[SOLVED] how to list installed leaf packages?

What's the best way to get a list of installed packages that are not a dependency of another installed package? (leaf packages)

nevermind. I thought I had checked the pacman man, but I guess not.

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.

320/2766
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 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

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.

Welcome to the forums, mark1977. Please read our forum etiquette posting guidelines.
Note that you are supposed to help yourself as much as possible before asking for help. As karol stated there is already a bunch of topics concerning Gnome 2. Thus some search effort before posting would have been in order. Only then or if any specific problem remains unsolved open a thread, preferably of your own, and ask.

Hi,
SOLVED! Whit the right unarchiver (arkivverktyg.app) it was a walk in the park.
I unpacked the file sqldeveloper-3.2.20.09.87-macosx.gz and got a slightly bigger file sqldeveloper-3.2.20.09.87-macosx with no dmg file extension, and of course if I double click it as the instruction tells me it can´t find any asociated program to start it with.
I could not find anything in this forum how I should continue. Probably it is very simple if you are a Oracle type of person..
My set up: Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5

[Solved] How to list which DNS I am using?

Edit, solution to find which DNS you are using. Install:
sudo pacman -S dnsutils
To get the "dig" command. Then use it:
dig http://www.google.ca
And at the bottom of the output you will see
SERVER:
Which is immediately followed by the DNS you are using.
Thank you x33a.
Original post:
I'm trying to use Google DNS which are 8.8.8.8, and 8.8.4.4. I have a pure systemd installation and have the dhcpcd service unit active:
[email protected] loaded active running dhcpcd on eth0
In my /etc/dhcpcd.conf file I have the following:
# A sample configuration for dhcpcd.
# See dhcpcd.conf(5) for details.
# Inform the DHCP server of our hostname for DDNS.
hostname
# To share the DHCP lease across OSX and Windows a ClientID is needed.
# Enabling this may get a different lease than the kernel DHCP client.
# Some upstream DHCP servers may also require a ClientID, such as FRITZ!Box.
#clientid
# A list of options to request from the DHCP server.
#option domain_name_servers, domain_name, domain_search, host_name
option domain_name, domain_search, host_name
option classless_static_routes
nooption domain_name_servers
# Most distributions have NTP support.
option ntp_servers
# Respect the network MTU.
option interface_mtu
# A ServerID is required by RFC2131.
require dhcp_server_identifier
# A hook script is provided to lookup the hostname if not set by the DHCP
# server, but it should not be run by default.
nohook resolv.conf
nohook lookup-hostname
noipv4ll
With the only changes being "nooption domain_name_servers" and "nohook resolv.conf".
Then in my /etc/resolv.conf I have the nameservers:
# Generated by dhcpcd from eth0
# /etc/resolv.conf.head can replace this line
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
#nameserver 192.168.0.1
# /etc/resolv.conf.tail can replace this line
/etc/resolv.conf has had "chattr +i" done to it to make it immutable from changes.
I think I have it all set-up correctly, as in it all works, but I do not know of an explicit command to tell me exactly which DNS I am using.
Last edited by headkase (2012-10-13 14:53:54)

I switched my nameservers over to OpenDNS: http://www.opendns.com/
Because they have a test page: http://www.opendns.com/welcome/
And I got a successful result. So, to change that all I modified were the nameserver numbers in "/etc/resolv.conf". So, I assume that I configured "/etc/dhcpcd.conf" correctly. With the OpenDNS nameservers those now come up as prepopulated in namebench too. Thanks again, solved.

Cmd Line: How to list installed App Version?

Hi,
How do I list all installed applications, version, etc using a command line?
(some thing similar to the GUI-About This Mac, more info, Software, Applications). I also know ls -la /Applications.
I like to get a complete inventory of installed software using a command line.
Thanks,
Uday.

Hi
I think this command should give you what you want?
system_profiler SPApplicationsDataType
You could also use any one of these three:
system_profiler -detaiLevel level
Where 'level' would be mini, basic or full. The manual pages will have more information; man system_profiler.
To see what other options (data types) system_profiler has available issue:
system_profiler -listdatatypes

[Solved] How to list recently used windows?

I like the Unity feature where a key binding either opens or focuses an application window. With KDE I can define a keyboard shortcut which, for example, performs
wmctrl -xa emacs.Emacs || emacs
However, I'd like it to focus on the last focused window, not the first opened window. Is there a command to list all windows in the order they were recently used? (Clearly the Task Switcher gets this information from somewhere.)
Last edited by raul_l (2014-12-16 16:58:24)

The command I was looking for is
xprop -root | grep "^_NET_CLIENT_LIST_STACKING"
If anyone is interested, this script
#!/bin/bash
app=$1
workspace=$(wmctrl -d | grep '\*' | cut -d ' ' -f1)
win_list=$(wmctrl -lx | grep $app | grep " $workspace " | awk '{print $1}')
IDs=$(xprop -root|grep "^_NET_CLIENT_LIST_STACKING" | tr "," " ")
IDs=(${IDs##*#})
for (( idx=${#IDs[@]}-1 ; idx>=0 ; idx-- )) ; do
for i in $win_list; do
if [ $((i)) = $((IDs[idx])) ]; then
wmctrl -ia $i
exit 0
fi
done
done
exit 1
in conjunction with the key binding
the_above_script.sh emacs.Emacs || emacs
produces the correct Unity behavior. (How to mark this thread solved?)
EDIT: I modified the script a little bit. It turns out wmctrl and xprop use slightly different formats for displaying hexadecimal numbers.

I had an issue like this during an update several months ago. Reflector was the problem package and the existing files were owned by reflector. I think it's worth mentioning since reflector is also a python package. Anyway, iirc I simply removed and reinstalled reflector.
Unfortunately, it won't be so easy for you since pyastpi is part of a dep-chain leading to gnome-shell... looks like you're going to have to figure out how to do it the right way
