[Solved] Pacman broke after -Sy error loading liblmza.so.0

so I read in another post that all I hafta do is manually install xz-utils...so I got to AUR and try to makepkg -s after i tar -zxvf the .tar.gz file they provide
I might be missing something or may have not downloaded some extra file I need....anyways it said there was no target specified and no make file found....I'm sure it's fairly obvious that I'm new to linux so any help would be appreciated
i put the .tar.gz into a folder I named xz-util then i cd there and i utarred it with tar -zxvf then i cd into the now utarred file and I type makepkg -s
thanks in advance

Profjim gave you the link above. It is a plain tarball that contains all the necessary files and symlinks.

oskarn did -Syu (and most likely -Syud as Allan said), which is not -Sy. Since you aren't familiar with the basics of arch/pacman, it's hard to guess what you really did exactly. If you're able to get this all fixed, you'll need to read through some wiki articles to get a basic grasp of things.

[solved] pacman broken after "pacman -Syyu" excluding pacman

Hi forums,
I use arch x86_64, yaourt and the testing and multilib repositories.
A full system upgrade doing "yaourt -Syyu" didn't work, because pacman had an unfulfilled dependancy which I don't recall, but it was about a normal and a multilib version: I probably have the multilib version of a library installed, which has not been updated to the version required by pacman yet.
So I thought it would be perfectly fine to exclude pacman from this system upgrade by choosing "manually" from the options given by "yaourt -Syyu" and commented pacman.
The upgrade then went fine except for the two final lines:
package-query: error while loading shared libraries: libarchive.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
testdb: error while loading shared libraries: libarchive.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Now everytime I try to use pacman, I get this error:
pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libarchive.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Do you know how to solve this?
Thanks in advance

Actually, I was more concerned about updates for packages from AUR. yaourt would handle AUR packages as if they were in a repository, and update them, solving dependency problems.
Now what I fear is, that if some regular library gets an update, it may not updated on my system in the first place, because pacman only sees that the older version is needed for the AUR software, but is not capable of updating the AUR package (which works with the new library version) automatically. So updates will break some software unless I remove it first and install the latest version manually.

[Solved] Pacman message after interrupted installation... persists

As you can see I'm still a bit of a newbie. Yesterday I was installing TeX live, but while installing someone unplugged a USB stick and all went stuck... it all just freeze the system, I guess it was a hardware problem. Anyway, I restarted and when I came back to resume the installation (downloading of packages was already finished), pacman sent me a lot of error messages, but apparently TeX live installed fine. Well, I checked my TeX system and works fine. The problem is every time I try to install something, I always get this error message:
error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local/texlive-bin-2010.1-4/depends: No such file or directory
error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local/texlive-bin-2010.1-4/depends: No such file or directory
How do I repair this? I didn't want to clean the cache, but... would this do fine? what else do I have to do?
Thanx in advance.
Last edited by joe74 (2010-10-23 22:33:20)

Well, solved by myself.
What I had to do after a lot of mess was
1. uninstall everything that was causing errors
sudo pacman -Rs texmaker texlive-most texlive-core texlive-bin
2. and clear the cache of files not installed
sudo pacman -Sc texmaker texlive-most texlive-core texlive-bin
This solved the entire problem. Dialectical theory still functioning in my brains

[SOLVED] Pacman issue after -Syu

Hello guys,
This morning I did a full update with "pacman -Syu", before that, I also did an installation for gnome and gnome-extra as well as openoffice. There were some connection loss during the update and perhaps some packages failed to be retrieved, however, I repeated "pacman -Syu" and install the packages again and again until it showed that everything was installed.
But after that, every time I execute the pacman command, I always get the message "error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/community/chrootuid-1.3-3/desc: No such file or directory", it still shows that "local db is up to date" though, however, it seems like virtualbox isn't installable as "pacman -S virtualbox-ose" returns a "not found" error.
Please give me your solution about this
Thank you

Pacman -Syy did the trick, but I also need to change to another mirror as well, I suppose there was something wrong with the previous mirror.
Thank you all for your help

[SOLVED] Pacman -Syu Warning and Error

I want to update my system, but the first weird thing I notice after pacman -Syu is this warning message:
warning: dependency cycle detected:
warning: util-linux will be installed before its udev dependency
And then, when checking for conflicts, pacman throws this about some existing Xorg files:
(100/100) checking for file conflicts [######################] 100%
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
xorg-xmessage: /usr/bin/xmessage exists in filesystem

xorg-xmessage: /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/Xmessage-color exists in filesystem
xorg-xmessage: /usr/share/man/man1/xmessage.1.gz exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
Is it safe to force the install with a pacman -Syuf? I prefer to ask for your advice before I end breaking something...

Thanks! All those files belonged to an orphan and now extinct package called xorg-apps.
pacman -Runs xorg-apps fixed the problem.

[SOLVED] pacman.conf simple line error or... ?

So here's what happened:
I was trying to enable the [multilib] repository. (As according to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Multilib).
Thus, I went ahead and uncommented the following from /etc/pacman.conf:
[multilib]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
To edit /etc/pacman.conf, I used LibreOffice Writer. I saved the file as a .txt document and made sure that it is properly renamed as pacman.conf.
Next, I went to update pacman's package list by running pacman with the -Sy switch.
And then, voila:
# pacman -Sy
error: config file /etc/pacman.conf, line 1: All directives must belong to a section.
However, when looking at pacman.conf I don't see any errors in line 1. Nor do I see any problems with directives.
Here are the contents of pacman.conf:
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=XWh9eagr
Is there a simple problem with a line in pacman.conf --- or is it because I used LibreOffice Writer instead of Vi? Or?
Is the answer to this right in front of my nose?
Thank ya'll..

LibreOffice Writer is a word processor - it will do odd things to your .conf files. Use a text editor. If you don't want to use vi, then use nano, or gedit or anything other than a word processor.
Moving to NC: not at all related to pacman...

[SOLVED] Pacman "config file could not be read" error during Arch ins

I've been attempting to get Arch setup for a while now, and after having some trouble with partitions, my wireless connecting, and setting up repos and mirrors, which the Wiki helped me solve, I've hit a bigger bump. While updating the system using pacman as the Beginners Guide says to do, I get errors when I try to continue the update process as follows :
btw: I'm typing this on a laptop next to my computer
[root@McArch~]# pacman -Syu
error: config file /etc/pacman.d/core could not be read
error: config file /etc/pacman.d/extra could not be read

:: Synchronizing package databases . . .
error: failed to updated core (unexpected error)
error: failed to updated extra (unexpected error)
error: failed to updated community (unexpected error)
error: failed to synchronize any databases
Any tips as to whats going on? I've tried to created said files, and even insert mirrors into the file, like in the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist file but this doesn't seem to help

Glad you got it working.
I'm not sure what happened in your install but I just finished using an old 2007.08 iso and pacman first starts out with /etc/pacman.d/core, etc/pacman.d/extra, /etc/pacman.d/community ... etc., but I never had your problem when I did the #pacman -Syu after initial install reboot. The pacman update removes the above mentioned repos and replaces them with a single /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist. You must have messed up an initial config file somehow as I couldn't get the same errors you got. It looks like you had your /etc/pacman.conf file messed up somehow and when you pointed it to the mirrorlist it could finally work properly. I'll just include my /etc/pacman.conf file and /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist so you can compare. NB* these are from my x86_64 so for 32 bit machines i686 would replace x86_64 in the files.

SOS:How to solve "internal fatal error:load.cpp line6345"?

hello,everybody. now i meet with a sharp problem in labview. when i try to save a .vi file in labview, sometimes an error information will happen which is "internal fatal error:"load.cpp", line6345". i have tried almost every way to solve this problem but falied at last.
Can you tell me how to solve this problem? thank u all!

beryllan;
Let us know which version of LabVIEW you are using. After a quick search in here at the Discussion Forums, I found that problems with load.cpp were common in LabVIEW 6, (with special mentions to the Student Edition). If that's your case, try updating LabVIEW here.

Neo2 "Error Loading Operating System" solved

hi, i've been struggling with this frikkin error for a while now and i've finally figured it out, after reading a gazillion posts and not finding an answer i thought i should post mine here for anyone who gets the same problem
my setup: msi k8n neo2 platinum, amd 64 3500, some ram and vid card, 200GB SATA drive
PLUG YOUR SATA DRIVE INTO SATA3or4 if you only have one or two, SATA1and2 are unstable(for ocing) and just dont work for some folks
now you boot from windows xp cd, everything seems to be goin fine, pc reboots and BHAM! error loading operating system... ?!
well don't go and enable RAID in your bios (unless you really want to use RAID) just goto the bios --> integrated peripherals --> IDE function setup
now look for SATA1/SATA2 DMA transfer and SATA3/SATA4 DMA transfer, enable these, or at least the one that you're using
reboot, boot from windows cd, quick format the partition you want to install windows on, do the windows thing and reboot, viola! your windows installation should now be booting
if that doesn't solve your problem then i'm a greased weasel!
ps. another solution (that i used the first time round but annoyed me cos i'm really really obsessive about these things) is to run partition magic and clear the drive of partitions, then make a primary partition and a logical drive within that partition and set it to active, this worked for me
xcept i only use 1 HDD with two partitions, a smaller one that gets formatted all the time and off of which i run windows and a larger one that i keep all my stuff on, the trick was the put the booting partition at the end of the disk and not at the beginning like you usually would do, it's got something to do with the 1024 cylinder boundary but i don't understand that tho...

I had the same problem, easy solution, use Nforce 6.37 beta driver pack. and It will work OK! A way to enter the system is:
That is a probelm with SATA drivers, you may also install WIN XP making a disk for SATA driver from the Nforce 6.37 drivers in IDE\WINXP
Press F8,
Wait about 10 Secs.
Enter Normally, It may boot.
Regards
You may connect the SATA drive in either 1 - 2 or 3 - 4 Sata ports It will work OK, do not use DMA transfer it will make the Disk slower

T61: "Error loading operating system" after reboot with Windows XP SR3

So here is my problem: Occasionally, after reboot I get "Error loading operating system" right after the Lenovo screen (the one where you can press ThinkVantage button). After that the only thing I can do is shut down the computer and fix the windows boot (see bellow…). I'm running Windows XP SR3, clean install.
I've had my T61 for 6 months now and I've had this problem about 8 times so far. Obviously this makes my T61 unstable and is becoming a major problem (I like to shut down the computer before taking it anywhere, and I don't really use Hibernate).
Solving the boot is very easy and takes 3 minutes… But the Win XP CD is needed for the fix and I don't want to carry it around with me everywhere. And anyway this is annoying and makes my T61 crippled…
To fix the problem:
1 Change AHCI -> Compatibility in BIOS.
2 Boot using the Windows XP CD.
3 Enter the Recovery Console (press R).
4 Use "fixboot" to write a new boot sector.
5 Restart ("exit").
6 Change back to AHCI in Bios.
After that the computer works perfect until the next time… Things I have tried so far:
1 Installed latest Bios for T61.
2 Checked firmware for HD (WD Scorpio WD1600BEVS) and it's the latest.
3 Installed all windows updates for Windows XP.
4 Installed all latest drivers for T61 (specifically checked the Intel Matrix Storage Driver and it's the latest).
5 Checked computer for Viruses, malware, etc. with a few scanners. It's clean.
6 Updated some of the programs that I thought might be causing problems: Avira , PerfectDisk 2008, TrueImage Home…
7 Checked HD with WD Diagnostics tools
I am out of ideas. Something is corrupting the boot sector occasionally when I shut down the system. But I can't find why or under what circumstances it happens… The only thing I didn't try was a completely new clean system install, a thing which I REALLY don't want to do. Except for this problem the system is great, very stable and I'm very happy with it.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I run the windows version of TestDisk. Is there any specific reason for me to make a Live CD? It seems to work just fine in windows. Anyway, I run all the analysis tests with it. It did NOT find any problems. Is there some specific test I should run?
Some further testing has shown me that the problem happens sometime during using windows and not upon restarting... When it does happen I can no longer use chkdsk - it gives the following error message:
"The type of the filesystem is RAW.
CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives."
Some other things I tried:
- I've pretty much ruled out physical HD problems (I checked the HD with PC Doctor, WD's Data Lifeguard Diagnostic Tool and chkdsk - no problems). And the HD shows no symptoms of failure (no noises or any other problems).
- Ruled out boot-sector Viruses (cheked the computer with 4 different antiviruses - Avira,AVG, Kaspersky and NOD32).
- Manually checked the boot.ini file - no problems.
- I have also found while googling that the problem might have to do with a registry entry concerning HDs bigger then 137gb. I double checked that entry and it's fine.
- Tried both fixmbr and fixboot, alone and together - windows boots, but the problem comes back again after a few hours/days...
Things I'm trying now:
- Reinstalled the Intel Matrix Storage Drivers (before I just checked that they are the latest).
- Disabled the Active Protection System (I am shooting in the dark...).
I am getting pretty desperate here.

Having problems with Bridge shutting down after saving photo in PS Cs5,,,,,,,,, Also when i attempt to update either PS or bridge get an error message in Adobe application manger "Error loading updater workflow"

Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.

Illustrator CS3 Crashes after "Error Loading Plugins"

so confused.
Upgraded to a new PC with Windows 7 64bit Enterprise.
Installed my CS3, and Illustrator crashes after "Error Loading Plugins".
I moved the .aip files in question from the folder to my desktop, then put them back, but 3 are still there. The other 3 resolved.
Took the 3 in question back out, then back in. no change
Left the 3 out. No "Error Loading Plugins" but still crashes with a "stopped working" non descript message.
I have been trying to search all over the net for six hours to no avail. Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope.

with Enterprise edition you should be able to download from Microsoft a winXP32 bit virtual OS and run CS3 Ai in that mode.

"Error loading BASIC for document" while saving (solved)

In case someone else has this problem here's my solution.
I have a network (Netware 6.5) installation of SO7 (WinXP and 98).
My PC's have harddrives that are protected by Deep Freeze.
I start the Quickstart from a Run entry in the registry.
Starting with PU5, the first time I save a document I get 10-15 "Error loading BASIC for document...". After clicking OK on all those the document is saved and everything works fine. If I close SO and and reopen it everything works.
Rebooting the PC and trying to save a document gives me the error again (since Deep Freeze reset whatever change was made when I clicked through the error messages).
After some hours of debugging I noticed that when the quickstart icon pops up in the systray a new directory named __basic_60 is created in the user directory of the client installation. Removing that prior to starting Write or Calc made the saving error dissappear.
My workaround solution is to remove the gid_Procedure_Rename_Basicdir procedure and it's reference in gid_Module_Root in instdb.inf that's located in the program directory of my network install.
However it must be a bug that the __basic_60 directory isn't removed as default, right?

Dusty wrote:I deleted ~/.openoffice2 and it fixed the issue on reconfiguring it.
If deleting the .openoffice.org2 directory is a bit drastic for you, you can fix the problem by going into ~/.openoffice.org2/user/basic and editing the dialog.xlc and script.xlc files. You need to remove the line at the end that says WebWizard in both these files.
That will get rid of the two error messages you are likely getting.
Btw, anyone else miss the Projects functionality in Kate? Darn stupid sessions. Oh well...
