[SOLVED]"fontconfig conflicts with fontconfig-ubuntu" and other issues

Almost every program I have has stopped working. If I run a program from a terminal (one of the virtual terminals, gnome-terminal wont work either), they either complain about not being able to find libpng or libjpeg. I read the news posting about these and some forum posts, but none of them mentioned people having problems. What I understood from reading is that I just need to update my system.
This is where the problem lies. I cannot run "pacman -Syu" as usual. When I do, I get the following error:
fontconfig conflicts with fontconfig-ubuntu. Remove fontconfig-ubuntu?
If I answer yes, I get:
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: kdelibs: requires phonon
:: cairo-ubuntu: requires fontconfig-ubuntu>=2.6.0
:: libxft-ubuntu: requires fontconfig-ubuntu
If I answer no, I get:
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: fontconfig: conflicts with fontconfig-ubuntu
Either way, nothing is upgraded. How can I resolve this, as well as the libpng/libjpeg issue? I cleaned my cache and tried re-installing them, but it didn't help.

Alright I installed fontconfig-ubuntu from the AUR and that resolved my initial conflict. It started complaining about gtk-qt-engine and kdelibs and they weren't depended on by anything so I just removed them (I assume I can re-install them later) and now my system upgrade is underway. Hopefully things will be fixed when it finishes.
Does anyone know what caused this and whether I can avoid similar issues in the future?
It happens because you are using a modified version of fontconfig (the ubuntu one). When a new version of fontconfig reaches [extra], pacman tries to update fontconfig (because fontconfig-ubuntu provides fontconfig, and fontconfig from [extra] is newer than the version you have installed) and finds that it conflicts with fontconfig-ubuntu.
The way to go is the one that you have followed: when there is an update in fontconfig, update your fontconfig-ubuntu package to the latest in AUR (hopefully the same version as the new one in [extra], else you'll have to wait or modify the PKGBUILD) and then update the rest of the system.

X1 Carbon 2015 : Cracking sound speaker, especially with Dolby on (and other issues)

Hi all,
I just received my new X1 Carbon 2015. This is the first time I purchase a Lenovo Device after years with Dell.
Unfortunately, the sound quality is horrible, but I am not sure if this is by design of if the laptop is faulty..
The sound is very bad when it is coming from the speakers, especially the left speaker: the sound is cracking and saturating. This is especially true when the Dolby is on, and you clearly hear the problem with standard Windows event sounds (for example the sound you can hear when you adjust the volume with the slide on the sound icon next to the clock), or any warning sound.
No problem if I use an headset.
Am I alone with that issue?
Even if the device looks great, I have to say that I am overall disappointed by the laptop quality, especially regarding the cost of that device (this is the Core i7 with QHD touchscreen and 512GB PciE SSD):
- When I received it last week, the left button from the trackpad was stuck (impossible to use). I had to gently scratch the side of the trackpad button to release the button. Probably some remains of the manufacturing blocking the button.
- Then I noticed that sound issue.
- And finally yesterday, I discovered a spot on the bottom right of the screen. Not a dead pixel, but a clear spot behind the pixels, 1 square millimeter, reflecting the backlight.
Thanks
Pierre

Just had the IBM service tech at my house to replace the left speaker (I had purchased on-site service contract). He replaced it with a new one, and it now sounds normal - the distorted cracking & buzzing is gone. There appeared to be some tiny nicks or cracks on the original speaker element, which may have caused the problem.
The process was fairly painless. Lenovo had the part in stock, shipped it to a local tech, who scheduled the service call within a day.
The sound quality of course still isn't great without external speakers or headphones - these are just tiny little ultrabook speakers, after all. But at least now the sound from the built-in speakers meets my expectations, and doesn't make me cringe when I hear it. Once again enjoying my new Carbon X1...

[SOLVED]Weird conflict with official packages and aur packages

Hi. I have enchant-zemberek installed on my system. It is my package that i'm maintaining at AUR. Yesterday i tried to install poedit which depends on enchant. Weirdly altoguh enchant-zemberek provides enchant; pacman tried to remove enchant-zemberek and instead install enchant. Otherwise it won't let me install poedit. I have updated enchant-zemberek PKGBUILD and pacman let me install poedit without forcing me to install enchant. Here is what i have in my first PKGBUILD before update:
replaces=("enchant")
provides=("enchant")
conflicts=('enchant')
And after updating;
replaces=("enchant=${pkgver}")
provides=("enchant=${pkgver}")
conflicts=('enchant')
Now, i'm wondering while an AUR package have different package name than the official one why pacman tries to replace it? Why PKGBUILD needs package version in provides tag? Say, if i want to keep my own my-abc-1.0-1.i686.pkg.tar.xz but official package abc-1.1-1.i686.pkg.tar.xz released; must i keep my package only in Ignores array? Should i report this as a bug?
Last edited by tarakbumba (2011-04-07 09:52:41)

No, its not a bug. poedit depends on gtkspell which depends on enchant>=1.5.0 - your original custom enchant package did not provide any specific version of enchant, so pacman pulled in the repo package instead to satisfy the versioned dependency. As you have built your package with replaces=enchant, pacman also honours that.

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Yosemite finder crashes with previewig .txt and other files

Hello,
under Yosemite the Finder crashes with previewig .txt and other files.
Is this just my problem? Help please.
Thank you very much.
Regards.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Safari won't work with CNN Pipeline and other sites all of a sudden?

Anyone else having this same problem?

Hi QuickTimeKirk,
I have WMP version 9, as well. I do not use F4M, for many users f4mac is what helps.
I find some items work while others do not. I always get an alert about the wmp , which version it is, takes very long to load, I find it is not consistant with Safari, as seems the poster of this topic has found.

It comes with iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand, but not with Pages, Numbers and Keynote. You have to download them from the Mac App Store.
Open the Mac App Store, go to Purchases and accept all these apps, so they will be downloaded and installed free of charge.

Having trouble with social networks and connection issues

My iPad won't load any pictures on facebooks website, or the app. It will load google pictures but on Facebook they come up as a blue question mark and it also won't let me log into intagram or snapchat, it says check your network connection. Also my app store won't load. Is there anyway to fix this? I restarted my iPad multiple times and cleared all cookies and data but it didn't help.

Elite Pro, CMSS-3D not working and other issues after driver update

DElite Pro, CMSS-3D not working and other issues after driver update <font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="4">Elite Pro CMSS-3D control (on I/O console)no longer controls CMSS-3D.
The only time it works is if the original drivers are installed from the installation CD.
ANY other drivers stop the control on the Elite Pro I/O console from having any effect on CMSS-3D.
Also at one time when I cotrolled volume, CMSS-3D(original drivers), EAX and Crystalizer from the Elite Pro I/O controls then I had on screen display of said control that was being moved(on I/O console).
Now regardless of what drivers are installed, there?are no longer any on screen indicators.
The indicators looked like the ones that show when using the remote controller.
Anyone have any ideas?

Fontconfig conflicts with xfree86

Since this sync is taking a long time, I decided I'd better ask a question rather than experiment and risk having downloaded all for nothing. When I ran sync update, it asked me questions about replacing some stuff with core utils (yeah go ahead) and module-init-tools, no problem.
But then pacman tells me that font-config conflicts with xfree86. Remove xfree86? I'd kind of like xfree86; this is a desktop machine. I answered yes, just to get the update going, hoping that I might resolve stuff later. Now I'd like to know what I should do to ensure that I can still boot into X after the upgrade is done.
I ran pacman -Sy pacman first, then pacman -Syu. Now I'm working on just pacman -Su so that I don't have to download the new KDE stuff all over again. I'll be using flux when I get around to it, so I don't need the latest kde (I'll IgnorePkg it). However, I think I do need xfree86 if I want to run either fluxbox or kde... and I don't care about fontconfig, do I? How do I get around the conflict? --force?
Thanks,
Dusty

Sorry about that. I thought I'd read about the problem somewhere, but couldn't find it again. give me an F for not looking hard enough.
Guess I'll have to figure out how to connect from !kppp before I can handle this one.
