Root partition suddenly full while updating packages with Pacman

Hello
I'm not sure if this is a problem with Pacman, but my root partition seems to have become completely full while updating my system using pacman -Syu. Before updating anything, there seems to have been an update to a new version of Pacman (3.3.1-1) that needed to be installed before updating packages.
In the middle of the updates, I got this error:
error: error writing to file '/var/cache/pacman/pkg/openoffice-base-3.1.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz': No space left on device
Also, I don't know if this is related, but I got a lot of 'not found' errors after that.
The entire output from everything:
~ $ sudo pacman -Syu

Also, I haven't restarted my system yet. Should I try and see what happens?
Thanks!

This happened to me recently. I could not restart my laptop properly due to lack of space on my root partition.
The error during boot was along the lines of:-
Starting D-BUS system messagebus - Failed
Failed to start message bus: Failed to close "var/run/dbus.pid": No space left on drive
Hardware Abstraction Layer - Failed
everything else during the boot was as normal till I started to type in my username - but couldn't because the keyboard was inactive.
I used a Wolvix live CD to investigate and found a QT4 file in the packman cache which was 6.9GB in size (compared to the normal 27mb size). Once that was deleted and the drive/partition error checked everything was back to normal. So before you reboot I would definitely recommend clearing any oversize file out of your packman cache, or just clearing the whole cache.

Shouldnt be? Itunes will back up your phone before applying updates, so even if something 'goes wrong', you can restore it to how it was.

Downloading package with pacman, how many threads?

When I download packages with pacman it start at slow speed and then goes up, this produces some kind of delay between downloads, especially for lots of small packages. I know this can feel like not a big problem, but you know, comparing with yum centos it seems kinda slow, seems like pacman download packages 1 thread at a time while yum it is like multi threaded because every package is downloaded consequentially without speed loss. Is there somekind of tweak for this?

[SOLVED]root partition read only after update systemd

After update systemd today, the systemd-remount-fs.service fail to start. Root filesystem is read only I tried add rw to fstab mount option, but the root parition is still read only. I noticed that util-linux package are installed and udev package is dropped , Does it related to my problem?

Error while updating signatures with IDSMC 2.0.1

Hi,
since 2 weeks while updating my sensors from the Manager, nothing appers in the real time progress viewer although the upc activity is high, but nothing is done after 1 hours.
I got an Error in the Pending Signature Update Jobs:
"Unable to interpret the schedule string "once Jun 1, 2005 10:38:13 AM" - java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "Jun 1, 2005 10:38:13 AM"
After many restart of the Manager Daemon services the MC got finally updated.
But when Deploying configuration to the sensors I got an other error message:
"Error while pushing files ti the sensor java.lang.Exception"
Any help please?

It seems this problem has been seen in older version of the IDS 4.x code. First try to reimport the config and push the sigs, if that doesn't fix the proble, upgrade to the latest 4,x code and re-import. That should fix the problem. Good luck.

Searching package with pacman ?

Hi,
Question : How can I search the repository of pacman with some keyword : exemple : *fire*
The reason :
I'm trying to get started by installing fluxbox and firefox. While fluxbox can be installed with "pacman -Sy fluxbox", I cannot do the same for firefox. I tried finding the command to search the repositiory for any package with *fire* but failed.
Any good tips on how to find package without having to use a browser to download a file ?

o_O You really want to print out the pacman manual.. i think.
You can print it out like this:
/bin/gunzip -c '/usr/man/man8/pacman.8.gz'| /usr/bin/gtbl | /usr/bin/nroff -Tlatin1 -mandoc -c|lpr
Should work, I just tried it.
edit: I suppose you could do that with all manpages and if this http://www.patoche.org/LTT/printer/00000141.html works(although you would have to change all */local/* paths): man-page printing becomes even more practical!
Now, remember to read some of it too: not just print it out XD

Search for packages with pacman

Normally I searched for packages with packman -Ss ...
But is there a posiblity that it shows only that packages wich i havent installed?

pacman -Ss <packagename>
shows packages in the repositories you have specified in /etc/pacman.conf, whether they are installed or not
pacman -Q
will list the packages installed on your system

How to install multiple packages with pacman?

Hi ,
I guess it's a pretty noobish question but I wonder how to install multiple packages
that have the same prefix with Pacman.
To make myself more clear, I like to install all gstreamer packages and for that I would
like something similar to
pacman -S gstreamer10*
Is there a command that does something like this available? Found nothing in the man pages.
Maybe some tricky stuff with pipes?

thanks for your help, but I'm afraid, it does not work
I'm so sorry, my fault, I couln't test it, and made some big mistakes.
This time it's working:
pacman -S $(pacman -Ss gstreamer0.10 | sed -n 's#^$[^/]*/gstreamer0.10[^ ]*$ .*$#\1#p')

Did you try with: pacman -Ss. (space between pacman and -Ss argument)

Searching packages with Pacman

Im having trouble finding packages using pacman. I want to search all the repo's for the package I want, but If I don't get the package name exactly right, i get the message
error: 'openoffice': not found in sync db
These are the two commands that I have tried to use to look for packages
pacman -S packagename
and
pacman -Q packagename
but I can't get anything. What is the proper way to search for packages?
thanks,bj

Here is what I use: I got it somewhere on these forums, but I like it. put this in your .bashrc:
## Create a colorized pacman
alias pac='pacsearch'
pacsearch () {
echo -e "$(pacman -Ss $@ | sed \
-e 's#core/.*#\\033[1;31m&\\033[0;37m#g' \
-e 's#extra/.*#\\033[0;32m&\\033[0;37m#g' \
-e 's#community/.*#\\033[1;35m&\\033[0;37m#g' \
-e 's#^.*/.* [0-9].*#\\033[0;36m&\\033[0;37m#g' )"

Does partition pruning happen while updating a partition

Hi,
I want to know if i am doing conditional update on partitioned table then do i need to mention the partition name.
Does it do it by itself ?

No. You should only specify the partition name if you are doing some sort of partition maintenance operation (dropping a partition, adding a partition, etc.). Assuming your UPDATE statement has a WHERE clause that includes the partition key(s), Oracle should automatically prune the partitions if it is reasonable to do so.
Of course, it's a reasonable idea to run a query plan to confirm that the optimizer is behaving reasonably.

[SOLVED] searching a package with pacman/yaourt

Sometimes i encounter a crash of kmix application on OS bootup. When i try submitting a bug report, it says that "The generated crash information is probably not useful'. The needed packages say i should be having, among others, 'libQtGui.so.4'
How do i search which package provides this file? I have tried a few options with -Q and -S, but that doesn't seem to work. Any pointers?
