[Solved]Gnome-pacman asking to upgrade packages, that were removed

Dear Archers
I have removed from my system 'eog', 'cheese' and other gnome packages that I do not use. Today, when I tried to upgrade, it is including the removed packages also. Is it now like this? All or none?

Removed unwanted packages manually
Last edited by San2ban (2012-04-24 17:02:50)

Anyway, as usual, I have to manually remove unused packages. Earlier, only tose packages that were explicitly installed, were upgraded. Now, it is forcing me to accept all, or none

[Solved] Forcing pacman to reinstall all packages.

To avoid making myself look any stupider than necessary, I'll try and keep this short.
I ran out of space on my root partition in the middle of a pacman -Syu. This resulted in a lot of non-functioning packages. I have already successfully increased the size of the partition to about four times its old size using the Gparted LiveCD, and miraculously enough, Archlinux still boots, I still have wifi (and thus Internet access), and pacman still works. If pacman upgrades a package, it appears to start functioning again, which is nice. Now the problem.
Essentially, I would like to perform an upgrade on all packages on my system, including the ones that are up to date. This should fix them. Unfortunately, pacman -Syu (or -Syuf) only upgrades packages that appear out of date. I'm aware that I can accomplish this on a package by package basis simply using pacman -S, but I don't know of a way to obtain a list of all installed packages. How might I upgrade all the up to date ones as well?
Also, if anyone asks why my root partition was so small, the answer is some variation on the phrase "I'm an idiot".

So to answer your question, 'pacman -Q' lists installed packages. By the sounds of it, you might want to browse through the pacman manpage (it's good stuff, really!), there are a lot of nifty options you probably don't know about yet.
Also I'm guessing the excuse you're looking for is something like... "i didn't get my tacos that day"
Please feel free to shoot me down in flames if I am wrong won't this mark everything as explicitly installed? Not usre if that would be a problem or not.

I still can load to entities that were remove from Org in Enterprise 6.3.1

I had to delete entities from my application in Enteprise 6.3.1. I went to entities select the ones I needed to removed and Edit > Remove Entity. Then I went to Task > Unowned Entities > Purge Unowned Entities. After I ran a report to confirm that all my Unowned Entities. The report was empty.
I made a test and try to load data in the entities I removed. I was able to load data to does entities even I I removed them and I can't see them from the Unowned Entities report.
I extract the whole application and then open it in a text editor. I was able to find the entities in the [Entity] portion only.
Why I can't see them anywhere from the Entity module in enterprise? Is it a Bug?

I had entities that were removed from the hierarchy with jouyrnal still posted in those entities.

Gah. So It looks like the first version of the song on your iPod is the definitive version of a song (as is the case in iTunes). So in order to ensure that the version you want plays, you have to:
1. make that the only version in iTunes (or first in the file structure)
2. update Genius
3. sync your iPod
BOO. Too much work (I'm still going to do it though...)
I would really like a feature that allowed you to specify which song would be chosen (the existing rating system would seem to be easiest).
Another solution I thought of still requires a lot of work. This is assuming you prefer It would go something like this:
1. Create an directory structure at the root of your library that would prioritize tracks, such as:
a) Albums (for full length albums)
b) Collections (for best ofs etc.)
c) EPs (for singles or remix albums)
e) Live Performances
-assuming you prefer album versions over remixes over live versions, or more directly:
a) High Priority
b) Low Priority
2. Place Each Album or individual tracks in their appropriate folder.
3. Reset your iPod
4. Sync
The directory structure will intrinsically place higher priority versions on you iPod first, making them a priority version there. Pain in the...

[SOLVED] Can Pacman Manage My Custom Packages

I am going to make a custom build of MPlayer because I want it patched to take advantage of the Compiz Video plugin. I think I might enable a couple other options that are disabled as well. The thing I'm not sure of is how pacman will react to my package. I know I can install it with pacman, but when a new official MPlayer package is released in the repos, will it update it and override my custom package? If so, I thought it might help if I changed the package name, but then I thought that might mess up dependency tracking. For instance, if I make a custom package of which other packages rely on, will those other packages be able to see mine and list the dependency as fulfilled?
Basically I want a way for my system to see my custom package as something that can fulfill dependencies for other official packages that might rely on that particular program. But at the same time I don't want it overridden when a new official package comes out since it likely won't contain the options I want enabled. If it would give a message indicating a new version is available but not install it, that would really help. Is this possible, and what would be the best way to handle this?

[SOLVED] pacman fails on a package that should've been ignored anyway

Hi all,
I don't understand why the below upgrade isn't working. I exclude the kernel from my normal upgrade command as it prevents me from loading any modules until I reboot, so I typically only upgrade the kernel when I'm about to reboot.
In this case failure to upgrade the kernel is preventing the nVidia driver from being updated also, which is fine, but I don't understand why it then says it can't install 'nvidia' because 'nvidia-utils' is the wrong version - I thought 'nvidia' was going to be skipped? Why is it trying to install it anyway?
Is there a way to get around this without having to manually exclude all these packages?

Last edited by Malvineous (2012-06-17 05:23:21)

Ohhh, so you're saying it ignored nvidia, but tried to upgrade nvidia-utils. nvidia-utils requires nvidia, but nvidia needs a specific version of nvidia-utils which would be broken by upgrading nvidia-utils, so it refuses to upgrade nvidia-utils because of the existing dependency. Right.
So then the second part of my question - how can I get around this without adding nvidia-utils as an IgnorePkg? Can I tell pacman to just ignore it if the deps couldn't be satisfied and keep going with whatever's left?

Autocomplete doesn't work for packages that were just installed

After installing a program with pacman, I wasn't able to use autocomplete in bash or zsh for that program, even though I was able to run it. If I made a new terminal autocomplete worked fine, it was only in the terminal I had just used to install the application where the autocomplete didn't work. I found out after a while that I can manually run `hash -r` after installing a package to get this to work. Is there any way I could do this automatically after installing a package, or is there another way I could get autocomplete to work right after installing a package?

Does Apple plan on restoring oft-used features and functions that were removed in the latest iWork?

In Pages alone, I am sadly missing text-to-table conversions and find and replace of white-space characters, among others. I had a running list going of features I can no longer find, but after about a dozen, I just got sad looking at it and threw it away. Is there anywhere to submit these concerns? Is there any chance Apple will respond with an update that replaces lost functionality?

You can submit Pages feedback to Apple. Just don’t expect any response. As this is a voluntary, user to user support community, Apple is neither here, nor do they reveal any future product plans to us. Although Apple has released a few updates to Pages v5, it still remains substantially limited, and any timeframe or commitment as to future updates, or content, is known solely by Apple.

TS3999 How can I put my appointments that were removed from my Outlook calendar to iCloud BACK on Outlook calendar?

I wanted to try iCloud, not realizing it would REMOVE my appointments from Outlook and not COPY them...I want them back in Outlook

It should, but unless you have a current backup I would not rely on it.
I know how to copy and paste in general but I'm not real familiar with doing it between calendars...I was just getting used to Outlook calendar and the installed iCloud.
Right click on an appt, from the secondary menu decide whether to move or copy to another calendar, it's easy, but slow.

[SOLVED] Did pacman -Syu and now gdm, gnome, and pacman won't work

Hi everyone, I did a search for my problem, but cannot find the solution. Basically, I updated my computer this morning and as soon as the packages got installed my computer crashed. I am using another computer right now. These were the packages that were upgraded: dbus-core, bluez, dbus, gsfonts, libcups, libgdiplus, mono, openssl.
So after I installed the packages, my screen went black with some error message (don't remember what it is now. I believe it was something about GDM not working.) So I rebooted and "rpcbind" and "File Alteration Monitor" failed. Then I got a bunch of Gdm error messages with "gdm-binary[46081]: WARNING: GdmLocalDisplayFactory: maximum number of X display failures reached: check X server log for errors" as the last message. I don't know how to check the X server log for errors so I logged in and tried pacman -Syu again. I got this error "pacman: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8: invalid ELF header." I also tried startx and gnome-session , but they both failed to work as well. It seems like I'm having a graphics error. I don't know what to do now. Any help would be appreciated.

Eivuwan wrote:Hi everyone. After some thinking, I realized that as attached as I am to Arch, I do not have as much free time as I did in the past to tinker with it. So I manually mounted my IPod and copied everything in my home folder to it. Then I installed Ubuntu. Maybe I'll come back to Arch one day, but for now, farewell. Thanks for all your help.
Wise decision -- Ubuntu is very stable (we used it extensively in my last place of business; I'm now retired). I've gone a different route, since I prefer to start small, build the environment I want and nothing more (which was my reason for choosing Arch). My preferred environment is pretty minimal -- no desktop system (no Gnome or KDE), just a window manager (dwm) and the apps I need. I did a test install in the last day or so and learned enough about Slackware (I first used it in the early 90s when it was pretty much the only Linux distribution) to convince myself that it will work for me. It's more of a pain to get the apps installed than Arch, certainly, but once you know how to do it and where to find them, it's not really a problem. But my objective is the same as yours -- get away from Arch's rolling releases. Again, as an old hand at both individual development and managing large software projects, what Arch is trying to do is difficult. Because the various components of the system are updated more or less continuously, it's impossible to thoroughly test the whole thing every time it changes. So on any particular day, you are likely to see problems, as happened to you, me, and other folks who have started threads in this category. And sometimes the problems are so severe you end up with a non-functioning system, as happened to both of us.
I would hope that, in the future, the powers-that-be at Arch would consider periodic, thoroughly tested releases, say every 6 months like Ubuntu and OpenBSD. The fundamental machinery of Arch is excellent (pacman, etc.), installation is easy, the documentation is adequate (I'm not as impressed by the wiki as others seem to be -- see the OpenBSD or FreeBSD documentation; what's available for Slackware is also very good). But I think there are tremendous quality hazards in the rolling release methodology, and forcing it on Arch's users is a bad idea, I think. It can be optional, for the adventurous. This is exactly how the OpenBSD people operate. There's a release every 6 months that is invariably rock solid. If they find problems after the release, they will make changes on a STABLE cvs branch. But you can also, if you choose, run what is on the cvs trunk, which they designate CURRENT, if you are so inclined and willing to take the chance on less thoroughly tested code. This is more or less equivalent to Arch now. I'm suggesting that Arch consider adding a STABLE version.

...I answered YES, and packages were downloaded, but failed to upgrade, displaying the following multiple times:

Pacman gets stuck Synchronizing package databases

I've made sure that I have uncommented mirrors and the like-- all these things worked just fine the last time I ran -Syu, a couple days ago. I've changed no proxy settings in the meantime, so I don't see how that can be the issue.
Any ideas?

Thanks, that did it. I'm used to getting some sort of message when the mirror doesn't work. How come that didn't happen?

[SOLVED]Built pacman in Debian, getting 'error invoking external downl

Hi, I've built pacman in Debian and now whenever I try to run any pacman command involving repositories, I get 'error invoking external downloader'. I've configured repositories, but I feel like the problem is with libfetch. I could only build libdownload which is a fork of libfetch.
Here is the output of 'pacman -Syv --verbose':

My pacman is version v.3.5.4 and libalpm v.6.0.4
Thanks for any help again!

libdownload is our ancient fork of libfetch -- do not use it. It's not even the same library, and it required buildsys changes to use. Honestly, I don't recommend libfetch either. Looks to me like you didn't build pacman with internal downloader support at all.
You won't find a tarball of libfetch anywhere because its part of NetBSD core. Arch keeps a snapshot, which you can download.
Regardless, I suggest looking at our PKGBUILDs for sane build time options: 4.0.1, 3.5.4

Where does Snow Leo download the upgrade packages?

The software-upgrade function starts automatically in my osx 10.6, it downloads all the upgrade packages but before installing them, it asks me if I want to install all of them or few of them. Last time, I wanted to install only few of them. Now my question is: where did Snow Leopard download the rest of the upgrade packages that I didn't install? Can I delete them?
Thanks a lot for your answers.

Software Update will always download the updates to /Library/Updates. That is the Library folder at the root of your hard drive.
There is an option in SU to have it automatically download updates in the background. In this case, all updates may already be downloaded by the time you see them listed in SU. Downloading and installing are two distinct processes. Just because SU downloads an update, it will not install the updates until you tell it to.
There is also an option to not have SU download the updates in the background. In this case, when SU notifies you that there is an update available, it will first have to download the software before it can install it. Again, the download will be temporarily placed in the /Library/Updates directory.
