HAI (Home Arch Install) - install packages without root account
HAI, or Home Arch Install, can "install" and run Arch Linux programs from your normal user account. (Even if you don't run Arch Linux at all - see the config file.)
HAI's design is heavily inspired by Zero Install, but it uses Arch Linux packages instead of a new package format. This means you can make use of Arch's extensive package database, right now.
HAI follows the KISS and worse-is-better philosophies. HAI is implemented as a set of specialized bash scripts, with under 500 lines of code in total, so it's not that hard to read, understand and extend.
HAI doesn't really install the packages it downloads - it uses fakechroot and unionfs-fuse to fool the program you run into thinking it's installed in /usr.
Quick start guide:
1. Download HAI from http://www.smnd.sk/tomi/hai/hai-1.1.tar.gz . (The address might eventually change, so please don't link to it directly.)
2. HAI doesn't need system-wide installation. Just unpack it somewhere.
3. Put this in your ~/.bashrc file: "alias hai=~/your/directory/with/hai". This allows you to run hai without typing the path.
4. Run "./bootstrap" from HAI's directory. This downloads dependencies HAI itself needs. (You need FUSE already installed, though.)
5. Try it:
hai bwm-ng
hai frozen-bubble
hai pysolfc pysolfc-cardsets -- pysol
hai inkscape -- inkscape somefile.svg
# in general: hai (what packages to install) -- (what program to run)
HAI comes with a README.txt file. You really should read it, it's short and if you've read this far, you already know most of it.
I've been working on HAI for two months and it's finally reached a state bug-free and elegant enough that it satisfies my prefectionism. I developed HAI to scratch my own itch, but please tell me if you try HAI, or perhaps even find it useful! I'd also like to know about any bugs you experience or feature requests you might have. If you find something in the documentation that could use clarifying, tell me as well.
(Update 2010-05-11: hai-1.1 fixes a bug when downloading from AUR and switches from tar to bsdtar, because tar acts up when downloading xz-compressed packages. For now, bsdtar has to be installed on the local system.)

Oops, didn't notice your reply, tavianator. Thanks for the bug reports!
vercmp: That's what I get for assuming libalpm won't change its internal layout... it was working at the time of HAI's release. Thanks for the fix.
rsync: I use it to get the fakechroot PKGBUILD. I could download the whole ABS tree through http, but most of the time it would be a waste... I'll try to think of a compromise.
Using HAI on distros other than Arch isn't very streamlined, though this is something I hope to improve. The SYSTEM_CHECK in the config file needs changing. (It's a program that checks if a package is already installed on the machine.) This line should work (it was tested on Mandriva, which uses rpm too):
SYSTEM_CHECK='local sysver; sysver=`rpm -qa | grep "^\(\|lib\)$requestname" | sort | grep -o "[^-]*-[^-]*$" | grep -o "^[^-]*"` || true; [ "$sysver" ] && version-ok "$sysver" && true'
Update on rsync: The PKGBUILD is in http://repos.archlinux.org/wsvn/package … dl&isdir=1 too, but that link can easily change if Arch switched from websvn to someting else. I'd appreciate a second opinion whether to use rsync or this link.

Hi!
I accidently installed a couple of applications when i was logged in as root.
Is there a way to make the root account as it is from the beginning without installing arch all over again?RaisedFist wrote:Still, all packages are installed as root. If he means he was running some apps with root, then he has to switch back to his user and just start the application.
Exactly, unless root holds permissions to some files that need to be read by those apps - they won't run then.
Let's wait for the OP to respond what exactly the problem is and what are the symptoms :-) -
Installing packages without confirmation
Pretty much what the title says.
I want to write a script that downloads and installs packages without the need to confirm that I want to install those.
I couldn't find anything in the wiki or the man page about this, could it still be done?
Or do I have to submit a feature request?Inxsible wrote:
man pacman wrote:
--noconfirm
Bypass any and all “Are you sure?” messages. It’s not a good idea to do this unless you want to run pacman from a script.
Oh, I didn't see that at all, sorry about that.
Thank you. -
How extract Solaris package without root privilege
Hi!
Is there any way to extract files from Solaris package file (.pkg) without root privilege?
Like I can do it for rpm: rpm2cpio foo-2.0.i386.rpm | cpio -ivmudYou can use 'pkgtrans':
Syntax:
pkgtrans <package> <destination directory>

How to allow users to launch SMC; login to SMC without root account
I've very familliar with how to create accounts and assign members to groups and assign privliges in Solairs 10 using SMC. I want a user to review the audit logs using the SMC console since the logs are GUI but I don't want the user to use the root account to login to SMC. I know the user can use the su command but I can only login with root after typing su and then launch SMC.
Bottom line what is the best way a user can use the SMC console without having the root password to execute SMC and then login to SMC and view the audit logs?
A million thanks
JohnI found the best solution is to use a Role Based Access Control (RBAC). Using SMC as root go the the Role Icon and setup a Role using the wizzard. Next have the user login to the system, go to the terminal and type:
/usr/sadm/bin/smc &
The individual user will be prompted to login with his specific user name and password and then prompted to use the Role Login Name and Password you provided in the above paragraph.
Now the user can perform SMC functions without the need for root. -
How to install packages from removable media?
I'm pretty damn sure that i missed some wiki page, but i cannot find it, how do i install packages without an internet connection. I installed on one of my computers, then realized i needed to install the wireless drivers after the install, which i cannot. I can ofcourse reinstall, but i believe there must be a possibility to make pacman install a bunch of packages from USB or a cd. I do have internet at my other computer, so i can download the packages there onto a usb-stick.
Hi,
you should try
pacman -U /path/to/package.pkg.tar.gz
I haven't tried this but that's the way one would manually install a package build with PKGBUILD and "made" with makepkg.
Hope that helps. -
How to install from existing linux without root privilege?
We have a ubuntu server for develop in our company and I have a account. I am more familiar with archlinux. However, I can't just tell the system administrator to replace ubuntu with arch, since that would break everything. And I do not have root privilege. So I am wondering would it possible to install archlinux in the home directory, and use it like a virtual machine?
DSpider wrote:
Pacman needs root privileges (sudo) to work.
So if sudo works for you, then you have root privileges.
Maybe fakeroot or fakechroot?
Trilby wrote:
Ubuntu + pacman != arch.
If you are able/allowed to reboot the machine, you certainly can install arch on a flash drive and have your portable system that you would run on their hardware.
I am asking something different. I want to run arch on another linux.
ewaller wrote:
So, as a user on the system, you should be able to install anything you want to your home directory.
What, specifically, would you like to install to your home directory that you can run with plain user permissions without causing impact to other users. I am confused as to what you think you want to do..
Something like, install software (including pacman) to home directory via pacman. Start a server by rc.d (I think in this case, sys-V is better than systemd).
For example, I could run this command in ubuntu without root permission, and that ubuntu server didn't install mysql.
$ pacman -S mysql
$ rc.d start mysqld
$ #Or "systemstl start mysqld.service" -
Using pacman to install packages into a seperate root
After working with an Arch Linux machine for 1-2 years I switched jobs and was given a Mac, which I've enjoyed so far.
I would, however, like to switch back to Arch Linux but there's something that I've been able to do on Mac OS X using its unofficial package manager Homebrew (http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/) which I was wondering if it were possible with pacman.
Typically you have one installation of Homebrew, at /usr/local, and by running 'brew' (/usr/local/brew) it knows that its root is at /usr/local & looks there for all dependencies & installs packages there. If, however, you install homebrew elsewhere (could be the first or a second installation), for instance ~/sw, then running brew from there will install packages in that root.
I've found this very useful to install package specific to a project I'm working on (specific vendor & version of DB, specific web server etc) without having to install them globally on my system and at the same time without having to resort to installing everything by hand (including dipendencies).
Is this possible with Pacman?
Thanks in advance,
Dalethis wiki isn't entirely related, but can be helpful.

Ability to install Studio 10 without root privileges
My group is currently using Forte Developer 6 to develope on Sun Blade 2500 machines running Solaris 8. I would like to use the trial version of Sun Studio 10 to show my group the performance improvements recieved by upgrading compilers. I've downloaded the install packages, but found that root privileges are required to run the install (even when trying to install in my own workspace). Is there any way I can install Studio 10 without having root privileges? I work for a fairly large company where it is almost impossible to get root privileges even for developer machines to do any install. Finding someone who does have root privileges and is willing to do the install seems even more difficult. Anyway, any and all help would be greatly appreciated!
Unfortunately, root privileges are required for installing, updating, or uninstalling any available release of Sun Studio. The reason is that the product is installed as packages, which requires root privileges to update the Solaris package database. Using packages and root-only access ensures that an installation is identifiable and consistent (except for mistakes made by people with root access). Supporiting the product is difficult when there is no way to know what is actually installed.
Nevertheless, the ability to install as an ordinary user is a frequently-requested feature. We are looking a ways to provide this capability in a future release. -
In arch, can we install krita without koffice?
Well... just that...
in arch, can we install krita without all the other apps of koffice?
Currently I want to try/use features in krita, not the other apps of koffice...
any idea?
Last edited by luuuciano (2007-05-29 22:58:11)If someone wants to split koffice and is willing to keep it maintained, we can host the packages + a svn repo for the PKGBUILDs on the server where KDEmod resides...
Splitting should be easy. Just check the output of configure, at some point it says "Checking if krita should be compiled" for example. At this point you can see every app/component that can be splitted into a single package.
To split koffice you need to set the DO_NOT_COMPILE shell variable. For KDEmod we split every single app but keep the libs/docs/shared things in a so called base package called kdetoys-base for example. Here is an example of a base package and an inherent splitted one.
If someone wants to do this, just contact me

Install JMQ into other directory than /opt/sun/ without root user possible?
hi *,
i just wanted to know if there is the possibility to install JMQ 4.1 in a custom directory?
AND is there the possibility to install the JMQ server without root?
we do have several embedded JMQ servers inside sun appserver that do not need root or a specific directory why should the standalone version need this?
regards chrisThere is no non-root install available on Solaris or Linux with SJSMQ. (we are looking into it, but we have been waiting for a new packaging system to come out as a side-effect of Solaris 11 which would handle installation in non-root locations, management of packages and patching).
We are also investigating making the packages re-locatable in the next release (so you would still have to be root but you could cleanly install into export or some other location). However this requires generating a whole new bundle of packages and later patches (the current layout is dictated by the fact that we have older releases which ship included in the solaris operating system)
At the moment ...
On Solaris, you can install SJSMQ as root into another directory (using the -R flag to pkgadd) however the installed directory structure looks a bit nasty (since it would look have paths something like /export/mq/usr/share/lib/imq/props/config.props)
On openMQ, we do have a tar based bundle which can be installed on any system (not as root). The downside is that it is not supported and can not be patched. -
[No need]Reducing number of post-install packages (fresh Arch + XFCE)
Hi,
I am inspired by posts by slithery in post-install package count; his discussion here and my willingness to follow-foot steps. Need suggestions/tips what packages can be removed based on details below.
1. Defining usage:
Normal PC having XFCE, thunderbird, firefox, yaourt and wine (for MS-Office with 32bit libs unfortunately needed for work) with 64-bit stock kernel. Other utilities include eog (image viewer), PDF viewer, cups, simple-scan, hplip + hplip plugin, dvd burner and some fonts packages.
I have attempted to remain native on XFCE while installing utilities/needs to avoid unnecessary dependencies unless some functionality needed (such as eog).
2. Current package count
[archpc ~]$ pacman -Qe | wc -l
143
[archpc ~]$ pacman -Q | wc -l

5. Packages removable IMO
More could be possible based on suggestions, but IMHO and is it safe?:
|Package Name | Reason |
|---------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------
|man-db 2.7.1-1 | For me: Wiki, Google and Forums are > what I need. |
|man-pages 3.81-1 | For me: Wiki, Google and Forums are > what I need. |
|xterm | xfce4-terminal is installed so is it needed? |
|reiserfsprogs | No need for reiser FS support (if it is what package does). |
|jfsutils | No need for JFS support. |
|xfsprogs | No need for XFS support. |
|lvm2 | I think no need for logical VM (but not sure). |
|mdadm | I think no need for md devices monitoring/managing. ]
|---------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------
|xfwm4-themes | No big fan of theming unless required for XFCE. |
|btrfs-progs | No need for btrfs support (if it is what package does). |
|ipw2100-fw | No need for Intel centrino drivers. |
|ipw2200-fw | No need for Intel PRO/wireless. |
|zd1211-firmware | I think no need for in-kernel26 zd1211rw wireless driver. |
6. Please guide what further can be removed.
Thank you for time.
Update: Del packages are already removed based on learning/thread discussion so far.

When installing Arch, the install packages error's and says 'could not
I am trying to install Arch on virtual box but when I try to run install packages (base+base-devel) it always throws 'installation failed'. When I look for the problem, it says 'could not satisfy depencies.'.
Prior to this, Arch had problems in downloading few packages from a mirror but it seems to have gotten every package when I tried several different mirrors.
Screenshot of the problem: http://i.imgur.com/7KWAk.png
I have checked the mirror status from here http://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status/ and tried following mirrors:
ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/
ftp://mirror.archlinux.fi/archlinux/
ftp://ftp.lysator.liu.se/pub/archlinux/
http://mirror.academica.fi/archlinux/Check the md5 of the image, and check your vbox settings, so that you have enough hdd and mem, and that the partitions are big enough and then install base(+base-devel if wanted) and don't enable any of the repos other than the local core repo, and this should work, as i've tested the images many times latelly...
Edit: I see from your screenshot that you're downgrading alot of packages e.g. kernel 3.1.5 to 3.0.3, and that must be because you've first tried installing from the net, and then when something failed, you've gone back and deselected net-install and choosed to install from local core repo, which would do that then, so my advice is simply to start over(reboot), or again remake your blockdevices, so there's insn't allready a bunch of packages with wrong versions installed...

[SOLVED] Advice for Arch install with rEFInd dual boot Lenovo laptop?
I am trying to plan an Arch install on a new laptop for dual boot with Windows 8.1, but I know there is a potential to cause huge problems so I have been trying to read and learn about the hard disk partition structure and how I might install the rEFInd boot files so that I am still able to boot Windows once Arch is installed. (Unfortunately for some tasks such as updating the maps on my satnav box Windows is essential). However I am really quite unsure if I am doing the right thing in the way I am thinking about the Arch install so I would appreciate any help from experts on the forum.
The laptop is a Lenovo IdeaPad Y510p which came with Windows 8 pre-installed, with the option to upgrade to Windows 8.1. The upgrade was completed without issue and I then looked into the question of hard drive partitions and boot. I had read posts on the Ubuntu forums about users who had installed Ubuntu on this same laptop and ended up being unable to boot Windows afterwards so I wanted to tread very carefully before executing anything which might cause really major damage. I had also read on the Lenovo forums replies about people who had replaced the hard drive and installed linux only to find that they could not boot to the recovery partitions, with replies from Lenovo moderators saying that if the partition structure had been changed then the laptop would have to be sent back to Lenovo for a factory repair.
On this laptop to get into the bios or boot options you do not just press the power button and hit an F key, but instead there is a special small "OneKey Recovery" button next to the power jack, which opens up with options for BIOS setup and boot options as well as normal boot or recovery. This OneKey Recovery button is therefore needed to boot a usbkey - the power button only allows it to boot to windows presumably until/unless a different bootloader and NVRAM entry is amended.
I have done all the initial ( safe!)changes necessary to move to the point at which I can execute the Arch install. From within Windows (switched off fastboot, and shrunk the "C:" drive to make space for linux partitions). I have also switched off Secure Boot from the BIOS, and made sure that Windows still boots up fine.
The current arch install iso (February 2014) boots under uefi just fine - and of course once booted I have access to the gdisk programme. That certainly showed the pre-existing partitions on the drive (8 partitions with partition number 2 being the EFI partition, and three recovery partitions!) with a GPT partition table, and it should therefore be possible to make the necessary new linux partitions in the now unallocated space on the disk that was freed up with the internal disk management facility within Windows 8.1. So at that point I created three partitions for a root partition (type 8300), a swap partition (type 8200) and another type 8300 partition which will become /opt in the installed Arch system.
In order to try and not make any changes to the partition structure I let the three new linux partitions be number 9, 10 and 11.
I am told that for a GPT disk it is a definite no-no to try to create more than one EFI partition. So I will need to use the existing EFI partition to place the rEFInd files and the kernel once I install Arch.
In this (Y510p) laptop the EFI partition contains the following structure:
BOOT/ - containing only boot.sdi
BOOTSECT.BAK
EFI/ which contains two directories Boot/ and Microsoft/
so EFI/Boot/ contains only Boot64.efi which is likely a fallback copy of the Windows 8.1 bootloader
and EFI/Microsoft/ contains a Boot/ directory - so
EFI/Microsoft/Boot/ contains loads of language specific directories like en-GB/
plus bootmgfw.efi (which I believe is the Windows main efi loader file)
bootmgr.efi
memtest.efi
The scheme that I am planning to use which I have previously used in pure Arch uefi machines, is that /boot is a directory in the root partition, /. That way /boot is an ext4 directory and will contain the kernel and initramfs plus the rEFInd linux config file.
Then I can mount the EFI (vfat) partition as /boot/efi and so I can then make a /boot partition under /. Then the EFI /BOOT/ directory would be seen in Linux as /boot/efi/BOOT/ and the Windows efi stuff would be in /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/Microsoft/Boot/ in which case I would presume that I have to make a new directory in /boot/efi/EFI/refind/ and put the refind stuff including the filesystem drivers there, and let the kernel go into the (ext4) /boot/ directory which would be preferred! However I am not 100% confident that this is what will work and I need to read more before trying to do the install. The thing that concerns me is how the system will handle the uefi boot process, and whether it would auto-detect the Windows efi file as well as the Arch refind efi file once the system has started up?
... and then there is the issue of the NVRAM entries and I am no longer confident that if I use the usual tools to create an entry (efiboomgr or bcfg), that I will get a successful dual boot system!
There is still a chance that I would irrevocably damage being able to boot to the Windows and Recovery partition boot options by messing up the EFI and/or the NVRAM so I have to tread very very carefully with this.
If anyone has gone through this kind of dual boot install with a Windows 8 or 8.1 machine using rEFInd for the bootloader, and can offer advice or help here I would very much appreciate it. I have another pure Arch system which uses rEFInd that works extremely well, but it seems that dual boot with uefi is a rather more complex animal than a pure linux system!

When there is an update to the rEFInd package you need to copy the files across to your ESP from the files contained in /usr/share/refind/ usually you need to copy the refind_x64.efi binary as well as the icons, fonts, and drivers directories. Since there is flexibility in how you configure the kernel and initrd files in terms of where they are located whether you need to do anything else when a new kernel update arrives depends on how you set your system up. If you have the /boot directory as your ESP partition which will then have the kernel and initrd files updated by default then there no need to do anything else when there is a kernel update. If the ESP is then at /boot/EFI and within that is your refind/ directory then that is where the replacement files go if refind-efi gets a pacman update. So it is actually fairly straight forward. If you configure rEFInd to look for kernels in some other directory than /boot/ then you may need to copy the files there after a kernel update but there is more information in the arch wiki about this.
During a refind-efi package update there are helpful files in the pacman output (and log) reminding you of what you need to do. eg for the latest refind-efi update you get:

I hope that helps.
By the way you can also boot uefi using grub and in fact you can get rEFInd to chainload grub as a backup bootloader as an added safety factor and have both rEFInd as well as grub installed simultaneously. How that can be done is explained in the thread at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=181906
