Cannot enable wget in pacman.conf(solved)

Pacman does not recognize wget in /etc/pacman.conf....
[root@n6re ~]# pacman -Scc
error: config file /etc/pacman.conf, line 19: directive 'xferCommand' noted.
[root@n6re ~]#
Attempting to eliminate pacman's filling of my /root partition during full system download I attempted to use wget to aid in downloading. The result is noted above.
My root partition is filled...used
pacman -Scc
once but the problem repeated. Some users use wget to solve the problem so I tried that .
Attempted to use:
pacman -Q |less
The same error concerning wget occured again and no display of installed packages ensued.
So for the present cannot state which pacman version I have installed.
Will restore /etc/pacman.conf to original condition and report further on this problem.

Thanks for the sharp eye.
Reset my modem, re-installed pacman and corrected the pacman.conf entry for wget.
All is well again....

[Solved]Add kernel26 to IgnorePkg in /etc/pacman.conf. Not ignored.

Using kdemod4.3(32bit). I re-installed kernel26-2.6.30.5-1-i686(earliest in pacman pkg cache) and added kernel26 and kernel-headers to /etc/pacman.conf IgnorePkg but # "pacman -Syu" still asks to upgrade kernel to 2.30.6-1-i686. What do I add to that IgnorePkg to avoid kernel upgrade? Tried kernel, kernel26 and kernel26*. Adding nvidia,nvidia-utils and xorg-server to Ignorepkg give me that thee aren't upgraded(desirred result). Thanx.

error: config file /etc/pacman.conf could not be read: Permission denied
This tells you that you have incorrectly configured permissions when you copied the file. Fix that with
chmod 644 /etc/pacman.conf
Also note that I have added code tags ([code]) to your post. Please use them in the future when you post command output or file contents.

[SOLVED] pacman.conf simple line error or... ?

So here's what happened:
I was trying to enable the [multilib] repository. (As according to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Multilib).
Thus, I went ahead and uncommented the following from /etc/pacman.conf:
[multilib]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
To edit /etc/pacman.conf, I used LibreOffice Writer. I saved the file as a .txt document and made sure that it is properly renamed as pacman.conf.
Next, I went to update pacman's package list by running pacman with the -Sy switch.
And then, voila:
# pacman -Sy
error: config file /etc/pacman.conf, line 1: All directives must belong to a section.
However, when looking at pacman.conf I don't see any errors in line 1. Nor do I see any problems with directives.
Here are the contents of pacman.conf:
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=XWh9eagr
Is there a simple problem with a line in pacman.conf --- or is it because I used LibreOffice Writer instead of Vi? Or?
Is the answer to this right in front of my nose?
Thank ya'll..

LibreOffice Writer is a word processor - it will do odd things to your .conf files. Use a text editor. If you don't want to use vi, then use nano, or gedit or anything other than a word processor.
Moving to NC: not at all related to pacman...

[solved] when to update pacman.conf

I apologise in advance. I'm worried that I've either read the answer to this or asked the question before but, if so, I cannot for the life of me find it.
What is the best way to check the progress on package signing? and, even, database signing? (I assume the latter is not yet implemented.)
Currently, I'm using PackageRequired for multilib and core but not community or extra (and not for AUR).
Is there a sticky, blog or wiki page I can monitor so that I know when to require signing for the remaining packages? And when signatures for the databases themselves are implemented?
Or will this be announced via a pacman -Syu announcement?
Last edited by cfr (2012-03-18 03:17:22)

Thanks. I didn't know about expac... expac + grep "(null)" also works nicely though I admit awk is neater. (I just always find awk kind of alien and have never really got to grips with it.)
I've updated pacman.conf to "PackageRequired" for extra. Just a few things in Community to go, I guess. I didn't realise the signing was this far along!

Pacman.conf - No Repositories listed [SOLVED]

My pacman.conf is showing no respositories.
http://gmjones.org/tv/pacman.conf
Where can I go to get a current list to insert into this file?
Thanks.

[core]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Should be rather self explaining, it grabs the mirrors from /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.
And for updating that list, there are two tools linked to on archlinux.org mainpage:
http://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status/
http://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/

[Solved](Offline) install of packages, pacman.conf?

Good morning (or what ever time of the day it is for you now )!
I tried offline installation as this guide http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Off … f_packages instructed plus configured pacman.conf to have Server = file:///var/lib/pacman/sync/approriate_dir lines. When trying pacman -Sp --noconfirm any_package I get ERROR: not found in sync db. Is there something I should know? Is my pacman.conf file made by an ass ?
Last edited by aCyd (2008-03-24 11:53:22)

I fixed it. This is how (maybe someone finds this useful):
the pacman that came with the installation cd was apparently different version than the one used when writing the wiki. It wouldn't look for the core.db.tar.gz and the other files from the /var/lib/pacman/sync/core etc folders (perhaps it would have found them from the /var/lib/pacman/core etc folders there were already, who knows didn't try).
I made a folder called /mnt/usb
mkdir /mnt/usb
mounted the usb stick (it showd as sdb1 for me)
mount /dev/sdx /mnt/usb
and added
Server = file:///mnt/usb/Arch
to my pacman.conf under [core], [extra] and [community] so pacman found them from my usb stick along with packages. I also made sure that the 'Include /path/to/mirrorlist' was commented. No tar command was needed.
pacman -Sp --noconfim {package-name} > pkglist
didn't work for me. I just got the last error line without any package names. Instead I used grep
pacman -Syu --noconfirm | grep error > pkglist
and upgraded the whole system.
I modified the pkglist in emacs with replace-string to remove '' from disk : No such file or directory' after the package name and then again to replace 'error: failed retrieving file '' with the url of my selected mirror. (I know that could have been done more elegantly using sed or something or even a proper regexp in emacs if not with the command) After that I downloaded the packages as instructed, copied them to my usb and mounted it to my Arch system and ran again
pacman -Syu

Pacman.conf kinda confused

Hello i am just trying out Arch Linux and just did a fresh install. And i trying to enable the repositories and i seem to keep running into an error
everytime i type pacman or anything related it get this error
error: config file /etc/pacman.conf, line 65: directive 'Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first' not recognized.
I know you have to add your own mirrors and such which i did, but still getting errors here is my etc/pacman.conf and /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Since the first instance above was correct, there seems to be a failed DNS problem when attempting anything else.

Hi accidentally overwrote new pacman.conf with /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew

Hi
I accidentally overwrote etc/pacman.conf with the old /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew.
Pacman now appears to work but disregards the signing of packages.
Is there an copy of the pacman.conf from the upgrade around so I can merge
the two files. perhaps pacman.conf~, but no I think this is overwritten too.

Hi Trilby,
it may be the mouldy oldy one as there is no reference to "SigLevel = Never" it does not seem to exist only "Architecture = auto"
Here is the current /etc/pacman.conf
# /etc/pacman.conf
# See the pacman.conf(5) manpage for option and repository directives
# GENERAL OPTIONS
[options]
# The following paths are commented out with their default values listed.
# If you wish to use different paths, uncomment and update the paths.
#RootDir = /
#DBPath = /var/lib/pacman/
#CacheDir = /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
#LogFile = /var/log/pacman.log
HoldPkg = pacman glibc
# If upgrades are available for these packages they will be asked for first
SyncFirst = pacman
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/curl -C - -f %u > %o
#CleanMethod = KeepInstalled
Architecture = auto
# Pacman won't upgrade packages listed in IgnorePkg and members of IgnoreGroup
#IgnorePkg =
#IgnoreGroup =
#NoUpgrade =
#NoExtract =
# Misc options (all disabled by default)
#UseSyslog
#ShowSize
#UseDelta
#TotalDownload
#CheckSpace
# REPOSITORIES
# - can be defined here or included from another file
# - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
# - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
# - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
# have identical names, regardless of version number
# - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
# - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
# Repository entries are of the format:
# [repo-name]
# Server = ServerName
# Include = IncludePath
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

The pacnew version includes everything for package signing. All you will have lost is any personal changes you have made.
The package signing lines are, however, commented out except for the "SigLevel = Never" line. Just read the instructions within the comments and uncomment the appropriate SigLevel line (and comment the "Never" line).

Feature request: extra Include directive in default pacman.conf

Since arch's move to systemd, cluster administration requires less and less use of sed. In particular, systemctl, timedatectl, /etc/sysctl.d, /etc/modules-load.d, /etc/hostname, /etc/vconsole.conf, etc. make scripting configuration changes both simpler more robust than the old approach of editing multi-purpose files such as /etc/rc.conf.
An exception to this trend is pacman.conf, which has non-trivial default contents that almost certainly needs to be customized (e.g., to enable multilib and local repositories). These changes would be much simpler if the default pacman.conf included a line such as:
Include = /etc/pacman.d/conf/*.conf
Currently my scripts use sed to insert this line at the end of the [options] section. (Unfortunately "Include = /etc/pacman.d/*.conf" doesn't work because there's sometimes a gpg.conf file in /etc/pacman.d, but maybe that could be fixed.)
I don't know if the forum is the right place for feature requests, but I wanted to get people's reactions. If people think it's a good idea I can add it as a feature request to the bug tracker.
There are several other pieces of low-hanging fruit where I'd like to see arch decrease the complexity scripting configuration (e.g., an unattended pacman-key --populate and easier customization of mkinitcpio.conf), but I figured I'd start with the simplest and gauge people's reactions.

It isn't... best to place the feedback in flyspray so it will be sure to get to the peeps that need to see it. Welcome to Arch.

HT5594 After updating to iOS7 on my iPhone4 I cannot enable location services. How do I enable location services? I have tried turning off restrictions but that did not work.

After updating to iOS7 on my iPhone 4 I cannot enable location services. How do I enable location services? I have tried turning off restrictions but that did not work.

I finally just resolved this after not being able to enable location services since upagrading to iOS 7. Posting the solution here 'cause I couldn't find it anywhere else.
I enabled Restrictions under Settings > General > Restrictions and created a passcode (I'm not sure if this was part of the solution, but it wasn't enabled for me by default.)
In Restrictions, under Privacy, Location Services was set to "Allow Changes" (This still didn't solve the issue of the greyed-out Location Services switch though - I still couldn't turn it on.)
Also in Restrictions, I also switched "Find My Friends" to "Allow Changes"
Once I did step 3, the switch under Settings > Privacy > Location Services was no longer greyed out and could be switched on.
Hope this helps!

Cannot enable web services

I have a recently bought (22/01) B110 and it has setup easily, and connected to the network easily, but I cannot enable web services, it comes up with 'Server Connection Error' nothing else, I have also tried updating the firmware for the printer but it comes up with an identical message
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Try these steps and check if printer connects to Web Services or not:
1) Turn OFF the wireless radio
2) Perform Restore Network defaults from the printer menu
3) Turn OFF the printer and unplug the power cable from the back. Wait for 5 min
4) Reconnect the power cable and turn ON the printer
5) Run the wireless setup wizard from the printer menu.
6) check if you are able to print and scan
7) "Remove Web Services" from the printer menu and wait for 2 minutes
8) "Enable Web Services" from the menu and wait.
This should print a page automatically.

Pacman/Pacman.conf Scripts

I've been working on these two pieces for a while. For the most part, they're complete to my standards, but obviously they can always looked to be improved upon. I use the first one daily with no real problems (though I could add a little more error handling) and the other one does work for me though I don't need to call upon it too much.
My goal was really to provide an interface for pacman which was fast but still easy to use. I also realized that I can't write any GUI code, nor do I feel like it's nessisary to make something simple. It really only requires bash, a few coreutils, and pacman to be used, so if you're on a lower-end system and don't want to call upon a large GUI front end, this may be something good for you to try out.
Any feedback is appreciated too

Sadly my webserver is down as of now, so I can't post these scripts directly from my site, but this should work fine anyway. Enjoy!

Oh no I understand. Hah I figured that'd be the case that somebody created something like this.
Well my main point with these scripts was really just for self-teaching and such. Essentially though, my idea was to make a script which can help somebody who is newer and doesn't quite know all the helpful syntax of pacman or somebody who just doesn't want to be bothered with it have a quick and easy way to do it. Since there are already GUI front ends to do something like this, I figured a scripted version would be nicer for somebody who may need something less resource intense. That's the first script
The second script was just to make it a little less painful to navigate the pacman.conf file without having to go through it and figure out the syntax for everything (if you don't already know it) because I figured it was easier to find just a URL than to know all the syntax of the config file, and this just fills in the voids for you.
I use it for myself daily and it does make it a bit easier when you just want to install a package or update real quickly. Like I said though, I'm not surprised that there's something better implimented already. I figured I'd just toss it out there to see who could enjoy it. I appreciate the questioning though as you're right; I didn't make myself very clear-cut. At any rate, useful or not for people, they're here haha. Like I also said, I wrote these just as a learning experience for coding and other things. So, if somebody can find a use for them, all the better. If not, um, sorry to waste thread space haha.
