AUR votes and either cryptic drama or maybe just spam?
Seems like some packages on the AUR have become pretty popular pretty quickly (link shows the 50 top-voted AUR packages):
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0 … _Search=Go
Moreover, there's a bunch of cryptic nonsense that is repeated verbatim, sometimes two messages in a row with the exact text posted some hours later.
Tried to stalk as best I could, but I can't determine who did what, but it sounds like it was either pretty stupid or malicious.
I'd appreciate more information; however, I understand providing information may be inappropriate.
Hope all is well.
Can (and will) the AUR revert, somehow, to its state prior to this callow user's "attack?"
Thank both of you for your question and insight; concerning the "2001: A Space Odyssey" quotes, they're apparently customized (changed names, at least) to specifically target the project (Arch GNU/Linux) and individual (gtmanfred).

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have purchased a TV series on iTunes and can't get it to download to either my pc or iPad. I have been trying for days. I have gotten about thirty minutes of one episode to download after leaving my computer up all night downloading. If I happen to get a few minutes downloaded it skips and then shuts down. Several times the message has come up that the episode is ready to play but it never will. I can fast forward and see the credits but can't play anything in between. It is very frustrating.
I have since read several reviews by iTunes customers that voice the same complaint, but I never have found anyone that gives a solution. If this is the way iTunes works then it looks like Netflix is in my immediate future!Similar issues here.
I purchased five movies for download and having nothing but problems getting them downloaded. I keep receiving error messages and the download stops and I have to restart it, just to get another minute worth of download with each restart. Now Apple has my money and I have nothing. -
was forced to install Adobe again (maybe just update it) and can't get past step 3/3 because its forcing me to buy it. now its half installed and i need to agree to terms and conditions..
Let's start with what you are trying to install. Adobe Reader is free, so it won't be forcing you to buy anything. So
- What are you trying to install (full name, please, Adobe make lots of things)
- What system (e.g. Windows 7, Mac OS Lion, iPad...)
- Where do you go (what web address) to start off?
- Why were you "forced" to do this? -
I have an iPhone and sync it with iTunes. Just got my wife an iPhone also. Is it possible to have 2 accounts in iTunes 1 for my wife and 1 for myself? I don't want to mess up things like contacts on either phone.
The best is to create another Windows user profile(additional User Account) where each one of you can manage your own account, library, playlist Apps, Contacts etc,

The "nvidia-beta-ck" aur package and the "linux-ck" package issue?
I use the linux-ck unofficail repo to install the BFQ scheduler enabled kernel. Today it upgraded to the 3.8.8 and it updated fine but the 319 nvidia beta drivers weren't installed after the update. So I reinstalled the nvidia-beta aur package and everything was fine. Is there a way for it to automatically hook the nvidia drivers into the kernel -- say with dkms or will I need to re-install the drivers everytime the kernel updates.
I think there's an nvidia-all package in the AUR no? You can probably modify that to work with the beta package.

We have a family of Apple products at home, and with every new one, we learn a new aspect of the Apple Life. After switching to iPhone 5S and struggling between some applications, I've decided it is time to upgrade rest of my older devices requesting an IOS Upgrade to 8.1.2 for weeks.
My older iPhone 4 didn't have an upgrade, which was not advanced enough anymore to carry a new software, this I understand. The upgraded iPod Touch and iPad Mini don't seem to have any problems with the recent changes so far. However, the older iPad (2) we had is messed up, just like many other people's as mentioned on the pages of these discussion groups. According to these user comments / complaints, it is obvious that upgrading to IOS 8.1.2 was not the right option to older version iPads just like it was not for iPhone 4; actually it shouldn't be an option in the first place.
On my previous problems with iPhone 5S, I've come to realise the practicality & functionality of the Apple Support system when contacted directly, instead of going through many discussion pages of people with same or similar problems where everybody is asking but just a few is replying. So, I wanted to give it a try to find a solution to my recent problems with iPad, but this time Apple Support pages replied with "Technical Support & Service Coverage are both Expired" message.
First, I did not know that Apple supported its users personally, and I loved it. Maybe this is because I didn't have previous problems with my old iPhone and iPad. Especially the Apple Support - Chat option I preferred, where I got help step-by-step from Apple operators. And then, I did not know that this service support was only for my devices until an expiration date, and this did not please me much.
Can anyone enlighten me on how to receive any response from Apple about what to do with problems of an old Apple device?And as far as paying for phone support, here are a few tips:
If you call your carrier first and then they route you to Apple, you usually don't have to pay for phone support.
If you are talking to Apple and they ask you to pay a support fee, ask if you can get an exception this time. That usually works once, but they keep track of the times you've been granted such an exception.
If you still end up paying the support fee, that fee only applies if it's not a hardware related issue. In other words, if it can be fixed by just talking over the phone and following Apple's instructions, then the fee applies. But if your device is deemed to have a hardware failure that caused the issue, then the fee should not apply, and you can ask for it to be waived after the fact.
This forum is free, and almost all of the technical support articles the Apple tech advisors use are available on this website. Literally 99% of what they can do over the phone is just walking you through the publicly available support articles. In other words, you're paying the fee to have them do your research for you. It's like hiring a research consultant to go look stuff up in the public library so you don't have to. You're capable of doing it; you'd just rather pay someone to do it for you.
It's like Starbucks. You know how to make coffee. Everyone knows how to make coffee. And Starbucks coffee isn't any better than what you could make at home for far less. But you want the convenience. So you're really paying a convenience fee. Milk is more expensive at 7-Eleven than it is at the grocery store... because it's a convenience store. -
My wife and I both have iPhones, we just got a new iPad air. Can we set it up for both of us or should we give it it's own setup separate from our phones?
It's a trust issue. You can set them up so you don't receive each other's messages as long as you each have your own email address.
The trust issue is the fact that either of you can change the separation at any time via Settings by checking the appropriate (inappropriate?) email address.
To be absolutely sure you can never receive each other's messages will require two Apple IDs. -
My photo booth screen is very very dark. I thought it was the screen but its at the brightest it can possibly be! So I grabbed my mothers MacBook Pro and It's much lighter and more clear. I have just the regular macbook. I also used the my camera on tumblr and it came up like my mothers. So could it just be photo booth? I also have no idea how to find out which operating system is downloaded. This is preowned.
Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps. -
Well, maybe just a few, but I just wanted
Well, maybe just a few, but I just wanted to say Apple that iPhoto 6 is a huge improvement over 5. You finally got me to switch from iView, and for the most part, I'm very happy with the results. I used to shoot in RAW+jpeg because I usually wanted to e-mail a bunch of shots quickly to the in-laws wihout futzing around with conversions for every picture, but now I let iPhoto create the jpegs for me on import. I actually love the way iPhoto automatically creates jpegs from the RAW's for mailing or sharing on the web. Saves me a lot of space on the camera cards now that I can just shoot in RAW and leave the jpeg creation to iPhoto. For the small subset of RAW's that I want to fully process, I just control+click edit to open up DPP or photo shop, where I fully process and then save in TIFF and then use an automator to bring the Tiff back into iPhoto. Works like a charm, and I don't have to fudge around in the iView library keeping track of zillions of jpeg's and RAW's. I also like the way iPhoto keeps your original RAW intact no matter what edits you make.
Even though the new iPhoto lets you reference files, ala iView, I've decided to abandon this practice, and let the app manage folders for me. I learned after using iView for the last few years, that there isn't much point in managing files if you also have albums and keywords. I always thought it was important to manage files, but I just ended up piling everything into year folders anyway and then using catalogs and keywords to organize. There's just no need to fight the app. Might as well use the visual interface, albums, and keywords, and leave the plumbing to iPhoto.
iView has far more robust keywording and tagging, but it frankly was overkill for my 7,000 photo library. For those times when I want to archive off-line, I'll probably use iView since it excels at that, but everything online will stay on iPhoto.
I might make the jump to Aperture once it get's beyond beta (it sure seems like it's still beta) but then again, iPhoto's pretty darn good for my needs. Oh, and thanks Apple for fixing the performance issues. iPhoto 5 was unusable, but 6 is a screamer.lewisg12 wrote:

Dear All, latest airport upgrade (this am) prevents windows computers and roku? Conspiracy? Or just ******* software developers?
What do you mean "prevents"? What AirPort upgrade did you just apply?
The one Windows computer we have in the house works with a few glitches on 7.6.4. It's running Vista, which is said to be one of the less successful Windows versions.
I can't address Roku. We don't have one of those.
If you explain what symptoms you are seeing, maybe somebody will drop by and recognize them. Starting over with a more specific posting title might help also. -
My ipod gets like lock, everything appear with lines, I already restore like three times the ipod and still happens the same, what can I do? and on some app store they just told me that restore, but well I do and is the same! What can I do?? and is new, I buy it on march!
This is a image of the ipod already restore, and everytime looks like that!If restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod dow not solve the problem you likely have a hardware problem. In that case either make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store or call AppleCare. If defective, Apple will replace your iPod at no cost.

I have rented a movie on apple tv and wish to finish it on my mac book air. When I open iTunes on my mac book air I can not see the movie in iTunes. It is an authorised device and I can see other purchases just. How do I fix it?
Rented movies downloaded to an Apple TV can't be transferred to any other device.

It also went into a lot of other glitches, but now I had fixed it (by pressing shift + ctrl and restarting it) but the main problem now, it that I cant press z. It's frustrating too. I cleaned out the inside of it but i dont see anything wrong.. I plugged in another keyboard and it worked fine, so its just this keyboard. What do I do?
Often just drying it out provides no resolution to existent problems, and only may serve to stave off additional damage.
Th impurities in the water can conduct electricity, causing a short, which can be permanent. As well, and residual misture can contribute to corrosion, which will cause additonal shorts and open circuits, than can quickly escalate to total system failure.
If there is any chance of saving your system, it will be necessary to act quickly. Do not try to dry the unit through traditonal drying methods. An electronic device will absolutely require disassembly. Be prepared to find the cost to repair can easily exceed the current value of the device.
I advise you to immediately back-up your system, and render the unit for diagnosis and repair. Or you can try drying and hope and wait.
