Having trouble Installing scdaemon

Hardware Librem (Other)
1

Hi I just received my Librem 15 and am trying to install scdaemon so I can set up my Librem Key but I keep getting stuck. Using Tilex for the first time I came across the link https://gnunn1.github.io/tilix-web/manual/vteconfig/ as there were some parts missing from Tilex that needed fixing, I chose option 2 which was to tick a preference to run command as login shell. This made an inprovement and got me to this stage, as Tilex would not do anything prior. Now when I run command I get this;

myname@username:~$ sudo apt install scdaemon

Looks like you had a few errors there.

First - The IP address for the PureOS repo couldn’t be found (the 404 Not Found error). This may have been a temporary network error. If you try again, this part will likely succeeed.

Second - You ran apt-get update instead of sudo apt-get update. Not running with sudo is why you see those permission denied errors.

Third - --fix-missing on it’s own is not a command. The full command I think should have been sudo apt-get install --fix-missing

My guess is you probably copied those commands from somewhere, but wherever you copied them from had linebreaks in between for whatever reason, so your copy included the linebreaks, which broke the commands.

So I would first just try

sudo apt update
followed by
sudo apt install scdaemon

and see if that works (hopefully the network issue is resolved). If that doesn’t work, then post the new error.
