Missing symbol table on archlinux

[logic_guy]

Hey, i have an issue with kicad where i get this error when i try to start a new project

Rather annoying, what should i do to install such a table? In my .config i do have the fp-lib-table file with the correct data in it.

Im running on arch (see image)
(apparently i can only upload one image soo uuh)

In Ubuntu at least, that global default table lives at /usr/share/kicad/template/sym-lib-table – is it the same in Arch? I’m not sure why it would be able to find the default footprint table but not the default symbol table unless there is some weird Arch packaging situation.

@craftyjon

/usr/share/kicad/template

Only thing that i have in that directory

According to Arch Linux - kicad-library 6.0.0-3 (any) you will need to have the kicad-library package installed in order to get the default library tables. Unfortunately I am not familiar with Arch so I don’t have any specific advice, but it looks like you are missing that package or else it wasn’t installed correctly. Seeing only kicad.kicad_pro in that folder implies that kicad package is installed but kicad-library is not.

Ah perfect, the solution was basically to install that package yeah

sudo pacman -S kicad-library

Thank you very much
