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

  • [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?

  • 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' )"

  • Can't update/search/install packages via pacman or yaourt

    Everything was fine until I manually installed package-query and yaourt and now I am unable to update/search/install packages via pacman or yaourt.
    Earlier I was having trouble installing the package-query and yaourt packges using pacman so had to install them manually and now it wont connect to the repos.
    My eth0 is up, the proxies are set, all browsers work so no problem from the network side.

Once you're done, disable the repository though because everything except for yaourt is out-of-date by at least a month.
    Don't ever suggest that. The repo is 100% useless since it is trivial to install yaourt from aur. Also yaourt/package-query in that repo is often broken/outdated.
    Also it is not relevant to op's problem anyway. There were some routing issue to leseweb the other day, I also noticed it. Just switching mirror works fine.

  • 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?

    Are you searching for Contracts in CRM Web UI or in CS??
    If it is in CRM Web UI - you can use the standard search with below search parameters.

  • Searching for scripts with Spotlight

    I decided to ask this question on this forum because AppleScripters are the most likely to search for scripts with Spotlight.
    *First, here’s what seems to be the normal behavior of Spotlight:*
    If I open the folder “/Users/pierre/Documents/Loisirs/Informatique/Utilisation avancée/AppleScript”, type ⌘F and enter “Kind is Other” and “script” as the search criterion, I get 89 items in the +Searching “AppleScript”+ window.
    On the other hand, if I replace the previous criterion with “File extension is scpt”, I get 88 items in the +Searching “AppleScript”+ window, which is normal since one of my scripts is a script bundle, whose extension is “scptd”.
    Next, if I open my home folder, type ⌘F again and enter “Kind is Other” and “script” as the search criterion, I get 110 items in the +Searching “pierre”+ window, which again is normal since many of my scripts are outside of my “AppleScript” folder.
    *Now, here’s what looks like a bug:*
    If I replace the previous criterion with “File extension is scpt” in my home folder, I get only 3 items (instead of 109) in the +Searching “pierre”+ window, which obviously is nonsense.
    I have rebuilt permissions and reindexed Spotlight, without any difference.
    Any explanation?

    Hi Pierre
    Not a explanation, but a possible solution, try some of these ideas:::
    1) Restart Mac
    2) Rebuild the spot light index manually (I no you said you have done this, this is just a path to follow):
    a) launch terminal
    b) type this sudo mdutil -E /
    c) type in your admin password when prompted
    d) rebuilding index should commence (could take a while)
    3) clear the spot light caches and prefs:
    a) download "Yasu" from here and install
    http://jimmitchelldesign.com/yasu/
    b) enable "Reset System Prefs", "Clear System font Cache", "Clear local font cache", "Clear user font cache"
    click ok
    c) Restart Mac
    4) Kill the SystemUIServer:
    a) launch activity monitor, find process "SystemUIServer" highlight then click button quit process
    hope this helps

  • Searching for pictures with 2 keywords

    Hi guys, I was just wondering if there is way to search for files with two specific keywords.
    Lets say that I want to find picture that contains both Nicol and Brandy keywords. Not just one or the other. Is there any way to that in Bridge CS5?
       Thanks for your help.  Charles

    Yes, yes there is.  You need to use the Find function (Ctrl F in Windows).
    With the Find window you will see a + at the right edge of Criteria line.  Click that and it will add lines.
    Select the Match for "All criteria met".

    How do I search for lines with a particular patter and delete them when a match occurs? For example delete lines containing SUB_NAME = "?" where ? is any string. 
    Lines in what? And what language are you using to develop with?
    Are the lines in a text file? A RichTextBox? A TextBox? Some other control? A List(Of String)?
    Is there some expectation by you that by providing what you wrote in your question post that the knowledge in your mind about what you are thinking about will mysteriously emanate to anybody reading your post so all of the sudden your knowledge will
    become their knowledge and they will be able to provide you with an answer as they will suddenly understand what you are trying to do? Because that's probably impossible. Most people try providing enough information in a question so anybody, even stupid people
    like me, can understand what they want. Maybe you should try that. As well as selecting an appropriate forum for your question in the future. Usually a question like this is related to programming in a particular language therefore a language forum may be
    a good choice. Or not.

  • 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

  • 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.

    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.
