This problem is related to the other thread, but it's not exactly the same.
xmonad-contrib (or the version haskell-xmonad-contrib) doesn't build against the libraries in [arch-haskell] right now, so there's no upgrade path. In fact, it's simply not in [arch-haskell] anymore. It can be removed and xmonad will still run, but there's no way to modify xmonad.hs with it's features.
I didn't quite undestand this whole thing, I'm quite a noob dealing with xmonad. So which features would I lose exactly when removing this package?
xmonad-contrib contains a bunch of trusted extensions for xmonad such as extra tiling and floating layouts, pretty printers for for xmobar and dzen, mouse pointer options, and a bunch more. See this for everything included:
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib
If you upgrade everything from [haskell-core] you won't be able to recompile xmonad with anything from xmonad-contrib until it gets updated. Basically, how things are now is how they're going to be until that time. But, the people that hack on xmonad are really smart and are going to update this stuff quickly, so it shouldn't take long.
**EDIT**
I should be careful on what I say as it is possible to compile only parts of xmonad-contrib. If one isn't using a particular parts of it, they don't need to be included. I have no need to rebuild xmonad right away, so I'm not in a hurry to sort out what works and what doesn't.
**EDIT 2**
Corrected repo name.

[Solved again] Updated to linux-3.10.8; Can no longer boot

Hey everyone.
So, linux-3.10.2-1 just dropped to the [testing] repos, and I got it through a standard -Syu. Along with it were upgraded libxfont, linux-headers, lirc-utils (and I installed extundelete during the same command).
Here's the relevant bit of /var/log/pacman.log:

Then, because I am on a UEFI system, I copied the initrd images and the vmlinuz image over to my ESP (just like I've done many a time before), and now the system won't boot. It doesn't throw any errors; rather, as soon as UEFI selects the entry to run, the computer just sits there (there is nothing in the logs so far as I can find).
I've booted with a live medium and I've tried regenerating the images and recopying them (the checksums of the images changed, so I figured that might do the trick), but it's still a no-go. Is there something obvious that I'm missing? Has anyone else run into this problem?
[Edit]: Though this appeared to be solved with 3.10.3, the problem appears to have returned with 3.10.8. No actual solution has been found. As with before, a new kernel has been released (3.10.9) with which this issue does not exist…
All the best,
-HG

So I added /boot to my fstab with option "auto" to not rely on the systemd-efi-generator and /boot was mounted just fine. Then I set noauto,x-systemd.automount and the autofs mount point was created as expected. Then I removed the /boot entry in fstab again and the systemd-efi-generator seems to work fine again...
I'm seriously confused right now...
btw, I did all of this mit kernel 3.9.9 booted. 3.10.2 doesn't boot on my system, it's the famous ""EFI machine randomly hangs while loading kernel" bug again. But this shouldn't have anything to do with the kernel install problem...
edit: I just realized that my "btw" is actually what OP describes. I should have read the thread completely, sorry
Either way, as far as I can see these are two separate issues. The EFI bug with the long thread that I mentioned above and the fact that /boot seems to not mount in some cases. I did some more testing regarding this, but I still have no idea what is happening. I could have sworn there was no automount point set up by systemd at some point, which would have made sense. But I can't reproduce it anymore...

SOLVED - BIOS UPDATE "SYSTEM DOES NOT CONTAIN the NECESSARY WMI SUPPORT for this VERSION of HPQflash

If you get infamous error when updating HP Portables (laptops/notebooks/ netbooks) BIOS within Windows:
"SYSTEM DOES NOT CONTAIN THE NECESSARY WMI SUPPORT FOR THIS VERSION OF HPQFLASH":
I am posting a solution found for own business laptop (HP 8540W & 8760W) so WebSearch engines index/register it in a few days - future sufferers come here and get a SOLUTION, finally. Disreagrd previous "experts" advises, they don't work 100% & pity on TechSupport folks who get HP paychecks yet don't know products their co. designs/manufactures (on deep Technical level):
Below is a SOLUTION (WORKING) !
Go into Services (Run "services.msc" or get there thru ControlPanel-->AdminTools-->), find following 2 services ==> make sure they're running, chances are they're NOT (as in my case I keep them disabled unless need running):
1) "HP Software Framework"
2) "HP Service" [no typo - a real plain name]
If not running, set Properties-->Manual and click "Start", make sure both are running.
Rerun BIOS updater, choose option for "Within Windows" or something to that effect (using HPQ/ROMpaq updater), rather than "create USB BootDisk on Key", this time it should work without the hassle of a BootDisk creation.
Should work from within Windows environment.
Notes:
a) Likely only one (1) service is responsible - namely "HP Software Framework" for HPQ Updater to fail, but doesn't hurt to reenable/restart both services.
I in fact am responding to other customers who elect to Update BIOS within Windows, perhaps oldfashioned but to me Boot Updater is more natural & always works regardless of WMI Support.
b) After done, don't forget:
*) Recheck BIOS settings - update may've added new and/or changed old, so rescan tobe sure.
**) Go BACK into Windows-->Services.msc & redisable both aforementioned Services if were originally disabled; or you're a computer Pro, you know what you're doing & like me keep all HP services disabled. The ones we got on EliteBook 8760W are pests consuming system resources, you just enable "Software Framework" when occasional issues emerge with HP softupdate (typically no issues) & redisable after use, rest of services are bloatware - some attempt to overrun Windows Wireless console, some seekout HP Networked printers (Ethernet, Wireless, but not USB), some do this & that - I study/know which one does what and decided to disable all. This is called a "minimalist" philosophy & turns your machine into a fast beast, I recently sold a very obsolete 4-year laptop which however handles 3DMCAD & complex designs/simulations, better new machines out fo a store, as new machines are loaded w/bloatware chocking down resources.
BUT nobody is requiring you to disable anything though.
The solution merely states the fact:
These 2 (or 1) services when not running halt BIOS Update "within Windows" (you can still run "BootDisk option", however, if preferred).
Simply restartung them solves your problem. Usually
Ya'll have a good day and enjoy!
===========
BELOW ARE IMPORTANT WARNINGS:
1) IF YOUR BIOS UPDATE STILL FAILS, SOME OTHER PIECE IN WMI SUPPORT IS MISSING - IN MY CASE WAS THESE 2 SERVICES, BUT THERE'S REMOTE POSSIBILITY SOMETHING ELSE MIGHT BLOCK UPDATER. DON'T WASTE TIME & CHOOSE "USB/BootDisk" options instead
2) Once BIOS updater does its job, will ask to auto-restart - let it go on & complete, it will self-shutdown (click "Next" to skip 60-second timer), then do NOT turn it on manually!, wait - it'll turn on by itself in 15 seconds, let it boot into Windows, you're done!
3) WARNING: close other apps before proceeding, be 100% sure your ACpower won't be interrupted or better yet - make sure battery is in/charged (so if ACpower accidentally disconnects, you're autoswitched onto battery) b/c power loss may result in severe damage to internal hardware. In the old days it'd result in fatal damage, these days powerloss would still result in a major repair (ROM chip corruption).
So to summarize: those 2 services I specified, are often responsible for whether HPQ/ROMpaq will or won't run.
Other causes possible, but I've not witnessed; and if so - choose BootDisk option.

Hello Ceramics.
Your ProBook is an Enterprise model. It would be a good idea to also post your question to the HP Business Boards as those forums deal specifically with that kind of product. Here is a link.
Have a great day!

[SOLVED] Windows Update not working after Cloning Hard Disk!

Lenovo T61p with Intel Turbo Memory - Cloning HDD with Advanced Format (4K Cluster) HDD
I have been beating my head against my desk for the past day trying to figure out the problems I am having.
I have a Genuine Windows 7 Ultimate Installation
I cloned my old 100GB HDD onto a 500GB HDD to increase space however after doing so I am unable to update windows, turn windows defender on, or install any Microsoft Products. I am even unable to install WindowsActivationUpdate or Microsoft Security Essentials.
I have tried many FixIt tools to no avail.
I have run SFC /SCANNOW
I have run CHKDSK
I am stumped.
****RESOLUTION****
After doing some digging I found the solution. Since I had cloned the drive, the old AHCI driver wasn't updating Windows with the correct sector size. Updating the AHCI driver with the latest from Intel solved all the issues I was having.
**Note**
Install the Lenovo Driver First -- Reboot
Lenovo Driver: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS001676
Install the AHCI Driver Manually (iaAHCI.inf - Do this in Device Manager) -- Reboot
Intel AHCI RST Driver: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=20110
***DO NOT INSTALL RST GUI IT WILL REMOVE TURBO MEMORY DRIVERS!!!***
Windows Update = Working
Windows Defender = Updating
Windows Installations = Working

I only discovered this problem a month after replacing my system HDD with an ssd Drive for a Vista sp2 Dell studio 1735 . But in my case all drivers were up to date. However this post triggered the right path to a solution. Though it is more
a workaround ... . Perhaps this will help others, an even more perhaps bring a microsoft engineer to make a small adaption to the vista windows update tool ....
So the problem seems that Windows Update checks for its datastore if the file is alined with the HDD underneath. But it seems that this check fails for an ssd with a 4K sector size.
Lucky I had another HDD in my laptop, which is required for this work around to work :-(. So the following shows the problem (and I think Windows Update does an alike test).
cd \windows\SDold\DataStore (so use cd \windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore if you didn't try the "ren" action yet as mentioned in many posts)
esentutl /g DataStore.edb -> (result) Operation terminated with error -583 (JET_errSectorSizeNotSupported, The physical sector size reported by the disk subsystem, is unsupported by ESE for a specific file type.) after 0.15 seconds.
cd D:\        (to a 512 byte sectored HDD )
esentutl /g C:\Windows\SDold\DataStore\DataStore.edb     -> (succeeds! normal verification output)
So I tried (the junction tool can be downloaded from sysinternals):
net stop cryptsvc
net stop wuauserv
robocopy /mir C:\Windows\SDold\DataStore D:\DataStore
robocopy /mir C:\Windows\system32\catroot2 D:\catroot2   (I now think this is not needed, but I started with an Technet post (and many others ...) that put me on the esentutl track... , which is also why the "net stop cryptsvc" is present.)
C:
cd ..\SoftwareDistribution
rmdir /s /q DataStore
junction DataStore D:\DataStore
cd ..\system32   ( again not sure if needed, also counts for the next 2 commands).
rmdir /s /q catroot2
junction catroot2 D:\catroot2
net start cryptsvc
net start wuauserv
And windows update worked again ! Check the C:\windows\WindowsUpdate.log
Of course this is just a workaround, but perhaps this puts another searcher on the right track. And perhaps it makes a Microsoft engineer update the responsible code ... as to be aligned on disk does not seem crucial for the databases used for this "application"
Sorry had to remove links for sysinternals and cc734083(v=ws.10).aspx (esentutl, which is a vista specific command) both Microsoft links, as Microsoft has not yet verified my account ...

[SOLVED] Since updating to Java 1.6.0_33 on my MacBook running OSX 10.6.8, websites say Java not installed in Firefox, but works in Chrome

I work for User Testing, which uses a Java-based screen recorder to make videos of people using commercial websites and offering spoken feedback on the site. Since installing the Java 1.6.0_33 update for Snow Leopard on my MacBook, the User Testing screen recorder does not recognize that Java is installed, and won't work.
If I switch to Chrome, all works smoothly. I have the latest version of Firefox, and have installed the latest updates. I have opened Java Preferences in my Utilities, and made sure that the checkbox "Enable applet plug-in and Web Start applications" is checked. I have cleared the cache and cookies in Firefox. The problem still persists.
User Testing says no other Mac users have reported the problem, and so they cannot help me. I rely on a Firefox add-on that is not available for Chrome to notify me of new User Testing jobs (which are normally claimed in seconds), so it is not practical for me to simply switch to Chrome or another browser.
Interestingly, when checking my plugins in order to fill out the information required below in this help request, I was sent to a Firefox page that says "For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Java. Please upgrade to the latest version."
When I click the link, it says that Apple supplies its own version of Java, which of course I have already installed. Guess this is the root of the problem, but how do I fix it?
EDITED TO ADD SOLUTION:
After even more Googling, I eventually stumbled on the solution. In the Firefox menu, I chose Help>Troubleshooting Information, and clicked "Show in Finder" under Application Basics. I then quit Firefox, clicked on the Profile folder, deleted the file "pluginreg.dat", and restarted Firefox. Java now shows up among my plugins, and is enabled by default. The failure of pluginreg.dat to update automatically was supposed to be an old Firefox problem that has been solved, but apparently that is not always the case.
Thank you to everyone who answered.

I read somwhere that firefox disables certain versions of java because it might give control of your computer to other malicious websites
I think you have to go to the java website and down load the version you need and enable it in firefox's prefrences
Sorry I may be a veteran in using firefox, but I know very little since I hardly had problems with mozilla untill just very recently hope this helps

[SOLVED]Pacman update fails

Hi,
Yesterday everything was working great but today it isn't anymore.
The problem
I did
pacman -Syu
Output:
sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
archlinuxfr is up to date
:: The following packages should be upgraded first :

:: Do you want to cancel the current operation
:: and upgrade these packages now? [Y/n]
So i choose Y and i get this:
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: package-query: requires pacman<3.5
:: pacman-color: requires pacman=3.4.3
What does this mean and how can I solve this?
As described here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=907659
I removed yaourt but this didn't solve the problem
Thanks in advance!

I had this same problem, and I went through the instructions as posted, but it must have removed pacman in the process. Now, I cannot update anything. I went through the stickied topic on pacman but it didn't work. I found some instructions on downloading pacman and installing it manually, but now every time I run the pacman command I get:
pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libalpm.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I googled that and none of those instructions work for me. Is there a way I can save my system?
Edit: And now my laptop has the same error preventing me from updating Pacman, what should I do to resolve that one? I would think that something in the repositories needs to be fixed and this is probably a bug, considering the home page doesn't say anything about it.
Edit 2: I did the following
sudo mv /usr/lib/liblzma.so /usr/lib/liblzma.so.0
And now pacman works, but it cannot find a single mirror that I have set up, it says "error retrieving file" on everything.
Edit 3: Nevermind, I give up. I'm going to wipe and reformat my computer. This is RIDICULOUS. I hope the same problem doesn't happen to my laptop, what is the *official* way to fix the "package-query: requires pacman<3.5" problem?

[Solved] Haskell/Xmonad Upgrade Issues

It seems that the testing version of haskell-x11-xft requires the non-testing version of haskell-x11.
Further, installing xmonad-contrib from testing seems to want to install the non-testing version of xmonad and haskell-x11-xft.
It seems to be one very large circle which I can't resolve.
So a pacman -Syu gives me:
warning: cannot resolve "haskell-x11=1.6.0.2-2", a dependency of "haskell-x11-xft"
warning: cannot resolve "haskell-x11=1.6.0.2-2", a dependency of "xmonad"

Not sure if I've done something wrong or I'm being stupid.
Last edited by Nabobalis (2013-03-14 10:22:56)

You can upgrade haskell-x11-xft and xmonad with;
# pacman -Syud --ignore haskell-x11
I too encountered what seemed to be a dependency loop, so used -d --nodeps option to skip the version check. Checking the Package repo shows that haskell-x11 is also flagged out of date, until things have been updated in the repo's you will see an error during update unless you
--ignore haskell-x11

[Solved] PKGBUILD Update for powerpanel

This is the third of five packages I'm looking at, per the original post.
The third package is aur/powerpanel (1.2.3-3). This one was a little curious; it claimed to install a binary under /usr/sbin, but the end package would have no non-'meta' files in it at all (and thus would install nothing). I believe this is due to the use of $startdir in the original PKGBUILD, though I can't be certain.
Flagged as before, but no inspection of the source as this fetches a pre-built binary from the vendor. No issues so far at my end (and hopefully none for anyone else). Of course, this means that once again, the only affected file was the PKGBUILD, for which I include updates below.
PKGBUILD.diff (to make a new PKGBUILD) -- In addition to correcting the install path, this fixes an error and several warnings noted by namcap, and also several warnings by makepkg.

A fair number of changes, but mostly straightforwards, and I did otherwise try and make as few changes as possible to the original PKGBUILD. Again, any (constructive) feedback is welcome. I will of course add a comment to the package page in AUR noting this topic.

I would try to include $pkgver in the source array, something like ${pkgver//./} to get rid of the dots. That way you only have to update the pkgver at the top on an update.
[#1285717]
Good point about the md5sums= and also about using variables in the source= (which I note a number of packages indeed do).
As it is, the maintainer has yesterday updated the PKGBUILD (using only some of the changes from the above), so I'm going to mark this thread as 'solved', but will take note of everything above for future PKGBUILDs that I write or modify (I'm sure this one won't be the last).

[solved] cannot update because of full /var partition

hello,
i have problems updating my packages, because my /var partition is full.
Total Download Size: 253.57 MiB
Total Installed Size: 1009.80 MiB
Net Upgrade Size: -1949.50 MiB

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
to solve this i tried to delete some *.tar.xz files in /var/cache/pacman/pkg, thinking they wouldnt be needed anymore as they are installed already. i could update then, but after a reboot, i had to fix it with
pacman-db-upgrade
. should i try to resize my partitions, or is there any easy solution?
thanks lizzy

What the heck were you doing in that pacman transation? 1 GB was added, and nearly 2 GB removed?
I can't help but suspect that was part of it. But in either case, you should check what is filling up /var/ as the package cache should not be a major issue. Are logs filling up? In other words, are you ignoring your computer screaming at you about some other problem?

[SOLVED] libreoffice update "failed to read path from javaldx"

I don't have java installed as I do not use it (aside from whatever is built into chromium I guess). Libreoffice started up fine before the update. I had the option checked to not use java in the gui. Now it won't load at all. Is java-runtime now a hard dependency of libreoffice-common package? Is there any way to disable it? My ~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/config/javasettings_Linux_X86_64.xml looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<java xmlns="http://openoffice.org/2004/java/framework/1.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

<userClassPath xsi:nil="true"/>
<vmParameters xsi:nil="true"/>
<jreLocations xsi:nil="true"/>
<javaInfo xsi:nil="true"/>
</java>
I am looking into other files included with "pacman -Ql libreoffice-common" but can't seem to figure it out yet.
Edit: Also I have tried "# chown -vR dodo3773:users ~/.config" per the LibreOffice wiki entry. No pacnew files or anything in /etc either.

[solved] Basket update - lost content

That solved the problem for me. Cheers.

[SOLVED]Nightly update as user

Yes, I searched but couldn't find related information. Surprising actually!
I had installed the stable Mozilla Firefox package 7.0.1, then uninstalled it and installed Nightly via AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19830
Now, updates are available but it won't let me install them( run as user). Is there anyway to do this without using yaourt/pacman but via the default firefox updater, as a user?
Using Arch x86_64 and Openbox if that matters.
Thanks!
Solved, see my post below.

1. login as root in terminal
2. see where nightly is installed.
mine is in /opt/firefox-nightly10.0a1
3. chmod -R 777 the firefox directory
4. exit, run firefox-nightly as normal and update from the Help menu.
Thanks everyone for help!
This is the best arch-hacks and simplest help I have yet found in all Arch (distros) forums. Firefox (nightly and aurora) updated as it suppose to do, without having to be the QUEEN of England (or the pope) to use pacman which "anyway" would be telling me again that keys or packages are corrupted lol ahahah;)
But I did this, as a way to update future other install as well like google-chrome for example.
sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/
This is the kind of "mark as solved" I wanna see and go for whenever I do a google search (or any search to get to the point
