[SOLVED] How to install aur packages using pacaur

I'm trying to install dwb-git. It installs with no problem with aura, but pacaur gives me problems. If I run pacaur as regular user it will build but will not install and will say permission denied.
If I run pacaur with sudo it will say building packages as root is a bad idea and will quit. The only other possibility I see is running it with --asroot flag which is a really bad idea.

No, I get the errors I described above.

[SOLVED] How to install AUR packages with patchname.patch

Hi all,
I'm trying to install lottanzb from the AUR and there's are a dependency called par2cmdline 0.4-13 that has a lot of nameofpatch.patch that are included in the AUR par2cmdline 0.4-13 package page that just open up to a url that shows code.
I created patch files from the code displayed in the url with a text editor and added them to the extracted LOTTANZB folder in my build directory but when I go to build the package with PKGBUILD it runs through a check sum while building and the checks don't match.
I'm obviously doing something fundamentally wrong here. Can someone direct me?
Thanks,
Last edited by bennylb0 (2010-05-28 13:30:16)

Hi, thanks for reply.
Sorry, my mistake.
I did place patch files inside the par2cmdline-0.4 folder. The only reason I created the .patch files and placed them inside par2cmdline-0.4 folder was because the PKGBUILD as well as the other 5 .patch files didn't exist inside the extracted build folder. They only place I could find them was in AUR par2cmdline-0.4 displayed as a url.
When I copied and created the PKGBUILD as it did not exist inside the extracted folder par2cmdline-0.4 folder I received the following error:-
Error autoconf.patch was not found in the build directory and is not a url. That along with 4 others do not exist in the build directory.
You can see this bellow:-

[solved] how to add aur packages

I can't seem to figure out how to install packages from aur ive looked at the official page but clearly I am doing something wrong. I am trying to set up rutorrent.
I added the yaourt but now i'm getting "yaourt" command not found.
Any help would be great.
Last edited by Arch-Hoochie (2014-10-07 14:51:04)

I frequently voice a very negative bias against yaourt - so much so that I almost feel guilty about it now that I'm a moderator (almost).
But all biases aside, if yaourt is a good tool for anyone, it is only for those who know how the aur works. It seems you are not yet familiar with the basics, so a tool like yaourt will be a great hinderance preventing any future learning.
Start out by just downloading the aur-tarballs and use makepkg to build (and even install if you'd like with makepkg -i or makepkg -si). Once you get the idea of how all the moving parts work, then you can look into a helper tool - but there are *many* beside yaourt.
The fact that many here have ranted about it over and over, yet the archlinux.fr page still advises new users to run the `pacman -Sy` command (which could very easily cause substantial problems) takes the 'almost' out of my first sentence: I am very comfortable publicly expressing my distaste for yaourt.

[SOLVED] How to update AUR packages?

Hi,
I am new to archlinux. a few days ago i installed my first application from the AUR and now I am wondering: How can i update? I believe that I have to use an AUR helper to do that. Is that correct? And which helper should i use? Any recommendations?
thanx
Last edited by turtlefox (2015-05-12 14:36:27)

ok I understand, fetch the tarball again and building it will work. (that already came to my mind actually)
However, for long-term use I kind of want a more convenient solution, so I think I will try cower.
Can anyone tell me how to install cower? At https://github.com/falconindy/cower there is only a zip-file that I can download. The zip file contains the files 'bash_completion', 'config', 'cower.c', 'Makefile', 'README.pod' and 'zsh_completion'. (sorry, but I see no option for including the files in this post) In the README however, there is no information about installation.

[SOLVED] Rebuilding all installed AUR packages

Hi guys,
before starting to hack some dirty script on my own i would like to know if there's already any program/script which looks up the list of packages, which were installed from aur: pacman -Qqm, and rebuilds/exports them?
the reason why i ask: i have several machines running on arch64 and i need 50+ built packages to serve them in the intranet.
best regards
Last edited by broken pipe (2011-12-26 20:25:12)

thx karol, i'm already using pacserve to avoid downloading packages for each machine in the network.
what i want to do is: read the output of 'pacman -Qqm' and rebuild + export the pkgs
i did a little bash script to achieve this. but i have to admit i'm not good at scripting but i gave my best improvements are welcomed
#/bin/bash
pkglist=/tmp/pkglist
builddir=/dev/shm/$(date +%F)/
exportdir=~/aurpkgbuilds
# Create builddir
if [ ! -d "$builddir" ];then mkdir $builddir
fi
# Create exportdir
if [ ! -d "$exportdir" ];then mkdir $exportdir
fi
# Getting the list of pkgs which were installed from AUR
pacman -Qqm > $pkglist
# Edit the list?
read -p "Would you like to edit the list? (y/N) " edit
if test "$edit" = "y"; then
$EDITOR $pkglist
fi
for i in $(cat $pkglist); do
cd $builddir
wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/${i}/${i}.tar.gz
tar xvfz ${i}.tar.gz
cd ${i}
makepkg -f
mv *.pkg.tar.xz "$exportdir"
done
# Clean up
read -p "Would you like to remove the builddir? (y/N) " rmbuilddir
if test "$rmbuilddir" = "y"; then

[SOLVED] how to install mingetty

$ pacman -S mingetty
error: 'mingetty': could not find or read package
so then I downloaded mingetty-1.08.tar.gz & mingetty-utf8.patch from http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13793
to my home/rich/Downloads folder. But how do I install it?
Last edited by dameunmate (2010-07-16 08:41:28)

Sorry about that, I had read a lot of the wiki but I had no idea how to install a package from the AUR. The console was very upset when I tried to install mingetty as the root user, so to install it as another user changing the permissions on each and every installation file took a long time. However I got there in the end. Thanks for your help.
For anyone who like myself is running Arch Linux and Openbox, in the end I didn't need mingetty to boot straight into X Openbox, so I've now uninstalled it. I only needed to folow the instructions in the Arch Wiki at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Start_X_at_boot (second section using etc/inittab).
Here's my etc/inittab:
# /etc/inittab
# Runlevels:
# 0 Halt
# 1(S) Single-user
# 2 Not used
# 3 Multi-user
# 4 Not used
# 5 X11
# 6 Reboot
## Only one of the following two lines can be uncommented!
# Boot to console
#id:3:initdefault:
# Boot to X11
id:5:initdefault:
rc::sysinit:/etc/rc.sysinit
rs:S1:wait:/etc/rc.single

# Example lines for starting a login manager
x:5:once:/bin/su YOUR_USERNAME_HERE -l -c "/bin/bash --login -c /usr/bin/startx >/dev/null 2>&1"
#x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon
#x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/kdm -nodaemon

# End of file
...the key is in the x:5:once:/bin/su YOUR_USERNAME_HERE -l -c "/bin/bash --login -c /usr/bin/startx >/dev/null 2>&1"
So now I just press the power button and end up in Openbox in about 50 seconds (for some reason my motherboard takes 30 seconds to get to the Grub menu, then as Arch boots it takes a good 10 seconds to get a wireless connection up). Press the power button again and it automatically shuts down! (see http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Shu … wer_Button - I don't know if this closes X properly but anyway it works)

How to install a package from a disc

i have the file sudo-1.7.2p3.tar on a disk and i need to know how to install a package from a cd, what lines do i need to type to install it?:|

If you are running as root, you can execute that command as ../../b43-fwcutter-011/b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR" wl_apsta.o and there is no need for sudo.
Btw, what wireless card is this? Have you tried searching for a pacman package for it?
To access the cd drive, use the mount command. Enter man mount to read the manual. (I assume you do not have a graphical environment set up yet.)

How to install/add packages to org.apache

thanks for you help,
shimon ;)

"install" isn't really the right word. You'll have to learn to think differently about JARs in Java. because you don't "install" them and your apps don't get access to them via the operating system. They're more like dynamic link libraries or DLLs in Windows parlance.
What you should do is figure out what a standard directory structure for all your applications will be, maybe something like this:
application
+
+------source (put your .java source files in their package structure under here)
+------lib (put your 3rd party JAF files under here)
+------classes (compile your .class files to this directory)
So in this case you'd put the POI JAR under /lib for your project. Tell Eclipse that /source is where it should expect to find all the .java file, that /class is the output directory for all compilations. Right click on the project folder, select "Properties", and add all the JARs to the build class path. Then you'll be all set with Eclipse.
Tell Eclipse that application is the root of your project. Tell

How to install multiple packages with pacman?

Hi ,
I guess it's a pretty noobish question but I wonder how to install multiple packages
that have the same prefix with Pacman.
To make myself more clear, I like to install all gstreamer packages and for that I would
like something similar to
pacman -S gstreamer10*
Is there a command that does something like this available? Found nothing in the man pages.
Maybe some tricky stuff with pipes?

sH wrote:Hi ibendiben,
thanks for your help, but I'm afraid, it does not work
I'm so sorry, my fault, I couln't test it, and made some big mistakes.
This time it's working:

[SOLVED] How to install from AUR?

Ok, I know I'm posting too many questions too fast but I'm at the last step in configuring my videocard driver to install X and I'm stranded in the middle of nowhere, sorry for too much posting.
I need to install a package from AUR but even I read the guide (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_User_Guidelines) I can't make it clear enough on how to do it so please correct me if there's anything wrong.
a. first of all, I need to download and install wget because I'm at CLI ready to configure X but I need the latest test drivers that fully support my videocard.
b. mkdir ~/myuser/build && cd ~/myuser/build
c. I need to download from here (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34773) the Tarball, PKGBUILD and all the files listed in "Files", right?
d. Once I have files downloaded all I need to do is follow the instructions in the wiki,
1. Acquire a PKGBUILD and any other required files (e.g. patches)
2. Run makepkg in the directory where the files are saved
3. Install the resulting package with pacman
Thanks for any advice!

guys,
did you ever saw that Heineken TV Ad where a woman shows her dresser-room to her fellow friends and they start screaming like (women does) crazy, and while they still screaming a lot they start to hear a somewhat identical scream from other part of the house that in fact shows up as the boyfriend/husband of the first lady showing his buddys his special fridge-room filled with green bottles?
Well, that was my *exact* impression yesterday after having KDE4 up and running with composite turned on faster than any Fluxbox system on a iCore 7, and that's the top part of the iceberg.
I think the best thing I like about Arch it's it's simplicity - besides it's speed. Okay, it may seem somewhat obscure to profane because editing configuration files is something strange to profanes, but if you have a little knowledge of GNU/Linux like myself once completed the Beginner's Guide, looking at /var/log/pacman.log and start tweaking you found yourself with a very powerfull yet easy to use, easy and fast to learn system. Arch is incredible, that's why it's gaining so much popularity, and it's community is superb.
I'm doing my first steps around it and find Yaourt a very cool tool, I love all the info it shows about installed and AUR packages and the way it colorize, very pragmatic-oriented (as Arch is).
On the other hand Packer is a swift tool to replace pacman.
Thank you guys for your kindness and time spent on this n00b, best!
