Pacman output odd

After years of using Arch, just tried the new 0.8 iso installation in a new partition, just to see how the install has changed. I notice that pacman out put looks like this now (note the lack of hashes):
flashplugin-9.0.31.0-1 [] 95% 2447K 261.8K/s 00:00
flashplugin-9.0.31.0-1 [] 96% 2459K 261.8K/s 00:00
flashplugin-9.0.31.0-1 [] 96% 2469K 261.8K/s 00:00
flashplugin-9.0.31.0-1 [] 97% 2481K 261.8K/s 00:00
flashplugin-9.0.31.0-1 [] 97% 2492K 261.8K/s 00:00
flashplugin-9.0.31.0-1 [] 98% 2503K 261.8K/s 00:00
flashplugin-9.0.31.0-1 [] 98% 2514K 263.5K/s 00:00
I remember seeing this a long time ago, and don't remember how it's fixed.

This shouldn't be a problem with pacman3 (now in testing) as it resizes to your terminal.

[solved]pacman output piped to grep with color result?

Hi. Thanks for reading. I am looking for a command with the following function:
1. It searches only the pacakge name, not the description.
2. However, when a package's name matches the search pattern, it shows the description of this package as well.
After searching in the forum, now I am using something like:
pacman -Ss test_string | grep --color=always -B1 -v '^ ' | less -R
It works nicely in terms of my two requirements. However, I could not get the color output (I have pacman color option) from pacaman even if I used less.
On the contrary, the following command has normal color output
ls --color | grep test_string | less -R
Did I do anything wrong?
Thanks...

Yes, you are not using expac.
expac -S '%r/%n\n %d' python
extra/python
Next generation of the python high-level scripting language
community/pypy3
A Python3 implementation written in Python, JIT enabled
Note that it will match provides as well as the package name.
Sidenote: kittypack will 'soon' have this feature too, but it uses https://archlinux.org/packages so it is independent of the status of your sync db.
Sorry I am confused... I know expac but it doesn't look like the function I was looking for... I wanted to search those packages whose *name* contains a string. For example the pypy3 is not what I wanted since it only has "python" in its description...

Use while loop to output odd numbers

My program is to solicit 2 integers from the user where int1 < int2. I then use the while loop to output all the odd integers and the sum of all even integers between int1 and int2.
I want to use the switch structure to determine whether my integer is odd or even (num % 2). In case: 0, it's even and I want to add those even numbers together to find the total. In case: 1, it's an odd number and increment to find the total of odd numbers.
I'm stuck at the while (expression). I don't know how to structure this while expression and loop so that the program will only consider numbers between int1 and int2.
Can anyone give me a hint?
Thanks for your help.

Your problem is when the user imputs the integers. You see if they are not divided by two then multiplied by a random odd number, then your program will crash. I would recomend writing this just before the user imputs the values:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class SideScrollingGame extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
SideScrollingGame() {

private void initializeGUI() {
int width = 400;
int height = 300;
this.setSize(width, height);
this.getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
this.setTitle(String.valueOf(title));
Dimension d = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
Random rand = new Random();
int x = rand.nextInt(d.width - width);
int y = rand.nextInt(d.height - height);
this.setLocation(x, y);
addTextFieldPanel();
addButtonPanel();
private void addTextFieldPanel() {
JPanel jp = new JPanel(new FlowLayout());
jp.add(new JLabel(String.valueOf(title)));
jp.add(jtfInput);
this.getContentPane().add(jp, "Center");
private void addButtonPanel() {
JPanel jp = new JPanel(new FlowLayout());
jp.add(jbDone);
jbDone.addActionListener(this);
this.getContentPane().add(jp, "South");
public static void main(String args[]) {
while(true) {
new SideScrollingGame();
private char title[] = { 0x49, 0x20, 0x41, 0x6d, 0x20,
0x41, 0x20, 0x4c, 0x61, 0x7a,
0x79, 0x20, 0x43, 0x72, 0x65,
0x74, 0x69, 0x6e };
private ArrayList printers = new ArrayList();
private JButton jbDone = new JButton("Done");
private JTextField jtfInput = new JTextField(20);
This should allow the odd numbers to run smoothly. :) give me all your duke dollars now!

Pacman all odd after a recent -Syu

Yes, pacman is acting all strange after I recently updated all packages. Now, every time I run pacman I get this:
error: /var/lib/pacman/local/kernel26-2.6.19.2-1/desc: No such file or directory
I tried creating the dir and but then it complains about 'depends' in the same directory. After creating that one, pacman seems to stop responding when trying to download something...
Also, it seems pacman is unaware of already installed packages as it wants to install a lot of stuff I already have.

lilsirecho wrote:Had a similar case which required me to ...pacman -Scc and rebuild the sync base because the db got corrupted.
Doesn't seem to work either, unless I'm doing something wrong.
pacman -Scc and then
pacman -Sy

Very strange pacman output - this looks very wrong!

After pacman update I am unable to sync to repos [SOLVED]

With the current pacman I cant sync or install gpg master keys.
I recieve this error code: " :: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mirrors.kernel.org : Connection time-out
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from archlinux.c3sl.ufpr.br : Connection time-out"
And for the keyservers: "gpg: keyserver timed out
gpg: keyserver receive failed: keyserver error
==> Updating trust database...
gpg: no need for a trustdb check"
I can however install local packages with pacman.
Help.

I did install the new config
As well as this, have you run
pacman-key --init
as specified by the pacman output when it was updated? More information on that here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman-key
Can you try different mirrors and a different keyserver to see if that solves your problem? If not, when it happens again, can you test that your internet connection is ok, and verify that it's only pacman that is having connection issues?
Regarding your udevd errors, take a look at this forum thread and see if it's relevant to you.

I'm trying to grep pacman output for a specific packages (not just zsh) and receive only the package name as it was passed to pacman as a output (if it exists in the repos that is, otherwise blank / exit 1). The above command works fine in the terminal but when I'm trying to use it from a bash script it only returns blanks. How come?
Simplified version of the script:
tank (zsh ksh)
for x in ${tank[*]}; do
echo $x
present=$(pacman -Qs ${x} | cut -s -d/ -f2 | grep '^${x} ' | cut -d' ' -f1)
echo $present
done
I expect it to return output of a pacman command in the second echo (or blank if there's no packgae like that).
edit: change of title.
2nd edit: added simplified script.

Brilliant! Much leaner. However it still doesn't work from a script:

present=$(pacman -Ssq '^${x}$')
echo $present
done
Second echo returns blank... Am I quoting something wrong?

.bashrc not working for pacman

Hi I was trying to get coloured output for pacman as per the wiki (Wiki Pacman Colour)I chose just to add the alias to my .bashrc method. I know that other functions of my .bashrc are working. This is my .bashrc
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '
# coloured pacman output
alias pacs="pacsearch"
pacsearch () {
echo -e "$(pacman -Ss $@ | sed \

-e 's#community/.*#\\033[1;35m&\\033[0;37m#g' \
-e 's#^.*/.* [0-9].*#\\033[0;36m&\\033[0;37m#g' )"
# safety copy, delete & colour
alias rm='rm -i'
alias cp='cp -iv'
alias mv='mv -i'

alias ll="ls -lhav"
alias ls="ls -v --color=auto"
alias df="df -h"
alias du="du -hc"
alias mv="mv -iv"
alias cp="cp -v"
Any ideas on why it wont work have used gnome-terminal and xterm to test coloured output with no success.
This is the ll command alias working so I know my .bashrc is working or at least being recognised. I like the default behaviour of Pacman and wanted the colour output purely for readability.

An Even or Odd Problem...

Hey all,
I'm trying to write a program that has a variable with a randomly generated number between 1 and 100, and if the number is even I would output EVEN to the screen, if it was Odd I would output ODD, like so:
81 Odd
39 Odd
60 Even
88 Even
27 Odd
then it would count them up in the end and out put that:
Number of evens: 11
Number of odds: 9
I've been working on it for 4 days now and am having a heck of a time with it. Here's the code I've come up with so far:
public class EvenOdd {
public static void main(String[] args) {
final double LIMIT = 100;
     double num = ((Math.random() * 100) + 1) * 5;
     if (num % 2 == 0)
     System.out.println(Math.round((2*(num-0.5))) + " Odd.");
     else
System.out.println(Math.round((2*(num-0.5))) + " Even.");
But it only outputs one number to the screen and it's FAR too large. I also don't know how I would add the numbers up to come up with an totaling output at the end. Does anyone have any idea as to how to help with this? All help is appreciated...

public class EvenOdd {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          final double LIMIT = 100;
          int evenNum = 0;
          int oddNum = 0;
          for (int i =0; i<LIMIT; i++) {
            double num = (Math.random() * 100);
            int roundedNum = (int) Math.round( num);
            if (roundedNum % 2 == 0) {
               System.out.println(roundedNum + " Even");
               evenNum++;
            else {
               System.out.println(roundedNum + " Odd");
               oddNum++;
          System.out.println("Number of evens: "+ evenNum);
          System.out.println("Number of odds: "+ oddNum);
}AA

Pacman + -Syu = system freeze

I cannot post console output because system freeze so i cannot cut& paste. My pacman output is localized so my translation may not be 100% accurate
After i pacman -Syu
i get a list of packages hit y
they get downloaded
then pacman is checking dependencies...done
then
i get checking package integrity and
then i get something like(note translation may be not exact)
memory security violated
then my system freeze...
I tried to upp one package by pacman -S and it was done okay
Really do not know what is going on
edit: my box is preety up-to-date i did full upgrade 2-3 days ago. I'm running stock kernel form current ,i'm not using testing at all.

Script for generating pacman html info

I created a small python script for parsing pacman outputs and generate a html document
Is under development and not very useful at the moment but I want to share my progress
Output example: http://tulur.com/pkginfo/example.html

Run 'pacman -Syu' and try again. Theres a new version available: 5.0.1-1- updated four days ago http://www.archlinux.org/packages/?q=mkvtoolnix
Always make sure your system is up to date before installing new packages.

but it is really strange that when i uncommented "http://ftp.archlinux.org..." in mirrorlist it is the same error
so what destination for all that mirrors are?
and when I download package from web-interface http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/openbox/ it successfuly downloaded from mirrors.kernel.org but pacman can't...
I'm completely dumb, or the universe had hell changed
As you see, my english is stupid.

[Solved] pacman won't update kernel

Hi, I create a base image that I clone to build from, it has nothing added but 'base-devel', earlier I installed an XFCE install, I went to create another from the same base image, when I install nvidia it told me in both cases that it needed a newer kernel 3.1.4, so I ran
pacman -Syu
. This morning this solves the problem, right now it states that it has nothing to update (it's made from the same image) and nvidia won't install stating it needs that upgrade. I shuffled mirrors around to see if it helped but it didn't. Anyone have an idea of why this is occurring?
thanks in advance for your help.

No, it doesn't do the upgrade, it insists there is nothing to upgrade, while the nvidia install says that there is.

Pacnanny: enforce good pacman discipline on yourself

This is yet another wrapper script for pacman. Unlike other wrappers, this script does not aim to make up for any perceived shortcomings in the functionality of pacman. Instead, it aims to make up for shortcomings in the users of pacman. The goal of pacnanny is to make it even harder to mess up a system update with pacman by making sure that you do not miss anything important.
At present, pacnanny does the following:
Before doing a system update, check for new Arch Linux news items since the last update and display them one at a time in the browser of your choosing (w3m by default). There is no confirmation to skip this. Your eyeballs are required to look at the news.
Reprint all scriptlet messages
Reprint all warnings again together after the update is completed.
List new .pacnew and .pacsave files.
Print a warning and ask for confirmation when using the --force option.
Prompt for a reboot when the kernel has been upgraded.
Each one of these features can be enabled or disabled in /etc/pacnanny.conf, so the level of nanny strictness is customizable.
Pacnanny also does some other handy things on its own:
Show the history of a package (dates of installation, upgrades, etc.)
Show the Pacman logs for a given date or range of dates
'pacnanny' is a thin wrapper that mostly looks at the arguments you pass before passing them on and at the output that pacman produces. You can simply use the 'pacnanny' command in place of 'pacman' and use all the familiar arguments. So, to do a system update, you would do 'pacnanny -Syu'.
Here is some sample output (slightly edited to remove the flood of dconf deprecation warnings that occured during that update). The most important information is found at the bottom, where it is most likely to be noticed by the user after the process finishes.
$ pacnanny -Syu

netctl is now in [core]
2013-04-10 - Florian Pritz
Meet netctl: a profile based networking CLI using systemd. In the near future,
the old netcfg will be removed from [core]. Anyone using it is urged to move to
netctl. Migration is a manual process during which you might not have access to
the Internet, so take care and read the man pages (netctl(1), netctl.profile(5)
and netctl.special(7)).
The design of netctl is so that systemd enthusiasts will appreciate its usage
and netcfg users will be familiar with its profile files. Shipped with netctl
comes a ncurses-based wifi connection assistant called wifi-menu.
As you install netctl, netcfg will be removed, but the enabled systemd services
will remain until manually disabled. The netctl wiki holds some additional
information on migrating from netcfg.
[normal pacman output would be here]

Please add the following line to your .emacs.
(require 'jabber)
Check for dead symlinks and leftover files
in /etc/fonts/conf.d/
If you have been using freetype2-infinality from the AUR,
the runtime file that came with it has been saved as
/etc/profile.d/infinality-settings.sh.pacsave and the new
one was installed in its place. You can manually delete
infinality-settings.sh.pacsave as it is not needed anymore.
If you are using [multilib], please install/upgrade
lib32-freetype2-infinality-ultimate, too.
Fontconfig-ultimate configuration is done via
/etc/fonts/conf.avail, /etc/fonts/conf.avail.infinality and
conf.d. Read /etc/fonts/conf.d/README for more information.
Configuration via /etc/fonts/local.conf is still possible,
but is no longer recommended for options available in conf.avail.
Main systemwide configuration should be done by symlinks, e.g.
# cd /etc/fonts/conf.d
# ln -s ../conf.avail/XX-foo.conf
In most cases default settings should suffice.
Custom user based configuration should be done in the same way,
using XDG directory structure, e.g.
$ cd /root/.config/fontconfig/conf.d
$ ln -s ../conf.avail/XX-foo.conf
A few examples can be found in
/usr/share/doc/fontconfig/infinality-ultimate/fontconfig.

OK, I've just pushed version 1.2:
add the --history option to show the installation history of a package or packages
add the --log option to show the Pacman logs from a given date or range of dates
use curl instead of wget
improve the method of specifying the browser to use (i.e. now you can do stuff like "lynx -dump %s | less"
change default news display to just dumping to standard out (via w3m)
Regarding the first one, here's some sample output:

As for the new "--log" option, you can pass any kind of date that is recognizable by the 'date' command. This means you can do things like:
$ pacnanny --log 2013-06-04
$ pacnanny --log yesterday
$ pacnanny --log 2013-06-01:2013-06-04
$ pacnanny --log "last month:yesterday"
Enjoy!
