SOLVED: No package hda-ctl / hda-platform available

Hey there!

I am trying to install Amahi 8 on my pc, but so far it isn't working out for me.

First: I am trying to use the following page to install Amahi (https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Amahi_8_Install). The first problem started when I installed the iso's supplied by the page itself. Those simply do not work for me (they give a /dev/root does not exist error) so I switched to a direct Fedora 21 installating which worked like a charm. After that I used the commands:

rpm -Uvh http://f21.amahi.org/noarch/hda-release ... noarch.rpm
yum -y install mariadb-libs mariadb-server
yum -y install hda-ctl hda-platform
hda-install YOUR-INSTALL-CODE

And the first two work fine, but the third one and therefore the forth one don't work. The third one immediately gives the error no package hda-platform available (same for hda-ctl). I tried several things (like this one https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/questi ... available/) but none seem to have helped.

On one of the posts of this forum was suggested to post the fpaste --sysinfo so here it is:

Any clue what I should do?

Thanks in advance!

This indicates you installed Fedora 21, 32-bit. We only the support 64-bit operating system.

If you do not have a machine which is 64-bit, you will not be able to install Amahi.

This is indicated on the Amah i8 Install instructions page you referenced and why things are not working for you. Based on you saying you could not get Fedora working based on the links provided for the install media on that page, I would expect your machine is not compatible machine.

Thank you for your fast response and sorry that I couldn't reply earlier.

I had another try at installing the 64-bit version and this time I used Rawrite32 instead of the suggested Unetbootin and it instantly worked!

Glad to hear.

Closing this one as solved.
