[solved] Can find sisctrl with pacman

I'm trying to install sisctrl. I need that tool in order to use my beamer with my laptop. The thing is, I can't find it with pacman. This command gives nothing:
pacman -Ss sisctrl
When I started Googeling on this, I found this page. So, it seems to be in Pacman. Or, at least had been in pacman.
Could anyone help me out to install the on my system?
Thanks a lot anyway

It worked like a charm. I have SiSCtrl up and running.
I learned another nice feature of ArchLinux today. And I'm really starting to like it too.
Thanks a lot for the help guys!

Where I can find examples with OLAP DML to update the cube cells?

Hi,
Where I can find examples with OLAP DML to update/calculate the cube measure/cells?
I would like to insert data into the cube by OLAP DML.
Regards,
TomB

Not sure about examples but this is how you should proceed
1. Limit all your dimension to the leaf level values.
lmt financialperiod to '200901'
lmt geography to 'XYZ'
lmt product to 'LAPTOP'
2. Limit your measure variable to one measure(this is applicable if you have more than one stored measure in the cube).
for 10g
lmt <cube name>prtmeasdim to '<MEASURE NAME>'
for 11g
lmt <cube name>measuredim to '<MEASURE NAME>'
3. Write into the variable.
for 10g
<cube name>prttopvar = 100 -- this variable is created for a compressed & partitioned cube. for uncompressed cube the variable name is <cube name>_stored.
Thanks

Some contacts are missing, but I can find them with the search facility

Hello,
I don't know when and how it happened (maybe when I updated to 4.0), but suddenly 75% or more of my contacts disappeared from the iPhone. There is an old back-up copy in iTunes, but it is completely outdated.
The funny thing is that if I do a serach for themissing contacts in teh Search facility of the iPhone, I find them.
Note: Since I upgraded to 4.0, all my contacts are grouped in something called "All" (that did not exist before).
Just for the record, I'm using an iPhone 3GS.
Is there any way to bring back the missing contacts (which are there, somewhere, in the iPhone, because I can find them when I do a search) into the list of contacts?
Thanks a lot,
Daniel

Couldn't it be that the iPhone has created a group called "All Contacts" that only contains "some" of the contacts? In that case, where would the other contacts be? If I create a new group, it will be empty. So I don't see how would moving contacts from teh "ALl Contacts" group to the new empty group could help.
Another problem is that at first I had only the contacts I had imported from a previous cell phone. Later on, when I thought I was making a backup of these contacts with iTunes, it imported all the info from my Outlook Contacts, 95% of which I did not want in my iPhone. But anyways, that happened long before this problem (not being able to access to all the contacts from the iPhone's Phone application and having to look for them with the iPhone's search facility).

[SOLVED] Big Memory Leak with Pacman - Xterm - Openbox

Hi Everyone,
I Don't know if this is the place to post this, and if not please correct me.
I've installed Arch Linux in a virtual machine HDD using VirtualBox on Linux Mint. Then I made a simple install with openbox and slim just to make some testes before putting the all thing in my laptop.
So after installing slim and openbox, i've checked free -m and he noticed me that the system was using 80mb of ram (really cool ^^). Then I start installing some apps just for test.
I start installing libreoffice like this "sudo pacman -S libreoffice", in a xterm terminal and on another xterm terminal I had the fallowing command running "watch free -m" just to see the ram usage evolution...
And then, during downloading/instalations, things became wierd... during download the ram usage start to grow up to 120mb and during instalation the ram usage start's growing more and more, to finish at 770mb !
I doesn't make any sense ! But I don't really know if this is a pacman, openbox or xterm problem :S...
Can someone give me any information about that ?
Thanks in advance !
PS : after a "sudo pacman -Scc" the ram drop at 633mb...

I'm sorry, I'm not making myself clear - my problem isn't the usage of Swap itself. I know that when RAM reaches its maximum, it uses Swap. I know that. And that's not what I'm "complaining" about.
Problem is - why does updating via pacman uses so much allocated RAM? I think there's a memory leak in here somewhere and that's what I was aiming at - I'm basically asking if it's just me or if this has happened to someone else and if it's really a problem or it has a simple explanation....
Well, pacman's memory usage depends on a particular package in question. Installing TexLive, for instance, takes a tremendous amount of RAM/swap compared to netcfg. Pacman does not simply copy files, but also executes scripts.
It is not true that swap is used when the RAM is full. The kernel decides which data in RAM is relevant and the irrelevant data goes to swap, even if you have 300mb of RAM still available. /proc/sys/vm/swappiness controls this logic.
In your atom netbook you have only 3mb in swap... this can not be the cause of a slowdown.
Thank you for your answer this make me understand more about the all thing ^^
I was just scared about a possibile memory leak, I didn't know that pacman.
Thanks in advance for all, I will marked it as Solved then !

In reality I couldn't print either. Not sure what really fixed it, but it seemed that adding hpoj from AUR and rebooting did it. I then readded the printer and now all works.

[solved] Issue about update with pacman -Syu

Everytime I update my system I get these questions. I always answer no, because I'm afraid to screw up everything. The questions are
replace iwlwifi with core/kernel26?
replace rt2x00-cvs with core/kernel26?
replace slocate with core/mlocate?
What should I do, why pacman is asking me this, and what is slocate, mlocate, rt2x00-cvs iwlwifi, core/kernel26?
Thanks a lot, I'm a newbie! I've searched for that in forum and in google, and all what I got was japanese pages, and a thing that has nothing to do with that.

edit: solved! thankyou!!!

replace iwlwifi with core/kernel26? => that's because the Intel wireless driver iwlwifi was included in the linux kernel, so you don't need it anymore.
replace rt2x00-cvs with core/kernel26? => about the same thing I think.
replace slocate with core/mlocate? => the arch devs decided to change the version of locate (a command to search files) in core.
Edit : bender02 was faster than me.

[solved] Can't boot with LVM and usb external disk

I successfully installed Archlinux on my first computer, using LVM on two internal Hard Drives.
I'm trying to do exactly the same on my second computer, but I got a problem: the LVM volume is not found at boot, so that the root partition can't be mounted and the boot fails.
The only difference is that, on my second computer, the second hard drive is connected through USB.
Some hints: my second computer boots perfectly with LVM and Ubuntu. Archlinux needs to be configured adequately.
I tried to add rootdelay=30 in menu.lst, but it changes nothing. Of course, in /etc/rc.conf I have USELVM="yes" and in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf I have HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata keymap lvm2 filesystems"
Thank you for helping me to keep Archlinux on my second computer!
Last edited by Achille (2008-06-29 21:59:09)

I finally solved my problem!
In the file /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, I modified the MODULES loaded:
MODULES="pata_acpi ata_generic ata_piix usbcore usb_storage uhci_hcd ehci_hcd sg scsi_mod sd_mod dm_mod"
I also add in the file /lib/initcpio/hooks/lvm2 the line /bin/sleep 10
/bin/sleep 10
msg "Scanning logical volumes..."
And finally, I ran the command:
mkinitcpio -p kernel26

[SOLVED] Can't hibernate with xfce as normal user

Until recently, I can't hibernate using xfce menu as normal user. All other operations such as poweroff, reboot, logout... works.
When I tried systemctl:
> systemctl hibernate
Failed to issue method call: Operation not supported
Failed to issue method call: Access denied
"sudo systemctl hibernate" works
All other operations also works for normal user (without sudo).
When I checked CanHibernate:
>sudo dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.login1 /org/freedesktop/login1 org.freedesktop.login1.Manager.CanHibernate
method return sender=:1.0 -> dest=:1.56 reply_serial=2
string "na"
Which is totally not true since I could hibernate as root.
CanReboot, CanShutdown... returns "true".
As expected, this doesn't work:
> dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.login1 /org/freedesktop/login1 org.freedesktop.login1.Manager.Hibernate boolean:true
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed: Operation not supported
And of course, all other operations work, which is confusing.
Package versions:

xfwm4 4.10.1-1

xfce4-power-manager 1.2.0-5
systemd 208-1

polkit 0.112-1
Any ideas what's wrong? Thanks in advance.

You might want to make sure polkit is running (not only installed) and consider switching to lxpolkit which is suggested as a lightweight alternative which will start automatically with DEs such as XFCE.
It is running. Thanks for the suggestion about lxpolkit. I'll check it out.

[Solved] Can't login with current keyboard layout and `@` in password

Hi, I'm a new arch user. I followed archwiki to install Enlightenment17. All went fine but I have a problem to login since during setup I inserted '@' in root/regular user passwords. During setup I selected the Italian layout and all seems ok, except grafical login through entrance (from aur, but I tested also kdm, with same results): password not recognized. Before asking, is not a CAPS/NUMLOCK issue since the password works using it in console login. I discovered that I can type '@' with the following combination: SHIFT+2; in an italian keybord this should print a double quote (") but in entrance (and kdm) it correponds to '@'. After login this way, the keyboard works normally (for instance using 'su'). So the problem is limited to graphical login (entrance and kdm) during which a different keyboard layout is used.
Did I miss some config file?
For the sake of clarity:
1) /etc/locale.gen has "it_IT.UTF-8 UTF-8" uncommented
2) /etc/locale.conf contains "LANG=it_IT.UTF-8"
3) /etc/vconsole.conf contains "KEYMAP=it"
4)
$ locale
LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
Thanks for any help.

cfr wrote:Have you tried specifying a variant?
I exclude a variant problem considering that in any other condition the keyboard layout is right. The system is configured for an it KEYMAP but it is obvious that in entrance/kdm is used an 'us' map. Is this hardcoded somewhere? I also tryed to comment out any entry in /etc/locale.gen except 'it_IT.UTF-8 UTF-8': still 'us' keymap in graphical login screen.
Probably a kind user with a non-us keyborad layout could create a dummy user with password containing '@' or '#' or any other special symbol to verify that this condition is reproducible, a first step for a bug report.

# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
#/dev/cdrom /media/cd auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
#/dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /media/fl auto user,noauto 0 0
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda3 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
/dev/sda4 /home ext4 defaults,noatime 0 2
resulting in the problem, that "/home" isn't accessible and "/" is mounted as new home... (and login with slim doesn't work at all)
any ideas?
thanks for your answers!

Man, my fstab seems to be really crappy I think now..
(gonna change the order immediately )
more information:
when I log in with tty1 as normal user, it says
No directory, logging in with HOME=/
"mount /home"
gives me:
mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda4 is already mounted on /home
mount failed
however, "ls /home"
gives me just the folder "lost & found" instead of my user-folder

[Solved] Recommend a package with pacman for "Command Not Found"

Is there a way to get Pacman to recommend a package name like in ubuntu, for example:
If I were to type in a terminal ifconfig and it said "Command not found"
Could Pacman recommend the package net-tools?

The pkgtools package will do this for you.
See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pkgtools for instructions on how to set it up.

[SOLVED] Can Pacman Manage My Custom Packages

I am going to make a custom build of MPlayer because I want it patched to take advantage of the Compiz Video plugin. I think I might enable a couple other options that are disabled as well. The thing I'm not sure of is how pacman will react to my package. I know I can install it with pacman, but when a new official MPlayer package is released in the repos, will it update it and override my custom package? If so, I thought it might help if I changed the package name, but then I thought that might mess up dependency tracking. For instance, if I make a custom package of which other packages rely on, will those other packages be able to see mine and list the dependency as fulfilled?
Basically I want a way for my system to see my custom package as something that can fulfill dependencies for other official packages that might rely on that particular program. But at the same time I don't want it overridden when a new official package comes out since it likely won't contain the options I want enabled. If it would give a message indicating a new version is available but not install it, that would really help. Is this possible, and what would be the best way to handle this?
