Pacman not reading /etc/pacman.conf???

All right, I'm sorta new to linux and VERY new to Arch. Love what I see so far, but I've got a little problem.
I've uncommented out and added some repositories in /etc/pacman.conf, but when I run pacman -Syu it only sync's up with the core and extra's database. I have uncommented out testing, and added the kdemod repos... What am I doing wrong???
pacman -Syu
::Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
local database is up to date
Argh!

Yep, should've done that. Sorry!

  • Firewire module install with rpm not updating "/etc/grub.conf" file

    Hello,
    Thank you in advance! I am trying to setup Oracle10g RAC on RedHat Enterprise Linux ES 4.0. As a part of that process, I am trying to install the shared disk (Firewire) module on the node using 'rpm' as follows:
    rpm -ivh --force oracle-firewire-modules-2.6.9.EL-1286-1.i686.rpm
    It is getting installed perfectly. However, I am expecting with "-ivc" option, it is supposed to update "/etc/grub.conf" file. But it is not updating this file. Therefore reboot could NOT load this module and can not proceed further. Any help on this is really appreciated!
    Thanks again,
    Kishore

    karol's link did the deed!  I had gone to the page that shows the most up to date mirrors and used that for the install. But when I used the link that karol gave it not only gave me the same URL as I used earlier to install, it gave me some additional suffixes that didn't appear on the page that provided the updated links. When I added /$repo/os/$arch, pacman took off and started burning rubber. So many thanks!
    Now I can go ahead and install reflector, which is the first thing I try and do when I get an Arch install up and running. Thanks again.
    After seeing karol's script in post#4, I see that the /$repo/os//4arch was showing up there also. I didn't see anything like that when I copied the link to install.

  • Could not read /etc/netconfig

    I get that error message on my console everytime I try to start the rpcbind service. The command svcs -x shows the service is currently in maintenance. Doing svcadm clear bind to try start the service manually produces that error message.
    Error started coming up after I installed BIND 9.4.1-P1 and brought over zone files from another server (A Solaris 8 box). The files I brought over were opied via a taf file.

    This is just a shot in the dark, but by chance was "Secure By Default" enabled when the s10 box was installed? I'm digging my way through a NIST hardening document for Solaris, and throughout the document it talks about how rpcbind is impacted in a number of ways. Particularly in reference to TCP Wrapping.

  • Web Server reads /etc/apache2 config after upgrade to 10.8.1

    I just updated one of my servers to 10.8.1 from 10.8. It seems with the ML update the OSX Server configuration files in
    /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2
    are no longer being read; instead, the non-server configuration files in
    /etc/apache2 get read. I was wondering if anyone knew an easy fix? Also, DocumentRoot was set to an external drive
    /Volume/Library. The update created a folder at my mount point containing a default WebDocuments in it. My external
    drive ends up being mounted at Library 1. Why?

    The first part of this question is actually partially explained by the second part. ML Server was not reading /etc/apache2, it was reading the osx configuration file, but somehow after the upgrade it was creating a new folder at the mount point of my external drive being used to hold my webdocuments. This seemed to happen before my drive got mounted (obviously). Deleting this folder and restarting seemed to fix the issue.

  • [Solved]Add kernel26 to IgnorePkg in /etc/pacman.conf. Not ignored.

    Using kdemod4.3(32bit).  I re-installed kernel26-2.6.30.5-1-i686(earliest in pacman  pkg cache) and added kernel26 and kernel-headers to /etc/pacman.conf IgnorePkg but # "pacman -Syu" still asks to upgrade kernel to 2.30.6-1-i686. What do I add to that IgnorePkg to avoid kernel upgrade? Tried kernel, kernel26 and kernel26*. Adding nvidia,nvidia-utils and xorg-server to Ignorepkg give me that thee aren't upgraded(desirred result). Thanx.

  • /etc/pacman.conf question..

    This may have been asked before, but I could not find it...
    <yes, I did use the search on the forums...  >
    I was wondering if the NoUpgrade option in pacman.conf uses shell-like wildcard expansion...
    Does the following work?
    NoUpgrade = etc/host*
    shell expansion should expand this to
    /etc/host.conf
    /etc/hosts
    /etc/hosts.allow
    /ec/hosts.deny
    will pacman do the same?

    No, but it would be nice to have something like that (or perhaps better with regexp)
    BTW, regexp support for targets was already in pacman wishlist.
    I've added noupgrade/ignorepkg options to it.
    To be continued...

  • Can't write to pacman.conf -- Read only file

    Hello everybody,
    I'm a complete noob when it comes to installing (arch) linux. I just installed (a part of) arch linux to my old computer, but I'm stuck now.
    I used the Arch Linux beginners guide and now I'm at the part where I need to configure pacman.
    But once I'm trying to adjust something in pacman.conf the computer tells me it's a read only file.
    I also can't udate the system when I use pacman -Syu I get: error: failed to update core/extra/community (unable to lock database)
    Btw I installed syslinux and I'm logged in as root.
    I hope you can help me with this and that i'm not asking a really dumb question.
    Thanks in advance!

    And here is my mount output
    That's not even the full /etc/fstab. It's horrible.
    Add a tmpfs like in the fstab wiki entry. It's probably because you used one ">" when using genfstab (my bad, sorry).

  • Hi accidentally overwrote new pacman.conf with /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew

    Hi
    I accidentally overwrote etc/pacman.conf with the old /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew.
    Pacman now appears to work but disregards the signing of packages.
    Is there an copy of the pacman.conf from the upgrade around so I can merge
    the two files. perhaps pacman.conf~, but no I think this is overwritten too.

    Hi Trilby,

    The pacnew version includes everything for package signing.  All you will have lost is any personal changes you have made.
    The package signing lines are, however, commented out except for the "SigLevel = Never" line.  Just read the instructions within the comments and uncomment the appropriate SigLevel line (and comment the "Never" line).

  • Pacman.conf.pacsave etc?

    I recently upgraded my system to the newer packages and I noticed some messages when I did this. The pacman.conf.save as well as rc.local.pacsave and a few others were listed as being created. What wasn't clear was what I am supposed to do with these multiple files.
    I noticed that the pacman.conf file was actually different than my original as the IGNOREPKG line was commented whereas I had mine commented out.
    So, can this be clarified? Perhaps even a list of the files that typically get replaced and what users are supposed to do with them.
    Thanks in advance.

    Anything with a .pacsave extension is a configuration file that has been backed up. Your previous pacman.conf file was moved to /etc/pacman.conf.pacsave and the new file from the new package was placed in as /etc/pacman.conf.
    To prevent that from happening, add etc/pacman.conf to one of the NoUpgrade lines in pacman.conf. Then the next time pacman is upgraded, your original config will be preserved and the new file will be saved as /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew.

  • Warning: config file /etc/pacman.conf, line 19: directive 'SyncFirst'

    what is the new syntax for 'SyncFirst' in pacman 4.1?

    need this to update kernel headers before update kernel, because i use mkinitcpio to update DKMS modules [1]

  • Kdemod removed from pacman.conf but not from /var/lib/pacman

    Hello all
    I have been using kdemod repository for some time.
    Since I use Gnome I have removed all my kde/qt applications and I have removed kdemod repository from pacman.conf
    Is it normal to still have kdemod into /var/lib/pacman ?
    Can I safely remove /var/lib/pacman/kdemod (not /var/lib/pacman of course) ?
    Why pacman does not remove it when syncing if no more present in pacman.conf ?
    Is it a bug ? a feature ?
    Thank you for your help !
    Cheers,
    Chicha.

    shining wrote:I think this has little interest, since the repo will be downloaded again on next -Sy anyway.
    It's probably neither a bug, nor a feature, rather the lack of a feature, because checking that
    some folders in /var/lib/pacman/ doesn't match a section in pacman.conf would require extra code.
    Ooops I thought I checked for this hehe.
    Are you sure pacman downloads the whole database everytime?
    I just did an update:
    yaourt -Sy
    :: Synchronizing package databases...
    testing is up to date
    current is up to date
    extra 270.5K 299.4K/s 00:00:01 [##################################################] 100%
    community 291.4K 302.8K/s 00:00:01 [################################################] 100%
    compiz-fusion is up to date
    local database is up to date
    If a repo is uptodate it doesn't download the database, so pacman must check that somehow.
    Also, it show that to sync extra, 270.5K was transferred, is that the entire extra repo?
    When I check the size of /var/lib/pacman/extra it's 5.7 Megs. Maybe the repo is compressed,
    transferred, and then decompressed on each sync.
    If that's the case, as you say my argument doesn't hold much water

  • Yaourt (0.9.4-2) (aur) ignores IgnorePkg rules in /etc/pacman.conf

    Usually doing yaourt -Syu --aur goes through and updates all of the packages I installed from aur unless the package is among those listed in the IgnorePkg array in pacman.conf.  However, the recently updated yaourt from aur simply ignores the rule and prompts me to upgrade the package anyways.  For example, I see this for bin32-wine.

    opened a bug report:

  • Pacman looking for pacman.conf in the wrong place?

    When using yaourt, I had been getting an error message to do with pacman.conf not being found. I fixed this by creating my own and saving it in
    /usr/local/etc/pacman.conf
    (it's the only file in /usr/local/etc)
    I then got the error message:
    failed to initialize alpm library (could not find or read directory)
    After some googling and learning about the find command, I found the following files:
    /usr/lib/libalpm.so
    /usr/lib/libalpm.so.8
    /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libalpm.pc
    /usr/lib/libalpm.so.8.0.2
    So I'm guessing that I do have the alpm library, but pacman (or Yaourt?) isn't finding it.
    Further use of 'find' found the following versions of pacman:
    /usr/local/etc/pacman.conf
    /etc/pacman.conf
    Which then lead me to believe that I have the necessary files but they are in the wrong place or there is a config file (or something) that I need to alter.
    Any ideas what I've done wrong and how to correct it?
    Thanks, James

    I've just tried
    pacman -S man-pages
    as a test, and it worked ok.
    So, Bug Wrangler is probably right. Any ideas how I fix it, or is the solution to start again? If I need to start again, is there an easy way to remove yaourt?
