Pacman only searching Core, it seems. [Solved]
Today, something went wrong with my FS which led me to booting into the ArchLinux liveCD, and fsck-ing it. After the cleanup, everything seemed to work. However, I am now noticing that pacman isn't working as it should. It seems that it's only searching the Core repos.
If I typed
sudo pacman -Ss
, it only lists core packages. I'm also trying to install the package "python-simplejson" so I can install and try "Gwibber". However, it is in the community repos, so I can't access it. I doubled checked, but trying to install "gnote", but again, pacman couldn't find it.
I hope you can help. I have tried "sudo pacman -Syy" to download a new package database, aswell as the futile "sudo pacman-optomize && sync", but nothing has worked. Please chip in, if you can.
Here is some further information that might be required.

Just removed the prefered servers from /etc/pacman.conf - doesn't seem to have fixed the problem. And /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist is definately there.
Here it is: (sorry about the length..)

Pacman only searches or installs from core
Hi folks,
I seem to have developed an odd problem. My pacman only searches or installs (or sees) packges from core. My pacman.conf has core, extra and community enabled, -Syu updates all 3 of these repositories but any searches or attempt to touch any packages other than core results in a not found error. E.g. extra/sdl was installed. I removed it using -Rd but now can't install it or find it in a search.
[mongrol@scarce Downloads]$ sudo pacman -Ss sdl
[mongrol@scarce Downloads]$ sudo pacman -S sdl
sdl package not found, searching for group...
error: 'sdl': not found in sync db
[mongrol@scarce Downloads]$
Any help much appreciated.Hmm, Tried that. It says it's done it but it hasn't really. Here's the debug output from a -Ss sdl.

I just installed Arch but I can't get pacman to check any repositories other than core. Ie,
$ pacman -Sl extra
returns nothing.

What could I be missing? The pacman.d files are all identical.peart wrote:Try "sudo pacman -Sy" first. If you just installed, you might need to get the package lists for the other repos.
Silly me. That fixed it.

That's wrong. The lines should contain the repo name, e.g. for /etc/pacman.d/community

Yeah, I know, I meant "identical" as far as practical comparison purposes go, given that each file has a unique purpose. -
Pacman, reflector & mirror list question (seems SOLVED from responses)
When i update mirrors from the home page.. all the mirrors are commented out.. I save it as mirrorlist
then run the reflector command..
does it ONLY rank the number of mirrors i ask for in the United States.. or mirrors right down the list that ive copied and pasted in mirror list??
the reason I ask.. cause i opened up the mirrorlist that got ranked by reflector and 2 of them are from Brazil... and not even in the US list..
should I just copy the US mirrors, then run reflector??
am i doing something wrong??
i dont want to get strange, incompatable packages... I hope I'm asking this correctly..
and when i used to update pacman -Syyu.. it happened in seconds..now it takes almost a min (not that this is alot of time, but its slower then it ever was) and it's only updating via 5 mirrors from the reflector command..
so should i only copy the US mirrors into mirrorlist then run reflector or copy entire mirror list then run reflector..
whats the best way?
dont want to screw up my system
thanks

> dont want to screw up my system
I don't thnk you can crash&burn it this way. It's just a list of mirrors.

[solved] pacman apart from core and extra repos
I just can't get pacman to update any other repos apart from core and extra since I am on arch64 - tried to change servers directly in pacman.conf and in the include files, unpacked the databases manually to /var/lib/pacman - can't seem to persue it though - what am I missing here?

My safari browser seems to have been taken over by a malicious program called only-search. Does any one know how to uninstall this program from safari? I am running osX 10.10.
There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. -

I tried removing core.db from /var/lib/pacman/sync/ and I changed SigLevel to Never in pacman.conf. I've tried other keyservers, and I've tried different mirrors. I'm not sure what to do from this point. I need pacman to continue building my system, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi I'm running Addressbook and cannot clear previous entry easily when searching my data base of around 5,000 contacts.
I prefer to view in All contacts on a double page spread with details on the right page. Searching doesn't seem to work correctly in this view.
It's always the second search that is problematic.
I've tried typing over and all it seems to do is confine the search to the the entries that have come up for the previous search.
I've tried to use the x to clear the previous entry and then type the next search, same problem. The only way seems to be to move from "All Contacts" to "Groups". Then the searched name appears and I can return to All Contacts to see full details.
Surely three key press' are not the way it's supposed to work?

Hi, I have iPad 2, when I buy it it has old iOS. Then I update it now it has 5.1.1 iOS and modern firmware 4.12.01. After update my wifi is not working. Only searching for wifi. 3G working well. But wifi olso worked with old iOS. So what can do ? Pls
Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

MSI P35 Neo & Core2Duo E6550, Windows & CPU-Z finds ONLY 1 core...?
Windows device maneger shows only one core for my system. Is this normal bahaviour?
Also CPU-Z indicates one core. Is there something I can do to solve this issue?

Note: If one or both of the first two Options is disabled at the moment and you have to enable them, Windows may not boot anymore. You will have to Re-install the OS or try a repair installation. Windows XP is not able to automatically adjust to the changes automatically.
There is a fastest way without bother to repair or reinstall OS..
We can force desired HAL by this way, the method used is very usefull and can be applied even when OS doesn't provide choice for manual HAL update.
(etc: desired HAL is not listed as choice... Windows often becomes rather stupid...):
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC & ACPI Uniprocessor PC use the same kernels, etc: only specify hal is enough:
in boot.ini ---> /hal=halacpi.dll (for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC) and /hal=halaacpi.dll (for ACPI Uniprocessor PC)
NOTE: files should already exist into system32 folder. file version should match with currently version installed. if you got SP2 get files from here:
"C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386\sp2.cab", open with winzip and get correct hal which you need:
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC ----> halacpi.dll
ACPI Uniprocessor PC -------> halaacpi.dll
ACPI Multiprocessor PC -------> halmacpi.dll
or use microsoft expand if you don't have winzip:
cmd, go to C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386\
type from there:
expand sp2.cab -F:myhal.dll c:\windows\system32
where myhal.dll= your chosen hal (halacpi.dll, halaacpi.dll or halmacpi.dll)
for XP without SP2, same procedure but look for HAL files into "\I386" XP installation folder(and those syntax from there:)
expand HALACPI.DL_ %systemroot%\system32\HALACPI.DLL
or expand HALMACPI.DL_ %systemroot%\system32\HALMACPI.DLL
or expand HALAACPI.DL_ %systemroot%\system32\HALAACPI.DLL
or to force directly to default hal:
booting from recovery console command prompt, or from other location and load NTFS mounter with read&write NTFS support:
navigate to root OS drive and go to OS root directory(%windir%) into system32 folder:
example: (where C is OS root drive, and "windows" is OS root folder)
C:
cd windows\system32
ren hal.dll hal.old
cd "c:\windows\driver cache\i386"
expand sp2.cab -F:myhal.dll c:\windows\system32 /* where myhal.dll should be replaced with one of chosen hal: halacpi.dll, halaacpi.dll or halmacpi.dll */
cd "c:\windows\driver cache\i386"
ren myhal.dll hal.dll /* where myhal.dll should be replaced with one of chosen hal: halacpi.dll, halaacpi.dll or halmacpi.dll */
for ACPI Multiprocessor PC we need to update kernels too, go to c:\windows\system32 and make backup 1st: (under pure DOS, or different OS)
force ACPI Multiprocessor PC:
cd c:\windows\system32
ren ntkrnlpa.exe ntkrnlpa.old
ren ntoskrnl.exe ntoskrnl.old
ren hal.dll hal.old /* backup hal too, gona replace it also */
cd "c:\windows\driver cache\i386"
expand sp2.cab -F:halmacpi.dll c:\windows\system32
expand sp2.cab -F:ntkrpamp.exe c:\windows\system32
expand sp2.cab -F:ntkrnlmp.exe c:\windows\system32
cd c:\windows\system32
ren halmacpi.dll hal.dll
ren ntkrpamp.exe ntkrnlpa.exe
ren ntkrnlmp.exe ntoskrnl.exe
reboot PC you have done, no modification into boot.ini is required. at XP startup will detect new hal installed and will be asked for reboot. you have switched to ACPI Multiprocessor PC.
You can review default HAL files and restore it if you don't have backup(if you skip or forgot to make backup) from looking here: \Windows\Repair\Setup.log search for "HAL" inside will find original file name locations.
also HAL query can be obtained from this registry key: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\ACPI_HAL\0000\HardwareID
The thing that need to take attention is that:
Make sure that HAL along with both kernels will be from same SP, etc: if you currently use SP2 dig for HAL file & kernels in:
C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386\sp2.cab
respective if you are using SP3:
C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386\sp3.cab
If no there is no SP installed look for them in I386 folder in XP installation disk.
Takes less than 2 minutes, and switch to desired HAL without troubles. -
Every time I used to open a new tab it comes as top site. Now not anymore , instead it open in a website called Only Search, I went to safari preferences and made all changes but after I quit Safari and open again all changes are gone. I can not change anything and new tab comes by it self with other website.
There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "Downlite" or "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the support article, you may also need to remove this item in the same way:
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This malware is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked. -
More than 5 query IDs in the search core results web part?
I need to have six search results web parts on the same page, all using the FASTSearch location, but each with a separate Search Action Links web part to sort it. But there are only 5 cross-web part query IDs available. Is it possible to
extend the Search Core Results web part to have more than 5 queryIDs?

Second mac in cluster uses only one core
Hello all. For some reason the second computer in my render farm is using only one core out of eight.
I'm using 2 Mac Pros linked together directly via giga ethernet wire. Mac one is a Quad Core 3ghz. Mac two is a Octo Core 2009 model. Both computers have the same version of FCS3 with different serial numbers.
In the Qmaster preferance pane: Mac one is set to "Quickcluster with services" with the check boxes for Share and Managed next to "Distributed processing for Compressor" checked. 4 instances selected and "Include unmanaged services from other computers" checked. Mac two is set to "Services only" with check box for Share next to "Distributed processing for Compressor" checked. 8 instances selected and "Include unmanaged services from other computers" checked.
I hit submit in Compressor, select the name of the cluster from Mac one, then in the Batch Monitor I see the video divied into 10 sections with Mac one handling 4 and Mac two handling one. On Mac two I see that the cores aren't fired up 100%, more like 30% on average.
I did a test earlier with a dual core mbp, and again only one core. How do I get my Octo core to use all 8 cores?Solved the problem. The solution was simple, but somehow went under my radar. On Mac two in the Qmaster preferance pane next to the "Options for selected service" button, the selected service was set to off.
