[solved] Issue about update with pacman -Syu

Everytime I update my system I get these questions. I always answer no, because I'm afraid to screw up everything. The questions are
replace iwlwifi with core/kernel26?
replace rt2x00-cvs with core/kernel26?
replace slocate with core/mlocate?
What should I do, why pacman is asking me this, and what is slocate, mlocate, rt2x00-cvs iwlwifi, core/kernel26?
Thanks a lot, I'm a newbie! I've searched for that in forum and in google, and all what I got was japanese pages, and a thing that has nothing to do with that.

edit: solved! thankyou!!!

replace iwlwifi with core/kernel26? => that's because the Intel wireless driver iwlwifi was included in the linux kernel, so you don't need it anymore.
replace rt2x00-cvs with core/kernel26? => about the same thing I think.
replace slocate with core/mlocate? => the arch devs decided to change the version of locate (a command to search files) in core.
Edit : bender02 was faster than me.

Had issue with pacman -Syu & util-linux-ng upgrade

This is mostly just a informational post in case anyone else has the same problem, or in case my problem is indicative of a pacman problem.... I hadn't been keeping on top of my upgrades for awhile, so that may be a factor.
I first upgraded pacman to the latest version, updated to use "core", then ran the full pacman -Syu .... it died halfway through because it tried to delete/move /mnt/cd and /mnt/cd was unable to be removed because it was mounted I believe... I tried to unmount it to continue, but it appears that util-linux-ng had been removed but not replaced at that point so I was missing my mount/umount commands (among others) (I'm making the assumption that whatever script was modifying /mnt/cd would have unmounted it for me if umount had been available)
here's the relevant bit of my pacman.log
(previous full sys update had been from around feb. of this year..)

seems like it's possibly unwise for pacman to remove packages it is replacing without immediately replacing them with the new one? Might it be better if replacements were treated as a single transaction or something?
thanks to bfinch for helping me figure out what was missing I was beginning to worry I'd been away so long umount had been replaced lol
andrew.

The problem is you installed the 310 nvidia drivers, these require the nvidia-utils package version 310. But that version doesn't exist in the repositories because its already up to version 313. There is a way to do it but it will require a lot of work around's involving old packages manually. You will need the nvidia-utils 310 probably have to downgrade the xserver to xorg 1.13 and the linux kernel to 3.6. Then blacklist the packages in your pacman.conf so they are not upgraded.
Alternatiy you could just install the nvidia 313 drivers in the repositories and be done with it.

Dhcpcd issues when updating my pacman

I have read the wiki, and know that we could get the issues with filesystem. However I can't get this to work correctly when doing pacman -Syu. Using the issue with the dhcpcd I tried to look for similar packages that own those files.
dhcpcd: /usr/bin/dhcpcd exists in filesystem
dhcpcd: /usr/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-run-hooks exists in filesystem
dhcpcd: /usr/lib/systemd/system/dhcpcd.service exists in filesystem
dhcpcd: /usr/lib/systemd/system/[email protected] exists in filesystem
dhcpcd: /usr/share/licenses/dhcpcd/LICENSE exists in filesystem
dhcpcd: /usr/share/man/man5/dhcpcd.conf.5.gz exists in filesystem
dhcpcd: /usr/share/man/man8/dhcpcd-run-hooks.8.gz exists in filesystem
dhcpcd: /usr/share/man/man8/dhcpcd.8.gz exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Sure it does, the fourth sentence from the link I gave:
wiki wrote:If the file is not owned by another package, rename the file which 'exists in filesystem' and re-issue the update command. If all goes well, the file may then be removed.
As for others experiencing this - no, that is not the case. Something has gone wrong on your system. Either you installed dhcpcd manually circumventing pacman, or your package database was corrupted.

[SOLVED] Big Memory Leak with Pacman - Xterm - Openbox

Hi Everyone,
I Don't know if this is the place to post this, and if not please correct me.
I've installed Arch Linux in a virtual machine HDD using VirtualBox on Linux Mint. Then I made a simple install with openbox and slim just to make some testes before putting the all thing in my laptop.
So after installing slim and openbox, i've checked free -m and he noticed me that the system was using 80mb of ram (really cool ^^). Then I start installing some apps just for test.
I start installing libreoffice like this "sudo pacman -S libreoffice", in a xterm terminal and on another xterm terminal I had the fallowing command running "watch free -m" just to see the ram usage evolution...
And then, during downloading/instalations, things became wierd... during download the ram usage start to grow up to 120mb and during instalation the ram usage start's growing more and more, to finish at 770mb !
I doesn't make any sense ! But I don't really know if this is a pacman, openbox or xterm problem :S...
Can someone give me any information about that ?
Thanks in advance !
PS : after a "sudo pacman -Scc" the ram drop at 633mb...

I'm sorry, I'm not making myself clear - my problem isn't the usage of Swap itself. I know that when RAM reaches its maximum, it uses Swap. I know that. And that's not what I'm "complaining" about.
Problem is - why does updating via pacman uses so much allocated RAM? I think there's a memory leak in here somewhere and that's what I was aiming at - I'm basically asking if it's just me or if this has happened to someone else and if it's really a problem or it has a simple explanation....
Well, pacman's memory usage depends on a particular package in question. Installing TexLive, for instance, takes a tremendous amount of RAM/swap compared to netcfg. Pacman does not simply copy files, but also executes scripts.
It is not true that swap is used when the RAM is full. The kernel decides which data in RAM is relevant and the irrelevant data goes to swap, even if you have 300mb of RAM still available. /proc/sys/vm/swappiness controls this logic.
In your atom netbook you have only 3mb in swap... this can not be the cause of a slowdown.
Thank you for your answer this make me understand more about the all thing ^^
I was just scared about a possibile memory leak, I didn't know that pacman.
Thanks in advance for all, I will marked it as Solved then !

Updating with pacman fails

I am trying to run a pacman -Syu and get the following error.
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

Is there a way around this?

Yes, it is quite unacceptable. Those lazy developers are clearly just wasting your time by not devoting enough of their spare time to pushing out packages immediately.
I'm on this forum because I've been wondering about that pacman message too.
I know where you're coming from, saying that sarcastic stuff, but unfortunately no matter how much time gets devoted, breaking stuff is still a bad thing.
I have no sympathy for someone who shows up here saying there machine has not been updated in "a long time" and then complains that packages are not available when they want them. That's not breakage, that's just PEBKAC.

Pb with "pacman -Syu"

Just a question: does anyone ever faced a problem while doing a "pacman -Syu"?
It happened several times on my box that this command froze completly my system, just after having retrieved the database for the "current" repository.
When the problem occurs, my system is nearly completly suspended. In this situation, I can't even peform a "ps -ef". It starts to display some processes and then it hangs before finishing.
Then I try to reboot, but the shutdown hangs too while trying to terminate still running processes.
Each time after a crash and a reboot, I can see from /var/log/errors the following entry:
Mar 15 18:11:05 pokemon kernel: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000
0003
Mar 15 18:11:05 pokemon kernel: *pde = 00000000
Mar 15 18:40:35 pokemon kernel: *pde = 00000000
Hum... this log is not very helpful!
Does someone already experienced the same problem?
Right now, my only hypothesis is that the problem can be linked to the libtar library used by pacman, but I'm not really sure of it.
The point is that pacman uses the 1.2.5 release, and the latest available one is now the 1.2.11, which corrects lots of bugs. So, I will made a try with it.
Anyway, I've instrumented my pacman binary with lots of "printf" everywhere in the "sync" code (especially around calls to libtar functions) to try to find out which is the instruction that generates that evil crash...
Unfortunately it does not dump a core file, it only hangs... so it's quite difficult to investigate
It occurs about once a week. It happens since the very first day I installed Arch (4 months ago). At that time, I was thinking the problem was with my kernel or something with my configuration... but I have to admit that, to date, my system never crashed, excepted during "pacman -Syu" operations...

I have the same problem
the HW config is IBM Netvista Celeron 1300
I checked dmesg and it said that it panic/ed in kjournal
then I rebuild the kernel / 2.4.20 with ac2 patch (PKGBUILD needs some tweeking)
and it seems more stable now.
It is strange that I install Arch 0.4 the day before on some other PC and it is really stable.
That PC is Intel P4 2.4 (intel board)
and I wanted to mention that install also seg/faulted many times before succed with a bare bone BASE packages.

I have this errors......my kernel version is the 2.6.21-ARCH, maybe is this the reason? How can I upgrade the kernel?
thx

check which package owns the files with 'pacman -Qo $pathtofile'
If it is now owned by a package you can safely force the package to install with 'pacman -Sf kernel26'
If the files are owned by a package then there they are conflicting and the path to follow will be different for each situation.
If you are not sure what to do post here which package (if any) owns the files.

[solved] Can find sisctrl with pacman

I'm trying to install sisctrl. I need that tool in order to use my beamer with my laptop. The thing is, I can't find it with pacman. This command gives nothing:
pacman -Ss sisctrl
When I started Googeling on this, I found this page. So, it seems to be in Pacman. Or, at least had been in pacman.
Could anyone help me out to install the on my system?
Thanks a lot anyway

It worked like a charm. I have SiSCtrl up and running.
I learned another nice feature of ArchLinux today. And I'm really starting to like it too.
Thanks a lot for the help guys!

If you didn't install a different iproute version manually (not from the official repositories), then you should do:
pacman -S iproute
and simply reinstall iproute and all should be fine.

I just saw the answer in the News. Upgrade screen first. Then upgrade ncurses. I will give that a try.

So I installed Arch Linux for the first time and its awesome. I updated Pacman and after googling I learned that you have to uncomment some servers from the mirror list. I did it and the problem was solved. Yesterday was working but today is not working. Here is the output from pacman -Syy:
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db.tar.gz' from archlinux.c3sl.ufpr.br : No address record
error: failed to update core (No address record)
error: failed retrieving file 'extra.db.tar.gz' from archlinux.c3sl.ufpr.br : No address record

I can't update the core and extra packages but kdemod is updating. That's weird. Here is my /etc/pacman.conf
# /etc/pacman.conf

# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and

All Servers from /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist are uncommented.
What Im doing wrong?

Following the wrong instructions maybe?
The Beginners guide, if that's what you followed to install had you going in the right direction.
The only mirrors that needed to be uncommented were the ones in your country.
There is also a package you could install that would rate the mirrors for you and keep the fastest six in a file to access automatically.
I don't recognize the address you have for core, but that doesn't mean it isn't a legit addy either.
I also don't see extra or the community repo in your pacman.conf.
No clue what you have done so no real clue how to fix it.
For instance:
I updated Pacman and after googling I learned that you have to uncomment some servers from the mirror list. I did it and the problem was solved.
What problem?
If you were able to update pacman, something was working.
Everything was working before the update and after the update.
Pelos seus mirrors vejo que tá no Brasil
Os mirrors da ufpr às vezes dão pau.... comente-os e use os da unicamp quando isso ocorrer...
Code:
[core]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
#Server = http://archlinux.c3sl.ufpr.br/$repo/os/x86_64
#Server = ftp://archlinux.c3sl.ufpr.br/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64
Server = ftp://ftp.las.ic.unicamp.br/pub/archlin … /os/x86_64
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[extra]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
#Server = http://archlinux.c3sl.ufpr.br/$repo/os/x86_64
#Server = ftp://archlinux.c3sl.ufpr.br/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64
Server = ftp://ftp.las.ic.unicamp.br/pub/archlin … /os/x86_64
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[community]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
#Server = http://archlinux.c3sl.ufpr.br/$repo/os/x86_64
#Server = ftp://archlinux.c3sl.ufpr.br/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64
Server = ftp://ftp.las.ic.unicamp.br/pub/archlin … /os/x86_64
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
O meu já ta comentado por causa disso, nos últimos dias ( hoje?) eles não tavam funcionando...
EDIT: é claro, utilize o repositório da sua arquitetura.... ( copie-os do /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist )
Thanks a lot. I don't know portuguese but I speak spanish so I can understand portuguese a little. Problem solved.

Issues after update with scrolling

I use the "option-mouse scroll=Zoom" quite a bit but after the update it only recognises maybe half of the time that I scroll. My option button works and if I do the standard scroll/move with out the option that works fine as well. it is only when i use it in illustrator, photoshop works fine.
thanks

Are you on a Mac?
