Several problems under Arch

New to using Arch64 and having several problems.
Hal seems to be mounting a random 100mb partition from one of my windows XP NTFS drives.
Anything I download using firefox is corrupt, and does not appear under firefox's "downloads" section. - 2.0.0.6 (Any file downloaded is labeled a "plain text document" that is unreadable with 0 byte size)
My understanding is that Wine now offers a 64bit version, but this still requires multilib which arch is not, yet I've found no helpful guide to arrive at a multilib arch to use wine.
Does pacman not have a method for globally uninstalling no longer needed dependencies, or is this handled at the "pacman -Rd" level.

New problem is fglrx broke after a pacman -Syu (updated fglrx during it.)
# fglrxinfo
_X11TransSocketINETConnect() can't get address for localhost:6000: Name or service not known
Error: unable to open display :0
I was wrong on hal, after bringing the drive back i noticed the 100mb partition hal is mounting is "really" supposed to be my /boot partition. But when i boot up it uses the "boot" folder mounted on "/" named "boot" instead of "/dev/sdc1" which is supposed to be "/boot".
If I change it in fstab to mount /dev/sdc1 partition correctly as /boot, it boots from "/dev/sdc3"'s /boot instead, then loads /dev/sdc1 as "/boot" afterwards.
Any suggestions, it is hard to explain.

[SOLVED] Several problems with PulseAudio under Xfce4

So, yesterday I sat down to set up pulseaudio on my machine (I want to try and use it for my 'networked-audio system' of the future).
I was aware of the fact that pulseaudio does have several problems. particularly with ALSA-compatibility, but I was ready to give it a shot anyway and hope for the best.
Of course that did not happen...
I installed everything (including packages for backward compatibility with ALSA) and while sound still works (what a relief), I have several problems now:
1. Pulseaudio does NOT save it's volume levels - Volume levels for Pulseaudio are gone after next reboot, I was trying to look into this, but found no workable solution.
2. Strange behaviour of apps when changing volume - This is REALLY annoying.
When I am in a music app for example (e.g. Banshee) and am trying to increase/decrease volume, the current sound (song) will 'mute' when I am moving the slider and only 'resume' after I release it.
Any ideas are much appreciated,
Thanks,
SOLVED: It seems that all my alsa channels were automatically muted when pulseaudio was first enabled.
Strange, Is this because pulseaudio wants you not to use alsa or something? :-)

I'm using just alsa now but when I used pulseaudio I used "pacmd" to set suitable volumes. Something like
pacmd set-default-volume (and then volumes in the range 0-65000?)
anyway, "pacmd info" will have the correct command.
I was not aware of this, very useful - Thank you.

I have several devices under my apple id. If somebody contacts me all the other devices are ringing. How can I get rid of phone numbers in face time

Hi, i updated to ios 8
I have several devices under my apple id account. 2 iPhones (me and my wife ). 2 iPads also me and my wife and my iMac
The problem is that if somebody calls me for example for face time all the other devices are also ringing, because in face time my phone number is showing and also my wife's phone number. How can I get rid of my phone number on her iphone and ipad and vice versa
Please help

The problem is that I can not verify her id on message and on Facetime
has that to do that the ipad has no tel number of course?? Should I leave my id number on her iPad ??
That isn't due to not having a phone number on her iPad. You can use FaceTime with any iPad using an email address as the "phone number". And if her iPad isn't a first generation iPad, if she uses the same Apple ID for FaceTime on both her iPhone and iPad, her iPhone number can be used as well (see iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage).
If her iPad is not verifying her Apple ID for FaceTime it's probably because the Apple servers are busy. Keep trying and it should verify. If you continue to have problems with this, look through the troubleshooting steps here: iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation.

The story
So...rather than wasting internet bandwith to download a new Ubuntu ISO to test out the new Unity features, I decided to try to make it work under Arch Linux. It took a whole lot longer than I expected to get it even partially working. So, here's my story:
Knowing that Unity isn't in the main repositories, I went the AUR's website and looked for a user created Unity package. That didn't go too well. The Unity package hasn't been updated for 6 months. D'oh! I decided to download the existing PKGBUILD and modify it to work with the Unity 4.xx series. After changing the version number, I tried to "makepkg" it, and was greeted with a message about installing Compiz 0.9.x. I thought it would be an easy install. It was quite the opposite. Compiz's install prefix was set to /opt/unity, but FindCompiz cmake build file expected Compiz to be in /usr, so none of the Compiz packages, except for compiz-core would compile. Then, I tried reinstalling compiz-core, but this time, changing the prefix to /usr. The compiled package ended up being only a few kilobytes big. I guess the mouse wheel was invented for a reason. I looked at the PKGBUILD again, only to find that there was a line at the very bottom that ran "rm -rf ${pkgdir}/usr". That explains a lot! I ended up adopting all the compiz*-git packages and fixing them so they would compile and install.
So, now that Compiz is working (restarted and tested just to make sure I didn't waste my time with something that didn't work), I went on to install the rest of the dependencies listed in the Unity PKGBUILD file. That went relatively well. I was so happy after seeing the progress counter go up after running "makepkg", but at about 8%, gcc spat out an error about an undeclared function (sorry, I forgot what the function was). Natually, I went to Google and searched the name of the function. 0 results! Exactly was I was looking for! I ended up downloading the Ubuntu 11.10 Alpha 3 ISO and running "find -type f /usr/lib | xargs objdump -T | grep the_function". The problem lied in the libindicator package. There was a newer version available which contained that function. I have no idea why a package that's only 0.02 versions ahead of the AUR package would contain new functions...
Next! Utouch...ugh...great memories! Not! I was so glad that I had fixed the utouch packages earlier (for touchegg to work). I was too frustrated from compiz and libindicator to try to compile more stuff.
Cmake. Whoever created the CMakeLists.txt file didn't list all the dependencies required. So after running "makepkg" 10 billion times, waiting for "somebodydidntputthisincmake.h not found" errors to appear, I finally got all the dependencies I needed installed...or so I thought. After installing and compiling all these dependencies, the cmake only continues 3% further before encountering another cryptic gcc error. This time, there no error about a file not being found. So not knowing what dependency was missing, I headed over to http://packages.ubuntu.com and downloaded the Unity DEB source to find the dependencies in then debian/control file. After install those few dependencies that I missed, I ran "makepkg" again, hoping that it would finally compile successfully. CMake went a little further--5% further to be exact--before running into another error. It complained about DndSourceDragBegin() having two return types. Sure, enough "./plugins/unityshell/src/ResultViewGrid.h" had the return type as boolean and "/usr/include/Nux-1.0/Nux/InputArea.h" had the return type as void. WTF? How the heck does this even compile under 11.10???
After changing void to bool in "/usr/include/Nux-1.0/Nux/InputArea.h", I ran "makepkg" once again anxiously waiting to the see the line "Finished making: unity 4.10.2". CMake compiled about 35% before running into error about an undeclared gtk function. Nooooooooooooo!!! I wasn't brave enough to install the git version of gtk3, so I created a chroot, installed the base packages, and installed all of those dependencies fairly quickly (it gets a lot easier after doing it so many times).
Moving on to gtk3. After cloning the ~200MB git repository, autotools spits out an error about cairo-gl missing. So, I proceeded to install the cairo-gl-git package, which failed to compile (it compiled successfully outside of the chroot...). GREAT. So, Unity fails to compile because GTK version is too old, and GTK failed to compile because cairo-gl is missing, and cairo-gl fails to compile because I'm in a chroot. GAHHH!!! While thinking about throwing the computer out of the window, I searched the AUR for other GTK3 packages. I just happened to find a package named "GTK3-UBUNTU"! That package was still at version 3.0, but it was pretty easy to get the patches and source code for 3.1 from the Ubuntu GTK source package.
So, FINALLY, Unity compiles. I was so darn happy, I didn't even care if it ran or not. I logged out and logged back into the GNOME 3 fallback mode, and entered the chroot. After running "xhost +SI:localuser:chenxiaolong" to run X11 apps in the chroot, I crossed my fingers and ran "DISPLAY=:0.0 unity --replace". It failed with python 3 complaining about missing modules. That's okay, since the Unity launch script is written in python 2. I changed the shebang line in "/usr/bin/unity" to point to python 2 and ran "DISPLAY=:0.0 unity --replace". It didn't necessarily fail, but it didn't succeed either. It didn't print out any error messages. Weird... I thought I'd try enabling Unity from the compiz settings manager then. I ran "DISPLAY=:0.0 compiz --replace" and "DISPLAY=:0.0 ccsm" and enabled the Unity plugin. Unity runs! Although nothing shows on the screen, it runs! It shows up in the process list! Woohoo!
And that's about how far I got. There were quite a few Vala errors during the compiling process (I forgot which package it was), which is probably why Unity won't appear. I'll try again later with the vala-devel or vala-git package and hopefully Unity will work then. Here are screenshots of what I've gotten working so far:
http://i.imgur.com/7F1fm.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/zGNJc.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/3mCgd.jpg
By then way, I love the simplicity of pacman and the AUR. I can't imagine how long this would have taken with other package managers.

City-busz: I'm getting a ton of Vala errors when I compile libunity (AUR version) with vala or vala-devel. libunity fails to compile with vala-git. I'll try your packages in a virtual machine and see how they work on 64 bit.
In the meantime, Unity still fails to show up: http://i.imgur.com/btPwo.png I'll try out your PKGBUILDS and see how that works. I'm glad there are people who want to port Unity to Arch Linux
EDIT: City-busz: Just to let you know, Unity will fail to compile at around 45% with GTK 3.0. Here's my source packaage for Ubuntu's GTK 3.1: http://ubuntuone.com/p/1EzX/ It contains all of the patches in the Ubuntu source package. I'm not sure if all the patches are needed, but GTK compiles fine with all of them.
EDIT2: Right now, I'm trying to compile Vala 0.10.4, then version used in Ubuntu 11.10. Hopefully that will eliminate some of the Vala errors.
EDIT3: Vala 0.10 is too old. 0.12 and 0.14 are also in the Ubuntu repository. Trying those...
EDIT4: 0.14 is actually 0.13.1. Gah... Vala takes longer to compile under VirtualBox than GTK3...
EDIT5: Okay...so VirtualBox "helpfully" became slow enough that I could read the error messages. The Vala error messages aren't actually error messages, but rather warnings about unused methods. I wonder what prevents Unity from running then...

Is somebody developing in Action Script under Arch?

Hi!
Not sure it's the right place to post this, but at work I had all the pain in the world to set up an Action Script development under Debian (that's the distro I am using at work) and finally had to work under Windows. There was no free IDE and it was impossible at least for me to install a debug version of flash.
Now I am finding the possibilities of Action Script interesting, and would like to use it for some personal projects at home (where I run Arch). I am curious to know if someone else is using Action Script under Arch, and in which case, what are their setups and if they had any problem to install everything they need.
Thanks!

I used to code in ActionSrcipt.
I never had any real problems with it and I have workded for over 15 years in Linux only OSes.
I always used my prefered editor ( at the time it was vim I think ) and then did all my testing in the browser by running the flash movie.
The question you have to ask yourself is: Is it really worth for me to spend time with it?
ActionScript is tyied to Flash ... and Flash is in it's "way out". Sure it will not disappear tomorrow but it's just a matter of time. Heck even Adobe acknolledge that...
To me, if you just like coding ActionScript, then go to JavaScript. AS is just JS with adaptations to the movie playing engine of Flash.
Hope this helps.

Probably broken initrd, how to create one anew under Arch

Hi again,
I managed to install Arch on my USB flash drive which I partitioned /dev/sdb1 to be /boot,
/dev/sdb2 = PV of vgarch with one lv_root and one lv_var, and swap as /dev/sdb5 (first partition in extended part.)
The FTP install went fine after I had mounted /boot and the LVs / and /var.
I also successfully ran the setup afterwards, editing each config file, even those where I didn't apply any modifications.
Finally, I installed grub in the MBR of the USB drive, viz. /dev/sdb.
When asked during the configuration what modules I would require during boot
I confirmed LVM, RAID and included dm-mod manually in the MODULES array.
Nevertheless, the initial RAM disk must have been created incorrectly.
Because when I boot from the stick
the grub menu appears and when the default entry gets started I get the error message:
Booting 'Arch Linux'
root (hd1,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/mapper/vgarch-lv_root ro
Error 15: File not found
Press any key to continue...
I know that something must have gone wrong while createing the initrd file.
Sorry, right now I cannot even mount my USB stick in the running Xubuntu from where I write this posting.
The reason is pretty daft, as I was too unwary.
Being used to the RHEL/CentOS initrd image files (where absolute path names are stripped)
I instantly did the following mess and buggered up my running Linux.
# mkdir /tmp/arch
# cd /tmp/arch
# gzip -dc /media/disk/kernel26.img | cpio -di
Ouch, this overrode many important binaries
I should have first piped it into
... | cpio -ti | less
or at least
... | cpio -di --no-absolute-filenames
Did I mention that I haven't made a backup
Never mind, this is a surf only installation anyway which I quickly can replace.
After having extracted the cpio image with stripped absolute paths I looked at the init script.
On RHEL/CentOS there is the mkinitrd script to recreate the initial RAM disk more easily
than from scratch.
Exists something similar under Arch?

MKINITCPIO(5)    MKINITCPIO(5)
NAME
mkinitcpio - Create an initial ramdisk environment
SYNOPSIS
mkinitcpio [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
Creates an initial ramdisk environment for booting the linux kernel.
The initial ramdisk is in essence a very small environment (early
userspace) which loads various kernel modules and sets up necessary
things before handing over control to init. This makes it possible to
have, for example, encrypted root filesystems and root filesystems on a
software RAID array. mkinitcpio allows for easy extension with custom
hooks, has autodetection at runtime, and many other features.
OPTIONS
-c config
   Use config file to generate the ramdisk. Default:
   /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
-k kernelversion
   Use kernelversion. Default is the current running kernel.
-s filelist
   Saves a list of all the files in the initial ramdisk in filelist.
   Default: no; This means the filelist will not be retained if this
   option isn´t specified. Useful for debugging purposes.
-b basedir
   Use basedir as a starting point for gathering information about the
   currently running system. Default: /.
-g filename
   Generate a CPIO image as filename. Default: no; this means nothing
   will be written to the filesystem unless this option is specified.
-a filelist
   Append to an existing filelist. Default no.
-p preset
   Build initial ramdisk according to specified preset. Presets are
   found in /etc/mkinitcpio.d
-m message
   Print message before passing control to kinit.
-S hooks
   Skip hooks when generating the image. Several hooks should be
   comma-separated.
-v
   Verbose output. Outputs more information about what´s happening
   during creation of the ramdisk.
-M
   Display modules found via autodetection. mkinitcpio will
   automatically try to determine which kernel modules are needed to
   start your computer. This option lists which modules were detected.
-L
   List all available hooks.
-H hookname
   Output help for hookname hookname
-h
   Output a short overview of available command-line switches.
ABOUT HOOKS
A hook is a script that executes in the initial ramdisk. The order and
which scripts are executed is found in the HOOKS=() array in the
mkinitcpio configuration file. A hook will, for example, set up the
udev device filesystem, load IDE modules, etc...
ABOUT PRESETS
A preset is a pre-defined definition on how to create an initial
ramdisk. Instead of specifying the configuration file and which output
file, every time you generate a new intial ramdisk, you define a preset
and use the -p switch to generate an initial ramdisk according to your
preset. Presets are located in /etc/mkinitcpio.d
FILES
/etc/mkinitcpio.conf
   Default configuration file for mkinitcpio.
/etc/mkinitcpio.d
   Folder containing mkinitcpio presets.
/lib/initcpio
   Files related to creating an initial ramdisk.
EXAMPLES
mkinitcpio
   Perform a dry-run. This will generate an initial ramdisk but will
   not write anything. Use -g to create the real image.
mkinitcpio -p kernel26
   Create an initial ramdisk based on the kernel26 preset.

Making Echo Mia (Midi) sound cards work under Arch [FIXED]

This guide will install and setup the Echo Mia (Midi) under Arch using ALSA.
Make sure ALSA is installed properly. If not,
# pacman -S alsa-utils
will do the trick.
We will then need to install Echo Mia ALSA drivers, firmware and the Echomixer.
First, check what versions of alsa-lib and alsa-utils are installed by running:
$ pacman -Q alsa-utils
Then download the sources for ALSA:
wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.x.tar.bz2
wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/firmware/alsa-firmware-1.0.x.tar.bz2
wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/tools/alsa-tools-1.0.x.tar.bz2
tar xjvf alsa-driver-1.0.x.tar.bz2
tar xjvf alsa-firmware-1.0.x
tar xjvf alsa-tools-1.0.x
where x is replaced as needed with the correct version.
Then we compile the driver with support for mia.
cd alsa-driver-1.0.x
./configure --with-cards=mia
make
sudo make install
Then we install the firmware for the card.
cd ../alsa-firmware-1.0.x
./configure
make
sudo make install
Then we install the echomixer.
cd ../alsa-tools-1.0.x/echomixer/
./configure
make
sudo make install
Now we need to add the snd-mia module to the modules line in /etc/rc.conf. If there are other sound modules active, that conflict with the snd-mia module, disable them. In my case, I had to disable my snd-hda-intel, prefixing it with a '!'.
Now, we have to edit some configuration files.
This should be the only content of ~/.asoundrc:
pcm.mia {
type hw
card 0
ctl.mia {
type hw
card 0
Then, add this to /etc/modprobe.conf:
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-mia
# module options should go here
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
# card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
Now would be the time to reboot.
After rebooting, make sure that the snd-mia module was loaded.
Run echomixer and activate the VU meter. If the sound module was loaded properly, the VU meters should be active and floating in the -80 to -100 dB region (background noise). If this is the case, we should have a functional mia soundcard. Most audio programs will still not work despite the module being active, however, we can test the sound output with the aplay command. Next step would be to raise the mixer values to good levels using the echomixer. This could also be done via the alsamixer in terminal.
After the sound output is confirmed, achieving normal sound output using standard ALSA can get rather messy, and sound mixing is not working out of the box. The sound driver often crashed also while trying to play more sounds at the same time.
The solution to this problem is using PulseAudio, which allows mixing, and enables applications to use Mia without further tinkering.
Installation is straight forward, following the guide as shown on the PulseAudio wiki page. After installation of PulseAudio, the ~/.asoundrc should look like this:
pcm.mia {
type hw
card 0
ctl.mia {
type hw
card 0
pcm.pulse {
type pulse
ctl.pulse {
type pulse
pcm.!default {
type pulse
ctl.!default {
type pulse
As for the /etc/pulse/default.pa, it shouldn't be needed to be changed. If problems arise when loading PulseAudio, make sure that pulseaudio is loaded after hal, as it is needed for detection by PulseAudio.
Now, go back to /etc/rc.conf, and the DAEMON line should look something like this:
DAEMONS=(@syslog-ng @network @netfs @crond fam hal alsa pulseaudio mpd @slim)
The important part are that hal, alsa and pulseaudio are loaded sequential after eachother. After a reboot, it should work.

            Process p;
            try
                p=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/usr/local/WordNet-3.0/bin/./wn " + englishword + " -hypen > /home/istvan/wordnet/Kimenetek/ki.txt"); //"englishword" is a String
                //p=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ls");
                try {p.waitFor();}
                   catch (InterruptedException ex1) {System.out.println(ex1.getMessage());}
                System.out.println(p.getInputStream().toString()); // ---> "java.io.BufferedInputStream@1bcc0bc"
                System.out.println(p.getErrorStream().toString()); // ---> "java.io.FileInputStream@111a3a4"
               catch (IOException ex) {System.out.println(ex.getMessage());} It does absolutely nothing, doesn't create the desired "ki.txt" file, although from the command line works just fine. In fact, even at the simple "ls" command gives the message mentioned in the code as a comment.
Can somebody help me? Thanks in advance.

There are several problems.
First of all, the "command > somefile" syntax is interpreted by
the shell on Linux. But exec does not load the shell by default.
So the redirection does not work.
Secondly, you should not execute the program as is,
and then read its output using "getInputStream()" afterwards.
There is buffer overflow and data starvation issues.
See this excellent tutorial for how to create separate
threads to channel data to and from a subprocess:

QT plug-in several problems

Hi everyone,
i'm developing a website which use QT plug-in to display an interactive VR movie. This website is composed with a first page with link to a second page that is written with classic ASP and is divided into two frames (upper wich contains the QT and lower which is the target (named targetFrame) of the hotspots).
I control the QT-plg-in with javascript functions described here:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/QuickTime/Conceptual/QTScriptingJavaScript/bQTScripting_JavaScri_Document/chapter_1000_section_6.html#//apple_re f/doc/uid/TP40001526-CH001-DontLinkElementID14
And i insert the QT OBJECT in my page with the javascript function suggested here:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/QuickTime/Conceptual/QTScripting_HTML/ index.html
I have encountered several problems to realize this webpage and i ask your help:
1) in IE (6/7):
When the user open the second page, all is loaded perfectly, but if the second page were closed and reopened IE ALWAYS crash. I tried with Safari and Firefox but they works very fine.
2) in Firefox:
As i explained before, i control QT plug-in with javascript functions suggested by Apple, but Firefox don't recognize theese functions as valid functions and therefore not work.
3) QT 7.2:
To control the click of hotspot i use the object parameters like suggested by Apple,:
QT_WriteOBJECT('vr/vr1.mov','545', '340','','HOTSPOT1','mylink1.asp','TARGET1','targetFrame','HOTSPOT2','mylink2.a sp','TARGET2','targetFrame')
When i start to develope this website i used QT 6.5, and everything works fine, but when i have installed the QT 7.2, everytime i click on an hotspot it open the link in a new window instead of the target frame i choose.
As you can realize i cannot publish this website, beacause of this problems.
Please HELP ME!!!

Hi Kirk, thank you for your answer.
Unfortunately, i had to remove the Demo.
However, i know that the demo works fine with Safari.
The problems are with IE 6/7 or Firefox.
I have noticed a strange behavior of the Demo for the first problem.
I have converted all pages from asp to htm, and tried it in local.
It works very well and IE never crash.
I am driving crazy!

I have one apple account and one apple ID. I have several devices under that ID. Why when I download and app on one device it goes on all devices?

Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2 v.11 remains in Software Update queue but, is listed (several times) under "Updates Installed in Last 30 Days.

Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2 v.11 remains in Software Update queue but, is listed (several times) under "Updates Installed in Last 30 Days". This is also the case with HP Printer Software update 3.0 and Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 6.03. Clicking the "update" button for these doesn't appear to install the software, but lists it in the "Updates Installed in Last 30 Days" without removing it from the Software Update queue.

Thank you. I tried that and even gave it a few days to do its thing, but I still get the same results. Remote Desktop, HP Printer, Digital Camera all still appear in "Available Updates", but the same versions appear under "Updates Installed in the Last 30 Days". BTW, I had to manually install the Safari 8.0.4 update because it also wasn't updating.

Since I upgrade my iphone 3gs to ios 5.1, I have several problems with network and wi-fi, any solution?

Since I upgrade my iphone 3gs to ios 5.1, I have several problems with network and wi-fi, any solution? (No jailbreak)
Most of the time the iphone cannot reach any network and when it can, there is no data transfer, I can only make calls and sms.
