"psearch" failed to search in AUR?

hi,
I have used "psearch" for a while without any problem,
until recently.
It failed to search in AUR, with following messages:

The Internet connection is alright, and so is the AUR site.
I wonder if this is relevant to the changing of the AUR site recently,
but find no other similar problems posted.
Does anyone know what cat I do?
BR,
bsdson.tw
ps. psearch version 1.1-6

I have a json http fetch interface in my aur backend development repo.
If that gets merged mainline, it could provide a nice alternative api for userspace tools to utilize, so they won't have to scrape pages.
There are alot of json libraries for various languages out there.
I even threw together a few test clients. See the mailing list archive for more info.

Search function sometimes fails to search phone

Search sometimes fails to" search my iPhone 4s. Has anyone encountered this bug and is there a fix available?

I noticed on my iPhone 4 / iOS5, "search failing" today. It might search once, but would then freeze. Even entering the search word the keys would freeze 10-15 seconds per letter. I tried restarting (off and on), rebooting (using Home and Lock buttons), moved the Searched Apps order around, turned off different Searched Apps. Sometimes I might get one search and other times just a black search screen. I accidently pressed and held the Home key until "Voice Command" came on and after that the Spot Light search started working. Go figure! I still believe there might be a problem as the search is real inconsistant searching my Calendar. Sometimes it will not search beyond 5-6 months in the past. I think there is bug in Spotlight Search.

[SOLVED] Yaourt search on AUR stopped working

hi all :>
yaourt's search engine was working quite nice until i booted up my computer this morning -.-
does anyone have an idea to solve this problem!? downloading + building from aur works great with yaourt just the search thingy is kinda broken -.-
can it be possible that it has to do something with my changes in sysctl.conf? i added several rules:
# Disable packet forwarding
net.ipv4.ip_forward=0
# Disable the magic-sysrq key
kernel.sysrq = 0
# Enable TCP SYN Cookie Protection
net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies = 1
# Source Address verification
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 1
# Block Ping
net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_all = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 0
net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_source_route=0
net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts=1
net.ipv4.icmp_ignore_bogus_error_responses=1
best regards :>

I've come up with a workaround. It's quick and probably dirty, but it enables me to search the packages and view the descriptions.

Spotlight fails to search at HFS drive in optibay

Hello
Recently i noticed that Spotlight behaviour is very strange - it fails to find some files in the folder, while other files from the same folder are found easily. Examples are shown on the pics.
in first case it fails finding ''Empire of the sun'' folder, while folder ''Metronomy'' is found. In second case it finds folder ''Aquarius heaven ***" while fails to find its parent folder - ''ELECTRONIC''
Indexing is on, i also reindexed that drive, but it doesn't help.
need help very much, as all my music is on that drive and i can't find anything(

I had to re-index after Spotlight completed it's upgrade indexing.
sudo mdutil -E /
or drag your HDD into Spotlight privacy pane and then remove. Indexing will start up and a new data store will be created.
This solved my partial search issues. Unless, of course, you just need to be patient.

Fails to find files that exist, fails to search everywhere

Running OSX 10.4.3 on a Powerbook G4 1.5gHz and on a PowerMac G4/867.
I hope it is because I am doing something wrong, but so far I am very unimpressed with Spotlight, for the following reasons:
•It fails to find files that are known to exist. For example, I have an application named MacTracker. It is in my Applications folder. When I enter
tracker
in the search field,
(with location set as wide as "computer" or as narrow as "Applications", with or without a "name contains" restriction) Spotlight will not show MacTracker as existing, even though I can see it with my own eyes, in the Applications folder window in the background. Only if I search on
Mactracker
will Spotlight see the application. This seems ridiculous to me. Any search, especially a "name contains" search, ought to show MacTracker if I search on track, tracker, actra, mactrac, etc. But, no. I have to enter "MacTracker" if I want it found.
•I make use of OSX Mail only occasionally. For most of my e-mail, I use a Unix mail handler known as PINE. PINE stores incoming and outgoing mail as plain text files in /users/me/mail . However, Spotlight refuses to include that location in its searches. I have tried using the Spotlight preferences to add
/mail to the list of specific places to search; no luck, Spotlight appears completely blind to anything outside of the locations Apple arbitrarily decided I needed to be able to search in.
Can anyone offer any ideas on how to make Spotlight work for me, instead of against me?
Thanks in advance.
Mac OS X (10.4.3)

same problem here. the only answer i can find is....spotlight buh-lows. does anyone know if we can just revert to ye olden way of searching? simple things like: searching actually find the stuff you're searching for. and: list of items found arrangeable by date/alphabetically (just like any normal window in osx). also, is hitting apple-f essentially just bringing up spotlight in its own window, or does this search function differ at all? sorry to hijack the thread, but we suffer from the same problems. thank you!

Official packages "required by" search for AUR packages

I often want to see which aur packages depend on a given official package.
e.g. recently to see that qt5-webengine is being used by something (qupzilla-git),
but most often to see if I might later regret updating to a git version
because there are interesting packages that depend on released versions.
My current understanding is that to do this I would have to clone http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git/
and then grep -r pkgname.
Does anyone have a better way?

AUR is pretty big.
http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git/ … ter.tar.xz is 120 MB but it decompresses into 1.2 GB on disk. I'd recommend using an efficient searching method unless you want to wait ... and wait ... and wait. And then you run out of memory ;P
AUR 4.0 is git-based, so maybe they'll include something like this. Ask on the ML, if you want.
AUR packages that depend on qt5-webengine:
j8-git
qupzilla-git
mist
The snapshot has 70k package directories, 15k more than the current AUR, so you get some false positives when grepping (i.e. packages that aren't available anymore).

Searching for AUR packages with "%" queries

According to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR#Searching it is possible to use mysql LIKE queries to search for a package. But I can't find packages if I use queries with "%".
For example, when I try to search for firefox%spell or firefox%spell%, I get nothing.
I expected those queries would return the same results as firefox-spell.
The question is: do LIKE queries work (or do I use them wrong)?

Combined search for AUR and repos

I would like to set up a meta search engine that searches the repos as well as AUR for a particular package or PKGBUILD.
Does something like that exist already?
Are there APIs to those two search engines?

yaourt does this already, I believe some other tools also do. I don't know what APIs they use; when I wrote aurbuild v0.0001 it used web scraping to get info from the AUR; I don't know what utility is used now.

Yaourt fails to install *any* AUR package

Hello, I'm new to Arch, but since my problem is pretty much specific to yaourt/AUR I thought this would be the better place to ask around.
I tried to install a whole bunch of packages from the AUR repository, but almost all that I tried failed to install, mainly dependency errors far into or after the compiling process, one example - the game Go-Ollie wouldn't install because the Image Magick library wasn't found. However, Image Magick is installed, but there's no trace of it's library not in the AUR, nor the community repository. Same with A7XPG - failed to install because something was missing that I can't find anywhere. I am starting to get VERY frustrated. It looks like there are a ton of broken packages floating around in the AUR and there are a ton of programs missing that I'm used to having on the other distors (Ubuntu, Fedora, etc..) What am I missing here? Am I doing something wrong or is AUR/Yaourt really as messed up as it seems? A little help?
PS: Please be easy on me, I'm still a grass green noob after all

bloodyhell wrote:Got an off-topic question though - It came to my attention that the Arch install distro had a relatively easy albeit non-graphical installer. Why did the developers ditch this? I think I'll never understand the appeal of things being more complicated and/or inconvenient than they have to be.
The AIF was not ditched for any but the most simple reason: It was buggy as hell and the maintainer did not have the time to keep it going. It tried to do everything, to cover every scenario, but was ultimately a victim to its own complexity. The new installer is not more complicated, it is actually more simple. All you have to do is follow the readme step by step and make your own decisions in the process. I find pacstrap and arch-chroot to be more universal than the old AIF. Before the switch, creating an install script was a painful process of understanding the AIF and learning its syntax. Now we have these straight forward tools, so building your own install script is very easy. It also gives you a more in-depth knowledge of what's going on on your system.
The new installer also seems to be more friendly towards wifi users. Then you will never ever again have to deal with the situation, that the AIF somehow kicks you out of the process and then complains about an ongoing installation, without telling you where the lockfile is or how to fix this manually. In a menu, I always press down and enter to get to the next item. The AIF did half of this, it moved the cursor down to the next item automatically. In more than one occasion, I killed the installer with this and sometimes even had to redo the entire process (incl. downloading the packages), because bringing the installer back to a specific state was a painful act. I find the current solution more user friendly.
If you feel like Arch could need a menu driven installer, you are invited to create one, but all attempts to do this so far either drowned as quick as they had emerged or were rejected by the other users, because they were either too specific, too buggy or generally failed to add anything to the process, that the current install scripts have to offer.

Connection failed - automatically search for broken alias?

I recently replaced an old network drive. Now - whenever I launch iPhoto I get an error:
Connection failed The server “NASX6 (AFP)” may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.
I think I have an alias somewhere in my library that points to the old network drive but I don't know where. I also have over 40,000 photos in hundreds of folders so searching manually doesn't seem to be an option.
Is there a way to run a search for aliases that are broken - or even just aliases in general?
Thanks,
Matt

No - that is one (of many) why referenced libraries are strongly discouraged
someone posted a method that they claim will reconnect the aliases - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2744741&tstart=0
I have no idea what it does or how it works (or if it does for that matter) - as always backup prior to making changes

Address Book fails to search

OK, I have reviewed other threads on Address Book problems and the solutions there have not helped. Here is the situation, and I can reproduce the results.
I am running OS X 10.7.2 on a MacBook and all was well. My address book has 935 contacts in it and yesterday it worked fine when I needed it. It is synced with iCloud. There have been no known changes in the environment in any recent weeks or days. Yesterday I installed FileMaker Pro - this has been the only change on this Mac in the past week or more.
Now when I try to use the search bar in the address book, the search returns nothing and the list view "freezes" on to one contact. The contact is highlighted but I am unable to select any other contact. I can use the up and down arrow to scroll the list, but only the one contact appears on the right pane.
If I delete the temp file in the Library files, then restart, some functionality might be restores - that is, i can scroll through the list, see different cards, etc. However, as soon as I use the search function, the "freeze" returns. Help!

The solutions above did NOT work for me, but I have a solution that did. The search field did not respond to typed letters that should narrow the contact list (i.e., typing "west" should narrow the entries to ones having "west" in them). Disabling iCloud syncing actually caused System Prefs to hang. Archiving, deleting all contacts, quitting AB, and then deleting the AddressBook-v22.abcddb files, did NOT solve the problem Interestingly, after doing the foregoing steps, I relaunched AB and typed a test contact, and confirmed that the search function worked. But after reimporting the archive, the same old issue recurred.
These steps fixed it: In my case this was not an iCloud problem, and I did not disable synching. Instead of archiving the AB, (1) I exported all the contacts (3,600) as a vCard, (2) deleted all the contacts, (3) quit AB, (4) deleted all three AddressBook-v22.abcddb files (there are several under subfolders in the Application Support>Address Book files), (5) logged out and back in again, and (6) imported the vCard with all my entries.
I think the importing of the vCards (as opposed to bringing back in the Archive, triggered re-indexing of the database. It is possible, however, that the additional step of loggin out and back in made a difference, as the AB database is contained in the user's home folder, and quitting and logging back on can clean up files in the user's folder. Because I did not disable iCloud syching, deleting all the contacts did delete them from the cloud and my devices. But they returned with proper synching after I imported the vCard back in.
Although the individual vCards do seem to have the info on which groups they belong to, this process did depopulate all my groups. So, if you have groups, and you want to keep them, you might try all the above steps but with an archive, rather than a vCard.

Mail fails to search ...

Mail searches and finds ONLY "From" field
all the rest returns "zero" results , even when I'm sitting here looking at the post in the recent mail.
Once before someone cured this problem by telling me to DELETE and REPLACE a certain plist file in the Library. ... it worked like a charm.
however I can no longer find that post, and I have no idea what the file was or where it was.
Suggestions?
Very annoying problem, and it happened several other times and I just did the same fix.

Xerox workcentre 7225 print driver fails while searching for networked printer

HelloJoe,Thanks - So I took those steps and the printer is created as a local printer using a TCP/IP port with the proper IP address for that printer. It appears I can get to its property pages. But when I try to print, the job goes to the queue and it just hangs eventually timing out and it shows error for printing that document... I can ping the IP adddress from the PC and it returns pings. ?

This unit is working fine from several other PCs, WIN 7 and WIN XP, in the building. Installing on a WIN7 64 bit PC. During the installation it starts to look for the networked printer and stops, posting the message - [ Xerox windows common installer has stopped ] , then installer just hangs. I have uninstalled and tried the following versions with the same error - Date: 2 Jun, 2014Version: 5.351.8.0.0Size: 17.7 MBFormat: EXEand tried Global Print driver Date: 15 Dec, 2014Version: 5.404.8.0Format: WWW NOTE - I even tried a manual driver installation which appears to work but the printer fails to print - returning a print error and cancels the job. Help,Jim
