[Solved] checking for makeinfo... no

I'm trying to install stumpwm-git but it complain about installing makeinfo. I have other packages like automake installed and I tried reinstalling my kernel-headers, but I don't know how to install makeinfo.

make-info is in AUR. Hope this helps:

[SOLVED] Check for old configuration files and directories in ~/

Hello,
Since I started with Arch I tried and uninstalled a few programs and would like to check for possible left overs in ~/
I tried the "lostfiles" script, but it does not seem to check the home directory. Then I followed this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … ny_package - But using the suggested alias in my bash, it gives me the below:
$ pacman-disowned-files
[sudo] password for [my user]:
bash: -path: command not found
bash: /root: Is a directory
bash: -print: command not found
What am I doing wrong?
Regards
Martin

Hello,
ohh, I see, I need to do this (in directory where I put the script)
sh pacman-disowned -files > test.txt
That solved the usage of the commands, but it does not however list files [in the test.txt file] that do not belong to any package in my ~/ directory (I put a dummy file in my ~/ to see if it got noticed) - but it did not. So how can I list files and directories in my ~/ directory that is not put there by any package that currently is installed?
Regards

[SOLVED] Check for Dependencies

Hey, I'm trying to write a script that'll check for dependencies to install and build something. I can check to see if the file exists but that seems kind of brute force. I'm trying to use
pacman -Q
but I can't get it quite right.
Example:
DEPS="python2-setuptools git curl wget"
if ( sudo pacman -Q $DEPS >/dev/null ) ; then
echo "Deps not installed, installing now"
sudo pacman -S $DEPS
else
echo "Dependencies met."
fi
But this always returns that DEPS aren't installed and prompts to reinstall.

, but as pointed above, it's not the best approach, what exactly are you trying to accomplish?
This works, but still prompts for re-installation. I'm just trying to see if the user has those packages installed and if not then install them.

Spell checker for KWrite doesn't work [SOLVED]

How do I enable spell checking for the KDE editors, i.e. KWrite, Kate, etc? I've installed aspell via pacman, it's in /usr/bin which is in my PATH. In KWrite's Settings>Configure Editor>Plugins, there is an option "KTextEditor KDataTool Plugin: Enable data tools like thesaurus and spell check (if installed)" which I've checked. In another distro, that's how I enabled spell checking with aspell, i.e. by checking this box for the spell check plugin. But in Arch this doesn't seem to be sufficient. When I try to spell check a document in KWrite, I get this error:
"The spelling program could not be started. Please make sure you have set the correct spelling program and that it is properly configured and in your PATH."
What else do I need to do?
Robert
EDIT: Sorry, searching this forum for "spellcheck" hadn't yielded any solution but after I posted this I also searched for "spell AND check" and found the solution: I had neglected to pick Aspell as the client for spell checking in Control Center>KDE Components>Spell Checker.

Won't stop checking for mail!!! *fixed but not solved*

Hey all, my iPod touch is stuck in a weird way. It's working fine in every aspect except it will not stop "checking for mail". It's been in that mode for about 10 hours now, it isn't' receiving mail, just got the little spinning wheel and saying "checking for mail". I even have the wi-fi turned off!
It appears to be wearing my battering down much faster and I have tried everything I can think of, connected it to my mac, synced content, turned off wi-fi.
Does anyone know of anything else I can do?
Thanks in advance,
Stephen
EDIT: Forget it, tried turning it off and on and that fixed it. Sorry I didn't try that first...
Still have no idea why it happened though...

Thanks so much for your reply!
I should have also mentioned that I've deleted the account, did a reset, and even a restore (at apple's suggestion) and nothing has helped. I just finished reentering all the account info after the restore and it still has the "checking for mail wheel spinning". I have 15 iPads in this office and haven't had an issue with any of them expect this one.
It also has the "Load More Messages..." 29 messages total, 0 unread - at the bottom of the inbox, but it won't let me select it or "load" any more messages. It does send and receive emails just fine though. Slow, but fine.
Any other thoughts?!

Note that the 'checking available disk space...' is not printed without the --debug option although it doesn't look like being 'debug output'.
I don't see much disk activity after that and the pacman process uses no CPU time and the process status goes to D in `ps` (man ps says: D: Uninterruptible sleep (usually IO)).

Check for empty visa resource?

When I am developing the VI at my desk and not a the test station PC, the VISA resource name is empty.
Once the VI is moved to the test station PC, the user can select a VXI board.
How do I make sure the user has selected a VISA resource before continuing?
I can wire a Comparision to check for Empty String, and that works. But is there any method that I should use?
Solved!

Additionally, you can limit the selectable items by interface type. Right-click VISA Resource Name Control and select I/O Name Filtering.

FireFox 3.6.8 & ThunderBird 3.1.2 check for updates never connects, nor does plug-in update or get plug-ins

FireFox 3.6.8 & ThunderBird 3.1.2 check for updates never connects, nor does plug-in update or get plug-ins
I am doing several re-installs.
I installed FireFox 3.6.8 and ThunderBird 3.1.2 on a fresh install of Windows XP Home SP3 x32.
All Windows updates and IE8, etc were done first after the WinXP install.
IE8 works fine.
Firefox can connect to the internet to view webpages, but NOT do a check for a newer version.
(by going, on the main menu at the top, to Help --> Check for updates...)
Neither can Tbird.
See screenshots below.
Neither Tbird nor Firefox will complete the add-ons check nor updates nor 'Browse All Add-ons' feature.
(by going, on the main menu at the top, to Tools --> Add-ons --> Get Add-ons {upper left} or Find Updates {lower right for any of the selections})
Another computer, same 'build' (different hardware, but WinXP SP3, etc) using a connection from the same router going out to the internet works fine, so it is not an overall connection problem outside of the individually affected computer.
There is not yet any anti-virus nor firewall, etc installed that could be blocking things, except for Windows built in firewall, and there is no blocking action showing. Disabling it did not solve the issue.
6 hours of searching has not found an answer. Trying some of the search results just to see has not proven to be successful.
Thanks.

dianej,
Try this, go to tools, add-ons, extensions. if you have more than one (the latest) Java consoles, uninstall them. You only need the latest console and it should match the Java Platform in Plugins.
I had a VERY similar problem displaying weatherunderground. It would not display the pages correctly and I would get pages of errors that stated
"window.addEvent is not a function" I spent the last two hours fixing this problem. All I did was remove the 6.0.18, 6.0.19, 6.0.20 Java consoles from my 3.6.8 Firefox. After a FF restart, no more errors.
There should be more information in FF when you update Java. No one tells you that you should go in and delete the older consoles.
Good luck
Mick

I can't seem to download anything on my iTunes when I use Check for available downloads. I have preorders that I can't download cos it just says 'iTunes store temporarily unavailable' even tho when I actually go on iTunes itself it work fine..

I've been in contact with Apple support team regarding this issue. I have about 9 items available for download(preorders mostly) but it's not listed under download. When I click on Check for available download, a message with 'iTunes temporarily unavailable' appears but when I go to the iTunes store itself, its working just fine. I've already been charged twice for the same movie which Apple have kindly refunded me for one of them but I still haven't managed to download that movie yet. Apple says its a problem with my computer and given me all sort of ways to rectify the issue and still no hope. Everything else seems to work just fine including the actual iTunes store, wifi syncing and cable syncing etc. Can somebody help me with this if you know how to solve this problem or if you've had the same issue now or before?

Itunes could not check for an update to the carrier settings for your iphone. An unknown error occur (-50)

Have problem with "Check for Updates" for iTunes or accessing iTunes stores. Called Apple support locally in Singapore who couldnt help resolve the problem and was directed to helpdesk in Norway but after hours on the phone, they still could not solve the problem. They are also referring solutions from iTunes support FAQs to go through the problem I encountered. In the end, they said will escalate the matter to next level and will contact me back but they never did. Other error message include "A program caused iTunes to stop working..."
I am using a SONY Vaio with Windows 8. Current iTunes version is 11.1.3.8. Disappointed with Apple Support. I was able to do backup with itunes though. Appreciate anyone who encountered similar problem to share the solution. Thanks.

I got the same error but I think I know what's wrong with my situation. My iPhone 4 is programmed for a CDMA carrier that Apple doesn't support. I have limited ability with the phone... but I still love it.

How do I allow offline use AND check for updates if online?

I am actually not sure if this is a bug or not, as the behavior changed when I updated from 1.6u20 to u21. I have an application in a single JAR, and a JNLP file. I am testing with Windows 7 64-bit (with both the 32- and 64-bit version of the JVM installed, 1.6u20-b06 on both). The application cache is enabled. Here is my JNLP file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="us-ascii"?>
<jnlp
spec="6.0+"
codebase="http://hidden"
href="Librarian.jnlp">
<information>
    <title>Librarian</title>
    <vendor>Vendor</vendor>
    <homepage href="http://hidden"/>
    <description>Description.</description>
    <offline-allowed/>
    <shortcut online="false">
      <desktop/>
      <menu submenu="Vendor"/>
    </shortcut>
    <icon href="Librarian.gif"/>
</information>
<security>
    <all-permissions/>
</security>
<resources>
    <j2se version="1.6+"/>
    <jar href="Librarian.jar" main="true"/>
</resources>
<application-desc main-class="com.vendor.apps.librarian.Librarian"/>
</jnlp>I am observing the following behavior wrt updates and allow-offline:
When allow-offline is present:
- JWS does not download updates to the JAR file when the desktop link is clicked.
- The application can run when I disable the network connection.
- The "-offline" switch is passed to javaw in the desktop shortcut.
When allow-offline is not present:
- JWS does download JAR updates when the desktop link is clicked.
- The application can not run when I disable the network connection (HostNotFoundException).
- The "-offline" switch is not passed to javaw in the desktop shortcut.
What I want to happen is for JWS to check for updates if it can, and if it times out, instead of barfing, just go ahead and run the cached version. What I can get right now is either no updates + offline allowed, or updates + offline disallowed. However, I can obtain the behavior I want if I specify allow-offline then hand-edit the desktop shortcut and remove "-offline":
When allow-offline is present but I remove "-offline" from the desktop shortcut:
- JWS does download updates to the JAR file.
- The application can run when I disable the network connection, after a short timeout.
Now, I was under the impression that this behavior is the intended behavior of allow-offline: attempt to download update, on error, silently start the cached version instead. This does not seem to be the case. I actually wonder if this is a bug, as with 1.6u20, it seemed to download JAR updates just fine when allow-offline was specified (I had issues when the cache was disabled with 1.6u20, and so I moved to u21).
How can I make this work the way I want without having to hand edit the desktop shortcut?
Is this a bug, or am I misconfiguring (OED says this is a real word!) the application?
Is there something else I have to do to indicate that the JAR is updated besides just uploading a new version to the server?
It should be noted that I am not doing any web page magic here, I'm testing by simply downloading the JNLP file off the server and opening it. This is actually my first JWS experience and I haven't gotten to properly embedding it in a web page yet. I do not know if this is significant or not.
Thanks!
M

Well, I solved that quick. I've been staring at it for over an hour but it popped out at me as soon as I looked at my JNLP file in my post here (guess it's the red text, heh).
All I need to do is set online="true" in the shortcut, and also specify allow-offline, and all works exactly as I want it to. :-)
Perhaps it was a bug in u20 that was causing it to check for updates anyways even with an offline shortcut... I'm not sure, and I don't have it in me to test it any more at the moment.
Thanks,
M
