[SOLVED]mail command not found

What package should I install to get the mail command working?
I used it to check my cron mails but doesn't work anymore.

You want mailx or the alternative heirloom implementation (in community, I believe)

[SOLVED] startxfce4 command not found?

Greetings,
today I finally got some courage and decided to give archlinux a try on my laptop since I grew tired of ubuntu. Instalation was going fine until I decided to install xfce4. Like the wiki says, I took care of installing all of the necessary X packages, and even tried it successfully with the basic twm interface thing. However, after installing the xfce4 package through pacman, when I try to run execute startxfce4 it just gives me a "command not found" error. I've went to /usr/bin and in fact startxfce4 is not there. Any ideas what might be wrong?
EDIT: Reason for all the problems was that I forgot to actually update the system running the "pacman -Syu". I updated on the second install and when I executed xfce4 all the conflicts dissapeared.

[solved] qdbus: command not found = Netbeans can't connect to KWallet

I had a problem with Netbeans using its fallback keyring instead of KWallet.
My research showed that this happened because Netbeans wasn't able to use qdbus
exception thrown while invoking the command "[qdbus, org.kde.kwalletd, /modules/kwalletd, org.kde.KWallet.isEnabled]"
I tried to run qdbus with
qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin supportInformation
Same outcome; qdbus: command not found.
Searching for qdbus, I found it in /usr/lib/qt4/bin which obviously isn't part of $PATH.
I "solved" the issue by creating a softlink in /usr/bin/
cd /usr/bin && sudo ln -s /usr/lib/qt4/bin/qdbus qdbus
It works, both the KWin command as well as Netbean's KWallet integration, but is that how it should be done?
Haven't I rather a package missing, like qt5 or something?
Or is my standard "throw softlinks at the problem"-procedure alright here?

Thanks! That's better although it doesn't work out of the box either.
qtchooser apparently sends the applications to '/usr/lib/qt/bin/qdbus' which doesn't exist, Arch uses /usr/lib/qt4' instead
qdbus: could not exec '/usr/lib/qt/bin/qdbus': No such file or directory
So I had to link those too.
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/qt4 /usr/lib/qt
I don't know whether that's a problem with qtchooser or rather with some of my environment variables being wrong.
But anyways, linking the directories 'qt' to 'qt4' makes a whole lot more sense to me than micromanaging the paths of single binaries or libraries.
P.S. @ChemBro
Yes, using qdbus-qt4 seems to work with commands I have control over but telling applications like Netbeans to use that is a different beast, at least from a user-perspective.
Maybe the packagers can do something about that, but I don't know.

[SOLVED]pacstrab: command not found

Hey,
I'm trying to install Arch together with Windows 8.1... No problems with UEFI, since I already had Arch installed one time but had to remove it and my notebook doesn't came with preinstalled windows.
I made an ext4 partition, mounted root, established an internet connection and so on. But every time I try to run "pacstrap /mnt base base-devel" or just only "pacstrab" I receive the message:
command not found: pacstrab
What is this!? I don't know how to solve this problem... This is just weird because that is not my first Arch installation. Checksum of my .iso is correct.

'pacstrab' only was just a test in sheer desperation.
OH MY GOD. I can't be so dumb... Will test it if I really wrote pacstrab in my installtion, too.
EDIT: Please delete this... I'm so disgusting... Trying everything for a hour and I'm just too dumb to type...

[solved] gconfpkg: command not found

From my pacman output:
(11/14) upgrading fusion-icon
==> Updating icon-cache.....
/tmp/alpm_Napi2c/.INSTALL: line 32: gconfpkg: command not found
error: command failed to execute correctly
I reinstalled gconf and re-updated fusion-icon, the installation completed succesfully.
This has happened before, should I be worried?
p.s. these errors are not logged in pacman.log!

problem solved, the location of gconfpkg wasn't in PATH

I added /usr/sbin to the PATH definition in /etc/profile. Rebooted and all was working as it should

[Solved] ifconfig command not found?

I'm installing arch on Lenovo Y460 whose eth controller is broadcom adapter.
When installing basic system, I tried following
modprobe -r tg3
modprobe broadcom
modprobe tg3
/etc/rc.d/network restart
then the install program recognize eth0 fine.
After basic system installed, I did nearly the same thing, then tried
ifconfig eth0 up
But surprisingly bash complaint that "ifconfig command not found". Is there anything bad I have done? TIA.

It isn't that hard, you just need to use your brain a bit. just typing `ip` shows the list of available subcommands. For interfaces, e.g. links:
$ ip link show
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

7: tun0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UNKNOWN qlen 100

And to show addresses assigned to those links:

[SOLVED]Shutdown Command Not Found?

Don't worry. I'm not about to ask why updating my system didn't work and how I can fix it. This is about something that happened after I updated successfully. So, like I said, I ran through the commands just fine. Updating works. Then, I go to reboot running the command: sudo reboot. I get the response: sudo: reboot: command not found. Ok fine. So I run sudo shutdown -r now. Then I get this: sudo: shutdown: command not found. Same with shutdown -h now. I don't see why the update would do this but it's the only thing I can think of since it's the only thing I've done since shutdown stopped working.
EDIT: I've looked through /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin but the shutdown command is not there. So that's obviously the problem. I'm still not sure what to do about it. I figure it has something to do with the recent update and that /bin /sbin and /usr/sbin are now all symlinked.

[SOLVED]mkinitcpio command not found!??

Hello all,
I receive the following when trying to rebuild the stock kernel:
[taylor-unix@Legion Desktop]$ sudo mkinitcpio -p kernel26
sudo: mkinitcpio: command not found
[taylor-unix@Legion Desktop]$
The same error occurs even after the re-installation of 'mkinitcpio'.
I've had the same problem with 'hwdetect', regardless of whether I've reinstalled it.
I seem to have commands that do not work on this system, like 'shutdown' for example.. 'shutdown: command not found'. Perhaps I've missed installing a crucial package?
I need help..
My sincerest thanks in advance.

[SOLVED] lirc: command not found

Hello everyone,
I have an old MCE remote that i'd like to make use of. I've been trying to follow the archwiki, everything is good I installed LIRC and LIRC-utils, loaded lirc_mceusb, except for the part where I'm supposed to execute lirc for some reason I get an invalid command error even thought its installed. Am I missing something here?
archuser@archws ~ % lirc <12:32>
zsh: correct 'lirc' to 'lircd' [nyae]? n
zsh: command not found: lirc
Last edited by aluser (2011-02-26 04:22:25)

The mceusb module ships with the kernel now, so the lirc package is no longer necessary. Simple initial setup:
Install lirc-utils
Copy /usr/share/lirc/remotes/mceusb/lircd.conf.mceusb to /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
Edit /etc/rc.conf and add mceusb to the MODULES array and lircd to the DAEMONS array
Edit /etc/rc.local and add
/usr/bin/ir-keytable -p lirc
Create ~/.lircrc and edit as required
Reboot
If double keystrokes are the problem now and you have a dib0700-based dvb card installed then create /etc/modprobe.d/dvb-usb.conf containing
options dvb_usb disable_rc_polling=1
I've got a model 1039 with the colour buttons and it works fine:
$ irw
000000037ff07be8 00 Record mceusb
000000037ff07be8 01 Record mceusb
000000037ff07be9 00 Play mceusb
000000037ff07be9 01 Play mceusb
000000037ff07beb 00 Forward mceusb
000000037ff07beb 01 Forward mceusb
000000037ff07beb 02 Forward mceusb
000000037ff07bdd 00 OK mceusb
000000037ff07bdd 01 OK mceusb
000000037ff07bdd 02 OK mceusb
000000037ff07be0 00 Down mceusb
000000037ff07be0 01 Down mceusb

[SOLVED] "ip: command not found" after power failure

Hello,
After a power failure my Arch box has no network connection available. An 'ip addr' command showed me the outrageous error message :
bash: ip: command not found
How could this ever happen ? How do I recover from such an error ?
Last edited by singleton (2014-12-19 17:34:58)

I wasn't doing any system maintenance when the power failed, just some regular browsing.
Here's the output of each command :
pacman -Qk
https://bpaste.net/show/e06fb962c42c
echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/default/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl
ls -l /usr/bin/ip
ls: cannot access /usr/bin/ip: No such file or directory
pacman -Qi iproute2
error: package 'iproute2' was not found
I 'm suspecting I will need to use a fresh installation CD to get over this. Any guidance will be greatly appreciated though!

SOLVED: perlpanel command not found

hi all,
I am a bit of an Arch virgin and this is my first q. I have been setting up openbox and playing around with panels I couldn't really find one I liked. Pypanel is nice but I couldn't get the buttons to perform effects (they just sit there, no push effect or mouse hover effect). So, I just installed perlpanel from the community repo with pacman and typing perlpanel returns "command not found". It seems to have installed in /usr/local/lib/. I have all the config files, but no binary.
thanks
EDIT: Found it under /opt
