Installing packages from testing while doing a new install
Is this possible while doing a ftp install?
I need to install kernel 2.6.18 coz 2.6.17 wont boot (jmicron etc )
use quickinst but edit it in a way so that it writes a testing repo to the temporary pacman.conf in /tmp. you should be able to find it with a grep.

Install some packages from [testing] repository
Hello Guys,
Could you suggest me how can I install and update from time to time only several packages from testing but not all of that repository?
Have a nice day,

There are completely valid scenarii where you can use only few packages from testing (see above, the linux kernel for example). Also, using different libs versions is not a heresy (simlinking is) so there are very few comments in this thread that would have been much more constructive without the condescending tone. Or should we, from now on, consider our fellow users as all dumb in opposition to competent linux users [1] as it has always been ?

It is NOT safe to assume that ALL readers are competent. Just browse through the forums every once in a while. Hence care should be taken in giving advise.
This is not a private club, things posted here are read by many competent Arch users and some incompetent as well. Results show up in a Google search. Even though its perfectly valid for me to wash my motherboard in water to get rid of dust, I wouldn't post that advise here without big WARNING tags. This isn't an indication that I assume all users are idiots, but simply that I know there are some who will not understand the 'ifs' associated with such a thing. -
Install single package from testing
I just switched to Arch from Gentoo, and so far it's been mostly great. What I want to do right now is install 1 package from testing, and only that one. Is there an easy way to do this, besides uncommenting the testing repo, installing xorg-server, and commenting testing again? Basically (if you're familiar with Gentoo and emerge), I want to know what pacman's equivalent to /etc/portage/package.keywords is. Alternatively, if there's a way to make kde4 not absurdly slow with a relatively new ultra-low-end nvidia card (9300m), then I'm up for that as well. Additional background for this question is that I was hoping the newest (beta) drivers might alleviate this issue, but they depend on an xorg-server version that only exists in testing. I don't want to run testing, but if the new drivers help, then I'd be willing to run them (along with any reasonable, if unstable, dependencies). Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forums.
If you upgrade only xorg-server, you're going to have problems. There are other packages designed to be used with it.
With that being said, you can always put testing as the last repo in /etc/pacman.conf. Then if you want to upgrade one package, you explicitly call it with pacman -S testing/<package_name>. -
Need package from testing, How can I install?[solved]
Hi
I must install the i81 Driver from testing, but what must I edit in the pacman.conf?
I have try it with
Incoming = /etc/packman.d/testing
this don't work.Remove that line from pacman.conf - it's completely incorrect. "Incoming=" means nothing to pacman, and if you look in /etc/pacman.d, there is no file called testing.
Here's the right way. Uncomment these two lines in pacman.conf:
#[testing]
#Server = ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/testing/os/i686
Then do
pacman -Sy testing/xf86-video-i810
If you don't need any other packages from testing, re-comment the lines in pacman.conf - if you want to be able to get selected packages from testing, move the lines to the end of pacman.conf, after all other repos. -
Searching and installing packages from testing w/o editing pacman.conf
Is this possible?
tomk wrote:Installing individual packages from the testing repo is not recommended as they are likely to depend on testing versions of other packages. The only supported way of using the testing repo is to enable it at the top of the list in pacman.conf.
I don't understand why that is true.
If I enable the testing repo and update a package (pacman -S package), and if the dependencies are set correctly, the dependencies from testing needed should also be installed/updated, right? -
Why TEXT is not transfering from SD(while doing billing) to Fi ?
Hi Experts,
While doing billing of sales order in SD side,they are entering "text" manually?the same thing is not transfering to the accounting document which generated while billing?
What may be the reason??plz guide.
Regards,
Sumeya.Dear Fernando,
i dont think so,user exit is required to solve this problem.
Actually the "TEXT" was transfering before 31.12.2008 .only the test is not transfering from 1st Jan 2009 to 30th jan 2009.
While debuging the standard programme,the error massage shows,
"Fiscal year varient not defined for the year 2009"
How can it possible??i already defined the fiscal varient V3(april to march with 4 sp.periods) and assigned to co.code.
If anybody have any idea,plz share with me.

Nrusingha DashHi Experts.,
Thanks for all of you for responding my questions.
I found my question resloved.
Actually, in previous version, the standard program has been modified by taking access key. When the upgradation happened, it got overwrited to the previous one. So, in recent version it is not appearing. -
Install only one or two packages from [testing]
I'm a bit new to arch, and for a few packages I require newer versions, which are currently availible in [testing].
Can I enable [testing] only for those packages? Or how should I go about?[testing] should be all or nothing, enabling it for a package or two and then disabling it is discouraged.
You can always build the packages yourself from ABS. -
Dear Experts,
Please note that we are in process of doing database upgrade from 9.2.0.6 to 11.2.0.2 ?
We have gone through the interoperablity note id for 11i 11gr2 ?
Step 1
upgrading the database from 9.2.0.6 to 9.2.0.8 ?
Step 2-
Upgrading the Forms patchset to 19 ?
Step-3
Applying the Rollup-6 patch ?
Step -4
Upgrading the database from 9.2.0.8 to 11.2.0.2 ?
We would like to know whether after each step do we have to do any kind of testing on the Oracle Application Instance and the database?
Please advise.
Regards
Mohammed.We would like to know whether after each step do we have to do any kind of testing on the Oracle Application Instance and the database?There is no such a list. However, you can refer to the documents referenced in each task above and it should cover if any testing need to be done or not (for example, the Developer Patchset doc). For the rest of the docs you will have to do your regular testing (test the application/database and make sure it is working properly).
Also, make sure you review (Known issues on Top of 11i.ATG_PF.H. delta.6 (RUP6) - 5903765 [ID 459353.1]).

Issues in retrieving the Planning profiles in CRM from BW while doing CRM-BI Integration
Dear Folks,
We are in the process of doing the SAP CRM & BI Integration wrt Trade Promotion Mangement.
For testing purposes, we tried to create a planning profile in BPS end i.e BW SEM system & trying to retrieve it from the CRM system using the below navigation.
SPRO-->CRM--> Define Transaction types--> ZBPD is the transaction type we had created.
And in Customizing Header level, in SEM Planning tab, trying to retrieve the Planning profile created in SAP SEM-BW.
Tried to search in both ways i.e prefixing the 'zprofile' with /prf/zprofile but still CRM system is not reading the same from BW system.
What ever the pre-requisites that are needed to be followed before doing all these, the same had been done in terms of creating the RFC Connections etc but still unable to retrieve the same.
And also not finding any standard content in the form of Planning areas & profiles at BW end after installing the SEM BW component add on in BW system.
Could you pls let us know what we are missing here.
Thanks in advance.I meet the same problem, any solution?

TCP RST message from CSS11150 while doing pop or imap conn to content rule
Making a pop or IMAP connection to the pop.tiscali.be (you can sign up free to test if you want) the connection stops after approx 12minutes.
When capturing with a sniffer this connection I receive an TCP RST message from the content rule.
When I test it form the back-end network directly to the server it works fine.
Does anybody have an idea on what this could be ....timers or so?
Will sicky source ip help??I would try sticky source to test but this seems odd at 12 minutes. You might need tac's help on this one.

Price should pick from PO not from Contract while doing GR
Hi All,
Quantity Contract is created as 1000 with net price Rs 1/-
PO is created against Quantity Contract say 100 quantity with net Price as Rs 15/-. PO value is Rs1500/-
GR and Invoice is done against PO.
Here, GR is happen agains Contract Price as Rs 1/- not PO price.
Please help me where is the settings to control either PO or Contract Price while posting Goods Receipt.
Regards,
SudhakarHi Sudhakar,
During GRN, the price will be taken from material master accounting view.
Material : Standard Price
material master price: rs.1
po price : rs.10
GRN for 100 quantity : rs.100 in bsx and rs.900 in prd (price difference)
Material : Moving Average Price
material master price: rs.1
po price : rs.10
GRN for 100 quantity : rs.1000 in BSX and in material master, mov.avg.price will be rs.10

Problem in picking base value from PO while doing goods receipt for multiple POs
Hi,
Our user is trying to post goods receipt for two purchase orders which have same vendor. After the materials of two POs are allocated in the item detail screen and checked the item ok, system throwing error as "Please check the base value of the item is zero" ( also excise tab does not appear for last three line items). This error does not occur when we are trying to do the goods receipt separately for each POs. Only when we do goods receipt for both the POs together, we are facing this error.
Please let us know what could be the reason. Is there an issue with standard CIN? Any notes to be applied? Please help!Refer these notes for the issue.
1528009 - MAA: incorrect distribution of goods receipt
quantities
and
1677707 - Determining the valuation type for stock transport orders
at the time of GI
For Excise tab not appearing, you have to check J1ID for "Material-ChapterId combination" and "Cenvat Determination".

Install Go-oo from Testing or AUR?
I just noticed that Go-oo is in the testing repo. I'm not running a testing system. Does it make sense to install Go-oo (if I want to try it) from the testing repo, if I'm not using any other packages from testing? Or would it be better to use the version in AUR?
I guess I'm wondering both which would produce a better working version of Go-oo in my system and which package is being upgraded more consistently?
Also is there any prognosis on when Go-oo might be ready for the extra repo?
Thanks.

Thank you, that worked like a charm! :-)
If someone also wants to localize go-openoffice, here is my PKGBUILD:
pkgname=go-openoffice-de
pkgver=3.0.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="OpenOffice.org - german language files for go-oo.org"

# install openoffice language files

chown root:root -R ${pkgdir}/usr/lib/go-openoffice-3.0.99.6/
I just altered the name, pkgdesc, depends, source (there's a newer file online now, the old one doesn't exist anymore), md5sums and the install part of course
I don't know if the pkgver is correct (since it is 3.1.0 RC2) but hey, it works!
If someone wants to localize it for another language the only thing you have to do is to change the pkgname, source¹ and md5sums line.
¹: Choose your langpack .tar.gz file from here: http://ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/openoffice/extended/3.1.0rc2/
Just like the vanilla openoffice you have to install the spell and grammar checker afterwards. The file is located here: /usr/lib/go-openoffice-3.0.99.6/share/extension/install
Thank you very much again Andy. I don't go back to vanilla openoffice
EDIT: I also don't really care if you split the mono and gstreamer dependencies into other packages (if that is possible). I would install them anyway
But I don't really get the point why Arch should do this? Openoffice is a fat package, everyone who wants to install knows this... One or two dependencies more don't hurt much in my opinion. So what is bad about mono and/or gstreamer?
I'm very happy with the features like video support since the Java Media Framework (JMF) isn't available for x86_64 :-(
Also vanilla openoffice could be placed in AUR so there's a way you can install it without those dependencies.
