[solved] pacman 4 hangs after "checking for file conflicts"

Like others, I removed yaourt and package-query because they conflicted with pacman4... not worried about that, I'll reinstall them later.
I put the new pacman.conf in place (my old one wasn't really customized). I left SigLevel = Never.
Now, I can run pacman -Sy fine, but if I try to install anything, I it just hangs:

Suggestions?

Note that the 'checking available disk space...' is not printed without the --debug option although it doesn't look like being 'debug output'.
I don't see much disk activity after that and the pacman process uses no CPU time and the process status goes to D in `ps` (man ps says: D: Uninterruptible sleep (usually IO)).

[solved] "pacman -Syu" hangs after "checking for file conflicts"

This is my third attempt. I let it run yesterday for 20 hours on the theory that maybe it was actually doing something. It always completes "checking for file conflicts" but never goes any further.
Does anyone have any suggestions how to get it to continue?

Disk space? I think I have enough disk space.

Is disk space really the problem? Or is that just where it hung?

Pacman hanging on "checking for file conflicts"

I've tried running pacman -Syu on my laptop and pacman is simply hanging at the checking for file conflicts stage. I've let it sit for several minutes, but it never seems to get past that stage. The list of packages to be updated isn't long:
Targets (5): bison-2.6.2-1 chromium-21.0.1180.75-1 flex-2.5.37-1 libldap-2.4.32-1 lm_sensors-3.3.2-4
This is being done on a laptop that was only recently rebuilt with a new Arch install using the latest installation media. The install went well and previous updates have worked with no problems.

I'm glad you solved the problem but "pacman -Scc" shouldn't be necessary and makes it more difficult to recover in a variety of situations. You can always re-download old packages but having them in your cache makes it easy to roll something back and makes it possible to do this without, for example, a working network connection. I installed in November and I've never even run "pacman -Sc" let alone "pacman -Scc". (Though I have trimmed the cache to free up disk space using, I think, paccache.)

Checking for file conflicts: could not get filesystem information

When I try to install a new package with pacman 4 I got the following warning just after pacman has done "checking for file conflicts":
warning: could not get filesystem information for /var/lib/ntp/etc/resolv.conf (deleted): No such file or directory
After the warning message is printed, the installation continues normally. This warning message has never shown up before.
I have ntpd running in a chroot as a non-root user (instructions).
I am wondering if anyone else gets the same warning message and if this 'problem' can be solved.
I forgot to say: the file is still there according to ls and is not empty, but the contents differs form the /etc/resolv.conf-file.

I'm not sure how to do that or I do not know exactly what you mean.
tim@tim-notebook:~$ pkgfile -gs "*etc/resolv.conf"
core/filesystem
extra/archboot
But you probably already knew that.
Running pacman with the --debug option did not gave me any more clues. All I know now, is that this message is printed when the moundpoints are examined:
stderr 'pacman -Syu--debug' output wrote:(...)

AnyConnect hangs when checking for required updates

Several of our customers require us to use Cisco AnyConnect to connect to their computers. I cannot connect to any of them because AnyConnect hangs when checking for required updates. If I start AnyConnect myself, it will eventually (after five minutes) tell me that it cannot connect to a server. If it is started from a web page, AnyConnect hangs forever.
In the past, this error has been random. If I try later, or the next day, it may work. Or it may not.
No customer has been able to give us any support on this issue.
Could you please give me some ideas on how to overcome this problem?
Thank you very much.

Checking for files in a folder -- Wrong output

Hi guys,
I'm writing a simple program, I have to check for 6 files (hardcoded, they will never change) if they are in certain directories/paths.
The problem is, I think I have a problem in my IF statements, because it continueally returns false.
The paths are on networked drives, does that make a difference?
I'm rather stuck on this one, any help would be appreaciated.
(some paths/file names have been replaced by "xxxxxxxxx", for security)

You could try using the File.exists() method.
The paths are on networked drives, does that make a difference?Try the above on a local file and a networked file.
I'm writing a simple program, Actually a simple program would be something like:
File file = new File("xxx");
System.out.println(file.exists());No need to include all the code you posted.

After MobileMe Mail update june 18, email quits after checking for new mail

on jun 18 2010 a All-new Mail update & Find my iPhone update on my iPod Touch has changed something alright. After checking for emails (me.com), the visual feedback hour thingie stops turning and then the email program on the iPod Touch quits. Restarted the iPod Touch but no change. Even if I can open an email, after 1 second the program quits. I have removed the Find my iPhone application but that did not fix the problem. This problem appeared AFTER the update. I removed the application Find my iPhone / iPod Touch because that program could not find my iPod, since I am working abroad.
Must I reset the iPod Touch to factory defaults and load it again? Then find out if it works ?

After receiving no tips on how to tackle this, I decided to just delete the email profiles on the iPod Touch and build from scratch. Since I use more than 1 emailaccount on that iPod Touch. It seems (so far) that the local Internet Service Provider with it's email settings is responsable for the crashes on iTouch. It checks an awfull long time for mail. On the Desktop computer iMac 20, Apple Mail program works ok. So maybe the new version is more critical about certain protocols. (?)
Anyway I deleted that emailaccount on the iPod Touch for now.

Sound not working after checking for driver updates and resetting bios

I am running a (HP Pavilion dv7-6c60us Entertainment Notebook PC)
I had muted the sound and did a system upgrad prompted by my HP assistant after logging on. Now when I try to get sound nothing happens. So I went out to the support site and checked for driver updates and none were found. So I then went into my system bios and reset it as stated in a support for sound not working and still no sound. HOW DO I GET MY SOUND TO WORK AGAIN?

From your models support page Download & Save the latest Audio driver.Go into Control Panel,Programs & Features- Uninstall IDT software.Restart the laptop. After Windows loads, install IDT audio using the downloaded file.

[Solved] pacman errors out after a hardlock

Hi, I experienced a hardlock today due to a bad memory stick during a pacman update. Now pacman tells me this (with --debug):

I deinstalled openoffice-base but I still get the same error.
Oh I think I found the culprit, in /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra/openoffice-base-3.1.0-1/ all files are empty.
I'm removing this directory now...
execute pacman -Syu again
still doesn't work
someone on IRC suggests pacman -Syy, this forces a synchronization of the database
I did that and now I do pacman -S openoffice-base.
This works, it's downloading openoffice-base from one of the mirrors now.
I thought I'd share this.

Thanks for sharing, I'm sure it'll help out someone in the future.

Bug-Report: Hyper-V - VM shutdown process hangs after unmount ISO file on host computer

Hello Microsoft team,
my HYPER-V VM hangs after I did follow things:
First I mount an ISO file into my Windows 8.1 Enterprise host (e.g. drive letter X:)
Now I mount X: into my VM (gen. 1)
Then I lost connection to X: on my host (e.g. unmount X: on my host computer)
Now when I shutdown my VM, it will be hangs.
I reproduced this on three computers with windows 8.1.
Thanks for help and feedback,
Gunnar

Hello Gunnar,
What do you mean about the sentence ‘mount X: into my VM (gen. 1)’?
If I mount the Windows 8.1 ISO to drive H:, and then try to install the VM gen 1, it has no issues.
If I just install the VM gen1 by using the Windows 8.1 ISO that have been mounted to drive H:, I still can’t find the issue.

Still Happening - Software HANGING while "Checking for device application updates...."

Windows Vista v4.7 of Blackberry Desktop Software
As soon as I plug my Blackberry in, the desktop software pops up message: "Checking for device application updates....." and it hangs.
I've tried rebooting, re-installing the Desktop Software and sometimes this will solve the problem for a few syncs, but it always comes back.
I tried changing the USB connection from my USB hub directly into the back of the computer and this fixed the problem for a few syncs but now it's BACK AGAIN!!!
Please help!!

I'm having this problem with Windows 7, build 7000. If I unplug my USB connection, the desktop manager seems to unblock, then stops again. Is there an issue with the device driver, jvm incompatabilities?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Checking for files using infoview

Hi
I am new to use Infoview in BO. In my project they are scheduling CR in infoview for a particular time. now new requirement is :
On nightly basis files will be send for each region.once they are loaded message will be generated using script in unix. Now my part is to login to the unix server and check for the message(access to the path will be provided. message may be content in file or may be a touch file.not my part) and the schedule timing through infoview and should run the report.
To schedule report for a particular time i went into schedule option and given database details where CR is present,destination details to where it need to be ftped and the format of output and timine on which the report need to be run.
But i dont know the process how to login to unix server and check for message.
Please let me know is there any option for the baove requirement in infoview.
