Pacman Broken After MLDonkey install [Solved]

So,
I installed MlDonkey. I than tried to download another package. I had an error where it could not grab files off of extra any more. So here are the steps that I took to get pacman working correctly again.
# cd /etc/pacman.d
# cp mirrorlist mirrorlist.backup
# nano mirrorlist.backup
# sed '/^#\S/ s|#||' -i mirrorlist.backup
# rankmirrors -n 6 mirrorlist.backup > mirrorlist
It took a LONG time when I actually ranked the mirrors around 10 minutes. Also do not forget the the sudo command if you are in your user, and on the last command even when I used sudo it kept telling me permission denied, I ended up just su into root and than it worked. I am not sure as to why. I hope this helps people.

Now what I fear is, that if some regular library gets an update, it may not updated on my system in the first place, because pacman only sees that the older version is needed for the AUR software, but is not capable of updating the AUR package (which works with the new library version) automatically. So updates will break some software unless I remove it first and install the latest version manually.

[solved] pacman broken after "pacman -Syyu" excluding pacman

Hi forums,
I use arch x86_64, yaourt and the testing and multilib repositories.
A full system upgrade doing "yaourt -Syyu" didn't work, because pacman had an unfulfilled dependancy which I don't recall, but it was about a normal and a multilib version: I probably have the multilib version of a library installed, which has not been updated to the version required by pacman yet.
So I thought it would be perfectly fine to exclude pacman from this system upgrade by choosing "manually" from the options given by "yaourt -Syyu" and commented pacman.
The upgrade then went fine except for the two final lines:
package-query: error while loading shared libraries: libarchive.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
testdb: error while loading shared libraries: libarchive.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Now everytime I try to use pacman, I get this error:
pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libarchive.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Do you know how to solve this?
Thanks in advance

OEM DB Control 10.2 slightly broken after fresh install

People,
I just installed 10.2.0.2 on Solaris x86 using instructions I found here:
http://bikle.com/protected/o10gR2_solaris10x86
Everything seems to work okay except for some small areas inside of EM database control.
For example, in the first page of the Home tab I see a Java null pointer exception.
After a minute, the page changes shape and gives information about:
DB Instance
Listener
General
Agent Connection to Instance
It says :
the DB Instance is down
the Agent Connection to Instance is down
the Listener is up
General is up
Here are some details I see about
the Agent Connection to Instance
Failed to connect to database instance: ORA-12505: TNS:listener does
not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor (DBD ERROR:
OCIServerAttach).
In the performance tab,
I see this:
java.lang.Exception: Invalid BoundDataSource: no class, method or dataSource provided.
at oracle.sysman.emSDK.chart.EmChartBoundDataSourceBean.initDataSource(EmChartBoundDataSourceBean.java:97)
Aside from this,
parts of EM work just fine.
In the Administration tab,
I can do things like query data files.
In the Maintenance tab,
I was able to do an Object Level Recovery of a row
which I had deleted from a table.
Can you give me any tips on how to get EM fully functional?

HAL seems to have broken after update. (SOLVED)

I'm not sure what happened, but after updating arch recently CD's, DVD's, and USB drives/sticks are not available. They "seem" to mount themselves as before, as they show up in gnome, but they are inacessible, clicking on any icon for them brings nothing up.
Sorry for the cryptic nature of this post, I'm not even sure where to begin looking in the logs for whatever error/warning might point me in the right direction. Can someone kindly tell me what I should be checking to resolve this? Thanks!

Wiki "remember password" feature broken after clean install

I did a clean install, then restored the collaboration folder from an asr backup.
Only problem is, if clients check the "remember password" box (in the wiki login - not a browser feature), then get the following error:
The page at <my url here> says:
Error from server: xmlrpc_digestLogin() takes at most 4 arguments (5 given) (8002)
Curiously, the text "remember password" is also missing from next to the checkbox.

Your symptoms imply a mismatch between the web client and the server. It seems the web client is newer (10.5.2) and the wiki server is earlier (pre-10.5.2)
Could your restore have mismatched items?
One way to fix this is to do a clean install on another disk, then copy the server bits back over, using ditto or cp. The server bits you'll need live in /usr/share/wikid

GE40 Dragon Eyes 20C. Webcome broken after fresh install windows 8.1

I just bought this laptop 3 weeks ago. I freshly installed 8.1 from a CD and so far, the webcam doesn't work. It doesn't appear in Device Manager and Fn + F6 doesn't work. What should I do? Couldn't find drivers around the net. MSI page for this laptop doesn't provide the driver for the webcam. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Did it work before you installed Windows 8.1?
Do you have SCM installed? Is it working?

[SOLVED] nfsroot install broken after kernel upgrade 3.5.6 to 3.6.2

It seems my nfsroot installations have broken after the kernel upgrade to 3.6.2.

It looks to me like the client is sending the mount request, the server accepts and then for some reason the client thinks it has failed. I can't even see anything strange in the wireshark traces comparing the working client (3.5.6) to the broken one (3.6.2).
Anyone else using nfsroot successfully with the latest kernel?
Any other ideas?
(by the way - despite my directory names, this is using nfs v3 for the rootfs)

So I wonder if it asking for the wrong path.
That unmount issue will be solved by FS#32021.
Unfortunately, that doesn't help with mounting in the first place with 3.6.2

[SOLVED]Can pacman provide some sound after finishing installing

I usually let pacman download and install something in a screen and working on another screens. But I can't know immediately when the instalI finished if I don't return to the screen where pacman is installing something.
Can pacman provide some sound after finishing installing? Or are there any other methods are suitable for this? And I guess tools like wget or axel may need this.
Last edited by ArkChar (2012-12-05 06:30:35)

You probably can make a script that wraps pacman, and plays a sound (ffplay, ffmpeg, mplayer, aplay, whatever) and plays a sound when pacman returns. Better than nothing I guess.
Something like this:
pacmansound
#!/bin/bash
pacman $@
ffplay ~/Music/pacman_done.ogg
I'm not sure if this works, but you get the idea.

[SOLVED]Sound Card No longer detected after pulseadio install

I recently installed pulseaudio and after the install my /var/lib/alsa/asound.state file was deleted or moved, anyhow now neither pulseaudio or alsa recognize my sound card. Is there a way to regenerate the original asound.state file ? i've already tried alsactl store but alsa apprently can't find my sound card anymore.
SOLVED: apparently the modules for the sound card were unloaded I don't know what caused it but it was sure annoying
SOLUTION:
modprobe snd-hda-intel ; modprobe snd-pcm-oss ; modprobe snd-mixer-oss ; modprobe snd-seq-ossa
Of course the modules you load will depend on your particular system, I happen to be using the Acer Aspire One netbook so I had an intel hda audio card

yes i assumed it would be necessary for integration, am i to understand this was the root of the problem ?
ok so i was reading a gentoo forums post and decided to follow some of the fact finding there and came to some good information.
sound card is not found in /proc/asound/cards
sound card isn't in /dev/ anywhere
so it seems like it just up and disappeared

[SOLVED] Another "Sound broken after upgrade" thread

Hi. My sound stopped working at some point, probably after an upgrade. I've seen lot's of posts about this in the last month, but nothing is helping. My guess is that OSS is screwing with ALSA. Here is what it says in my pacman log.

I tried removing the directory and reinstalling oss, but that didn't work. I also tried removing oss altogether, but pacman says that lib32-libflashsupport: requires oss. So I'm not sure what to do. I was trying this
http://wiki.archbang.org/index.php?titl … _with_Alsa
but I got the dependency conflict with libflashsupport.
What I want to do is force remove oss via pacman -Rf oss, then install the alsa-oss emulator, but I'm not sure if that will break something else.
I'm also willing to just wait and see if the next kernel update will fix it, if that doesn't take too long. I don't really use sound very often anyway, but I still want it to work. I'm running this kernel

Sorry for bumping this rather useless post. But I just wanted to mention that the problem is fixed. What I did was to follow the link
http://wiki.archbang.org/index.php?titl … _with_Alsa
(but I don't know that even has anything to do with the solution, because the sound didn't work after doing this.)
But then, just today, there was a kernel upgrade, and now the sound works. Big thanks to the arch team.

[SOLVED] GLIBC_2.16 not found - Pacman broken

Hi all,
I did a packman -Syu yesterday and following instructions relative to glib errors I also performed it by excluding glibc.
This resulting in the problem that now I have old GLIBC ( so I don't have simlink of lib).
After rebooting my system was unable to boot anymore, I did a chroot and a mkinitcpio -p linux and now I can boot the system.
The main problem is that I can't use pacman and a lot of stuff (samba service, firefox, and so on) due to this error:
pacman: /lib/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.16' not found (required by /lib/libarchive.so.12)
Before opening this new thread I did a lot of searching and I tried I think almost all solutions I've found.
I already tried to use pacman cache for replacing libs, I already tried to downgrade curl...
Any help is very very very appreciated, It's a workstation I'm using for CFD computation in my lab and I'm totally blocked!!! (I mean, CFD works at least )
Thanks in advance, guys.

Try this from a chroot : pacman -U http://pkgbuild.com/~allan/glibc-2.16.0 … pkg.tar.xz
If that fails, try extracting the 2.16.0-1 tarball to / (and don't forget to reinstall glibc after you've solved the problem) .

[Solved]Terminology - Broken after upgrade

After running a system update it appears that Terminology is no longer working correctly.
i.e:

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Fix:
Downgrade to package 0.6.1-1 from cache
pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/terminology-0.6.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Booting error after post-install update [Solved]

hi
Been using Linux for a while, but wanting to learn rather than just use, so decided to give Arch a go, after the review in LinuxMagazine.
Managed to install and boot into it after a few trial and error.
Ran "pacman -Syu"
pacman updated itself, then ran into the hotplug conflict. I took it from This thread that it was safe to accept to remove hotplug.
Ran "pacman -Syu" again
I then ran into the the error:
error: the following file conflicts were found
grub: /usr/share/grub: exists in filesystem.
Followed This thread and did
phrakture wrote:'mv' /usr/share/grub to something like /usr/share/grub-backup
Ran pacman -Syu again, this time, it ran properly (I think)
Rebooted the computer, ran into a kernel panic:
UFS: unable to mount root on unknown-block(0,0)
. Followed This thread and the wiki and edited the instruction on Grub's boot screen to set
root=/dev/hda1 ro
and added
initrd /initrd26.img
to the line uderneath.
this allows me to boot (sort off), but I then get the following error:
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
From there, I get what seems to be a limited shell (get the "#" sign but not the location I am in such as "root@archbox:#" which I would expect). Here, I am snookered. If I search the wiki for this message, I get one article which refers to Cups and is not relevant to the issue, as far as I can tell, and I do not get any joy from the forum either.
Reinstalling the system is not a problem, but I would rather understand what is happening before I do it, so that I can fix it if the issue reappears, and because it fits into the "learning" purpose of installing this distro.
Could someone guide me on my next step?
Thx
Damien

Thanks, that did it. Thought I had tired that as well, though, must have been tired and made some typos.....
On a sidenote, it seems that after the install, there was "/dev/discs/disc0" then came the partitions: part1; part2; part3, which is now translated as hda1; hda2; hda3. I thought partitions started with hda0.. Am I wrong or is the way Arch auto-prepares the hard drive just skips the 0 partition?

Pacman hangs after install or remove

For a few weeks I am experiencing a strange problem with pacman.
After a package is installed or removed it just hangs instead of closing.
In the task manager I can see ldconfig running and uninterruptible.
Maybe this has something to do with it?
I tried reinstallingen several packages like pacman en libc but had no luck.
Can someone help me with this?
