[SOLVED]GnuPG-2.1 and the pacman keyring

Sorry if this is a stupid question. Should the recommended commands listed in the Home Page advisory be performed prior to an attempted upgrade or after, or does it make any difference?
Thank you UKHippo

The problem is, people will run 'pacman-key --init' and go for tea ;P

Gnupgp, pacman-keyring -- keyserver receive failed: System error|why?

Hello, I followed the official instructions about gnugpg and the pacman keyring https://www.archlinux.org/news/gnupg-21 … n-keyring/
pacman -Syu haveged
systemctl start haveged
systemctl enable haveged
rm -fr /etc/pacman.d/gnupg
pacman-key --init
pacman-key --populate archlinux
which worked fine for the main repositories.
As I use the infinality-bundle repository I had to re-add the key for infinality but that led to that error:
# pacman-key -r 962DDE58
gpg: keyserver receive failed: System error w/o errno
==> ERROR: Remote key not fetched correctly from keyserver.
Meanwhile I know that changing the keyserver to the mit-keyserver prevents that error:
/etc/pacman.d/gnupg/gpg.conf
no-greeting
no-permission-warning
lock-never
keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu:11371
keyserver-options timeout=10
This combination of problem and solution is shared by two other users:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 6#p1482676
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 9#p1482709
So while the solution/workaround is clear, I'd like to understand why that problem appeared in the first place.
Any idea?

So it's probably not my fault? Good to know. Maybe the server was overload due to that gnupgp change?
Thanks for your answer!

[SOLVED] gnupg and gnupg2 in conflict after trying to upgrade

Hey there!
I just tried to update my system with the regular
sudo pacman -Syu
and ran into the following:
:: The following packages should be upgraded first :
pacman
:: Do you want to cancel the current operation
:: and upgrade these packages now? [Y/n] y
resolving dependencies...
warning: dependency cycle detected:
warning: udev will be installed before its util-linux dependency
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: gnupg and gnupg2 are in conflict. Remove gnupg2? [y/N] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: gcc: requires gcc-libs=4.6.2-6
if i try to upgrade my system or install any new packages i am asked to upgrade pacman which results in the error above.. hitting "y" will result in the message above, hitting "n" will just abort the update..
i found one thread with a similar issue ( https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=139229 ), but i didn't really get any further with it.. besides that i found a pastebin ( http://pastebin.com/WBgXmSqJ ) with the exact same issue, but i couldn't find any other links or references to the said pastebin on the web..
i would be happy to supply further information but i am not sure about what kind of information is useful here..
tougle
edit: after finding this thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=139412 (dealing with gcc-libs and not gnupg which i was searching for) i upgraded pacman by itself as Dav suggested.. another pacman -Syu outputs the following:
:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace gnupg2 with core/gnupg? [Y/n]
since i am not using gnupg anyway and the replacement should be due to the implementation of the keyring functionality in the latest pacman version, i am assuming i cant do any harm with that replacement? i will just postpone the update, wait for possible replies and do the update tomorrow if no warnings popped up here.. after i upgraded i will mark the thread as solved.. sorry for the thread.. it appears i have been searching in the wrong places..
edit2: as suggested by Gcool and karol i just agreed to replace gnupg2 after updating pacman by itself and, as expected, it fixed the issue nicely. thanks!

Packages sometimes get merged or split, renamed, moved from one repo to another or dropped to the AUR.
Different issues may require different approaches to solve / make sure you're doing it right. Usually it's OK to just agree to what pacman suggests.
If you're curious what happened, check one of the recent commits to the gnupg package [1] that talks about fixing a bug [2]

"The GNOME keyring manager hijacked the GnuPG agent"

I've run gpg from the command line and suddenly a dialog box appeared asking for my password: it even asked if I wanted to remember it.
Meanwhile, in my bash terminal gpg had this to say:
gpg: WARNING: The GNOME keyring manager hijacked the GnuPG agent.
gpg: WARNING: GnuPG will not work proberly - please configure that tool to not interfere with the GnuPG system!
Googling didn't help much, seems to be a new "feature"...
Any idea how can I configure the keyring manager to stay away when I'm working in bash?

I had similar situation and decided to disable gnome-keyring's ssh and gpg agents. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GN … ing_daemon
The reason is that gnome keyring is active only when you have a GUI session active, thus it does not work for headless machines or when one SSH to the machine. It is just easier for me to use "default" agents.
PS The ssh-agent and gpg-agent is a mess from usability/configuration point of view (without those ugly environment variables). I wish there was a systemd friendly implementation of these agents.
PPS The latest gnupg use "use-standard-socket' config option by default, it means one does not need to start gpg-agent and configure GPG_AGENT_INFO envvar manually. gpg will start agent for you transparently.

Hi Danny,
Per my understanding that you can't get the expect result by using the expression "=Count(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4) " to count the the TICKET_STATUS which value is 4, the result will returns the count of all the TICKET_STATUS values(206)
but not 180, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, the issue caused by you are using the count() function in the incorrect way, please modify the expression as below and have a test:
=COUNT(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4 ,1,Nothing))
or
=SUM(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS=4,1,0))
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

Preview very sluggish on MacBook Pro. Move a bar and the umbrella turns a few seconds. Any ideas? I don't want to update my iMac until this one is solved.

MacBook Pro with 4GB of memory and a 2.3 GHz Intel. No other program running other than Preview.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) on the advice of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
Paste into the window of another application.
Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal 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. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

(SOLVED) problem with dbus and pacman

For whatever silly reason, I did a 'pacman -S dbus' to make sure I had it installed and the result has really screwed up dbus. Although pacman reads it as installed, other programs don't and I can't start anything that relies on dbus (like thunar for one). Trying to start thunar for example:
thunar: error while loading shared libraries: libdbus-1.so.3: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory
Also, everytime I try to install anything I got the following error message from pacman a dozen times or so before it proceeds:
error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local//dbus/1.0.2-4/depends: no such file or directory
what happened. How do I get dbus back and working?
Last edited by b9anders (2008-01-14 10:51:40)

I might not know what happened, but maybe u can re-install base group packages from the CD and then boot back into arch linux and update from there?
I have also setup a install from within another linux OS, follow the wiki. It uses a pacman.static that is self reliant upon itself. U should not need any dependencies like dbus for that to work. Maybe u can use pacman.static to fix your problem.
Just a few ideas for you to ponder on.

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -Rh $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
The first step should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word, all lower case, with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

I was using my iPhone 5 and the screen randomly went black. I can still hear incoming calls but the screen stays black and unresponsive and stays black. My lock button stopped working last week so I can't restart the phone. What can I do to solve this?

I had an appointment this morning with Apple to try and solve the problem with my lock button ranomly not working anymore and a few hours before my appointment with the Apple store i was using my phone and my screen randomly went black and stopped working. And the p.roblem now i cant use it. I tried restarting the phone but I can't restart it due to my lock button not working so i need help with a solution on what i can do. I missed my appointment today because i could no longer use my phone and i'm now stuck using my laptop. I did also try connecting it to my MacBook but the screen was still unresponsive and black. I rescheduled my appointment to Monday to see what is wrong with my button and screen but in the meanwhile i would like to know if there is anything i can do or if i would just have to wait until monday and take it in to Apple. Any help would be really appreciated as i am phonelss for now until i take it in to Apple in a few days. Thanks.

You made a purchase and exhausted the credit on your card before it processed. All purchases are final. Contact iTunes Store support. You need to settle up before you can purchase or download anything else.

Not possible, I think. Tell Apple how you feel about this at

I see that many people have already complained about Itunes' backup encryption. I NEVER set a password for it (and the corresponding option is still unticked, as always) yet it asked me for a pwd when I upgraded my 3GS to the 5.0 OS. How to solve this?

To prevent others from reading your mail, don't give them access to your account. If others need to use your computer for some reason, set up personal accounts, or a guest account, and switch to it before allowing them access. This is the simplest, and most effective, method.
Email message files can be read as plain text in TextEdit or any word processor.
To protect your email messages from being viewed by others while in your account, you would have to lock the folder, putting it into an encrypted disk image that required a password to be opened and mounted. You would have to double-click on the image and give your password to mount it before launching Mail then unmount it as soon as you're done. My guess is that you could replace the ~/Library/Mail folder with an alias pointing to the folder on the disk image.
It may work, but it seems like a lot of unnecessary hassle.

I have an iMac4.1 and my iPhoto is very slow and the thumbnails correspond to the wrong pictures. How do I fix this? Or is my iMac too old? Will getting a new iMac solve this problem?.

I realize is only 512MB of memory but I want to make sure that a new iMac will solve this problem. Can the new iPhoto handle 10GB or more of photos? Or do I have to go to Picasa anyways in which case I can buy any computer to do that?

The model of Mac is not partcularly relevant, it's the version of the OS and iPhoto that matter.
iPhoto - since 2006 - is good for 250,000 images.

[SOLVED] How to install and run (on debian) a separate, downlevel version of firefox for the F5/firepass VPN?

(Note: my problem is similar to [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/931534?e=es&as=aaq another current problem] except that
* OP is running windows (I'm running a debian linux)
* OP is asking a more general question (how to fix?) while I'm asking for details on a proposed fix)
I'm currently running
$ lsb_release -ds
Linux Mint Debian Edition
$ cat /etc/debian_version
wheezy/sid
$ uname -rv
3.2.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Mar 4 22:48:17 UTC 2012
$ iceweasel --version
Mozilla Iceweasel 13.0.1
I'd like to continue running an uplevel iceweasel ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Corporation_software_rebranded_by_the_Debian_project which is firefox]) but apparently need to run a downlevel version in order to run a particular vendor-supplied plugin. How best to do that (i.e., with minimal performance degradation, and without affecting my package management)? Or is there another way to solve the general problem (running the F5 Network Access Plugin)? Why I ask:
My employer is giving me remote access via a SecurID token and the F5 Network Access Plugin (F5NAP). The latter is in fact a browser plugin, which seems to me an odd way to implement a VPN, but it's the only offered option. Unfortunately,
* the only browsers supported for linux are Firefox 3 and Firefox 8 (per [http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_apm/manuals/product/apm_compatibility_matrix_10_2_1.html this]--scroll to "Linux Operating Systems")
* my primary laptop runs LMDE (see above) with Iceweasel 13 (from the mozilla.debian.net repository), which I want to keep. (It's the uplevel browser, dammit !-)
So I first tried to install the F5NAP on my iceweasel, hoping it was sufficiently like the listed versions. I browsed to my employer's site, logged in using the token, and followed the link to install the plugin. Unfortunately, that failed: the xpi began running, but then quit with the message
> F5 Network Access Plugin could not be installed because it is not compatible with Iceweasel 13.0.1
Hoping for a simple workaround, I told the often-useful User Agent Switcher plugin to emulate Firefox 8, but no fix. Hence it seems like I will hafta
* install Firefox 3 or Firefox 8
* run that downlevel browser whenever I want remote access
* run the uplevel browser for everything else
This definitely seems like a kludge, so I am open to alternatives. Meanwhile I'm wondering:
# Which of the F5-supported downlevel browsers (Firefox 3 or Firefox 8) has the smaller memory footprint?
# How to install the downlevel browser so that it does not interfere with my uplevel browser's configuration, operation, and updating via debian package management?
# How to run the downlevel browser so that its operation does not interfere with my uplevel browser? I know firefox typically wants to run singleton.

@[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/user/160087 verdi]: thanks for your helpful suggestions. The "fix" (actually a kludge, but I gotta work with what F5 and my employer give me) was:
# Install/run latest Firefox 3 (despite there being [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/932269 no 64-bit version for linux]) using [https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzDAFHgIxRzKbmJDUGZqTzhfbDg this bash scriptlet].
# Create a [https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzDAFHgIxRzKQjRyQndqUTJpRXM run script] to start firefox so that one can
#* choose the appropriate profile (I was unable to set it from the script without startup error)
#* run multiple instances (I don't want 3.x firefox touching my uplevel profile)
# Run Firefox 3.x with the runner, then point it to my employer's site to install the [http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_apm/manuals/product/apm_compatibility_matrix_10_2_1.html F5 Network Access Plugin] (restarting firefox as required).
The gnome-terminal tab from which I invoke the runner spews a bazillion "wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64" errors, but the plugin runs, and I can SSH normally (though more slowly) to servers on the VLAN from another terminal tab.
