[SOLVED] Default applications, Econnman, and Broken Audio.

I have recently installed Arch Linux, and I need quite a bit of help.
I need econnman, seeing as how I chose to use enlightenment17, but "sudo pacman -S econnman" doesn't work, as it says it can't find the package.
Also, audio is not working. Need some help with that too.
I would really like some help here, seeing as how it took me an hour just to register (due to the spambot command line not working).
--EDIT--
Now the only problem I have left is broken audio, and I don't know why.
----EDIT----
Fixed everything. The forums provided nearly no use, and the wiki is extremely difficult to navigate.
I do love arch linux though, and once you learn your way around everything (like the wiki), you can do nearly anything.

Pray tell, why??
Browse on over to https://aur.archlinux.org/.  Click on the packages link.  Then, search for econnman.
You should find the package for which you search: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/econnman/.
Click on it, download the tarball, unpack it, change directory to it, and do a makepkg -- All in accordance with the Wiki.
But, it is not that easy.  You will have several dependencies you will need to resolve first.
ewaller$@$odin ~ 1002 %cd econnman
ewaller$@$odin ~/econnman 1003 %pwd
/home/ewaller/econnman
ewaller$@$odin ~/econnman 1004 %ls
PKGBUILD
ewaller$@$odin ~/econnman 1005 %makepkg
==> Making package: econnman 1-1 (Sun Sep 29 20:10:34 PDT 2013)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Missing dependencies:

-> python2-edje
-> python2-ecore
-> connman
==> Checking buildtime dependencies...
==> ERROR: Could not resolve all dependencies.
ewaller$@$odin ~/econnman [1]1006 %
So, I am going to suggest something with which many of my colleagues will not agree.  Look in the wiki for AUR helpers.  I like packer.  Packer is in the AUR.

  • [Solved] Default application right-click menus (Openbox)

    Hi, I am wondering how to edit the look of the default "right-click" menu for applications so that it matches my openbox root menu.  I want to do simple things, like take the icons out, and change the highlight color.  I've been doing a lot of digging (rc.xml, themerc, obtheme, google, etc)  and am just getting nowhere, but I'm wasting a ton of time looking, and feel like the answer is right under my nose. It seems like it's a "per app" sort of thing, where apps are unaffected by the ob theme.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Last edited by oktorok (2014-07-06 23:41:03)

    The openbox themes only affect elements that are controlled by the window manager.  Popup menus that come up in some applications when your right click are not controlled by the window manager - they are a component of a widget toolkit.  This would most likely be gtk or qt.  If it is gtk, you can edit your gtkrc or use a tool like lxappearance.

  • [Solved] glibc-Update-fail and broken system when using custom kernel

    I had a similar issue with the glibc-update as described in several threads.
    I guess, the reason why I ran into the problem was that I'm using a custom-built kernel. So the kernel modules (drivers etc.) under /lib/modules/custom-kernel/ are owned by no pacman package.
    At my system, after upgrating via
    # pacman -Syu --ignore glibc
    # pacman -Su
    The upgrade failed and  /lib/modules/ and the files, owned by the glibc-package remained at the still existing directory /lib.
    Rebooting the computer in this situation causes a sytem freeze.
    Now, here is my sucessful repair, briefly described. Maybe it will help someone:
    1. Booting the computer with the Arch Linux net Install image
    2. mounting my root partition manually at /mnt
    3. performing the following commands:
    # cd /mnt
    # cp -ar lib/* usr/lib/
    # rm -rf lib
    # ln -s usr/lib lib
    7. removing net install image and rebooting the computer
    ==> the system works again, but:
    # pacman -Su
    still produces error messages like:
    error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
    glibc: /lib exists in filesystem
    glibc: /usr/lib/ld-2.16.so exists in filesystem
    glibc: /usr/lib/ld-linux.so.2 exists in filesystem
    glibc: /usr/lib/libBrokenLocale-2.16.so exists in filesystem
    glibc: /usr/lib/libBrokenLocale.so.1 exists in filesystem
    Now at the last step I did is, what the wiki is seriosly discouraging from I use --force:
    # pacman -f -Su
    After that my system was repaired
    I think using force at that point is OK, because the files will only be replaced which are already moved to the right location.

    If you use a custom-built kernel you should really package it up so you can easily avoid this sort of thing just by repackaging.

  • [SOLVED] Default audio device no longer works after reboot

    After today's reboot, the audio device no longer works. E.g., VLC says:
    Audio output failed:
    The audio device "default" could not be used:
    No such file or directory.
    This is the console log:

    [0x7fac180069c8] main audio output error: no suitable audio output module
    [0x7fac41055118] main decoder error: failed to create audio output
    The strange thing is that the sound card does in fact work; e.g. the sound test for "HDA Intel PCH", the first entry in my KDE Audio Settings, works. But the entry "default" does not and I suppose that is also the device that VLC is complaining about.
    I've tried blacklisting the HDMI driver and switched to the other audio output modules in VLC. I've also checked I'm still member of the "audio" group.
    Edit:
    P.S. Solved this myself. I had a USB-to-MIDI adapter cable plugged in during boot, which seems to have been causing these problems. I suppose systemd thought it was a USB sound card? I was wondering why dmesg said something about USB sound when the computer doesn't have any USB sound devices. Hardware detection epic fail. Although I guess the cable counts as a MIDI device at least, so in a way it's correct.
    So it looks like I'll always have to unplug the MIDI cable before rebooting.

  • [SOLVED]epiphany, default applications

    Hi,
    after installing gimp epiphany used it as the default application for opening pdf files...very annoying,
    i worked around that with this hack:
    cp ~/.mozilla/firefox/3la1zdhr.default/mimeTypes.rdf ~/.gnome2/epiphany/mozilla/epiphany/
    looks like gnome is in the process of ripping out the firefox backend....so this will probably be solved in the future.
    but for now i would like to tell epiphany to download .nzb files to some specific dir or open it with a shell script - how do i do that?
    Last edited by metalfan (2009-02-16 23:01:53)

    I have the same problem. From what I can see, it's because gimp is listed before evince in /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache:
    grep pdf /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
    This file is generated with the update-desktop-database command. So I came up with two non-permanent solutions.
    1.  Put evince before gimp in /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache and repeat each time the update-desktop-database command is run, like when you update an application.
    OR
    2. Remove the pdf entry from MimeType line in /usr/share/applications/gimp.desktop and run update-desktop-database as root. You've got to repeat this fix whenever you update gimp.
    I hope that helps.

    Hi,
    From your description, I know you want to open SharePoint 2013 PDF files with default application.
    You could re-install your Adobe Reader, and then test this issue. Also, you can have test in another computer with Adobe Reader.
    If this issue is still exist, please refer to this article:

  • Files not supported and default applications?

    i have an imac G5 that is running Mac osx 10.4.11 my cousin gave it to me and it has a lot of files that seemingly don't work like the icon has a big red circle with a line through it and when i click it i get a popup saying ''you cannot open this application because it is not supported on this system im thinking of going down to the apple store and buying like whatever the newest os thingy is but will that work cuz i dont wanna spend money on something that wont help Plus i have some programs that when i open it its like ''there is no default application to open starcraft.exe any help? thanks

    An .exe application is for Windows so you can't use it on a Mac. Have you got the install discs? If so, try running Disk Utility from it and also, repair permissions in Disk Utility on the computer before you use the install disc. The best thing would be for you to perform an Archive and Install to clean things up.
    Let us know how you make out,

  • Default Application for .cbr and .rar Files

    Okay, I know to change the default application used for opening a file you click on "Get Info", and then "Change All". A couple of weeks ago, the default for .rar files was UnRarX, and the default for .cbr was Jomic. I used Onyx to do some clean-up (repair permissions, etc), and the default program changed. Now whenever I change the default program for either .rar or .cbr, the other changes as well. I know that a cbr is technically a rar file, just for comic books, which is why I need it to open in a different program, I can't figure out how I got it to work before, can anyone help?

  • [SOLVED] Unable to set default application to open files

    Hello,
    Whenever I try to set a default application for a file type (an avi for example) by right-clicking the file in Nautilus and choosing Open with Other Application, I can select the application (in this case VLC), check the Remember this Application checkbox  and click Open, I always get the below message:
    Could not set application as the default: Can't create user application configuration folder /root/.local/share/applications: Permission denied
    I'm not logged in as root (confirmed with "whoami") so I'm not sure why it's trying to access the root home folder.
    I'm thinking this is simply a misconfigured path statement (forgive the Windows terminology) but I'm not sure where to start looking.  Any help would be most appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply ngoonee! 
    The situation has already changed a bit.  Still being in Windows mode, I decided to try a reboot.  After rebooting I no longer get the error I was before (I wonder if it had something to do with logging in initially as root then su'ing to my user account) but the association with vlc just isn't sticking.
    I noticed though that now when I right-click on a video file I get the option to "Open with Movie Player" as well as "Open with VLC media player" (which does do what it's supposed to), which wasn't there before.  For grins I went and set the preferred multimedia app to VLC through System > Preferences > Preferred Applications, but that didn't help.
    Is there a place these preferences are stored that I might take a peek at?
