Pacman -S kde - xorg conflicts with xfree86

i just installed arch on the computer of my brother ... and run into a funny situation i never experienced before ... maybe it0s a repeat and you already know about it
1) install arch-0.7-base
2) boot
3) -Suy
4) pacman -S kde
==> error: xorg conflicts with xfree86
without background information, a newbie would be confused by this error.
workaround:
1) pacman -S xorg
2) pacman -S kde

Yea, i've been confused about this some month ago .
Anyway, just can guess that it's caused since both, xorg and xfree are providing x-server, and there is no "standard" which arch uses for x-server? Does pacman still need a feature like this?

Fontconfig conflicts with xfree86

Since this sync is taking a long time, I decided I'd better ask a question rather than experiment and risk having downloaded all for nothing. When I ran sync update, it asked me questions about replacing some stuff with core utils (yeah go ahead) and module-init-tools, no problem.
But then pacman tells me that font-config conflicts with xfree86. Remove xfree86? I'd kind of like xfree86; this is a desktop machine. I answered yes, just to get the update going, hoping that I might resolve stuff later. Now I'd like to know what I should do to ensure that I can still boot into X after the upgrade is done.
I ran pacman -Sy pacman first, then pacman -Syu. Now I'm working on just pacman -Su so that I don't have to download the new KDE stuff all over again. I'll be using flux when I get around to it, so I don't need the latest kde (I'll IgnorePkg it). However, I think I do need xfree86 if I want to run either fluxbox or kde... and I don't care about fontconfig, do I? How do I get around the conflict? --force?
Thanks,
Dusty

Sorry about that. I thought I'd read about the problem somewhere, but couldn't find it again. give me an F for not looking hard enough.
Guess I'll have to figure out how to connect from !kppp before I can handle this one.

Kde compositing conflicts with wine popup menu

The following happens on two different systems with different nvidia proprietary driver versions.
No matter if compositing is done with xrender or opengl, popup/dropdown menu appears strangely (broken, mangled)
http://youtu.be/yveuW1lRIls
Is this a known problem/does anyone have a workaround? Google didnt help.
thanks!

Tracker conflicts with libtracker

Hi!
A few days ago I did a system update and pacman says that tracker conflicts with libtracker and so dependencies could not be solved. I can't remove libtracker, it depends on nautilus, so I removed tracker and a "pacman -Syu" works again. But I can not reinstall tracker because of the conflict with libtracker.
So is this a bug? I don't know what exactly to do now because I am kind of new to the Arch Community.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
thx in advance

I have exactly the same problem here.
Edit: Just found this, and the mentioned solution
pacman -Rd libtracker
pacman -S tracker
worked for me.
didn't work for me either however
sudo pacman -Rd tracker
sudo pacman -Syu
worked fine
the version of tracker for me was tracker-0.6.91-4 (not sure which version I upgraded from)
I'm on x86_64 FWIW; I don't think your WM/DE is going to make a difference
Edit: actually the conflict between tracker and libtracker still exists if I
sudo pacman -S tracker
just doesn't come up if I
sudo pacman -Syu
so I guess the question may still be there

Libflashsupport conflicts with oss. Strange thing with oss.

I tried installing libflashsupport to play sound simultaneously from website and music player, but pacman says that libflashsupport conflicts with oss. Is this some sort of bug in package? And how can I make it work?
The other problem is that oss works just like alsa, what I mean is I can't listen to music and play film because sound comes from program which was run first. I installed oss just like wiki says, and choose in music/film player oss as my audio output. Also in gstreamer-properties I have set audio with oss. Anyone have similar problem, or knows how to solve it?

libflashsupport.so is now shipped with oss. I sort of had the same trouble. I found out that libflashsupport.so by default uses /dev/dsp, whereas I have a multichannel sound card which uses /dev/dsp0, /dev/dsp1 etc. A soft link from /dev/dsp to /dev/dsp2 solved my problem.
I don't know if you can have sound from multiple sources if you don't have a multichannel sound card. Check oosxmix, and check where /dev/dsp is pointing.

Try:
pacman -Rd gtmod
pacman -S qt
#Qtmod not needed anymore
pacman -R guidance-power-manager /or pacman -Rcsn ....
pacman -Syu kdemod /or pacman -Syu kdemod-complete
also backup/ remove ~/.kde4 to start with clean config, especially if you have your own plasmoids.
#powerdevil is included in kde now, so other inferior powermanagers might conflict with it.

Cannot instal xorg files - Conflict with another program.

I have a new install and set up my wireless, got pacman working good but there are a couple things that are not working. 1-cannot install powerpill, it just does not find it when i try to download it. 2 when I try to download xorg files it says there is a conflict with another program (not near my comp right now so i dont have the name of the program, i will post it later). I am more worried about getting xorg set up than powerpill. does anyone have any ideas? i am set up for fastest mirror and ran the pacman -Syu to update everything yesterday...

I am trying to install everything under xorg that comes up when you type pacman -S xorg. the error itself says that it conflicts with another program when i try to download it. it says do i want to remove program "x" but does both options still will not download. I will get the full info tonight.

i need to use quartus on windows , do i need to use vbox to run M$ XP, i only got quartus on .exe

from http://www.archlinux.org/news/414/
The ipw3945 driver doesn't compile anymore. It's probably easy to patch, but we'll stop maintaining it anyway. Please use iwl3945 or compile the driver yourself (the latest PKGBUILD and patches can be found at http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/ipw3945/trunk/)
you can download packages before updating using pacman -Swd packages_that_you_need
where -d skip dependency, -w download only

Cannot install xorg Get error about a conflict with e2fsprogs?

IIRC, I got this error message:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
And this message, too:
cryptsetup: requires e2fsprogs
I'm stuck.
Looks like I'm gonna reformat again!

not really, just do pacman -Syu
Fixed it, for some reason, pacman didn't do a full update. Was wondering why I didn't see much being updated.
Syu did the trick.

[ArchPPC] xf86-video-r128 conflicts with xorg-server?!

Hi
Started a fresh build of ArchPPC on an iMac G3 yesterday and have run into an issue. It seems that the new xf86-video-r128 is conflicting with xorg-server-1.5.1. I've taken a quick look at the PKGBUILD in CVS and found this:
From extra/x11-drivers/xf86-video-r128/PKGBUILD
makedepends=('pkgconfig' 'xorg-server>=1.5.0' 'imake' 'mesa>=7.2' 'xorg-headers' 'diffutils')
conflicts=('xorg-server<=1.5.1')
Shurely shome mishtake?
I've tried rebuilding the package without the conflicts line. It compiles but causes X to segfault. I'm currently at work so I can't give you the exact error message I get at the moment.
Any thoughts, anyone?

New xorg-server changed some things. My guess is the driver you're trying isn't compatible Of course!
But, there should be a new, compatible option for you.
Maybe this can help? http://www.x.org/wiki/Releases/7.4
Maybe there's a newer version of your driver in testing?

**SOLVED** pacman Syu - ruby conflicts with rubygems..

:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to datesd

:: Starting full system upgrade...

:: ruby conflicts with rubygems. Remove rubygems? [Y/n]
How can I resolve this? Ideally, I don't really want to update ruby.. I there a way I can skip updating ruby?
If not, do I need to wait until the rubygems package it updated?
Can I skip this somehow and update the rest of the system?

Thanks Allan, does that mean if I were so inclined, it would be safe to remove rubygems, then update ruby?
The reason I don't think I should update ruby is because I have a lot of rails apps on this server, and there is bound to be more than a couple which can't cope with the update to ruby 1.9 (it's a pretty major upgrade).
I'll check out the pacman.conf thanks!

[SOLVED]"fontconfig conflicts with fontconfig-ubuntu" and other issues

Almost every program I have has stopped working. If I run a program from a terminal (one of the virtual terminals, gnome-terminal wont work either), they either complain about not being able to find libpng or libjpeg. I read the news posting about these and some forum posts, but none of them mentioned people having problems. What I understood from reading is that I just need to update my system.
This is where the problem lies. I cannot run "pacman -Syu" as usual. When I do, I get the following error:
fontconfig conflicts with fontconfig-ubuntu. Remove fontconfig-ubuntu?
If I answer yes, I get:
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: kdelibs: requires phonon
:: cairo-ubuntu: requires fontconfig-ubuntu>=2.6.0
:: libxft-ubuntu: requires fontconfig-ubuntu
If I answer no, I get:
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: fontconfig: conflicts with fontconfig-ubuntu
Either way, nothing is upgraded. How can I resolve this, as well as the libpng/libjpeg issue? I cleaned my cache and tried re-installing them, but it didn't help.

Or you can check AUR, get the latest pkgbuilds and rebuild your -ubuntu (or -lcd) packages. After installing them, the update should go flawlessly.
Also, if you have KDE installed you should check the news frontpage to see the KDE 4.4 announcement
Alright I installed fontconfig-ubuntu from the AUR and that resolved my initial conflict. It started complaining about gtk-qt-engine and kdelibs and they weren't depended on by anything so I just removed them (I assume I can re-install them later) and now my system upgrade is underway. Hopefully things will be fixed when it finishes.
Does anyone know what caused this and whether I can avoid similar issues in the future?
It happens because you are using a modified version of fontconfig (the ubuntu one). When a new version of fontconfig reaches [extra], pacman tries to update fontconfig (because fontconfig-ubuntu provides fontconfig, and fontconfig from [extra] is newer than the version you have installed) and finds that it conflicts with fontconfig-ubuntu.
The way to go is the one that you have followed: when there is an update in fontconfig, update your fontconfig-ubuntu package to the latest in AUR (hopefully the same version as the new one in [extra], else you'll have to wait or modify the PKGBUILD) and then update the rest of the system.

I'm trying to install KDEMod, after a clean installation of Arch.

:: qt3-enhanced: conflicts with qt3
But i searched my system, there is no qt3 or kde related stuff installed:
# pacman -Q | grep qt
# pacman -Q | grep kde
both return nothing.
How do I solve this?
Thank you
PS: I previously install opera-static. But nothing changes after i removed it.

Unresolvable conflict on update (qt conflicts with qt-copy)

Hi!
I use Archlinux with kde-svn. And after some time without updating the whole system, I have got this problem since a few days:
pacman -Syu
:: Starting full system upgrade...

looking for inter-conflicts...
:: qt conflicts with qt-copy. Remove qt-copy? [Y/n] Y
:: qt conflicts with kdesupport. Remove kdesupport? [Y/n] Y

:: kdelibs: requires kdesupport
:: kdemod-playground-filelight: requires qimageblitz
:: kdenetwork: requires decibel
:: koffice: requires kdesupport
:: tunepimp: requires taglib
Of course I want to keep kdesupport and qt-copy, but when I say 'n', the update is aborted.
What could I try to do?
Thanks in advance.

That error says you can't update package foo, because it needs a specific version of package bar and you are about to update bar.
ghc got updated from version 7.4.2-1 in [extra] to 7.6.1-1 in [testing] and [haskell] still has version 7.4.2-1 at the moment.
Haskell packages in the official repos have just been updated, so wait a bit until your server gets them or switch to a more up-to-date one.
As you can see, the packages from [testing] depend on 7.6.1-1 http://www.archlinux.org/packages/testi … skell-mtl/

Error: mozilla-firefox conflicts with nss-nspr

I get this message when I try:
#>pacman -S gnome
i get:

i tried upgraded all installed packages, and still got this error. I'm still not used to pacman, so I could have missed a step or something. The only other packages I had installed besides the base system at this point was hwd and xorg.
I removed hwd and still got the same message.

I've got the same problem with one exception - I've got no "nss-nspr" installed on my system :shock:
