Dependancy trouble when performing full system upgrade

Below is the output from pacman:
:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace esd with extra/esound? [Y/n] y
:: Replace synaptics with extra/xf86-input-synaptics? [Y/n] y
resolving dependencies...
warning: dependency cycle detected:
warning: xorg-server will be installed before its catalyst-utils dependency
looking for inter-conflicts...
warning: removing 'libgl' from target list because it conflicts with 'catalyst-utils'
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: xf86-video-ati: requires libgl>=7.2
Checked the news and theads on here and not seen anyone with simular problems so I'm really not quite sure how to tackle this one...

sorry, i should have added a bit more detail about my setup:
it's an ASUS X51RL-series laptop. It has an ATI radeon xpress 1100 GFX chip.
I'm running KDE4 + compiz-fusion
I'm guessing the problem is related to the xorg upgrade? Beyond that I'm not sure how best to address the dependances.

[solved] After a full-system upgrade (Linux 3.15.8) = Wifi undetected

Hi, following this post, I'm seeking help concerning a big problem with my wifi.
In fact, it has been a few months since my wifi interface isn't recognized anymore. Yesterday, after a few tests, I found it was due to the kernel version, so I tried to reinstall my first ArchLinux (Linux 3.13.5-1-ARCH) : it worked, my wifi was back. The problem was that I couldn't reinstall all my stuffs : so I did a full-system upgrade (knowing I will lose my wifi) and now I just want to fix it once and for all (I'm done dealing with it).
So now, your help would be very appreciated. Does anyone have an idead? Or need more details about my config, my laptop, or whatever?

When I do a

this is what I obtain :

link/ether 6e:d6:2d:5c:29:bd brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
I started reading this page but am not sure if it is relevant due to the fact it concerns the 3.8.2B version.
Finally, a
more /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
gives me the following output :
^C[nugetchar@arch ~]$ more /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
alias floppy off
blacklist fd0
blacklist floppy
blacklist ipv6
blacklist bcma
blacklist pcspkr
blacklist snd_pcsp
I think I need to unblacklist bcma ?
@ewaller : I just saw you reply, here is the output for ls /lib/modules
[nugetchar@arch ~]$ ls /lib/modules
3.15.8-1-ARCH extramodules-3.13-ARCH extramodules-3.15-ARCH
Thank you for your answers, I really appreciate it

[SOLVED] Starting Full System Upgrade... There Is Nothing To Do

"Starting Full System Upgrade... There Is Nothing To Do" is the only message I have ever seen when using pacman -Syu. I have no problem installing files but pacman cannot seem to EVER find updates to anything. Even when I know that a package has been updated in the repositories, pacman never acknowledges it. Some examples of applications are:
Python2 - Installed - 2.6.5-3, Available - 2.7.1-4
Geany - Installed 0.19-1, Available - 0.20-1
Pacman - Installed 3.4.0-2, Available - 3.4.2-1
Even if I try to specify the repository, for Geany for instance, "pacman -S community/geany", it still sees it as up-to-date.
It's quite possible that I'm going about something the wrong way but I don't ever recall the system actually finding updates (since June). My pacman.conf looks as follows:
MOD EDIT -- Please use code tags to display any output and of files -- Inxsible
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also try to read the wiki about pacman and mirrorlist. Simply uncommenting multiple mirrors does not give you the ability to get packages from all of them. pacman will connect to each one in order. If it can connect to the first one and see that pacman is available it does not connect to the next mirror to see if some other mirror has an updated version of not.
It connects to the next mirror if and only if a certain package is not available on the first mirror or the mirror itself is down.

Hi,
It seems one of your physical archive file is not there...
but to explore more first paste your backup command that you are using.

so I did a "pacman -Qt" to look for orphans and this is the result.

[SOLVED] GNOME is messed up after full system upgrade

I ran a full system upgrade today (last one was about 1-2 months ago) and it went smoothly.
Everything boots normally, and my default GNOME desktop also boots, but all the icons are messed up, as can be seen in this screenshot.
And worst, the overlay panel (e.g. when pressing the Windows key) is completely b0rked and unusable.
The GNOME desktop is the default one with no modifications that I know of. I tried searching for existing issues but didn't find any.
I'm running Intel Graphics on:
$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
Any ideas?

While typing the post, I bumped into https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gn … ncorrectly
After setting and re-setting my monitor resolution, things seem to fall back into place.
Looks like I'll use the scaling factor hack for a permanent fix.

# pacman -Syu ### This ran as expected.
All I wanted was to have the simplest use of the Nvidia proprietary driver. So I followed https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … any_kernel
So what I gather from the discussion here is that this (nvidia-dkms) should only be used for custom kernels? And the topic should be a sub topic of https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … tom_kernel? Is that right?
Thanks for you help.

Starting full system upgrade... there is nothing to do

Just finished my Install of Arch and I can't seem to update anything it just gives me "Starting full system upgrade...
there is nothing to do"
I tried pacman -Syy and it syncs my repos and I've checked and I do have packages that are out of date so they should upodate. My mirrors are also not out of date, I just checked them

Please paste the pull output pacman -S openbox. I think you'll find something along the lines of:
warning: openbox-3.5.0-7 is up to date -- reinstalling
The following will tell you which version you have installed
$ pacman -Q openbox
The current version is 3.5.0-7, which you can see here: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … 4/openbox/

X do not start after full system upgrade - [SOLVED]

hi all,
i did a full system upgrade yesterday, and after that, arch doesn't start..
the error itself:
X: error while loading shared libraries: libgcc_s.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
any help on this? want to get off of bloated ubuntu

I have the same issue also. Something told me not to reboot but I did because I wanted to use my rt-kernel.
yes, please help because I too have to use Ubuntu-Studio and SuSE's JAD. Both way too bloated and not as fast as Arch..
I tried to fix the xorg.conf but nothing.

When installing a system upgrade, do i need to backup my files, photos, etc. first?

When installing a system upgrade, do i need to backup my files, photos, etc. first?

No, you don't need to, but it is highly recommended. Upgrades can fail, the computer may fail, the may be a power outage, etc. Never be without a current backup. Never upgrade until after you make a backup.
I recommend making a bootable backup by cloning:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
it to the Destination entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.

Full System Upgrade: pacman -Syyu

When I use that command, it asks me if I want to replace iwiwfi and rt2x00-cvs with kernel26. Am I supposed to hit yes on these? Cause when I do it can't resolve the dependencies because archboot used both of them. So I am trying it with no while I wait for a response. Thanks in advance.

You should file a bug for archboot. It should no longer depend on these packages as they a build into the kernel.
My suggestion:
pacman -R archboot
pacman -Syu
pacman -Sd archboot
That will remove archboot, upgrade your system and install archboot while ignoring dependancy problems.

Problem when performing a system recovery on Envy 15 1050nr

I have a problem when peforming a factory reset using the recovery discs (3 discs) I created shortly after I purchased the laptop.
when the recovery process gets to 83%, it gives me the error below :
"Recovery Manager could not restore your computer. Please contact HP support. Error code: 0xe0f00013"
I ran HD self test, which doesnt show any problems.
I have tried the solution in this thread http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Recovery/quot-BOOTMGR-is-missing-quot/m-p/1066739/highlight/tr..., but it doesn't work.
can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in advance
Leon

The simplest way to reinstall iPhoto and iMovie is to download Pacifist and then extract the relevant applications from the Software Restore Discs.
Pacifist comes with instructions; this is not a difficult operation and there is no need for erase & install to recover the applications.
Pacifist is Shareware, but you need not pay the fee in order to use it. Every time that you open Pacifist you will be prompted to purchase a licence. If you feel that Pacifist is worth the money (and I think that it is), you can purchase a licence at any stage.
If you're a plonker like me, then purchasing a licence will provide justification for third party developers like CharlesSoft to save the day for the rest of us.
Good luck!

Wireshark dependency causing system upgrade problem

Here's what is happening:
jeff ~ | sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core 31.4K 132.4K/s 00:00:00 [#####################] 100%
extra 413.7K 558.3K/s 00:00:01 [#####################] 100%

resolving dependencies...
error: cannot resolve "heimdal>=1.2.1", a dependency of "wireshark"
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: wireshark: requires heimdal>=1.2.1
I checked to see what version of heimdal is available to install with "pacman -Si", and the current version is 1.2-2, which is lower than what wireshark requires. Do I have to wait until heimdal 1.2.1 is pushed into the repos before I can update my system, or is there another solution?

Xyne wrote:There's no nasty tone to this question, I'm just curious: Why do packages get moved to the official repos before their dependencies are ready? Doesn't that just create problems for upgrades and prevent users who might need to install the package in that little window of dependency hell? What's the reasoning? Is it just for the packager's convenience?
What happened here was that in the testing repo there were packages rebuilt for libpcap and packages rebuilt against heimdal. However, wireshark was rebuilt against both libpcap and heimdal. Because of an oversight, the libpcap rebuild was moved out of testing without realizing that wireshark depended on the heimdal wich was still in testing. We try to avoid these missing dependency problems but sometime mistakes are made.
Xyne wrote:Follow-up question: Would it be possible (read: reasonable) to create some pkg queue system that moves ready packages into the official repos once their dependencies are solved?
I'm not sure if it's possible as packages are moved manually.
When there are library soname bump, we rebuild all packages that needs it to the best of our knowledge but it can happen that we forget a few. Sometime the package that needs to be rebuilt doesn't have the dependency listed, especially when it comes to dependencies on core packages, so we miss it. In this case, a queue system would do nothing. We just need users to report them on the bug tracker
