Is this how pacman is supposed to work? (dependency "problem")[SOLVED]

Hi
Just did a fresh install of archlinux after buying a new computer.
Installed some drivers.. kde (and some other stuff)
Then.. just for the fun of it I removed qt3 with pacman -Rd.
I was expecting that pacman -Syu would see that a dependency was missing and try to reinstall qt3.
So I did a pacman -Syu, and what happened? Nothing.. pacman says all is okay, well all is not okay cus kde will not work without qt3.
Is this how it should work or is this a bug? I checked the manpages for some kind of "install all missing dependencies" but found nothing..
/Ivan

Remember -- this is a "do it yourself" kind of distribution and so if what I want to do is to screw up my system I should be able to do it in an easy, efficient and elegant way. This is consistent with the mission statement of the Arch Linux project, this is how Arch works and this is why many of us love it.
On a personal note, if Arch/pacman tried to hold my hand more, like you suggest it should, I'd be switching to another distro very, very quickly.
It's not really about trying to get arch/pacman to hold your hand for you. It's more about giving the possibility to recover from a serious mistake. If you can tell me something wrong with adding an option wich checks for missing dependencies on your system and how that particular feature intervenes with "the arch way" - then please do.
I'm not saying arch is bad, arch is actually the best linux distro I've used so far - but there is something common with almost all distros - you get dependency problems after a while, one way or another.
Thats why I think there should be a way to resolve such issues.

[solved] Pacman -Suy killed libdbus?

Hmm, did a pacman -Suy a few hours ago, oddly enough my dbus died, can't even find libdbus on my filesystem anymore. When I was upgrading I had a similar problem to this thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57902 not sure on if the errors were the same, but it was similar. So I did a pacman -Suyf(as I have done many times before) to find out that it killed my libdbus. My theory is maybe the mirrors I am choosing arn't in sync with eachother. Guess I'll wait for a day or so and hope another pacman -Suy fixes it.

Try installing dbus-core and dbus again.
By the way, if you ever need to us -f, then you should just did it for the package that needs it. Even then, you should avoid using -f at all...

X only startable as root afer pacman -Suy

Hello everybody,
since i've done a system upgrade with pacman -Suy some hours ago i am no more able to start x neither with startx nor gdm as a non root user.
root can do startx and will see the GUI as expected. I think it's a permissions problem, but i really don't know with what. On a topic a few lines under mine there was the problem of the X binary with wrong permissions. That's not my problem, the X binaries (or the Xorg binaries and the X links) permissions are correct.
What makes the whole thing really tricky is that the Xorg logfiles do not say anything about what is not going right. In my desperation i also tried strace to see what goes wrong with no luck.
I am using the 64 bit version.
I would be glad if anybody is able to help me out of the situation i am now forced to: using windows.

Maybe uninstalling and reinstalling helps:
Uninstall:
pacman -Rs xorg
and
pacman -Sy xorg
to reinstall

Pacman tries to satisfy dependency of an ignored package, and fails...

For some reason I cannot install any packages anymore. No matter if I try a system update or try to install any package, the last two lines always appear. I think that's especially weird because as you can see, I'm ignoring awesome.
I don't really know how this happened; the only thing I really did before was trying out bauerbill, but I think that might be more of a coincidence.
Any ideas?

Essentially libev is trying to be updated to 3.9-1 on your system. But the old awesome you are using requires libev-3.80. This is stupid numbering upstream so is causing the issue. If you really want to keep awesome at that old version, do a "pacman -Sd libev" followed by your "pacman -Syu". Remember, -Sd is dangerous, so do not use it unless you are sure you need it...

Give me your problems

I would like example problems to learn java better. Please give me your problems and I will solve them- whatever made up thing you can think of, especially if it involves me learning more about the language, constructs, and usage.

Sounds like what you want is a reference type that can
be cleared if and only if there are no other
references to its referent. If I understand the
current reference types correctly there's no such
thing. I can't think of anything other than
maintaining a strong reference or adding something to
the map as kaj suggested.adding the value to the map wouldn't work because, as hinted
at by responses to jverd, it is a different map each time ...
i was thinking of uses hashcodes of the passed maps and when
they are found to be equal i could perform some further comparison
somehow; but i suppose the practical side of things is that i want
all these maps to be uniquely identifiable by their contents, and the
only way to do that is to save all the data i care about being equal :(

How to give Device-dependent command in Labview

I am using a Keithley Programmable Current Source (Model 224). When I try to read It gives a string(containing current, V-limit, dwell time).
NDCI +n.nnnnE+n, V+n.nn00E+n, W+n.nnnnE+n
According to the manual a device-dependent command like D0X will display Source, D1X will display Voltage limit and D2X will dispaly Dwell Time. I would like know how give these device-dependent commands.
Why cann't i get the proper result using the attached vi.
Attachments:
GPIB.vi ‏22 KB

I am including the SUB VI's here. The basic problem is to get the display of Source current reading only, with D0X command instade of all three parameters (Source current , V-limit, dwell time).
Mode 0 or Mode 2 is not giving any desired result.
Yes, in the sub Vi's GPIB address is constant. I have the driver for 2182 but it is not a problem, at least now.

Pacman -Su - X fonts / fluxbox problem

Dang, I'm sorry to pile in with a ton of problems, but this one has really knocked me out.
I just did pacman -Sy and then pacman -Su and I seem to have completely hosed the X font server. I seem to remember reading something somewhere about this recently, but now i can't find it.
The upgrade didn't go smoothly and I've probably screwed something up.
First it crashed in the download complaining of xemacs-sumo from unofficial. I removed this package and then it completed the download and moved to dependency check.
Then the dependency check kept complaining about a ton of stuff in:
/usr/share/cups/model/... and
/usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/ something.mo
as well as the same file in a few other languages ja, and two or three others.
Here I probably did a bad thing,I deleted these directories and files.
This let the upgrade proceed to completion but it wasn't good afterward.
At first I tried to fire up mozilla and I just get Exit 1. Then I exited X and rebooted but afterward, when I startx, fluxbox has these microscopic menus and slot. I exit X and find messages complaining about missing fonts.
Any advice (other than Hit the Road 8-) is very much appreciated.
Thank You...
John E. A.

if you really want to have the 1.4a version of mozilla then:
as root run :
abs
then:
cd /usr/abs/network/mozilla
<youreditor> PKGBUILD
change the pkver line to 1.4a then edit the source=() to the prper url to the 1.4a source.
then issue:
makepkg
sit back and wait while it compiles. when it is done
pacman -U mozilla-1.4a-1.pkg.tar.gz
you do not need to install the lib or include packages that are also built.
the whole process will take about an hour if you are using about a 1.53 GHz chip.

Hi everyone,
I wanted to update a few packages but ran into dependency cycle problem.I did pacman -Syu and then tried to update but all in vain.I searched the forum and found some solutions but I am still unable to solve the problem.This is the error message that I get:

This is really handled in quite alot of threads on the forums already. Simply running:
# pacman -S pacman
should fix it for you.

[SOLVED]Installing steam in optimus and lib32-libgl dependency problem

Hello everyone!
I have a problem concerning the installation of steam under arch_64 on a laptop with Optimus. I have succesfully installed Bumblebee with Nvidia 319.17-2, everything works fine. I have also installed lib32-nvidia-utils which is version 319.17-1. Now I try to install steam:
[root@VOSTRO onur]# pacman -S steam
resolving dependencies...
:: There are 3 providers available for lib32-libgl:
:: Repository multilib
1) lib32-mesa-libgl 2) lib32-nvidia-304xx-utils 3) lib32-nvidia-libgl
Enter a number (default=1):
The problem arises at this point:
1) I am using nvidia, so I can't use mesa.
2) I have installed driver 319.17 with the corresponding util package, so not this one.
3) I guess this is the answer. But since I am using bumblebee, I checked the wiki page (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bumblebee) and under section 2.1 there is a note:
Note: Do not install lib32-nvidia-libgl! Bumblebee will find the correct lib32 nvidia libs without it.
This leaves me confused. What am I supposed to do at this point? Is it a problem on Bumblebee's part? Or since lib-32-nvidia-304xx-utils is legacy now, shouldn't the dependency be updated to include the latest nvidia-utils package 319.17-1? Or am I missing something?
Any kind of insight will be deeply appreciated.
NOTE: Just before submitting this post, I learned that there was Optimus support in the beta release of this driver, but in the release notes of the released version contains nothing about Optimus
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-disp … river.html
so I guess installing Bumblebee was not a mistake?
Last edited by Pipix (2013-05-17 22:43:22)

I have pretty much the same problem.
I went for lib32-mesa-libgl and uninstalled lib32-nvidia-libgl. Problem was that Steam did not find libgl.so so i had to install lib32-intel-dri too.
Now steam works but i cannot use the nvidia GPU..... if i set launch options to "primusrun %command%" then dota2 does not launch.
optirun glxgears works.
primusrun glxgears works.
Even all CUDA examples work.
what could be the problem?

Latest version did not give me the option of saving my bookmarks on screen so I have now lost about 12 of them. I have reverted to a 3.16 on my mac as this does not give me this problem. It was also crashing many times each day. Dreadful.

The bookmarks are all lost and all related to blog postings that I was planning to do so now cannot relocate where they all came from. When closing down I always got the window which asked if I wanted to save and quit. I downloaded 4.1 last night, never got the window and all were lost this morning when signing on again. I used time machine to get back to your earlier version which still gives me the saving option. This is the only problem that I have ever had with Firefox and I have used it ever since it came out.

I've kept the old version od imovie (6.0.4) through three migrations and now have it on a mac 10.6.8. i prefer it to the new one, but it has recently begun to give me serious problems. is it becoming obsolete?

i've always thought imovie 6.0.4 was the superior product. i've used it edit semi-profesional films. its easy and intuitive, and always gives you what you want, while looking profesional. i have final cut pro, which i use when i have more time or the project is of more importance, but i still love the ease and simplicity of the old imovie. i've migrated it over 4 computers and it has worked fine till about a week ago. it now takes up to 20 minutes to load, frequently drops out. leaves phantom and relic snipets of audio. is there any way i can fix this problem and keep my beloved imovie 6.0.4? can download it from a third party? are the issues because the .app is going obsolete or are there just new bugs on my computer? i've recently uninstalled all my adobe products and put them onto another computer, could that be it? help me obi won, you're my only hope!

klaus 1,
thanx for the reply. i'm on a 10.6.8 snow leopard.
yes, it did arrive via migration, but had been working well for over 2 years, and two years before that on a 10.5, where it had migrated from a mac book g4 where i used it regularly. through all that time and migration, not a single problem
i can't pinpoint the exact 'original' problem, because i'm currently working on two different editing jobs (one serious [a kickstarted campaign] the other, not so much, for my son's pre-school graduation, i was making the school a little video for their website). so during this time, i'm using a combo of; imovie, adobe premiere and final cut pro. and i've had so much pulsing through my computer (and external hard drives), literally hundreds of gigs of HD video, tons of tiff and jpeg files, and much mp4 and aif music files. i often had three or four major applications all open and running simultaneously, so who knows how this all started. but one day, i flipped open my mac, and just clicked on imovie, not a file mind you, but just the icon, and it took like 2 minutes to load (usually 5-10 seconds). i made sure all other apps and windows were closed and tried it again - now 3 minutes to load and it drops out mid edit. and it just kept getting worse.
AND THEN, AFTER IWROTE ABOVE 'I - ME' MADE THINGS, MUCH, MUCH WORSE.
i was aware that there is an old quicktime 7 that gets installed in a 10.6.8 to supplement the newer quicktime x and the various other programs, including imovie, that still use qt 7. i was a bit confused why there even is an icon for qt 7 in the utilities folder, since you never open it directly, it just works behind the scenes. but whatever.
after imovie started acting up, i looked up to see what programs that imovie uses, thinking the problem might be there and found an article that said there was actually an even earlier version of quicktime, (qt 7.0.3 i think) that was specifically made for imovie, but there hadn't been enough major changes in qt to bother imovie, but (there is always a but) there were changes coming that would begin to affect imovie. since the article (i wish i could link it here, sorry) was a year old, i thought maybe the damaging upgrade was already made. so i found this older version of quicktime (the 7.0.3 version) and tried to install it, thinking it would fix my issue, i'd finish the edit, then delete it. but when i tried to open it, it told me, a newer version of of qt was on my computer and i couldn't install it. so very impulsively and idiotically i uninstalled quicktime 7, thinking i would just reinstall it later. but that's when everything went wrong.
SO I MUST STRESS THIS TO EVERYONE! NEVER NEVER NEVER UNINSTALL QUICKTIME.
apparently quick time x is preinstalled into the 10.6.8, in such a way, that its interconnected with like 12 other programs, that will all begin to act erradictly after it is uninstalled. then those 12 programs will each affect 5 more and soon, your computer, then your hard-drive is blown. i tried reinstalling quicktime, but could not. i tried every conceivable way, but could not even find it in any folder. it was gone. and so was qt x.
so when i uninstalled quicktime 7, it affected quick time x in such a way that it stopped working, then could not be found. then all h**l broke loose. every program began to run slowly and started dropping out. functionally, the computer became so slow, it was useless. even typing became slow. i still did not know about the 'never uninstall quick time rule' yet, so i looked for the problem else where.
i opened up activity monitor, and there were no programs eating up cpu, nothing that suspicious. but when i switched activity monitor to show usage in a descending order, i saw kernel task was using between 500-700% cpu. my fans started running furiously and my battery life dropped in half. i would switch off the computer, start it with reset, things would go well for a half hour, then kernel would spike, the computer would get red hot and the fans would go as fast as propellers. since the kickstarter campaign i was working on was on deadline, i had to keep working. so i went out and bought a laptop stand that allows airflow under the computer and has its own fan to cool the computer, that worked for about a day. but since the fan on the stand ran on power from the usb of my computer, my battery life went from very good, to completely dead. nothing. accidentally unplug the cord for a millisecond second, and the computer turns off. when i restart, the time is set to the day and time i bought the computer, and would undo my internet, and i'd have to reset my whole connection.
i spent twelve straight hours, through the night, using recovery programs, like pacifist, stellar phoenix, and others, but could not get quick time back. finally (like 4 hours ago) i called apple, and although i have no warranty or apple care, they took my call and we tried some things, which didn't work.
i had already run disk utility and exhausted all other options. and i was told by apple that since my computer was preloaded (no discs) i could not, erase and reboot, which wasn't really an option anyway.
so apple being the best run company in the country, sends me a new down loadable version of imovie, quick time 7 and quick time ten.
it hasn't arrived yet, but how cool is that?
i have to say though, i'm a bit worried about reinstalling by disc and have no real guarantee that everything will return to normal.
not to mention my battery is dead and snow leopard gives you no way of getting to it. it has to be replaced at an official apple certified store.
so lesson here, never, ever, never, uninstall quicktime. i hope no one else makes this mistake.
thanx and good luck.

Mod_perl installation problem

I'm trying to install mod_perl 1.29 on my Mac OS X 1.4.4 with the default Apache and the Perl that comes with the default system. When i type
perl MakeFile.pl
it suppose to search and give me the src apache folder so it will configure mod_perl with it. but it cannot locate and i cannot locate it anywhere I looked either.
any clues?

Hi Alex,
   The source for Apache isn't shipped with Mac OS X. The source code can be found here: apache-683.
