I can't upgrade pacman

Hello,
I have postponed the upgrade of the system due to the exams period. Today, I tried and I get an error. Do you have any clue what I should do?
# pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date

:: The following packages should be upgraded first :

:: Do you want to cancel the current operation

# pacman -Q valgrind
valgrind 3.7.0-1
# pacman -Q glibc
glibc 2.14.1-4
# pacman -Q pacman
pacman 3.5.4-4

Q means query so you're merely telling us you already have the versions needed
valgrind and pacman have been upgraded recently so if you remove package-query (and yaourt), upgrade pacman and then the other stuff and reinstall yaourt if you wish

hi, really sorry as I said I'm somewhat of a newbie, was waiting to see what you guys thought might be relevant so I could tell you what I've got, here goes:
graphics card: nvidia geforce GTX660.
DE/WM (I assume is desktop environment): gnome
unsure about how I start X (sorry I understand I am a newbie)
oh and everything does seem to be hanging, ctrl-c does nothing.
there were no messages from the update, I checked pacman and didn't see any warnings, (is there any kind of log I can check in case I missed something?), I've chrooted into the disk through the installation medium to reinstall the graphics card drivers (as suggested here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=153206)

Well it sort of did, but I have to admit I had to check the forums before continuing...the messages I received were:

I can't update packages after upgrading pacman to 4.0.3

I know this was already treated broadly about two months ago, but I can't update after upgrading pacman because of continuous problems with certain signatures (at least one).
I have already tried this:
rm -rf /etc/pacman.d/gnupg
pacman -Scc
pacman-key --init
pacman-key --populate archlinux
But I still get this error when trying to upgrade the system:
error: virtuoso: signature from "Andrea Scarpino (Arch Linux) <[email protected]>" is invalid
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
Could anybody help me? I'm pretty devastated with this.
Thanks!

Thanks everyone! I guess it was a faulty mirror.
I also had problems upgrading glibc because /lib had to be linked to /usr/lib, but I fixed it seeking for helpful tips on the forum. What I did was move everything from /lib to /usr/lib, shutdown, start adding break=postmount to kernel line, mount the filesystem, remove /lib folder, link /usr/lib to /lib and reboot. Then I reinstalled glibc and everything went well.
Now some fonts look half-cutted in Gnome Shell when the window or panel which contains them is in background and I don't know why. But it is not the first time I have "graphical artifacts" with Arch Linux on this laptop. I think has something to do with the compositing.

OpenVZ - can't upgrade system

Hi, so I have an OpenVZ VPS, and when I do pacman -Syu, it returns lots of errors, which means I can't upgrade it like that.
I looked at this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vi … _for_glibc
but the problem is that
this link:
https://dev.archlinux.org/~ibiru/openvz … ibc-2.16.0-101-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
doesn't work, and
pacman -U https://dev.archlinux.org/~ibiru/openvz … ibc-2.16.0-100-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
returns the error
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting files)
glibc: /lib exists in filesystem
glibc: /usr/bin/tzselect exists in filesystem
glibc: /usr/sbin/zdump exists in filesystem
glibc: /usr/sbin/zic exists in filesystem
My glibc is currently on version 2.12-2, and uname -r returns 2.6.18-308.el5.028stab099.3.
Is there any way of going about this so I can have my Arch Linux system up to date?

Can a VPS be updated just like that? Aren't any newer Arch images available?
The system you have the is age old and updating will be a real PITA.
Edit: https://dev.archlinux.org/~ibiru/openvz/glibc-vps/i686/ provides newer glibc versions too e.g. glibc-2.17-103.
Another thing: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … ow_to_Post
Note that you should avoid using [CLOSED], which is instead used by the system to mark a thread which is no longer accessible for new posts.

Upgrading Pacman Problems

i upgraded pacman and ran
pacman-key --init
pacman-key --populate archlinux
i have read up alittle in the wiki's and understand taht signatures and verification are now being used. However i know notice that a lot of packages are missing! all i see is the comunity repo.
Any ideas?
Paul

you can comment the ones that you use and uncomment some others. Unfortunately, it will be trial and error as even I don't know which mirrors may or may not have problems.
I use the rit.edu or the illinois.edu mirror and those didn't have any problems until last night at least.

Can not upgrade online

Can not upgrade online
I keep on encoutering an error saying me that i can not upgrade online or change my services. it keeps me asking to call verizon to make changes.
Why the error ? I recently made some chanegs to my account and the error happened after that . something looks broken.

Verizon support is in receipt of this issue. We will send you a PM to gather additional information.

Can I upgrade my Sony Laptop's Graphic Card?

My laptop is relatively new and I only bought it a few months ago, model #VPCEB. It currently has a 512 MB ATI Radeon HD 5470 which I want to upgrade so I can have StarCraft II run smoothly because it is kind of choppy right now. I just want to know, is there a way I can actually upgrade my computer and what would be a good graphics card?

It used to be that some laptops would come with 2-3 options of graphics chipsets, and you could swap between them, plus manufacturers might use the same form factor for a series of laptops (For example, all Dell Inspiron 8000 series units used the same card form factor - so you could upgrade an I8000 to the graphics chipset that came with the I8200). This is no longer the case, even the highend gaming laptops don't have upgradeable graphics.

Can I upgrade my HP ENVY 14 DR DRE Laptop to a blueray and SSD drive?

HI all,
Can I upgrade my HP ENVY 14 DR DRE Laptop to a blue ray and SSD drive?
cheers

You can upgrade from HDD to SSD drive, but will not recommend it as it will void the warranty on the unit.
Pertaining to bluray drive, you might have some compatibility issues unless you find the right model.

Hi,please suggest me some games for Compaq CQ62-105TU Laptop.Can I upgrade my laptop's graphics card

Unfortunately, you cannot upgrade the processor or graphics card on this laptop.
Here is a page from CPU-World that gives the specs for your processor:
http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Bobcat/AMD-E%20Series%20E2-1800.html
You will see down near the bottom of the page that it is not upgradeable. Some laptops come with the processor soldered to the motherboard. Almost all laptop graphics are this way. The only way that you would be able to get a faster processor/better graphics for this laptop would be to purchase a brand new motherboard. You can do an Ebay search for 'HP G6 motherboard' to see what average prices are if you want to go this route.

Can I upgrade my Laptop Hardware?

I have HP pavilion G6 Notebook
Q6470PA#ACJ is product code
Inter Core I5 2340M 2.4 GHz
and graphic card is AMD 6470M
Hard Disk is 600 GB
Can I upgrade My grpahic card or Hard Disk space?
If yes , how can i do it?

Graphics card no; not possible at all. Hard drive; yes but only by 40% to 1 TB and as a practical matter only 750gb drives currently have good performance. 1TB drives are big but slow.

I'm using HP 2227tu Laptop.As laptop provides 1.66GB Intel HD Graphics 4000 (inbulit) but it is not sufficient to play high graphics games, so can I upgrade my laptop's graphics to 2GB ?

What is the complete product name or product number of your notebook? You left off the first section of the product name.
Lets start with you helping us by identifying your notebook completely.
HP has produced and brought to market more than a thousand different models of notebooks and desktop PCs over the years. It is difficult to help you if we don't know which specific model you own..
Method #1: If the notebook will boot into Windows, you can retrieve your Product Number by pressing Fn + Esc key.
Method #2:
Remove the battery and look in the compartment where the battery was installed. You should see a Service tag with printed part number and a product name. Please post the p/n (with all alphanumeric characters) here. If you live outside of North America, it helps us if you post the country of purchase. Also post the installed CPU type. (AMD or Intel)
Don't forget to post the name of the installed operating system if you haven't already done that.
