Does Pacman Have A Command To Check For Left Over Dependencies?

Does pacman have a command to check for left over dependencies?
I know that when you remove something it's checking for dependencies and I've seen it show these before, but I swear I removed something that had dependencies and it don't show any and just removed only the single program.
So basically I wanted to know if there are any pacman cmds like this to check the system with and clean it up?
THANKS
P.S. I didn't notice anything like this in the Wiki, only for cleaning out the cache....

Also I'm not your noob or your boy, I'm a middle age man that's been using Linux 10 years, running a Slack box most packages and kernel all custom compiled only running OpenBox...
So next time you want to start telling people to do the basic research before posting, stop and think that maybe they've done it already.
Again, there was no evidence of you having done any research: without evidence there is no reason to assume what the observed behaviour contradicts...
So I've RTFM, just be careful with your choice of words and attitude, being the MOD doesn't give you rights to SPIT on people!
Your perception about being insulted is your own - my post contains nothing insulting or offensive, just a very clear answer to your question.
P.S. And if you were being nice in your odd sort of way I also don't appreciate it, because when we gone out and done the research and overlooked something we have every right to come here and ask and not be told like you've done.
You have every right to ask questions; we have every right to insist that you follow the Forum Etiquette when doing so: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … ow_to_Post
No you didn't reply which you could of simply done, or asked if I read the Wiki which would of been the proper thing, not telling me to RTFM!
I'm like this at times because I've seen it all to often....
Next time before telling someone, ask them, in case they forget to mention it to you...
Anyhow let's move on....
P.S. So I can remove those packages without a problem?

All of a sudden my iphone stopped charging and you can't hear the music through my ihome iH150 when I connect it to the dock, what can I do to fix the ihome? The ihome does turn on and I already checked for dock possible problems and I don't see anything.

I also have to add that the right earbud only doesn't work on my phone while i'm listening to music. If I'm face timing it's okay. what the heck.

Error: does not have program associated with it for performing this action
We have done the following: open Default programs, clicked associate a file type, clicked on change program button and selected a program to open with and clicked OK/enter.
The installation continues. we get to the finish window; click finish.
Next error: iTunes has been installed incorrectly.
So, what do we do to get iTunes working?
Thank you.

I have Firefox set to check for updates but do not install, just notify. WHen I start Yahoo email, F automatically downloads and updates anyway.

I have FF set to check for but do not install updates. When I start yahoo email, FF automatically instals updates. I am only user/administartor. How do I make this stop? It is messing up other programs - destroyed my Norton security.

Usually, the "notify" setting works fine. I don't know whether having Yahoo as the home page makes a difference. ??
Updates are available for your Norton add-ons. Please see this article: [http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Toolbar-Norton-Identity/Firefox-15-Support-for-Norton-Toolbar/td-p/791174 Firefox 15 Support for Norton Toolbar - Norton Community].
(Firefox probably can't find those automatically because the updates arrive through Norton LiveUpdate instead of the Mozilla add-ons site.)

Does iTunes have any hidden picture controls for video playback (e.g. contrast, brightness) ?

Does iTunes have any hidden picture controls for video playback (e.g. contrast, brightness) ?
I haven’t been able to find any.
Since the .m4v file type appears to prevent any video bought or rented from the iTunes Store from being played using any other program the lack of these picture controls - if indeed they are lacking - make it seriously deficient as a video player.

Thanks for the rapid response to my enquiry.
I know that it’s possible to adjust the monitor’s performance via System Preferences but it is rather long-winded and I’d rather not alter the settings for the entire screen (and then have to change them all back once finished) when it’s only the video playback window that needs adjustment.
Since iTunes provides various options using the Equalizer for adjusting sound playback it seems rather odd that they don’t have a similar panel for video.
Regarding QuickTime.
Apparently earlier versions (such as 7) had picture controls but the current version (10.4) does not.
I assume Apple are phasing out QT whose development seems to have stopped - or rather gone backwards since it now lacks capabilities it once had - and intend in future to treat iTunes as their universal media player which no doubt makes sense from their point of view.
I wasn’t aware of the .m4v file type when I made my first and probably last video purchase via iTunes yesterday and didn’t realise that it would restrict my options for playback so completely.
The experience has really put me off buying any additional video from the iTunes Store.

Either add a credit card or maybe another payment method will work
or
Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

Does Arch have any tool to check what services needs restart?

Does Arch have any tool to check what services needs restart after software update just like `checkrestart` from Debian flavoured distros or `needs-restarting` from Red Hat ones?

Maybe there is some other temporary file that is not a library but deleted that slips through. I got my awk version now to replace my old hack code.
__pids="$(sudo lsof -F pfn |
awk '
/^n/{
# if this file is a deleted library or binary, show it
if (del == 1 && match($0, "bin|lib")) {
print pid;
del=0;
del = 0;
/^fDEL$/{
# the next file is deleted
del = 1;
/^p/{
# we check a new process
del = 0
pid = substr($0, 2)
}' |
sort -un |
paste -sd ' '
)" && [ -n "$__pids" ] && ps -p "$__pids" && unset __pids || unset __pids
Edit: Reorder logic, don't execute ps if no processes are found.

Why does it take so long to check for updates?

I have my setting to not auto download because of my limited satellite IP. But when I go to check the App store for updates it just sits there spinning apparently using up my download allowance. I am beginning to think Apples don't belong on Satellites.
MacPro with upgraded Mountain Lion

I have machines on both platforms and am well aware of amount of updates. What I was wondering about is an issue I have when trying to check for updates, the length of time it takes to connect with the update server. I realize though it may be a "satellite" problem not experienced by DSL users.
But I am surprised that Apple doesn't provide an "inhouse" download scheduler given the size of many of their downloads (considerably larger than the average MS download)

Does sharepoint have an opt out button for email soliciting

does program have an opt out button for prospective clients to stop emails from coming to them. I want a data program that will sort and email clients, but have an opt out button So they can decline emails for future and also I need to know myself
so I can move them from the list. what program does this. thanks for your help

Hi,
From your description, my understanding is that you wonder if there is a button in SharePoint site UI
to let your users reject mails.
As you know SharePoint send/receive mails via SMTP server, thus SharePoint cannot prevent users from receiving mails directly. You should set some settings in SMTP server to accomplish your requirement.
If you use outlook, you could create rule in it by referring to this article:

Does anyone have a set of .VIs for talking to a generic modem?

Hi and thanks for reading.
I don't want to have to know AT commands, just what I want to do. Such as go off hook, dial a number, wait for answer etc.

Stan,
Maybe the attached VI will help. This VI library contains utilities to talk via the serial port to a modem. Sending standard Hayes-compatible AT commands to the modem allow it to dial a number, send data, hang up, etc.
If you have the Internet Toolkit, it assumes you already have a valid TCP/IP connection. However, many web browsers such as Netscape and Internet Explorer have auto-dialing options that will start dial-up networking automatically when you launch your browser. The only trouble is that the auto-dial wizards can require the user to push buttons, but there is a Shareware program called DUNCE which will take care of the button pushes for you in the auto-dial wizards so the user does not have to intervene in the dial-up process.
You can la
unch the browser from LV and then have the browser configured for auto-dial and that should take care of the problem. I did not actually try this out myself, but in theory, it should work.

Does pacman have a verify mode or something similar?

I took my arch drive and an old pata drive to my dad's machine because my machine doesn't have any pata ports (just got a new one) and I needed to get stuff off the old drive. I unplugged my dad's hard drive and plugged my drives in, but did so without realising the machine was asleep and not actually off. So there goes windows trying to wake up. 2 seconds later it BSODs and writes a memory dump to the drive, which I think may have broken my system somehow because now after rebooting my dad's machine and copying over all the files I need (had to boot to arch on my flash drive) I brought my arch drive back to my machine and now /sbin/init won't start because it is "accessing a corrupted shared library" and that causes a kernel panic ("tried to kill init"). So I've now booted off my arch flash drive again and mounted my arch drive in the hopes of fixing it. So I need some way of getting pacman to reinstall everything somehow, and I was hoping there was a command line switch like other package managers have that will verify any packages installed on the system.
TL;DR I somehow broke some library on my machine and now I get a kernel panic on boot because init is accessing a corrupted shared library, and I need to use pacman to hopefully reinstall that library.
My plan was to just pacman --root /mnt -Syy && pacman --root /mnt -Syu but I don't think that's sufficient.
EDIT: I tried reinstalling glibc, that gave an error about libreadline being corrupt so I tried to reinstall that, that threw an error about libncursesw.so.5 being corrupt, so I reinstalled that. That finally ran fine, but now when trying to reinstall readline it upgrades according to pacman then says "command failed to execute correctly". I also just tried pacstrap /mnt base base-devel and my screen is now being spammed by some weird characters. Think it's a format and reinstall for me

No, I have no idea what it was spamming (looked like %059 or something like that, or a slash with a bunch of numbers that just kept repeating) but no kernel panic. Loads of library errors though.
I've now got pacman --root /mnt -Syf base base-devel running which is redownloading all the packages just in case. If all these libraries are broken it probably means all the others are broken too, which means I'm pretty much reinstalling anyway. I only installed arch 2 days ago, lol.
EDIT: Still not working, loads of library errors and "cannot execute binary file" errors. All of these things should have been overwritten by pacman, so this is probably a disk error or something. I ran fsck before everything and that corrected some stuff but it's still broken somehow. I'll just have to format and reinstall I suppose.
