Check your pacman.conf and mirrorlist to make sure that you haev the mirrors listed correctly.
Also post the exact error here, so we can have a look.

[SOLVED] Can I install Gnome 3 alongside KDE?

Long story short, I hated everything about Gnome 3 when it first came out, but 3.10 (and 3.12) look sleek. I've just installed it in VBox and it seems great, though there are some graphical issues (I'm guessing that's because of the VBox).
Currently running Arch as a host, with KDE 4.12 installed. I remember back in the old days you could install both DEs easily and switch between them in the login manager - is this still the case? Should I simply do a pacman -S install gnome and that's it? The main question is - this should not cause any issues, correct?
Cheers,
Bo

Try using gnome classic. Its preconfigured gnome-shell so it looks a little bit like gnome2, but with the gnome3 functionality... and its lightweight (in comparisson to KDE4). Which was the main reason why I switched from xfce4 to gnome3. (and i am using the gnome-classic one) KDE takes too long to load IMHO and thats something I cannot live with.

[SOLVED] Install Gnome DE without Pulse Audio?

I currently have XFCE4, E17 and Fluxbox installed. I was thinking about installing Gnome DE. But I have alsa set up nicely and I do NOT want pulseaudio (Pulseaudio seems to be nothing but headaches for me.)
So is there a way through pacman that I can install Gnome DE, extras and tools while forcing it not to install pulseaudio? If so will this cause Gnome DE to be unstable or unusable?

So, no you can't. But you can choose not to use it.
I was afraid of that. Thanks for the reply.
In the past I have done that, chose not to use it. But I was hoping I could just not install it from the start and not have to go through that. I think I will not install Gnome. It did have some tools that I liked but I am finding alternatives already. So I will just keep what I have and add only what I need/want.

On openbox what happens if i install gnome-vfs ???

i have an openbox system
with thunar and without nautilus or gnome apps ....
so, what happens if i install gnome-vfs ??? there will be any software problems such as conflicts
OR
how i can stop this service ???
thanks to all

It will destroy your system. You can't believe how Gnome and Openbox hate each other's guts!
Seriously... Did you try it with pacman? If there are conflicts, pacman should detect them. And pacman, upon inquiring it about gnome-vfs, should tell you exactly what it will pull in.

[NOT SOLVED] Gnome will not start

I'm editing this original message by way of summing up so that anyone coming here with a similar problem will know what to expect if they read further:
I believe the reason Gnome would not start on the machine in question was that it made too many demands on the available hardware (see desm0te's comments below).
For this reason I decided to switch to LXDE as Desktop Environment which works well on the restricted hardware. I did not investigate the Gnome related problem any further.
The original message follows:
After a successful installation of the basic command-line Arch according to the Beginner's Guide, I went on to install Gnome according to instructions in the Wiki.
I Did not want Gnome to start automatically but only when I type in the command startx.
This it does, but all I get is the nice blue "curtain" background - no black bar at top of screen with Actions, date , name etc...
and no cursor.
One funny thing was - this afternoon while I was concentrating on another machine - the black bar suddenly appeared (apparently for no reason) showing the date and my name but with the X cursor
from the X11 environment. However as soon as I moved this cursor to the bar and clicked, both dursor and bar disappeared never to return .
I decided to redirect the stderr of startx to a file in the hope that it would give a clue as to what was wrong.

desm0tes:
To take your points one by one:
1. I am now quite happy with LXDE too. The problems I mentioned last night seem to have gone (???!!!) and I can just start LXDE from my user account. Maybe later, I'll realize what I was doing wrong or rather what I did to make it work... . Now I just type:
startx
having put:
exec ck-launch-session startlxde
in .xinitrc.
2. Thanks for the tip about yaourt. I shall try that sooner or later.
3. Well as I said - I don't understand what I was doing wrong - which makes me feel a bit stupid and is rather annoying but looking on the bright side it's fine to be able to start-up, have a legible screen and logout successfully - which I couln't do before. I now have to figure out how to expand the contents of LXDE a bit but that's the fun of it!
LXDE starts up nicely with minimal possibilties but I can change look & feel and customize the panel settings.
"Menu" contains:
Accessories:
File Manager
Image Viewer
LXTerminal
Leafpad
Xarchiver
Internet:
Avahi SSH Server Browser
Avahi VNC Server Browser
Office:
ePDFViewer
System Tools:
Avahi Zerconf Browser
Task Manager
Preferences:
Customize Look and Feel
Monitor Settings
OPenbox Configuration Maanger
Preferred Applications
Run
Logout
All of these start up OK and work, on cursory examination, except the Avahi Browsers which I don't understand and which appear to do nothing as no window appears on screen.
4. I'm not quite sure I can yet see the use of a login manager such as SLiM, since I seem to get on quite nicely without it but since I've heard it mentioned a lot I'm sure I'm just missing the point.

Question about installing Gnome

Hey everyone. I'm currently a Ubuntu user planning on trying out Arch Linux after my exams are done (in 2 weeks ).
I understand that in order to install Gnome, i need to update pacman using the commands 'pacman -Syu' and 'pacman -Syy'. After this process i can install gnome by using the command 'pacman -S gnome gnome-extra'.
However, one thing that i couldn't find was whether or not this command will install the latest version of Gnome, which i believe is version 2.24.
One other general question i have is, how do i know which version the application i'm trying to install is when the commands are simply 'pacman -S [application name]'?
Thanks for your help.

Use pacman -Ss [application name]. The second small 's' means search, so using pacman -Ss gnome would show you everything with 'gnome' in it's name. Among them is gnome-desktop, which shows as version 2.24.2-1

Thanks Bob!

[SOLVED] pacman is unable to remove openbox

I installed openbox yesterday to try it out and now when I try to remove it by writing
sudo pacman -Rns openbox
I get the following error,
error: target not found
I've tried updating my mirrorlist with reflector, also tried pacman -Syyu but I keep getting the same error again and again. Where did I go wrong?

After installing gnome packages, always black screen when startx

Hello everyone,
I am a newbie to Arch Linux, also not quite experienced at bare-bones Linux installation. I installed Arch Linux by following the steps in the installation guide up to X. Then I installed X by referring to the wiki Beginner's Guide: pacman -S xorg-server xorg-server-utils xorg-xinit. Then I installed vmware video: pacman -S extra/xf86-video-vmware. Now I tested startx. It works fine, tmw fires up, xterm windows open and xclock displaying. I can also switch to other virtual consoles by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1~F6 (on VMware, I do Ctrl+Alt+(Space,F1))
Then I did: pacman -S gnome. Because I didn't startx during the installation, and I didn't install dbus by that time, I got some warning message regarding dbus, "GConf-WARNING **: Client failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon:", but that was installing gnome-shell, gnome-terminal, etc., so I guess it doesn't affect gnome startup. However, after this installation, startx goes into a black screen and cannot switch to other virtual consoles by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Fn. And even if I remove all files from /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d, leaving only the /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc (and no ~/.xinitrc), it still doesn't work. The /etc/xinit/xinitrc contains starting of twm, xterm and xclock near its end.
Could some experts shed some light on this?
Thanks a lot and best regards,
Robbie

Following your suggestion and search, I found this:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=158882
I uninstalled the vmware video driver (pacman -R local/xf86-video-vmware) and installed the vesa driver (pacman -S extra/xf86-video-vesa). Now the desktop is visible, but freezes after being visible. I'll try to revert to x.org 1.13 and retry.

How indeed to install gnome desktop system?

Last night I installed a core system of archlinux.
I searched the wiki and find a section describes how to install gnome.
But after I do like its describtion, gnome did not work, It prompt : cannot open display.
And when I typed "startx", it prompts" startx: cannot find command".
So I installed xorg:
pacman -S xorg
Then when I typed startx,it appeared a xterm system.
In the commandline prompt I typed "gnome-seseion", then it appeared a gnome system like this :
I want a system that do not enter gnome system until I type "startx". How to do it ?
I think the wiki should be updated, and be checked before pulished!

One, pacman -S gnome gnome-extra.
Two, pacman -S gamin and allow it to replace FAM.
Three, add hal gdm to your DAEMONS array in /etc/rc.conf, and remove fam if it's there.
Four, /etc/rc.d/hal restart && /etc/rc.d/gdm restart.
Five, profit.

Cannot install gnome

I have installed arch 2007.08.2 and have uncommented core, extra, community and unstable then run pacman -suyd. When I then try to install gnome I get this error
[root@arch ~]# pacman -S gnome
:: group gnome:
control-center epiphany gnome-applets gnome-backgrounds gnome-desktop
gnome-icon-theme gnome-media gnome-mime-data gnome-mount gnome-panel
gnome-session gnome-themes gnome2-user-docs metacity nautilus yelp

resolving dependencies...
error: cannot resolve dependencies for "libxklavier" ("libxkbfile" is not in the package set)
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: libxklavier requires libxkbfile>=1.0.4
Please can someone help?

As Allan suggested already, try a different mirror. It is on the main mirror, so probably there is just something wrong with your mirror.

Can't install gnome

I have just installed arch for the first time and I am trying to get a desktop up and running.
When I attempt to install gnome with pacman -S gnome it gives me some crap about a python dependency not being met. It says "error: cannot resolve "readline>-6.0.00", a dependency of "python"
Everything is synced and up to date.

tried again a few days ago and it worked mysteriously

Tiny note about GNOME page

From http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gnome:
Using the Gnome system tools may require you to insert your user to the group stb-admin by:
Otherwise you may encounter the "The configuration could not be loaded. You are not allowed to access the system configuration." error message.
I've just installed "gnome-system-tools 2.28.1-1" and can see the group «stb-admin» isn't present (grep stb-admin /etc/group -- the exit status is 1).
So, was it true for GNOME 2.26, wasn't it?

Well, now that you mentioned it, I just noticed this in my pacman.log:
[2009-10-14 19:18] Removing stb-admin group
[2009-10-14 19:18] ==> Daemon method deprecated. Now is starting automatically at login
[2009-10-14 19:18] ==> Remove stbd from DAEMONS list

[2009-10-14 19:18] upgraded gnome-system-tools (2.22.2-1 -> 2.28.0-1)
stb-admin is not needed as of version 2.28 of gnome-system-tools and the group is gone.
Added a small note in the wiki page.

Install Gnome 3 extensions via firefox

I'm using Arch x64 with Gnome 3.2.1 and Firefox 8.0.1 on my laptop, the Firefox Gnome Shell Plugin is installed and activated.
I can browse through the extensions on https://extensions.gnome.org/ and I can see the activate/deactivate switches and trigger them. After that I'm beeing asked if I really want to install this extension but after I click on the install button nothing happens. The "installed extensions" tab on the site is empty. No error message at all. Is there a log file for firefox extensions or gnome itself?
I looked through the log files in /var/log/* but didn't found anything.
On my desktop with the same setup of software the install process works like a charm.

I got the package list from kahelos, and installed the following (missing ones got installed), now extensions can be installed from extensions.gnome.org.
application's optional dependencies are not installed which package groups like gnome.
I still don't know which package fixed/enabled the extensions feature for gnome 3.2 and firefox. I installed archlinux64 with xorg, gnome, gnome-extra, gstreamer groups. There are still too many manual minor dependency management in a fresh install.

[Solved] Pacman suggests that gnome-control-center could be removed?

Hi,
On my Gnome 3.2.1 Arch box, pacman -Qdt returns gnome-control-center 3.2.1-1...
It seems that this package (albeit it is not required by any other package on my box) has been installed as a dependency (that's pacman -Qi says...).
Furthermore, i suppose that removing it would make Gnome a little bit less usable...
Anyway, each time i remove "pending" packages listed by pacman -Qdt, i skip this one. But, i wonder if there is a reason why it appears in the list and why it is not marked as required by some gnome package.

Thanks, Wonder...
On my "Arch Testing" Virtual box, i've noticed that this package was marked as explicitely installed... so my first idea was to remove it on my Arch Stable box to reinstall it but your solution is far simpler.

Installing Gnome 3 broke vmware

Today I installed Gnome 3 and right after that I'm unable to launch vmware workstation.
I'm using 2.6.38-ARCH on a 64bit intel with nvidia 270.30-4 drivers. Is anyone else having the same problem?

edit: Forgot to mention that after first launch vmware suggested me to update the Kernel modules. Did that. Also added the neccessary patch.

I'm having the same problems, I did a large pacman -Syu but I use awesome, not gnome3 (although it is installed)
