How it is possible to go back in terms of installing package

I installed all the packages at the time of first install whereas it is recommended to install only base packages, even though I knew I would not be needing most of the packages. Is there any way to go back to basic installation state without completely formating and reinstaling? That way I will get a lot of junk out of my hard disk.
Thanks in advance
Ravi S Ghosh :shock:

pacman -Q > /tmp/list.txt
go through and remove what you don't want
pacman -Qe will show orphaned packages

  • How do I return Font Book back to it's install condition?

    I accidently dropped a couple of thousand fonts into Font Book. (Big clumsy hands, me)
    What is the best way to get Font Book back to it's install default condition?
    I will get TimeMachine up and running - next time I won't have this problem.

    Success. But if there is a next time around I will trash them directly from the Fonts folder in my user folder, as it took an age (overnight) for Font Book to delete them.
    Now, where did I put that Time Machine tutorial ... ?

  • How do I migrate from KDEMOD back to Arch's KDE package?

    I've been a fan of KDEMOD for a long time, now that they are phasing it out, I'm kinda stuck in the limbo and would like to move to Arch's KDE package, is there a seamless way that you guys can recommend while keeping my KDE configurations?
    Thanks!

    I would back up your ~/.kde4
    cp -vR ~/.kde4 ~./kde4bak
    In theory you should be able to comment out the kdemod repos in pacman.conf and then run
    pacman -Syyuu
    to refresh the databases and downgrade from kdemod.
    You should then be able to install KDE from [extra] or [kde-unstable] if the latter is enabled
    You might also want to get a list of installed KDEmod packages to know what KDE packages to get

  • How can I get my apps back after recovery and installing ios 8?

    I have updated my phone a couple of hours ago. Luckily all my photos, contacts, notes, messages... they are all here. But I don't have any of my old apps. Where can I restore them? Please don't tell me I have to download one by one again Most of them were free anyway, except for Whatsapp. And I tried going to app store, then clicking purchased and i don't find any apps there either. Please help?

    Open iTunes. Connect your phone. Select your phone when you see it under Devices heading in iTunes' sidebar. In the main window select the Apps tab. All the apps you have stored in iTunes will be displayed. You will also have a list of the installed and uninstalled apps showing in a scrollable list. Scroll through the list and select all those you want installed. Then sync your phone using the Sync button.

    When you installed iTunes on your work computer, then connected your iPad to that computer, it wiped what was on the iPad, then put the iTunes library (nothing) from the work computer onto the iPad. You can try copying the iTunes folder from your home computer over to your work computer, but since the apps were bought with a different account, they may not load or update properly.

  • HT1766 Hi, i have my whatsapp backup in icloud and now i want to download it on my pc? how is it possible?

    Hi, i have my whatsapp backup in icloud and now i want to download it on my pc? how is it possible?

    You should be able to install it on your PC simply by installing it.  You should only need the serial number from your purchase to activate it.  If you didn't purchase it as an upgrade, then you should be able to install it as a full version anyways.

  • How can we generate PDF file by passing a query from package to RDF?

    Hi Everyone,
    I am beginner as SQL Developer, I am stuck in one issue , that is regarding generating PDF or Excel file according to user parameters passed.
    Detail of Requirement :
    I have created one package it contains 2 functions and 1 Procedure .
    Also created xx_report.rdf for generating in PDF .
    getQuery Function Returns Query as output.
    getExcelFile function gets query as input and generate  and return CLOB file as OUTPUT.
    xx_Report  Procedure will take input CLOB file and export it to EXCEL file and save under a DEFAULT Location.
    When User Pass Excel as parameter we can generate the file , but now if User Passes the Parameter for PDF FILE then  client wants  to invoke RDF  passing same query(getQuery) to xx_Report.RDF and generate PDF from it .
    We have already Created the RDF for xx_Report
    How it is possible? to invoke RDF from PL SQL Package.
    (We are doing like this as in future if there are any changes in query we dont have to change in RDF or in Package )
    If not then please let me know the other way where i can get the PDF or EXCEL file as output according to users choice from RDF.
    ( We are not using XML PUBLISHER nor 3rd party tools)
    Only Oracle Reports Developer 11g 1.2.3.
    Please help me in this ....its urgent.
    Thanks and Regards,

    Hello Narendra,
    (Specific to SAP POS General Merchandise)
    A  Tlog is binary file created by selling items via SAP POS. The file must be converted into ASCII by the use of a utility called cvtlog.exe or trickled to other systems. Once the tlog is converted to ASCII it contains all the information required to feed downstream systems such as ERP, POS DMu2026.etc.
    Hope that helps

    After installing the new software to my iPhone 4S , my dream zoo either will not start or when it does it has a blank screen that has a few icons on it that wont work. How can I fix this is it possible to go back and reinstall the older software ?

    Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?

  • Hello guys! How do I get my photo back after I restored my iphone5??? Ihave never did any backup or logged in iCloud before. Is it possible for me to get them back??

    Hello guys! How do I get my photo back after I restored my iphone5??? Ihave never did any backup or logged in iCloud before. Is it possible for me to get them back?? I use " find my iphone" and accidentally locked my iphone then I have to restore it to unlock it. But then I found out everything is gone after I restore my phone, is there anyway I could get them back??

    If you never backed them up, where do you suppose you can restore them from?

  • I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard and foolishly upgraded to Yosemite.  Is it possible to go back in time with Time Machine and reinstall Snow Leopard.  Then upgrade to Lion or Mavericks?  Any other ideas on how I can exit Yosemite?

    I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard and foolishly upgraded to Yosemite. Now have numerous problems.  Is it possible to go back in time with Time Machine and reinstall Snow Leopard?  Then upgrade to Lion or Mavericks?  Any other ideas on how I can exit Yosemite?

    Once you get yourself back to Snow Leopard, if you still want to upgrade somewhat, I would suggest the following:
    1. Get an external hard drive that you can use for experiments with new OS versions. You could partition it into 2 or 3 partitions. You could then clone your existing Snow Leopard system to one partition using Carbon Copy Cloner (well worth $40) or SuperDuper ($25).
    2. Buy OS X Mountain Lion for $20, through the Apple online store (I don't think it's available through the App Store). Apple has decided to make it very difficult for anyone to get Mavericks unless they have already downloaded it.
    You will receive two e-mails from Apple, one containing a PDF with a redemption code, and one with the password you will need to unlock the PDF. Using the code, you will download Mountain Lion from the App Store, where it will appear among your Purchased items.
    After ML finishes downloading, its installer app will launch itself. When you see this launch screen, QUIT the install app immediately! Go to your applications folder, find the Install OS X Mountain Lion app, and copy it to a safe location outside of your Applications folder. Keeping one or more copies will allow you to reinstall without unnecessary aggravation if you later need or want to do that. At this point, you can re-launch the Installer in the Applications folder and let it run. You can install it on a clean partition on your external HD, or you can allow it to upgrade the Snow Leopard clone you created on your external drive, or you can do both. This should allow you to test how everything works for as long as you like.
    3. If you left yourself a free partition on your test drive, try a clean install of Yosemite and set everything up from scratch (do not migrate anything). This will allow you to see whether your problems with it were related to something in your Snow Leopard system.

  • Lost Mode and Play Sound are "Pending."  However, iCloud indicates that it connected and backed up to iCloud at a date that is 1 week after it went missing.  How is this possible without locking (Lost Mode Pending an internet connection)

    Hi,
    My wife lost her iPhone two weeks ago while on vacation in London (cell service inoperative in foreign country).  Using Find My iPhone app on my device, I activated Lost Mode and Play Sound.  However, both are listed as "Pending," since it those actions require the phone to connect to the internet (wifi only due to no cellular data coverage.).
    We recently returned home and purchased a new iPhone.
    However, when looking to restore the apps/settings from her old phone using a previous iCloud backup, iCloud indicates that the old phone connected to iCloud and backed up the original phone at a date that is 1 week after it went missing.  How is this possible without locking (Lost Mode Pending an internet connection)?
    If the phone was activated and connected to the internet via a wifi signal, shouldn't it immedately lock, show up on the map, Play Sound, and send me an email that the phone has been found?
    I also read somewhere that if running iOS 7, the iCloud website interface enables you to track previous locations, for instance if the phone moves from wifi hotspot to hotspot.  Is that true?  If so, how do I do that?
    Thank you for your time, and have a great day!
    Sincerely,
    - Matt

    have an iphone4 and my husband merge his numbers with mine and i think it was deleted can you tell me how can he get his number back on his phone

    Do you possibly mean the contacts have been merged?
    If so, where are each of you syncing contacts?  A supported application on the computer? iCloud or another cloud service? An Exchange server?
    WIthout details, it's difficult to offer specific resolutions.
