Pacman hanging on "checking for file conflicts"

I've tried running pacman -Syu on my laptop and pacman is simply hanging at the checking for file conflicts stage. I've let it sit for several minutes, but it never seems to get past that stage. The list of packages to be updated isn't long:
Targets (5): bison-2.6.2-1 chromium-21.0.1180.75-1 flex-2.5.37-1 libldap-2.4.32-1 lm_sensors-3.3.2-4
This is being done on a laptop that was only recently rebuilt with a new Arch install using the latest installation media. The install went well and previous updates have worked with no problems.

I'm glad you solved the problem but "pacman -Scc" shouldn't be necessary and makes it more difficult to recover in a variety of situations. You can always re-download old packages but having them in your cache makes it easy to roll something back and makes it possible to do this without, for example, a working network connection. I installed in November and I've never even run "pacman -Sc" let alone "pacman -Scc". (Though I have trimmed the cache to free up disk space using, I think, paccache.)

[solved] pacman 4 hangs after "checking for file conflicts"

Like others, I removed yaourt and package-query because they conflicted with pacman4... not worried about that, I'll reinstall them later.
I put the new pacman.conf in place (my old one wasn't really customized). I left SigLevel = Never.
Now, I can run pacman -Sy fine, but if I try to install anything, I it just hangs:

Note that the 'checking available disk space...' is not printed without the --debug option although it doesn't look like being 'debug output'.
I don't see much disk activity after that and the pacman process uses no CPU time and the process status goes to D in `ps` (man ps says: D: Uninterruptible sleep (usually IO)).

[solved] "pacman -Syu" hangs after "checking for file conflicts"

This is my third attempt. I let it run yesterday for 20 hours on the theory that maybe it was actually doing something. It always completes "checking for file conflicts" but never goes any further.
Does anyone have any suggestions how to get it to continue?

Is disk space really the problem? Or is that just where it hung?

Checking for file conflicts: could not get filesystem information

When I try to install a new package with pacman 4 I got the following warning just after pacman has done "checking for file conflicts":
warning: could not get filesystem information for /var/lib/ntp/etc/resolv.conf (deleted): No such file or directory
After the warning message is printed, the installation continues normally. This warning message has never shown up before.
I have ntpd running in a chroot as a non-root user (instructions).
I am wondering if anyone else gets the same warning message and if this 'problem' can be solved.
I forgot to say: the file is still there according to ls and is not empty, but the contents differs form the /etc/resolv.conf-file.

I'm not sure how to do that or I do not know exactly what you mean.
tim@tim-notebook:~$ pkgfile -gs "*etc/resolv.conf"
core/filesystem
extra/archboot
But you probably already knew that.
Running pacman with the --debug option did not gave me any more clues. All I know now, is that this message is printed when the moundpoints are examined:

Checking for files in a folder -- Wrong output

Hi guys,
I'm writing a simple program, I have to check for 6 files (hardcoded, they will never change) if they are in certain directories/paths.
The problem is, I think I have a problem in my IF statements, because it continueally returns false.
The paths are on networked drives, does that make a difference?
I'm rather stuck on this one, any help would be appreaciated.
(some paths/file names have been replaced by "xxxxxxxxx", for security)

You could try using the File.exists() method.
The paths are on networked drives, does that make a difference?Try the above on a local file and a networked file.
I'm writing a simple program, Actually a simple program would be something like:
File file = new File("xxx");
System.out.println(file.exists());No need to include all the code you posted.

AnyConnect hangs when checking for required updates

Several of our customers require us to use Cisco AnyConnect to connect to their computers. I cannot connect to any of them because AnyConnect hangs when checking for required updates. If I start AnyConnect myself, it will eventually (after five minutes) tell me that it cannot connect to a server. If it is started from a web page, AnyConnect hangs forever.
In the past, this error has been random. If I try later, or the next day, it may work. Or it may not.
No customer has been able to give us any support on this issue.
Could you please give me some ideas on how to overcome this problem?
Thank you very much.

This printout resulted after canceling the download and restarting pacman -Syu. Thus the same failure occurs after the original download failure of the same type.
What causes this failure mode?

I guess, this shouldn't happen... but then again, I guess, I really really shouldn't have the machine hibernate while pacman is downloading .
No it should not happen, this is the same bug.
I guess either when you suspended or resumed, your network was down at some point, so libfetch returned -1 and triggered the infamous pacman bug.

A KISS systray pacman/aur updates checker for KDE

I have created a simple python-QT script that places an icon in the system tray and informs you when updates for both pacman and AUR are available. Also I created a bash script that does the real package updates checking. The python script depends on python 3, kde which must be installed and PyQt4 perl module. The bash scripts depends on cower.
I could have built the whole functionality in only the python script, but I thought that the best way was to separate the checking and the notification parts to keep it simple and flexible.
I thought that I should share them as they are very convenient for me and they work well for a long time now.
They feature:
- automatically checking for updates both for arch official repos and AUR
- notifies the user by changing the icon accordingly if there are updates available
- by clicking on the icon you get a balloon with a list of the availabe (and ignored) updates for packages
- automatically refreshes after every pacman upgrade/installation/removal of packages
- ability to ignore some updates for packages that you don't wish to upgrade and not get notified for them (but they still get printed as ignored on the list in the icon's balloon)
- no root permission needed
- it only CHECKS and does absolutely nothing else. It does not change your system, your packages or your pacman database.
Here's a quick summary of how they work:
The bash script calls checkupdates and cower -u to produce a list of available updates both for arch official repos and AUR and it stores this list in two temporary files. The python script simply checks those two temporary files each second and gets the package names and updates count, which in turn notifies the user for them. It also checks each second /var/log/pacman for modification (for a way to know when there's been a change in the installed packages) and if it is, then it calls the bash script to update the temporary files.
Instructions:
1. place the python script somewhere in your system and add it to the KDE Autostart.
2. place the bash script also anywhere and add it to a cron job that runs hourly (or whatever other interval you wish)
3. change the paths in the python script accordingly to reflect correctly the paths of the various files your system
4. optional: create a file for the ignored packages, where you can list each package name in a new line for those packages that you wish to be ignored. Also don't forget to update the python script with the correct path for this particular file.
And that's it. From now on you get a nice icon in your systray that is green when you system is "up to date" and yellow with exclamation mark when updates are available. I hope you like it.
Tell me if they work for you, or you have issues so I can fix them.
Also if you want something to be added or have some good idea or maybe you would want them to work for other DEs, I am open to ideas and suggestions for expanding them and making them better. But remember I am keen on the KISS idea and I will keep them as simple as possible.

Yes, sorry for my dumb question. I guess I actually wanted to ask if you planned to maintain an official Qt5 version. Also, might be useful to add your script in the AUR and to reference it in the wiki.

Checking for files using infoview

Hi
I am new to use Infoview in BO. In my project they are scheduling CR in infoview for a particular time. now new requirement is :
On nightly basis files will be send for each region.once they are loaded message will be generated using script in unix. Now my part is to login to the unix server and check for the message(access to the path will be provided. message may be content in file or may be a touch file.not my part) and the schedule timing through infoview and should run the report.
To schedule report for a particular time i went into schedule option and given database details where CR is present,destination details to where it need to be ftped and the format of output and timine on which the report need to be run.
But i dont know the process how to login to unix server and check for message.
Please let me know is there any option for the baove requirement in infoview.
Thanks in advance.

CMC is the administration console. I would recommend to take a look at the following document:

[SOLVED] Arch has pacman -Qkk "Size mismatch" for files in /usr !

Hello!
With following command I was checking on files that differ from it's original versions in mtree:
pacman -Qlkk 2>/tmp/pacman_size_mismatch 1>/dev/null; cat /tmp/pacman_size_mismatch | grep "Size mismatch" | grep -v /etc/
Files in /usr look suspicious, because /usr should only have read-only data (according to wiki):
warning: linux: /usr/lib/modules/3.12.7-2-ARCH/modules.alias (Size mismatch)
warning: linux: /usr/lib/modules/3.12.7-2-ARCH/modules.alias.bin (Size mismatch)
warning: linux: /usr/lib/modules/3.12.7-2-ARCH/modules.dep (Size mismatch)
warning: linux: /usr/lib/modules/3.12.7-2-ARCH/modules.dep.bin (Size mismatch)
warning: linux: /usr/lib/modules/3.12.7-2-ARCH/modules.symbols (Size mismatch)
warning: linux: /usr/lib/modules/3.12.7-2-ARCH/modules.symbols.bin (Size mismatch)
I have checked other machine and reinstalled linux package, but it seems like it's default behaviour.
Is there any explanation on that? Is this some error?

Just so you know, you don't need the 'l' in -Qlkk. Just -Qkk will yield the same results. If you use -Qlkk, pacman will first list all the files in every single package first, then give you the -Qkk results.

Checking for file whether it is excel file or not??

when ever we r download or upload a file we never check for its type...
like when gui_upload fm used then it should be text file ....or
when alsmex_excel_to_internal_table fm used by default check its have 2 be excel file...
but my recomend is when ever download/upload a file its checking its type....
if .xls file then alsmex_excel_to_internal_table fm runs or if .txt then gui_upload runs...
need some type of file checking..
Thanks & regards ,

Use thread to check for file exists. How?

public class FileSearcher extends Thread
     String name = "Unknown";
     //RunFileSearcher rfs = new RunFileSearcher(name);
     //FileSearcher rfs = new FileSearcher(name);
     File f = new File();
     Thread t = new Thread(); // create the thread
     t.start(); // start the thread running
     public void run(name)
          if( f.exists(name) )
               System.out.println("*** File " + f + " has been created. ***");
          else
               System.out.println("Searching for file " + f) ;
}How do I use each thread to check for each file exists per sec??
Please Help Thanks

1) Why are you using Threads?
2) It is preferrable to implement Runnable.
3) This is all incredibly pointless (see point 1)

Still Happening - Software HANGING while "Checking for device application updates...."

Windows Vista v4.7 of Blackberry Desktop Software
As soon as I plug my Blackberry in, the desktop software pops up message: "Checking for device application updates....." and it hangs.
I've tried rebooting, re-installing the Desktop Software and sometimes this will solve the problem for a few syncs, but it always comes back.
I tried changing the USB connection from my USB hub directly into the back of the computer and this fixed the problem for a few syncs but now it's BACK AGAIN!!!
Please help!!

I'm having this problem with Windows 7, build 7000. If I unplug my USB connection, the desktop manager seems to unblock, then stops again. Is there an issue with the device driver, jvm incompatabilities?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Checking for file extensions

I have a form that I want to submit a csv file to, however I would like to check the file to make sure that it is indeed .csv before I perform the task that I need to do
*****************Example***********************
form.html
<form name=vo_verify action=verify.jsp method=post>
<input type=file>
<input type=submit>
</form>
verify.jsp
return true == .csv
return false != .csv

Could you do a check for the substring within the filename?
Like,
String filename = (String)request.getParameter("file");
int index = filename.indexOf(".csv");
if (index == -1) do something; //extension .csv not found
else do something else;
There might be a better way to do this, but this should work I think.
Also, bdtjdc was just trying to help, which is what this forum is for. :)

System recovery failure - Hangs on Check for medium in drive E

I am currently installing a new hard drive on my Satellite P300 laptop (running vista home premium service pack 2).
I have fitted the new hard drive and inserted the first recovery disc and the recovery process starts okay. The following is shown on the screen :
Waiting for ODD to become available...
ODD Drive E: ready.
Check for medium in drive E:...
At this point it proceeds no further and a cursor just spins continuously.
Is anybody able to suggest how to fix this problem and complete the recovery?
Many thanks
Adrian

Hello Dr Lamp
Many thanks for your response.
I will try again later and check the BIOS.
I have never done the recovery before so I was unsure what to expect. I had done two sets of system recovery disks in case there was ever a problem with one of them, but I get the same problem with both.
I have a Vista installation disk so I can do a clean installation that way and then add the Toshiba drivers which I can copy from the current hard drive. I am just concerned that doing it that way will inevitably result in losing some aspects of the laptop functionality that was originally part of its installation from Toshiba rather than Microsoft.
I know where the Toshiba driver folder is located but you can guarantee that there will be something that is located elsewhere that turns out to be critical to some part of the laptops performance!
Once again thanks for your response and I will post any findings.
Adrian
