Installing fontconfig-infinality from AUR

Hello guys!
It is probably the dumbest question ever, but I'm new to Arch and I am kind of stack here, so please help.
I'm trying to install the infinality fonts on my system, 'cause the default ones look awful for me. According to Font Configuration wiki page I have to install 3 packages: freetype2-infinality, which I've installed without any problems following Arch User Repository wiki page, lib32-freetype2-infinality and fontconfig-infinality. The last two packages I'm not able install, because the command makepkg -S doesn't generate any *.tar.xz file, which I supposed to install with pacman -S command.
Please, give me an advice on how to install these packages.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English.

I've found out about yaourt to update AUR packages.
There are some other helpers you might like even better https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_Helpers
BTW, I use cower, which just downloads the srcpackage tarball (the *src.tar.gz) and unpacks it for you. It also provides some amaingly fast and efficient search functionality, has basic dependency resolution (it can download the srcpackage and any other AUR srcpackages it depends on), and is capable of updates. On top of all that awesomeness, it is written in C, so it it super snappy, and it maintained by falconindy, who is an Arch dev.
When I get lazy, as we all do, I use meat-git. Really using meat is actually using cower, but it is just a bash wrapper that also builds the packages for you. I mostly use it if I have serveral AUR packages that need updating.

[Solved] Error installing Flash 64bit from AUR

I tried installing the 64bit flash from here :http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21601, using 'yaourt -S flashplugin-alpha-64 10.0.d20.7-3'
It will say:
Downloading 10.0.d20.7-3 PKGBUILD from AUR
Error: 10.0.d20.7-3 not found in AUR.
So i tried another method by downloading this tar file from http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs … .so.tar.gz
Then i untarred the file and on the desktop it shows 'libflashplayer.so'
So next i went to terminal, tried doing 'cd Desktop', followed by 'pacman -S libflashplayer.so', but it says i need to be root to do that. So i do 'su - ', and then 'cd Desktop', but it says '-bash: cd: Desktop: No such file or directory.'
How am i suppose to install flash64 bit? Thanks.

should be just "yaourt -S flashplugin-alpha-64" no version needed
the error is telling you it cant find 10.0.d20.7-3 which is not a package. did you get another error with the first part? or did you see it building the package?
i like building it by hand, so i usually (in a folder on my /home) i do
mkdir flashplugin-alpha-64
cd flashplugin-alpha-64
yaourt -G flashplugin-alpha-64 (to get pKGBUILD and other files)
makepkg (to build)
then install with yaourt -U [full package filename]
makes me feel like i'm in control

Error installing ruby-json from AUR

Hey guys,
I'm getting an error installing the ruby-json AUR package with yaourt. Here's the error https://gist.github.com/EvanPurkhiser/5409110
I checked the directory pkg directory and it has 000 permissions =/ Changing the permissions doesn't seem to fix it as it just resets them back to 000 next time i try to install it
Also, would this be a better to report this in the package comments instead of asking here?

Scimmia wrote:Yes, it is better to notify the package maintainer. The problem is that $pkgdir is inaccessable from the build function.
Technically that is not the problem, the problem is that the PKGBUILD was doing bad things in build(), which makepkg will now refuse

Trying to install AMSN-SVN from AUR, TLS troubles (Resolved)

Hi all,
I just finished attempting to get AMSN-SVN from AUR working correctly. I got it installed and running fine but when I go to sign in, it complains about a missing TLS package, which was expected from what I read in the wiki. However, AMSN for some reason is unable to download the TLS package due to an error with sourceforge. I manually entered the URL in my web browser and the file in question downloaded fine that way. I extracted the archive and in the AMSN preferences I directed it to look for TLS in the folder I extracted the archive too. In theory this should work fine but it did not and no matter where I put the TLS files or point AMSN too it simply won't work.
I also read about editing one of the TLS files but my file was correct already so it must have been fixed at some point. Anyone have any insight or tips for me? I am ready to pull my hair out. lol. I even tried installing Arch's TLS package but got no love from that either. If I can't get this to work I may have to go back to my Ubuntu install. Nooooo!! I love Arch too much.
Kevin

well, I just read the wiki, and it tells you have to download tls manually, but you don't have to...
amsn also asko for tls (which was already installed) until this modification is done
I know you said you already tried something similar, but I've done this few days ago, and I can't see why it wouldn't work for you...
Thanks for the suggestion samlt. I did try that as I too found some posts relaying the same info. My file already had the correct layout so it must have been fixed sometime recently. No biggie, I am using Mercury Messenger at the moment and it seems to be doing pretty much everything I need for now, just found out about it yesterday and there was a package in the AUR so I tried it out and it is working well at the moment.
Thanks,
Kevin

[SOLVED] How to install custom kernel from AUR?

I am trying to install the custom kernel for the Acer Aspire One from AUR. What is the correct way to go about doing this? I pacman -U the .pkg.tar.gz I downloaded and it put a new kernel folder in /usr/src. Do I just copy the old .config file and make?

After installing new kernel with pacman -U you just need to add a new line to grub menu.lst pointing to it and reboot
How would you go about doing this in syslinux instead of grub?

[SOLVED] Installing Catalyst drivers from AUR

Hi everyone!
Got me an new laptop and have an Radeon HD 3200 in it and hoped to get it working but
I dont managed to get it to work so I hoped someone here could help me
Ive tested the xf86-video-ati
xf86-video-radeonhd
xf86-video-radeonhd-git
But those does get it to work but the performance is really shit and I really want 3d acceleration
so I decided to give the catalyst 9.4-1 from AUR a go.
Installs with yaourt and everything seems to go fine but when I startx it goes back to command line.
My xorg:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "DontZap" "false"
EndSection
#Section "Module"
# Load "glx"
# Load "dri"
# Load "drm"
#EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "fglrx"
# Option "AccelMethod" "exa"
# Option "DRI" "on"
# Option "ColorTiling" "on"
EndSection
#Section "DRI"
# Group "video"
# Mode 0666
#EndSection
The commented lines were used for the radeonhd driver.
Here is the Xorg.0.log when using fglrx driver:

And now I get into X with the catalyst driver and it seems much smoother than with
the radeonhd driver.
But now comes the next problem, when I try to launch a 3d application such as tuxkart
I get this outout:

Data files will be fetched from: '/usr/share/games/tuxkart'

Anyone knows anything about this? glxgears gives me the same results.

Installing wine apps from AUR, no install UI shows?

Hello
I have been unable to install the netflix-desktop app and pipelight from the aur.
The thing is that i start the installation process from terminal (yaourt -S pipelight) and when there is supposed to popup a installation wizard gui, i get nothing, just the terminal showing some weird output (the sort of output you see when you start a gui app from the terminal).
Any ideas on how i can fix the issue?
Thanks

there's no graphical wizard that pops up, when you install pipelight (and by extension, wine-silverlight) it does it all in the terminal. building wine-silverlight takes some time, so be patient

Problem installing android-sdk from AUR using yaourt

Hi all,
I use yaourt to install packages from the AUR but I'm having an issue with android-sdk.
Whenever I run 'yaourt -S android-sdk' it seems to detect that the 'java-runtime' is not installed.
However, I do have sun's jre and jdk installed (I was having applet issues with openjdk) and it detects this when it actually starts installing it.
But it just reinstalls the package and quits without installing the android sdk. If I run yaourt again, the same thing happens.
Does anyone have an idea of what the problem might be?
I could download the tar.gz from google but I'd rather keep everything handled by arch package management.

Is that a show stopper for yaourt? I use aurbuild and did that install the other night. It tripped over the java runtime and pitched a warning, but the build worked and it installed.
I could download the tar.gz from google but I'd rather keep everything handled by arch package management.
Even if you hand build the AUR in a directory of your choice, the resultant package is still integrated into your Arch system using the -U option of pacman. Regadrless of the front end (Yaourt, aurbuild, or roll-your-own), pacman tracks the package as 'Foreign'. FYI.

Installing google-chrome from AUR broke sound in chromium

Hi,
I installed google-chrome to watch netflix yesterday and since then, chromium sound is broken. This isn't just with flashplugin, I can't even play mp3 files from my hdd using chromium. I have since uninstalled google-chrome but that's made no difference. Any hints of where I should start with troubleshooting? I couldn't find anything on the forums or Google.

I'd try one then the other then together with first installation. Flash was broken last year I was reading somewhere. Try searching the forum.

Problem installing a package from AUR

I'm not expecting anyone to install this package just to try and answer my question but,,
I have /home on a 10 gig space ext3 and it's only 2% full.
When I try and install doom3-phantasm, the package downloads, builds and when it's time to install a window says not enough space to install.
No way this single game is over 9.5 gigs.
I'm not even seeing where it's trying to install to.
Is this a problem with the package build or am I not seeing something?

I wrote the pkgbuild, so I've got it installed
$ pacman -Ql doom3-phantasm
doom3-phantasm /opt/
doom3-phantasm /opt/doom3/
doom3-phantasm /opt/doom3/phantasm/

Alternatively, take a look in the "pkg" directory of where you built it, or just examine the .pkg.tar.gz installation file.

COD4 Not installing in Cedega from AUR

Hi,
I am attempting to install COD4 on my new system, i am running archlinux with nvidia drivers, i attempt to install COD4 with 7.3.0, and I get the following error:
Sat 17:33:01 Call of Duty 4 setup.exe The DLL 'OLEAUT32.dll' cannot be found or loaded.
Sat 17:33:01 Call of Duty 4 setup.exe The program failed to start with the error 0x2
So i put the DLL OLEAUT32 into the games system32 folder and then i get this error
Sat 17:29:13 Call of Duty 4 setup.exe The program crashed with an unhandled exception.
Cedega diagnostics shows
Cedega Diagnostics Report
Generated: Sat Jul 10 08:00:21 2010 GMT
Starting test: dependency
Starting test: soundcard
Starting test: copy-protection
Starting test: videocard
Diagnostics complete
So everything looks fine there, and as far as i know i have all the needed libs

I generally play games with WINE and Steam, and use winetricks to get some things going in that direction for me, so I did a little search:
user ~ $ winetricks blah | grep -i ole
dcom98 MS DCOM (ole32, oleaut32); requires Windows 98 license, but does not check for one
So, if I were in your situation, I would run this to fix the problem, hopefully. Maybe you could go in that direction, because I'm not familiar with Cedega.

[SOLVED] How to install from AUR?

Ok, I know I'm posting too many questions too fast but I'm at the last step in configuring my videocard driver to install X and I'm stranded in the middle of nowhere, sorry for too much posting.
I need to install a package from AUR but even I read the guide (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_User_Guidelines) I can't make it clear enough on how to do it so please correct me if there's anything wrong.
a. first of all, I need to download and install wget because I'm at CLI ready to configure X but I need the latest test drivers that fully support my videocard.
b. mkdir ~/myuser/build && cd ~/myuser/build
c. I need to download from here (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34773) the Tarball, PKGBUILD and all the files listed in "Files", right?
d. Once I have files downloaded all I need to do is follow the instructions in the wiki,
1. Acquire a PKGBUILD and any other required files (e.g. patches)
2. Run makepkg in the directory where the files are saved
3. Install the resulting package with pacman
Thanks for any advice!

guys,
did you ever saw that Heineken TV Ad where a woman shows her dresser-room to her fellow friends and they start screaming like (women does) crazy, and while they still screaming a lot they start to hear a somewhat identical scream from other part of the house that in fact shows up as the boyfriend/husband of the first lady showing his buddys his special fridge-room filled with green bottles?
Well, that was my *exact* impression yesterday after having KDE4 up and running with composite turned on faster than any Fluxbox system on a iCore 7, and that's the top part of the iceberg.
I think the best thing I like about Arch it's it's simplicity - besides it's speed. Okay, it may seem somewhat obscure to profane because editing configuration files is something strange to profanes, but if you have a little knowledge of GNU/Linux like myself once completed the Beginner's Guide, looking at /var/log/pacman.log and start tweaking you found yourself with a very powerfull yet easy to use, easy and fast to learn system. Arch is incredible, that's why it's gaining so much popularity, and it's community is superb.
I'm doing my first steps around it and find Yaourt a very cool tool, I love all the info it shows about installed and AUR packages and the way it colorize, very pragmatic-oriented (as Arch is).
On the other hand Packer is a swift tool to replace pacman.
Thank you guys for your kindness and time spent on this n00b, best!

[SOLVED] Makepkg, install dependencies from AUR.

Is it possible for makepkg to install the dependencies from AUR with makepkg -si?
Last edited by lemanski6 (2012-09-20 18:05:38)

Nope. Many "AUR helpers" do this though. In my limited experience yaourt seems to be one that handles this seemlessly, but I'd say it comes with some costs of hiding what is doing from the user.

[SOLVED] install package from aur via yaourt

Can you check if:
sudo mkdir /etc/hal/fdi
sudo touch /etc/hal/fdi/policy
solves the problem?
