Unable to install i2c-tools

RuneAudio : Re1
Kernel : 4.14.34-1-ARCH
Hardware : Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2


I'm trying to connect a new i2c OLED display to my Raspberry Pi running RuneAudio so I can display artist and track info etc., but seem to be stumbling at the first steps. I've started with a clean install, and RuneAudio appears to be working fine with an IQaudIO DAC plugged in.

I can ssh into the Pi ok but when I try to install i2c-tools with

Code: Select all

sudo pacman -S i2c-tools

Get the following, and the package fails to install

Code: Select all

I'm still very new to this, so apologies if I'm making a fundamental error. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi stablgr,

Get the following, and the package fails to install

Try this:

Code: Select all

pacman -Sy i2c-tools

The 'sudo' is not required. The 'y' is important, it tells pacman to update it's listing of packages before attempting to install.

Thanks Janui. That worked a charm.

I really need to spend some time learning Linux and better understand what I'm doing rather than just blindly following other examples I've seen on-line.
