Hi,
I use "packer" to install AUR packages.
How can I get a list of installed AUR packages ?
Thanks for your help

You should focus your Google searches to the forum

You can set the settings to pick only the hits from e..g the last year.

[solved] list all aur packages installed

Hi,
I'm looking a comman which list all AUR packages installed on my system. Man yaourt or man pacman don't help me (but maybe I missed something).
Is it possible to list these AUR packages ?

yaourt -Q | grep local/
Works for me. I'm sure someone will have a better solution though.

How can I install multiple packages in one time?

I use Software Update on this PowerBook to download, keep the packages and install onto my 3 Mac's.
The question is how can I install multiple packages (update stuff) in one time (as we can do with Remote Desktop)? Just to save my time from retarting the machines for every single (required) packages.
Many thanks, and happy new year.

Happy New Year Ekapon,
Instead of downloading the packages in advance,
check (Software Update default) every software you need, then choose "Install & Keep Package" from the Install menu.
This will install everything without needing to update prebindings and restart between each installation.

[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.

[SOLVED] Archiso : installing AUR packages on a live image

Hi all,
I'm quite an arch newbie, I'm trying to setup a live USB stick, with the help of archiso. My goal is to finally get an "audio oriented" system (with jack, ardour, qsampler, and so more...).
During the setup everything was working very well, until I tried to add some AUR packages to the install.
On the arch website, I found this tip, which gave me a great hope about this.
I'm not so familiar with Arch package management, but ok, I try to make a test : adding the "qsampler" AUR package. It needs "linuxsampler", "qt4", and "liblscp" as dependencies. "linuxsampler" and "qt4" are official packages, so I just have to add them to packages.both in the archiso working directory. "liblscp" is an AUR package (with no dependency); so there is 2 AUR packages to install : "liblscp", and "qsampler".
So I create a directory tree like described in the tip, download the two build packages from AUR, and for each of them I do (something) like described there :
# tar -xvf tarball_filename.tar.gz
# cd tarball_filename
# makepkg --asroot
# mv *.xz ..
# cd ..
# rm -r tarball_filename{,.tar.gz}
And then:
# repo-add customrepo.db.tar.gz *.xz
(I'm staying as root because it's red written to stay as root for the image creation. I think it's stupid, but people make stupid things when they are desesperate. Sorry I didn't take the time to test the code above again, it's only memory, but it was very similar)
I did the same for both architectures (i686 and x86_64), so that my custom repo looks like this:
~/liveusb/customrepo # ls -R
i686 x86_64
./i686:
customrepo.db customrepo.db.tar.gz liblscp-0.5.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz qsampler-0.2.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
./x86_64:
customrepo.db customrepo.db.tar.gz liblscp-0.5.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz qsampler-0.2.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
Oops... I just noticed I did wrong for i686 machines, but it doesn't matter for the moment, since I'm working on an x86_64 machine.
As explained in the tip, I add the following lines to pacman.conf (in the archiso working directory):
[customrepo]
SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
Server = file:///my/path/to/customrepo/$arch
From my point of view, at this point, the USB stick is ready to be updated:
~/liveusb # ./build.sh -v
and then (with /dev/sdf as my usb stick device):
~/liveusb # dd if=out/archlinux-2014.10.01-dual.iso of=/dev/sdf
But when I boot on the USB stick, there's no trace of qsampler (linuxsampler, however, is present).
Since it happened, I'm feeling like a lost, lonely man, on a desert island... Thinking about the "why", the "how"..., the meaning of life..., of package management... all this stuff
I'm sure I did something wrong about the "custom repository", and the main reason is I don't deeply understand all the steps about this; that's why I'm looking for help
Any idea?
Many thanks

Thank you for the reply,
I think I did a more trivial mistake :
With archiso, the packages are automatically installed, from a package list file called "packages.both", and "packages.x86_64", "packages.i686" for architecture dependent packages. But they only use common repos by default. The "'qsampler" is not in official repos (that's why I choosed this one for my question).
So, ok, I setup a common repo (with some mistakes but it was working), BUT...
I just forgot to put the package name in the packages.both file...
So, now that I did it, I just have an error about the package architecture, which I think possible to fix, just by rebuilding the common repo in a correct manner:
~/liveusb # ./build -v
warning: vlc-2.1.5-3 is up to date -- reinstalling
warning: mplayer-37224-2 is up to date -- reinstalling
error: failed to prepare transaction (package architecture is not valid)
:: package qsampler-0.2.3-1-x86_64 does not have a valid architecture
==> ERROR: Failed to install packages to new root
Trilby wrote:Also, does this need to be a static iso image - is there a reason not to just do a persistent usb install?
About the static iso image : the idea of building an iso image with all my personnal tools and config already installed on it is very pleasant to me, including the fact that you can burn it on a CD as well. The persistent acpect would be pleasant too, but in a secondary way.
While I'm writing this message I really understand a bit more about all of this, since yesterday... Sometimes, simply posting a message in forums helps you to understand your own problem, because you have to be clear and concise!

[SOLVED] can't build an AUR package while installing Arch

So I am nearly there installing Arch for the first time. And I will start with saying that I am really sorry if I missed the answer to my problem but I have had a look around the documentation and the general webz for something regarding this problem and haven't found anything.
I am trying to set my wireless connection up but I apparently need the AUR b43-firmware package installed for my Broadcom BCM4322 [14e4:432b] to be functional.
So I follow the documentation to install an AUR package, but I am stuck at the building stage as makepkg does not allow me to build if I am root, and I am root by default while installing/configuring Arch...
What should I do to build and install that package so I have a wireless connection later on?
Cheers
Last edited by chtfn (2015-03-21 14:11:12)

I am connected to the wired network, and I followed the steps to make it persistent for later, but I just wanted to go through the wireless stuff too to be extra sure I will be able to connect to the Internet later on. As it is the first time I install Arch, I am trying to be extra cautious, and having that security would make me feel more comfortable! Plus, I am keen to learn how to do those things from the command line.
Isn't there a way to switch to a normal user just for a command, and automatically reverting back to root when that action is finished? Just like sudo but the other way round

Can't install AUR packages(makepkg: invalid option '--asroot')[SOLVED]

I've been unable to install any AUR packages with either packer or yaourt since a couple days ago possibly after a system update.
For example if I try to install kodi-standalone-service:
sudo packer -S kodi-standalone-service
(Type - y, n, n)
makepkg: invalid option '--asroot'
The build failed.
This happens to all packages I tried including ones that I installed before with the same command. I installed yaourt after I started to get this error but fails just like packer. I tried running as root or normal user with same results.
In case it matters, these are the steps I used to install packer.
I am at a loss as to why it suddenly stopped working, any ideas?

I googled the error with no relevant results, then I searched the forum to make sure it wasn't solved with no relevant results returned for the search term "makepkg: invalid option '--asroot')". It's ironic that you accused me of not searching when you haven't bothered to search the error message yourself. If you had you would know the search does not return useful results until this post.
Sorry, I only searched for --asroot which brought up several relevant threads.
No big deal, but in general you shouldn't post things like "search the forum" as it's rarely helpful, and when it is the thread should probably be closed it those cases anyways...

Keeping a personal list of AUR packages

Hi,
I am not sure this is the correct section.
I am aware it is possible to vote and get notified for AUR package changes. However, that would be handy if it was possible to have a list of flagged AUR packages. That would make it easy to check at a glance which packages have been updated or their discussion have received new posts.
Would that be difficult to implement ?
Thanks a lot.

Yes, my idea which most likely will never be true on Arch, solves both of you what you say, so i dont see how you are on the other end of the spectrum.
I dont nessesarily mean yaourt to be official, but a similar function implemented in pacman would take care of it also.
This way more users submit semi-official scripts, which are first reviewed by TUs, and then uploaded to AUR, thus more people than now take part in actual development, but also the AUR is suplementary to the packages developers build. Also there are less package rebuilds as there are less binaries.
I find a great advantage to that the fact that people who would maintain scripts, would actually use the package, which is very important and would probably increase the quality of the provided application, cause that is not the case for a large number of binary packages ATM.
This of course has downsides too, most major of which probably being that the AUR will not be the same as it is now.

[SOLVED] How to properly install optionnal dependencies ?

Hi,
As stated in the title, I don't know how to install optionnal dependencies : (let's take an example)
I noticed that with libva comes two optional dependencies libva-intel-driver and libva-vdpau-driver, and as I have an intel graphic card, I would like to install libva-intel-driver.
But to keep my package tree quite clean, I would like to install it as a dependency of libva, this way, if someday I want to remove libva, libva-intel-driver will be removed too.
In the pacman manual, the option --asdeps seems to be useful to install a package as a dependency (but it doesn't seems to need to specify which package it is a dependency for).
So my question is, does this mean that libva-intel-driver will be removed when I don't need libva anymore ?
And more generally, how pacman manage dependency ?
As a matter of fact, I tried to install and then remove libva-intel-driver, but it never said that libva might need it.
tl;dr : I want to install an optionnal dependencies exactly like a regular dependencies would be installed : how could I do that ?
Edit:
the answer is here : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Us … OptDepends
Last edited by gravitezero (2012-10-10 12:04:25)

If you install it with --asdeps, which package it is a dependency for is listed in the packages info file that goes into pacman's database.
Imagine you have packages A B and C, C is a dependency of both A and B, but for whatever reason you install C first with "--asdeps", then you install A and B. If you later remove A with "pacman -R A" no dependencies will be removed, but if you use "pacman -Rsn A" A will be removed as will all of it's dependencies that are not needed by any other package. So in this case C would still not be removed as B still needs it. If you then "pacman -Rsn B" B and all it's dependencies including C would be removed.
That is how it works for normal dependencies. I don't believe optional dependencies have database entries in the "required by" field as they are not required, they are optional. So if C were only an optional dependency of A and B, it would never be removed by removing A and/or B (AFAIK).
If you install libva-intel-driver with "--asdeps" then it will likely show up in "pacman -Qdt" output. If you later install anything that has libva-intel-driver as a regular dependency, then later remove that package with "pacman -Rsn" libva-intel-driver will be taken away with it - it is doubtful you would want this. So don't install optional dependencies "--asdeps"
They are optional, you are opting for them, install them normally.
Alternately, and as a direct answer to your real question, I believe the only way to do with would be to modify the package info of libva to switch libva-intel-driver from optional to regular dependency. This would be easy to do, but I don't know if it's easy to automate, nor would it survive udates to libva, it'd have to be redone.

[Solved] Permissions issues when updating AUR package.

Hi there,
Today i was trying to update some of my AUR packages, but all I got is "Error - all files must have permissions of 644 or 755."
It isn't very clear to me, i've changed all the files/directories permissions and i'm still getting this error so I gave up, i don't know what's going on, i've doing the same package process for a while with no problems.
I can see the SRC file is compressed as root (root/root), I did a fresh Arch install three days ago to use all my hard disk drive (i was dualbooting), so I don't know if that could be the problem, I've changed my user's primary group anyways.
- https://pastebin.osuosl.org/14606/
EDIT*
I don't know why some of my backup files had 400 and 755 persmissions, i changed back to 644, i did it before... and it didn't work...
Last edited by AbaddonOrmuz (2015-01-22 21:44:53)

The source files must have 644 or 755 permissions. In your first paste, the source files have 777 permissions.
