error: libgl-dri conflicts with nvidia-utils
When I try uninstall nvidia-utils I receive message that are many dependiences of this package and I can't. Any suggestions ?

This stuff was asked and answered many times already. Do a forum search with "libgl-dri conflicts with nvidia" and you'll find lots of threads with answers for fixing this. It's a simple fix.

Dear Apple...I know time marches on but unfortunately you have become useless to those of us who can't upgrade systems or afford Iphones. So my itunes is totally unavailalbe since ipods can't work w/Itunes 9, so all the $ I spent is out the window! I have been an apple mac user since the Blue Tower in early 2000.

[Solved] Can't upgrade system - cups related problem

Hi,
I can't upgrade (pacman -Syu) my system due some cups related problems.

Please advise.:mad:

OpenVZ - can't upgrade system

Hi, so I have an OpenVZ VPS, and when I do pacman -Syu, it returns lots of errors, which means I can't upgrade it like that.
I looked at this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vi … _for_glibc
but the problem is that
this link:
https://dev.archlinux.org/~ibiru/openvz … ibc-2.16.0-101-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
doesn't work, and
pacman -U https://dev.archlinux.org/~ibiru/openvz … ibc-2.16.0-100-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
returns the error
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting files)
glibc: /lib exists in filesystem
glibc: /usr/bin/tzselect exists in filesystem
glibc: /usr/sbin/zdump exists in filesystem
glibc: /usr/sbin/zic exists in filesystem
My glibc is currently on version 2.12-2, and uname -r returns 2.6.18-308.el5.028stab099.3.
Is there any way of going about this so I can have my Arch Linux system up to date?

Can a VPS be updated just like that? Aren't any newer Arch images available?
The system you have the is age old and updating will be a real PITA.
Edit: https://dev.archlinux.org/~ibiru/openvz/glibc-vps/i686/ provides newer glibc versions too e.g. glibc-2.17-103.
Another thing: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … ow_to_Post
Note that you should avoid using [CLOSED], which is instead used by the system to mark a thread which is no longer accessible for new posts.

I'm really stumped...The lastest version of readline pacman sees is 5.2.013-2 but I found it here:http://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/readline/ I downloaded the source for readline 6.0 on here http://tiswww.case.edu/php/chet/readline/rltop.html. Will it screw everything up if I install it?
I know that packages should all stay up to date together and I read in a few forum posts that upgrading to readline 6.0 messed up other packages. Should I downgrade gnutls? I'm not sure what to do. I just want to update my system...
Oh and I am not currently using testing. Thanks for any help.

As I understand it, there's a delay between when a package gets pushed to the Arch main servers and when it reaches the mirrors. It seems like packages compiled against the new readline and readline itself weren't all put up at the same time. You can either wait for the new readline to be pushed to your mirror of choice, or edit /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and comment out mirrors that haven't been updated since the readline update.
Edit: Oddly enough, the svn entries for gnutls[1] and readline[2] indicate they were both pushed at the same time. I had the same problem as you earlier though, so maybe it's a mirror problem of some sort...

How can i upgrade system IOS images of routers, switches and firewalls

Hi,
I am very much surprised and less of understanding yet how Cisco's licensing program or IOS upgrades are done. I have many routers, switches & ASA's of whom i wan to upgrade the IOS's but i cannot do so. How ever i can download those images from internet but i want to know how can i do this from Cisco as i don't want to trust those IOS's available over internet.
As per my study what i have found that i need to have Cisco Service Contract number for that devices so that i can download updated IOS Images for them.
Someone kindly explain what are the best methods for the above requirements.
Regards
@Mohammed

You're correct regarding a service contract. Cisco calls this Smartnet support. It includes both hardware support (i.e. returns for failed hardware), software support (including right to download and upgrade your software) and technical assistance (via the Cisco TAC). Smartnet is charged separately for each covered device. Once you have it, your cisco.com userid needs to be associated with your service contract number. Doing that will then allow you to download the software from cisco.com. (There are some very limited cases in which you don't have to have a support contract - mostly when there is a security advisory (PSIRT) indicating the Cisco software was flawed as it was initially released.)
Every product (or product family) has a product support page on cisco.com. That page includes release notes, configuration guide, users guides, and a link to software downloads for that product. Start by reading the release notes and determining which (if any) upgrade is appropriate for your product. Then you can download and upgrade the software as necessary.

[SOLVED] can't update system because nouveau and nvidia conflicting?

warning: removing 'libgl' from target list because it conflicts with 'nvidia-utils'
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: nouveau-dri: requires libgl=9.0
A little bit aggravating, it kindly removes libgl from the list because of a conflict then fails out because it's required.
I used nouveau as my graphics driver for a year or two when I first set up this system, but it started giving me weird slowdowns and errors so I tried switching to the proprietary drivers (I know, shame shame) which fixed it. I'm not surprised that they're not compatible, but when I tried to figure out how to remove nouveau I see that it is built into the kernel? I followed the directions as explicitly as possible when installing nvidia so I'm not sure where I went wrong.
Right now, I can't upgrade and I would really like to avoid the pitfall of just blacklisting nouveau-dri. I'd rather invest the work into actually fixing the problem.
I would appreciate any advice.

IIRC since version 1.0.2-2 xf86-video-nouveau depends on nouveau-dri which in turn depends on libgl which conflicts with nvidia because Nvidia provides their own libgl implementation.
This might help: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nv … au_drivers
Thank you, that was quite helpful. The script to switch from nouveau to nvidia includes the line to remove the packages libgl, nouveau-dri, and xf86-video-nouveau. I tried running just that line and it failed out because nouveau-dri and libgl aren't actually installed. How irritating! However, I was able to remove xf86-video-nouveau, and after that pacman has gotten past the dependency check and is installing packages so I think this is fixed.
Big kudos for all the help, marking this solved.

Can I upgrade the processor on my laptop? If so, what processors are compatible for my system?

I have an HP Pavillion dv6-2150us, which runs an Intel Core i3 @ 2.13 GHz, 8 GB RAM and Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. Can I upgrade this processor and if so, what processors are compatible to this system?

First think about memory and an SSD drive. Laptop processor upgrades are a big hassle and not cheap.

My Mac has a OS X operating system. (10.6.8) How can I upgrade its system to Mountain Lion so I can then add the ICloud? Also, does the ICloud include virus protection for files already on my Mac?

You can purchase and download Mountain Lion in the App Store (in your 'Applications' folder), then just run the installer: however you should first check that Mountain Lion can indeed run on your Mac. Please see this page:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
You might also want to look at this page to see whether any vital applications will be adversely affected:
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
In particular note that PPC applications such as AppleWorks will not run on Mountain Lion since Rosetta is not included and can't be added.

Have an IMac 7.1, desktop system 10.4.11, 2.8 GHz, 4MB, 4GB. what can I upgrade to? What do I need to buy and how high can I go?

You can replace one of the 2 GB RAM sticks with a 4 GB stick for a total max. RAM of 6 GBs.
Here are the specs.
Maximum Memory
6.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM
Purchase reliable Mac RAM from online vendors Crucial or OWC (Other World Computing).
The highest OS X version you can go is OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
First, though, you need to purchase a retail disc version of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard in order to download upgrade to OS X 10.8.
Purchase OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard here.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Use Software update, in OS X Preferences Pane to update to the latest version of OS X 10,6 Snow Leopard before upgrading OS to 10.8 Mountain Lion.
OS X 10,6.8 will install the Mac App Store icon in OS X's Application Dock.
From there, you can launch the Mac App Store and download and install OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
Use Sofware Update again to update to the latest version of Mountain Lion.
Be advised, you may want to play around in OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard before updating to OS X 10.8 Mt. Lion.
Some users aren't happy with the Hybrid OS X/iOS functionality of OS X 10.8 Mounatin Lion.
If you upgrade to OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and aren't happy with it, the only way to return to OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard is wipe the internal drive, reformat it, then reinstall OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
You might want to consider purchasing an external FireWire hard drive, format it so you can install OS X 10,6 Snow Leopard and all of its updates onto the internal drive, use a copying/cloning app like Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper to make a duplicate of your internal drive to the external FireWire drive as a backup that you can reinstall onto your internal drive just in case you find you are not happy with the look and functionality of OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
Good Luck!

How can I upgrade the Mac OS X 10.7.5 to better operational system?

Back up your data, check your applications for compatibility, and try downloading Yosemite from the Mac App Store. If you get told that it's incompatible, your computer can't be upgraded past 10.7.5.
Upgrading the OS always carries the risk of losing data that hasn't been backed up. It isn't possible to foresee all problems associated with this.

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion or Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later

I have an 8 year old MacBook Air running OS X 10.6.8; can I upgrade to most current operating system or is it maxed out?

I have an 8 year old MacBook Air running OS X 10.6.8. Can it handle an upgrade to Lion and then to Snow Leopard or is hardware incapable. Additionally, I have a 3 year old Mac Mini running same OS X 10.6.8, with new solid state hard drive. Can I upgrade that one?

8 years old? Not likely. The first MBA was released in January 2008. It can be upgraded to Lion although it meets only the minimal specifications to run Lion. Snow Leopard would likely perform better than Lion on that hardware.
Lion System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
An Early 2009 Mac Mini is capable of running Mountain Lion.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
If you need to purchase Snow Leopard you can still purchase a copy from Apple's online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.] Ask for a Sales Representative.
Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
Snow Leopard from eBay
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
If you need to purchase Lion call 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. Ask for a Sales Representative. They will check your Apple ID, and email you a code and instructions. The cost is $29.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download.
Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
