[Solved] Broke my install (a little bit) - /usr issue?

Hi folks,
I am new to Arch Linux and until now I have had great success with configuring my system and have learnt a lot ... until I tried a little experiment to compressing my /usr folder as per these instructions http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-646289.html. The experiment failed and I had to restore my /usr from the backup I made.
Unfortunately, now it is behaving weird. My Gnome network-manager applet no longer seems to start (despite my Daemons looking correct), I no longer have shutdown-suspend-hibernate options in my menu, only log-off (which seems to log off but logs me straight back in again) and things no longer automount (and do not even appear under "places" so it is as if they are not even recognized.
I am wondering if it is an issue with permissions that may have changed from copying the /usr folder to another drive and back? I am hoping it is a really easy issue that I have overlooked and someone will be able to recognized and help me with. Failing that, I am not sure what information would be best to help someone diagnose so please ask for whatever is necessary.
Thanks in advance,
Scott

Won't that make all packages explicitely installed?
IIRC doing a pacman -S (or even pacman -U) when you already have that package installed doesn't change whether it's recorded as a dep or explicit install.
You should probably test, though.

[Solved]Error with installing package: /usr/lib64 exists in filesystem

So i know there are other posts about this and i have read them and I have also read the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/De … _in_.2Flib and also this forum post https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=156942
the error i get when trying to install a package from the AUR
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
hp-health: /usr/lib64 exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
I tried to find who owned the files/package in the /lib by the following commands
$ grep '^lib/' /var/lib/pacman/local/*/files
$ find /lib -exec pacman -Qo -- {} +
the output was
/lib is owned by filesystem 2015.02-1
Im confused what to do at this point as the wiki that I linked above says
If any package apart from glibc is listed as owning a file, that package needs to be updated to install its files in /usr/lib

You are following directions for a file conflict with /lib for a very specific one-time manual intervention, but you don't have that file conflict according to the error message you posted and it is not for that intervention. See this instead: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … 9.22_error then report the error on the aur page for that package.
This fixes it:
package() {
cd "$srcdir"
+ mv usr/lib64 usr/lib
cp -a opt usr var "$pkgdir"

Filcking right a little bit on trackpad makes webpages stop working.

Sorry if my English is broken...
I'm using Safari 7.0.3 on Mac OS X 10.9.2 installed MacBook Pro.
The trouble is just as menthoned in the title.
If you have Majic Trackpad or built-in trackpad, try these steps... These steps make the problem happen.
Open Safari.
Visit some webpage.
Then visit another webpage.
Finally, using trackpad, flick rightwards a little(as you do when you go back to the previous page, but do it just a little bit & release your finger quickly).
And when those steps 'work', following horrible glitches will happen:
The webpage you're visiting is shifted slightly to the right and the webpage you were visiting before can be seen a little. (This is the sign of 'success!')
The webpage stops working. You will never be able to write into a textbox on that page and so on.
You can't visit websites in that tab anymore. You can see webpages being loaded, but nothing happen in your tab.
Trackpad scrolling in other tabs is blocked until you close the tab in question.
I'm surprised because I've never had such a problem before...
So, the question is: What is this caused by? And how can I prevent it? (Well, trying not to flick a little IS one solution, but not this time XD)

There are reports that this problem can be solved by simply restarting, or by resetting the PRAM.

Need a little bit of guidance

I need a little bit of guidance.
My plan is to make a PKGBUILD, but I've ran into a few snags. I'm trying to make PKGBUILD for ToME-223-src (Troubles of Middle Earth). But first I want to compile and install it locally so I'll have a good idea of how to make the PKBUILD right and to test it for awhile. So the PKGBUILD is something later on to worry about.
I have a bit of delimma. For some reason, the developer(s) of this game have the binary for it to use suid (I'm not sure their reasoning since I'm not a very experience programmer). Fortunately, in the makefile, it uses the variable OWNER=games by default. This is what is responsible for setting the ownership of all of the files when "make install" is ran appearantly. This presents a few challenges.
When you get to the point of where you make install it, it's install rule wants to recursively run chown on all the files being installed like a nice and tidy makefile does. So if you're not logged in as root when you do the "make install" it gets choked up a bit and doesn't copy/install all the files. So a regular user account doesn't generally have needed privileges to run chown and it has to be assumed when someone is going to install my tentative package they won't either.
Another delimma is that since it wants to utilize suid, this creates the necessity of a regular user account to be the owner of these files (I don't like the idea of this game running with root privileges personally). We don't want root ownership on whatever files have their suid bit set I would think. So this will require the making of the appropriate user. Again, this usually requires high enough privileges by the person building.
This of course could be solved by using useradd in the build function, and the having builder being logged on as root when they makepgk, but I really don't like that nor feel it's a very kosher approach.
Any idea of how I can come up with an elegant solution to this? How is this sort of situation normally handled with ABS?

If a package needs chown on install, or a new user created, this is typically done in the .install script. When pacman installs the pakcage, the .install script is run as root.
Based purely on your description, my suggestion would be to skip the make install stage, and use install commands in the PKGBUILD to put the files in the right places. In the .install script, create the required user and associated permissions.
Here's a typical example.

Whenever I go to a site or click anything, I always have to move my mouse for the page to load, why is this happening? (When I go to a site full of images, I move my mouse a little bit at a time and it loads one image at a time)

Hi, Tom.
FYI: You've not stated which of your listed Macs is having the problem. However, the following may help in any case:
1. Did you install Front Row using the Front Row hack on a Mac that did not ship from the factory with Front Row installed? If so, See my "Uninstalling the Front Row hack" FAQ. This has been known to cause a variety of problems, including the menu bar (Clock, Spotlight) issues you noted.
2. If you did not install the Front Row Hack, an incompatible or corrupted Startup or Login Item may be partly to blame for the problems with the menu bar. My "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ can help you pin that down if such an item is causing the problem.
3. As a general check, run the procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
4. Re: Safari and Mail, if not sorted by any of the above, see also:• "Safari: Blank icon after installing Security Update 2006-002 v1.0."
• My my "Multiple applications quit unexpectedly or fail to launch" FAQ

CF10 on Windows server 2008 (64bit): 32-bit CF cannot be installed, but 64-bit can.

Hi, I have exhaused my research and ways of fixing this issue.
I have a Windows Server 2008 (64-bit).
I am able to install 64-bit CF10 on it and CF websites run just fine.
On the same machine, I have a ASP website that must be in run in 32-bit and within this website there are some ColdFusion pages. So I have to install CF10 32 bit. So I uninstalled CF10 64bit.
When installing CF10 32 bit, I always got error message:
Cannot configure IIS connector. Enable the required option ASP.NET, ISAPI Extensions and ISAPI Filter in IIS under Windows Features and try again.
I did lot of online research and found RELATED posts, but none of them worked for me. Basically, in my case I have the IIS following installed
ISAPI Extensions
ISAPI Filter
ASP.NET
CGI
but I alway got the above error message. Cannot think of other reasons.
Any help is really appreciated!!! I have been working on this thing for the past three working days.
Regards.

Hi,
I saw your post which is similar to the problem I'm trying to solve. I'm not sure if I need to post a new topic, but I thought just add it to your post.
I installed CF10-64bit on Windows 2008 server (64 bit). When I opened the CF admin, it gave me an error - HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error. The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred. Module: IsapiModule, Handler: cfmHandler, Error Code: 0x800700c1. After searching for solution in the internet, I finally made it work after changing the DefaultAppPool which is used by the CFIDE in the advance settings, the "Enable 32-bit Applications" to False.
Now, my problem is I have an ASP application which requires that the application pool advance settings must be set to True for "Enable 32-bit Applications". I created another application pool for this application. It woks fine. However, this ASP application calls some CF pages and I'm having a problem because the CF10 is set to use a different application pool with diferent setting for "Enable 32-bit Applications".
In order for my application to work, it seems that I need to install the CF10 32 bit version. Am I right? Or is there a work around for my issue?
Thanks in advance for any help.
I'm going to create a new post for this.

How come iTunes keeps saying:"this iPod can not be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64 bit version of iTunes?" Wth...i am using the 64version.

Hi. How come iTunes keeps saying:"this iPod can not be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64 bit version of iTunes?" Wth...i am using the 64 bit version of itunes. Why does it keep saying that? Will someone Help me please!? This is is getting frustrating. I already had done a full removal of everything! I even removed and deleted my library...then had to put all 500 songs back on one by one. So, i don't have to remove everything again, just to get my ipod to work on here. You, know before the itunes update, my ipod and itunes were working just fine.

wow, that was a quick reply. lol. but i have removed everything. I wasn't even able to get iTunes on my computer for a little while. i kept getting errors on that. Now it's saying that the required software isn't installed. Hmm, could it be referring to Apple Mobile Device Support? That is supposed to be installed with when iTunes gets installed right? I only ask, because that didn't get installed with the itunes setup.

Should I install a 32 bit printer driver on a 64 Operating Sytem?

I have an HP Officejet 6700e wireless printer. It is used by 2 computers. The Operating Systems on the computers are as follows:
1 – HP Pavilion laptop using Windows 8.1, 64 bit.
2 – HP Pavilion laptop using Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit.
I noticed there are BOTH 32 bit and 64 bit printer drivers for Windows 7 and Windows 8 & 8.1.
I have 2 questions:
First, since both computers use 64 bit operating systems, shouldn't I install the 64 bit printer driver?
Second, is there any advantage to installing the 32 bit printer driver on a 64 bit operating system?
Thanks very much, Terry
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Install the driver which matches the operating system and the bit type (32-bit or 64-bit) that is installed on each PC.
Second, is there any advantage to installing the 32 bit printer driver on a 64 bit operating system? There is no advantage at all. It would actually be a bad practice unless the printer driver is compatible with both bit types.

[SOLVED] Can I install Gnome 3 alongside KDE?

Long story short, I hated everything about Gnome 3 when it first came out, but 3.10 (and 3.12) look sleek. I've just installed it in VBox and it seems great, though there are some graphical issues (I'm guessing that's because of the VBox).
Currently running Arch as a host, with KDE 4.12 installed. I remember back in the old days you could install both DEs easily and switch between them in the login manager - is this still the case? Should I simply do a pacman -S install gnome and that's it? The main question is - this should not cause any issues, correct?
Cheers,
Bo

Try using gnome classic. Its preconfigured gnome-shell so it looks a little bit like gnome2, but with the gnome3 functionality... and its lightweight (in comparisson to KDE4). Which was the main reason why I switched from xfce4 to gnome3. (and i am using the gnome-classic one) KDE takes too long to load IMHO and thats something I cannot live with.

Is it possible to install Win7 64-bit on Satego P100-490?

Hi,
I wonder if its possible to install that version on my notebook?
There are no drivers to download on the toshiba page, so I'd like to ask if anyone has any suggestions for me.

Hi
Yes, this is possible.
Satego P100 series is very similar to Satellite P100 series and if you need Win 7 drivers I recommend checking also the drivers released for Satellite P100.
Note; Satellite P100 is a little bit older notebook series and the drivers can be found in Archive. In download form -> Product type choose Archive and then point to the P100 series.

How to fix "A 32-bit agent is installed on 64-bit operating system" alerts

Hi
We have installed SCOM 2007 R2 CU1 in our environment (by properly following installation sequence given on the CU1 web page). After manually installing agent update of CU1 on 64 bit servers, we are getting alerts "A 32-bit agent is installed on 64-bit
operating system" and the status of these 64-bit servers remains in Warning state. We have manually uninstalled and reinstalled 64-bit agent as well as 64-bit CU1 agent update but still the status is in Warning state. We can not completely uninstall cluster
node agent, remove it from the console and reinstall agent from scratch because SCOM R2 is not allowing to do clean uninstall and reinstall of agent on cluster nodes.
If anyone faces similar problem and have fixed it then please let me know the solution so i can also fix the issue.
Thank you

Thanks & regards, H R Parikh

This new(er) monitor is set to generate when the registry key "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft
Operations Manager\3.0\Setup" is found on a 64-bit Windows server. We have several alerts like this as well, but found it had little to do with the CU1 patch and
more to do with rolling out the updated Operations Manager management pack (v6.1.7599.0) at around the same time as well as the server having had a 32-bit agent previously installed at one point or another. We are looking into simply removing the 32-bit
key, but have not done so just yet as we need to test this theory on a dev server first. Of course, to be safe, we could always uninstall the agent and patch, delete the keys manually, and then reinstall.
Hope that helps.
