(Solved) fbsetbg: line 153: xmessage: command not found

Hello,
I'm trying to set background image for Fluxbox.
After typing fbsetbg command in xterm I get following error:
$ fbsetbg -f ~/.fluxbox/backgrounds/wallpaper.jpg
/usr/bin/fbsetbg: line 153: xmessage: command not found
The most common way to solve this (according to Internet) is to install xorg-apps, but there is no xmessage app under it.
# pacman -S xorg-apps

I installed them any way, but it didn't help. Nether the reboot.
Is there a way to fix this?

/usr/bin/fbsetbg: line 169: xmessage: command not (Solved)

I was trying to set my FluxBox background for some time and it did't work everytime..
i edit the .fluxbox/init file as said in the fluxbox dokumentation.. But nothing...
I tried to do it like this : fbsetbg night-elf-1280x.jpg
and the following message came out:
/usr/bin/fbsetbg: line 169: xmessage: command not found
That's not really normal... isn't it...
I googled a bit, but the only information i found was in chinese... so jeah...
Please help me.. What am I doing wrong

You need to install xorg-apps. xmessage is included with this package.
pacman -S xorg-apps

[SOLVED]/usr/lib/arch-tempfiles line 106: install:command not found

Hi everyone!
This is my boot.log
http://pastebin.com/1gfynhSN
It says"/usr/lib/initscripts/arch-tmpfiles:line 106: install:command not found".This is leading to problems such as dbus and network manager not being started(even manually),no shutdown option,not able to 'open' log files without sudo etc.
I think a possible reason for this is that I had messed up with symlinks.I had issued the command
sudo ln -s /bin/install /usr/bin/install
.Then I had used
cd /bin/
unlink install
Now,I find that /bin/install and /usr/bin/install does not exist.(I have deleted them!) .How can I fix this up?Any help would be appreciated.

Reinstall coreutils (or manually extract install from the package and put it in /usr/bin).

SOLVED /usr/bin/makepkg: line 552: build: command not found

I'm trying to build a custom kernel, but am receiving this error:
/usr/bin/makepkg: line 552: build: command not found
I've searched all over for a fix, but haven't had any luck, it doesn't seem to be a common error, or it's so incredibly easy to fix that noone has bothered
Thanks for any help.

It looks like you might not have patch installed. What happens when you type
pacman -Q patch
If you get an error that the patch package is not found, install base-devel.

Line 20: unrar: command not found

I'm trying to get nwn-diamond going, and when I try to build binkplayer I get the error:: line 20: unrar: command not found
So- I think I need to edit my .bashrc but like in this wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Core_Utilities
but I dont really know how to go about doing that. I need a super simple step by step to get me started on something like this.

Okay thank you for the first help, that took care of it, but a new issue is up, When it starts the build I get this error.
I do have a NWN Diamond DVD and it is in the drive- how do I make the builder look to the drive?
unzip: cannot find or open /media/dvd/Data_Shared.zip, /media/dvd/Data_Shared.zip.zip or /media/dvd/Data_Shared.zip.ZIP.

Oct 27 05:56:21 localhost OSInstaller143: installAutoFSMonitor: open failed

Hi!
After 6 hours of experimenting, disconnecting devices, formatting my hard drive (joy!) and getting nowhere, I found the problem: apparently, Leopard has trouble dealing with some characters in the volume name (in my case it was '). Rename the volume to something simple, short and with no weird characters and the Leopard will install.
And, to Apple: I'm very disappointed with the quality of the Leopard install. If a character is valid in OS X, the setup should support it!
Best regards,
IYan

1.first thing i just added the line

to the bottom of the yaourtrc file as per the wiki and ended up with the error.
/etc/yaourtrc: line 49: ExportToLocalRepository: command not found
2.after falconindy's idea i added #
#ExportToLocalRepository /var/cache/pacman/pkg-local
but now i dont see the error but then package is not getting saved in the pkg-local folder.
3.karol i tried your step,but still the packages are not saved in the pkg-local folder.
this is yaourtrc file after the edits but still packages are not saved....

I've never seen anything like this. I've tried reinstalling bash completion and make to no success. The Makefile itself is fine and functional. Other programs' bash completions seem to work just fine. Help!

It seems the problem no longer occurs. The only change that seems to have happened is a bash-completion upgrade that happened yesterday. I'm a bit disappointed to have not found the actual issue.

[solved] hostname command not found

Some months ago i've got this problem:
startx: line 127 hostname command not found
that i solved with
pacman -S net-tools
Today the problem is here again O.o
I've reinstalled net-tools and coreutils but nothing

Edit: inetutils from [testing] http://www.archlinux.org/packages/testi … inetutils/ have the hostname binary and it was removed from the [testing] net-tools http://www.archlinux.org/packages/testi … net-tools/
Packages in [core] still work the old way: net-tools provides hostname.

[solved] gconfpkg: command not found

From my pacman output:
(11/14) upgrading fusion-icon
==> Updating icon-cache.....
/tmp/alpm_Napi2c/.INSTALL: line 32: gconfpkg: command not found
error: command failed to execute correctly
I reinstalled gconf and re-updated fusion-icon, the installation completed succesfully.
This has happened before, should I be worried?
p.s. these errors are not logged in pacman.log!

problem solved, the location of gconfpkg wasn't in PATH
locate gconfpkg
/usr/sbin/gconfpkg
I added /usr/sbin to the PATH definition in /etc/profile. Rebooted and all was working as it should

Mkinitcpio err: command not found [solved]

I rebuilt fbsplash yesterday and get this error when running 'mkinitcpio -p kernel26'
-> Parsing hook: [fbsplash]
/lib/initcpio/install/fbsplash: line 90: err: command not found
Line 90 reads
err "Theme invalid or not found: '$theme'"
The maintainer of fbsplash reported that 'err' is a function in /lib/initcpio/init_functions which is part of the package mkinitcpio.
However looking through the other scripts in /lib/initcpio/install/ this is the only one which uses this command and thus the only one producing the error.
Is it not valid?

This. The 'err' function no longer exists.
http://projects.archlinux.org/mkinitcpi … 88108eb385
Yes, I have updated to the latest release of mkinitcpio in [core]. It's 0.7.2-1. And the function 'err' is still in /lib/initcpio/init_functions which is part of mkinitcpio 0.7.2-1 and used by the file /lib/initcpio/init, the hook 'net' which is also included in mkinitcpio 0.7.2-1 and by the hook 'encrypt' which is part of cryptsetup 1.3.1-2.
Just run:
grep -Rw err /lib/initcpio
And I didn't get the 'command not found' error. Nevertheless I have replaced the 'err' calls by 'error' calls in the fbsplash hook.
Btw., is there a documentation about the mkinitcpio API?
