Can anyone help please?
thanks,
ps:
python-numpy was installed via "pip install numpy" instead of "pacman -S python-numpy". Could this cause any problem?

Generally it is less pain to stick to pacman only. Using anything else would mean pacman cannot know what packages certain files belong to, similar to what you ran into here.
Got it. Seems I have to reinstall my python packages from scratches again.
Thanks to all the help.
SOLVED.

Last edited by tan (2011-05-29 05:45:28)Thank God, everything is fixed now:
First, I deleted all these files, then i follows the following procedure
1. For libgexiv2 file i upgraded 'xorg-server, xorg-xinit, xorg-utils, xorg-server-utils' from pacman
# pacman -S xorg-server xorg-xinit xorg-utils xorg-server-utils
2. For libraw file i upgraded 'libraw' from pacman
# pacman -S libraw
There will be some conflicting files
After deleting some conflicting files it solves the problem and restore all the 'lib' file. -
(SOLVED)Cannot install WINE (x86_64 Arch)
Hey.
I cannot install WINE. I already enabled =multilib=, did "pacman -Syu", restarted.
sudo pacman -S wine
error: target not found: wine
I did "pacman -Scc" a few times and chose "Yes" when I was asked to clear unused Repos.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

[SOLVED] Cannot install python per instructions in Beginner's Guide.
So, the overview:
I just finished installing as per the Beginner's Guide and have logged in as root.
I've enabled a couple mirrors in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Doing NOTHING ELSE I run the following command: "pacman -Sy" python and the result:
python package not found, searching for group...
error: 'python': not found in sync db
After that I tried another suggestion I saw here on the forum: pacman -Sy and then pacman -Syy
Nothing. I thought maybe I botched something on the install, so I did it again. Same result. I cannot get pacman to install python (or ruby) or anything.
What gives?
Last edited by cult hero (2010-01-10 04:51:42)Yes. If no mirrors are uncommented a different error comes up. (no servers configured for repository)

[Solved]Cannot install any package with pacman
Hi,
today i tried a system update via pacman -Syu and i get these error messages
Konnte Datei 'curl-7.19.6-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz' nicht von ftp.archlinux.org übertragen : File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
so it seems that these files are not on the servers
i have already tried different mirrors even the archlinux.org one
Last edited by kanim (2009-08-18 09:08:19)It is fixed. You just need to be patient and wait for the mirrors to resync. As many mirrors need to resync all the repo packages, there are not enough bandwidth for all the mirrors. So it will take some time. ftp.archlinux.org is a mirror just like the other ones. The only difference is that we are the ones in charge of it.
For details on what happened, see:

[SOLVED] Cannot install 'renpy'
Hallo.
I want to install renpy. So, I downloaded 'renpy-aio' from aur. 'pyhton-renpy' and 'renpy' are outdated.
I successfully compiled them with makepkg and now I have two .pkg.tar.gz files. But when I try to install them with pacman, I receive the following error:

Well, I finally installed it. I first installed your suggestion and then I installed python-renpy-aio-6.18.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz and renpy-aio-6.18.3-1-any.pkg.tar.xz.
Pacman removed the outdated python-renpy [6.17.xxx version] and everything is ok.
After some tests to understand what was wrong, all I needed to install from the builded Aur package was:
python-renpy-aio-6.18.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
renpy-aio-6.18.3-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
and NOT renpy-allinone-6.18.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz because there was an conflict with 'renpy' package.
Problem solved. Thank you... -
[solved] cannot install pacstrap /mnt base to UEFI without internet
Hello everybody.
Today I decided to install ArchLinux because of some problems on my Linux Mint System.
On my laptop Lenovo yoga 13 while using Mint I installed Wi-Fi drivers after installation. It is not working out of the box.
There is no Ethernet port on this laptop.
In Begginer's Guide I have read that internet may be set up later. Ok, I skipped it and do next steps as in manual.
When I go to step of installing base system the following happens
# pacstrap /mnt base base-devel
Error strings are running: could not get file ... from ... Could not resolve host ...
And at the end:
Cannot synchronize any database
Cannot start request (error in boot library)
Error ==> Failed to install pakages to new root
I stopped here. Why it tries to connect to internet?
P.S. I am installing from fresh iso from 2014.05.01 via LiveUSB.
Please tell me what should I do?

Last edited by odf (2008-07-18 19:26:44)Not sure why typing 'gimp' is bringing up 'gimpshop', but anyhoo...
I just punched in 'http://mirrors.easynews.com/linux/archl … po/os/i686' into Epiphany and it 404's, so I'd assume it's down at the mo. Meantime, if you go into your mirrorlist and uncomment whichever 'Server = *' is closest to you (you could just do any of them, but the nearest ones will give you better performance) and comment out that bottom line.
All going to plan, that should sort it.

Any ideas?
Last edited by busey (2013-11-11 21:58:55)There are a number of files on your system that a package wants to provide thus causing a conflict. Aborting with warnings is the expected behavior. Now the question is: what placed the files on your system? Did you manually compile and install python2 or other packages by chance?
Let's see if any package that pacman installed owns one of those files (I'm guessing now); post the output of:
pacman -Qo /usr/include/python2.7/abstract.h
As that was your 1st post, welcome to Arch. Plz use code tags in your posts --> https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

I don't know how to search the community repository effectively as the wiki has very little information on it. When I use pacman -Ss package, the result scrolls so fast, that I only get the last screenful.
If I use <SHIFT>+<PageUp>, I can only go maybe 3 screens up before I run out of 'history'.
Is there a way of pausing (waiting for a keypress) for listings like this (ls and dir as well)?
I've tried AUR and downloaded rtorrent but it won't install no matter how I use pacman -U, either as root or user.
How can I list and find applications that can be installed?
What exact syntax should I use to install downloaded tar.gz files?
Where do I get them from? Why is this so hard?

I'm NOT giving up and I will make a perfectly functional Archlinux system. That's why I chose it, to learn. Most other distros are 'set and forget' and that wasn't for me.
Unfortunately, I'm learning about the filesystems, permissions, root/user and a pile of other stuff at the same time!
Also there were lots of problems that I solved without resorting to this forum. I only used this when something obvious just didn't work.
For example: Apps with ncurses base doesn't appear on a menu/desktop? That's a bit much to expect for a newbie to know.
As for the Wiki - There should have been a link or a quick explanation of how to use nano to alter rc.conf. I'll do it if no-one else does.
In case you're interested:
+ Setup static ip, gateway etc np! - although the worked example in the Beginner's Guide using 'banana' needs a newbie comment.
* I struck the pacman update issue very early on that caused errors updating /extra. Fixed that.
* Audio installed but no sound - Fixed by installing alsa-oss
* Errors on X11 (font path issues) - still unresolved but I've a working Lxde which I stuffed up and currently looking for a fix. (minimized windows just 'disappear' ' - I need to revert the taskbar panel to default and the config file I found on Lxde's wiki, copied and pasted into global config just made me lose my folder icons.
* No Cdrom in the filemanager? Fixed by installing HAL
+ Firefox 3.0.0.3-1 runs well
+ installed Java (Jre), Flash 10 and some extensions
+ Transmission-glt is working
+ Leafpad is working (and doesn't get installed with lxde which should be mentioned in the wiki)
+ OO3 downloaded last night (I've only got a 128k connection). It's very good.
* I can get to root while the desktop is up through a terminal, but can't get a new workspace! Lxde's Alt-F1, F2, F3 happen to remap Archlinux Alt-Fn keys. <sigh>
Frustrating bits:
Did you know that you have to press 'Q' to exit a man page? I had to swap workspaces to finish the install. Then I searched the net until I found an old 'how to' on manpages!
I'm operating the system OK, but I fear that I'm generally doing things the long way and the wrong way. I want to be able to fast-track that aspect somehow.
To Do:
I need to connect to my printer/scanner/server on a Windows XP network. Do I do this manually or via samba?
Thanks

[solved] Cannot install Evince
Hello!
I am new to Archlinux and have just recently installed it. I have a problem with getting a pdf reader though. I am trying to install Evince and when I give the command pacman -Ss evince I get the following respond:
extra/evince 2.28.1-1 (gnome-extra)
Simply a document viewer
No problem there. But when I try to install with pacman -S evince it plainly claims that it cannot find the file evince-2.28.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz from neither of the six repositories I use. But I wonder, since it is actually found with the -Ss flag it should be there, shouldn't it?

[SOLVED] Cannot install StumpWM
Hi,
I'm trying to install StumpWM with the quicklisp method according to the guide at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Stumpwm However, each time I run the "make" command I get this kind of error messages from SBCL:
Component STUMPWM not found
Package STUMPWM does not exist
It's really bizarre since I recently installed StumpWM on an Arch VM a few months ago and it worked fine.
EDIT: I have found a solution on the issues page in the github repo of stumpwm https://github.com/sabetts/stumpwm/pull/26 Basically, I ran the command:
env CL_SOURCE_REGISTRY=$PWD: sbcl --load make-image.lisp
And it compiled stumpwm succesfully.
Last edited by Spanish (2013-10-13 08:31:49)Thank God, everything is fixed now:
First, I deleted all these files, then i follows the following procedure
1. For libgexiv2 file i upgraded 'xorg-server, xorg-xinit, xorg-utils, xorg-server-utils' from pacman
# pacman -S xorg-server xorg-xinit xorg-utils xorg-server-utils
2. For libraw file i upgraded 'libraw' from pacman
# pacman -S libraw
There will be some conflicting files
After deleting some conflicting files it solves the problem and restore all the 'lib' file. -
[SOLVED] Cannot install printers!
Hello,
I tried to install a printer in my laptop, but the Printers KDE Control Module says "Print service is unavailable: Bad file descriptor". I already installed cups service, but I'm still unable to add any printers.
I'm running Arch in a Lenovo Thinkpad T420.
What can I do?
Last edited by eduardowoj (2014-02-14 12:27:20)Sorry all for the questions, I reinstalled cups and restarted the service, now it works like a charm. I'm marking this as solved.

[solved] Cannot install grub on Arch installation!
I'm trying to install Arch on my new Laptop. Almost everything works fine until I come to the point where GRUB will be installed (to the MBR). Installaton fails and I'm told to have a look on tty5 for error messages. Doing so I read:
grub> root (hd0,3)
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7
grub> setup (hd0)
Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition
grub> quit
AnyIdeas what I could do?
By the way, I'm installing the 64Bit Version 0.8 on a computer that currently runs "bad, bad Vista". I'm going to kill Vista anyway, sooner or later, but I wanted to have a try on getting them both on one computer. Might that be a problem?
Last edited by saciel (2007-06-06 00:31:15)The layout preset by the factory is the following:
sda1: some sort of windows configuration backup blabla
sda2: Vista System
then there is roughly one gigabyte of free space then
sda4: which was a preset ntfs partition for data
I decided to turn 4 in arch root partition, leaving everyting else unchanged for an instance (no additional swap/boot partition).
By the way, I tried to install Grub directly on partition 4 (it is an ext3 now), too afterwards, which failed with the same error.
