on a laptop. Many things works well, but... not my touchpad... So I think to install drivers or something. I tried the
system , but it is missing (and so are missing user and bpkg commands). As expected, pacman does not work.
What should I do ?11 Replies
Did you read the guide
To add packages edit system.yaml
Thanks for your answer. Currently, I'm trying to handle the problem this way. But I thought there was an easier way to manage packages as described in the docs here https://docs.blendos.co/docs/utilities/system/. But
system, user and bpkg commands are missing. Is that normal or is there a problem ? That was my first question.
Now, I'll try to add the package xf86-input-synaptics and track xfce instead of plasma, hoping that the problem is linked to libinput.system | blendOS
system is a utility that allows you to install and remove system packages, as well as switch between different desktop environments.

That’s for v3
The docs
BlendOS v4 Install Guide
The BlendOS v4 alpha is now out! Here’s how you can install and try it out.
Well, it was not clear to me that those three commands were considered as parts of the install process and that the whole v3 docs are inapplicable to v4.
The Synaptic package did not make the trick. Shall I restart the process and make the touchpad works with the arch bootstrap before installing BlendOS ?
Yes
OK, let's go. Thanks for your help.
Synaptic?
Synaptic: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/xf86-input-synaptics/
So, I restarted from an Arch bootstrap. I used
libinput list-devices, and my touchpad is listed as SYNA3602:00 093A... (that why I thought "Synaptic"). So I tried libinput event-debug: events came from all other devices, but not my touchpad. So I've installed xf86-input-libinput, and tried again event-debug. And events came up. So I added libinput and xf86-input-libinput to system.yaml, but the pad did not work with plasma, neither xfce...Weird
