[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):
looking for inter-conflicts...
debug: looking for conflicts
debug: check targets vs targets
debug: check targets vs targets
debug: check targets vs db and db vs targets
debug: check targets vs db
debug: check db vs targets
debug: checking dependencies
debug: checkdeps: package openoffice-base-3.1.0-1
debug: returning error 33 from compute_download_size : package filename is not valid
error: failed to prepare transaction (package filename is not valid)
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.

LR 2.2/2.3 errors out after every 15-20 image imports

I've seen several topics in the forums discussing errors when exporting images out of LR but I have been experiencing issues during the import process.
I was running LR 2.2 on Mac OS 10.5.6 without any issues. When 2.3RC was released, I addded it on and used it for a few days. It was very buggy so I deleted it and started using 2.2 again. Last night, I went to import the first batch of images (in 2.2) since deleting 2.3RC and got an error message which killed the import process. Now, I totally apologize but I do not have the actual error message to provide but I think it was something along the lines of LR not being able to find a location of sorts.
I assumed that this was a fluke and restarted the import (minus the images that were already imported into the catalog) and the same error occurred after another 20 or so images.
Is it safe for me to assume that this is related to the memory leak issue that others are posting about when exporting? Also, is it possible that some remnants of 2.3RC are in use even though I deleted the actual application? Should I remove all instances of the app and re-install?
Thanks for any help!
Brian

I hadn't imported many files using 2.3RC so I just tried it.
306, Nikon D300 NEF files imported from internal disk
MacBook Pro ('unibody')
The operation took 1 minute 10 seconds excluding the time to create the standard profiles.

Expense request getting errored out after Expense approver rejected

Dear Experts,
I am facing issues where employee expense request is getting errored out when the expenses approver reject the Request.
We are using a workflow to move this request.
Once the employee submitted the expense request. We are having 2 level approval of his/her. Supervisor at the 1st and Expense approver at 2nd level
In the 2nd phase the Expense approver rejecting the travel request to make modifications, however the rejected request is NOT routing back to the employee.
Any assistance highly appreciated

Hi Venkat,
Many thanks for your reply
The required work flow is properly configured. I can see after rejection it has been routed to the employee again.
However after rejection its getting errored out, any idea on the possible reasons, does er approver is selecting or inputing any incorrect parameters.
Regards,
Tamiz

[SOLVED] Pacman error when installing Arch from installation cd

Hey I''ve been checking the wiki, forum and even google and I've found some responses but they don't seem to apply to my problem and I just need a little help.
I'm at the 4th step "Select Packages" and when I select it I get "Pacman preparation failed! Check /dev/tty7 for errors"
the error on tty7 is "pacman: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libalpm.so.4: cannot read file data: Input/output error"
I apologize if this is an easy fix but its been almost a year since I've used arch and I'm a bit spoiled with ubuntu.
****The cd was outdated. Burning a new copy fixed it*****
Last edited by Rabbit (2012-01-03 01:40:33)

I'm afraid it might be too old. I'm going to try to burn a new copy tomorrow when I can borrow a friends computer. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something real simple before I gave up.

How to Solve "General Error: Out of memory"

Hi all experts,
I have this "weird" error which I encountered for the first time.
I converted a AVCHD file from my SD card (in mts) to .mov format using clipwrap. I played the resultant .mov file using Quick Time and it plays smoothly without any problem.
Now, I imported this .mov into FInal Cut and it appears into my project panel. Then I click on this file expecting to see the video in the Viewer Window but it doesn't. Instead, an message saying "General Error: Out of Memory" appeared on the Viewer Window.
Then, I tried another method by draggin rhis file from the project panel straight into the timeline. When I put my CTI onto it in the timeline, the video appears on the Canvas window but when I press the spacebar, the movement of the video is very jerky.
Both the sequence settings on the video & sequence are matching at 1920 x 1080.
Any idea what is going on ?
Thanks

MartinR wrote:
Did you convert the AVCHD video to QuickTime using _Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC)?_
(.mov files are QuickTime, but the video codec inside would be H.264 if all you did in Clipwrap was convert .mts to .mov without also specifying conversion to Apple Intermediate Codec. A QT/H.264 video file would be playable in QuickTime but could not be edited in FCE. Needs to be QT/AIC.)
Suggest checking (and let us know) what your clip & sequence properties are.
Thanks Martin.
And you are right ! The clip converted from clipwrap is QT/H.264. But how do I instruct Clipwrap to convert it to QT/AIC ?
Also, how come Final Cut classified this as an "Out of Memory" error ?
Thanks

[Solved] Pacman error after incomplete upgrade

Hi
I was updating my archlinux when my X11 crashed (I was restarting it after tweaking my gnome 3) .
Trying to update after that indicated that my system was already uptodate. Installing anything indicated that pacman was running else to delete a file /var/lib/pacman/db.lck , which I did.
Now I can install but get these errors (for an example of re-installing pacman):

(SOLVED) Pacman error: GPGME does not exist

Hi, I have also just been struck with the same issue - a broken pacman (and for no reason that I can fathom). Was working perfectly yesterday and all I did that wan't usual was to uninstall clamav.

[SOLVED] pacman times out

Hi, I'm new to arch, but have used ubuntu for a while now.
New installation, and when I run pacman -Syu, it says the following
#pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed retrieving file `core.db.tar.gz` from mirror.pacific.net.au : Connection timed out
error: failed to synchronise code: Connection timed out
Also, I think my network is set up correctly as I can ping google.com
I am using a wired connection with dhcp.
Do I need to edit the resolv.conf, and the hosts files, I am not sure what needs to go in these files.
I installed from the 2008.06 core i686 iso.
Thanks in advance
EDIT:
view http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=56376 for solution to problem

Thanks again for all your help Xyne,
I am trying the install from within Ubuntu, and it isn't looking good.
I needed to follow http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … ting_Linux instead of the link you posted because of pacman.static being removed or something.
Anyway, it is still timing out
I don't know what to do, I don't think it can me my connection, as it seems to be working well for everything else.
Also, I read this in the wiki guide, and was curious, I'm not using x86_64.
You may want to manually resolve DNS in the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist, because pacman-static for i686 may not be able to get address information on x86_64 systems.

[SOLVED] Pacman errors

Hello,
I've been trying to install fluxbox on my freshly installed arch linux (with updates) and I've been following a guide on how to do so. The problem is that I can't really install anything but 'pacman -S xorg', like for example if I try 'pacman -S hwd' I get this error:
http://rs51gc.rapidshare.com/files/1985 … G_1785.JPG
and this happens to pretty much every package that I've tried.
I've googled a lot and I've found some suggestions but none have worked =/
Please help.
Thanks.

[SOLVED] Pacman errors/weirdness

Hi, I recently installed Arch Linux on my PC. I have had experience with the Arch Linux distribution before so I roughly knew what I was doing. When I sucessfully installed Arch Linux I logged on and setup my wireless connection. After that I updated my system with:
pacman -Syu
It told me that there was an update for Pacman, but I wanted to update my system first of all so I skipped it. It installed during the package update process anyway. When it installed the new pacman version it created a new "mirrorlist" file as "mirrorlist.pacorig", so I deleted the old one and renamed the new one. But it seems to be having some bother, it is going really slow (probably nothing to do with the "mirrorlist" file) and it is detecting that I have a newer version of some packages than in the repositories. Why is this?
I apoligise if this is just a small error on my end but it was really fast before this update and functioning really well.
EDIT: I will reinstall my system just incase I have done something wrong somewhere.

There's nothing wrong. You need to comment out, or move ftp.archlinux.org to the bottom of the list. It's heavily throttled so people don't use it as their primary server. Unfortunately, there really isn't a good way to have a default server list. So, find mirrors close to where you live, move them up to the top of the list, move archlinux way down or off of the list, and everything will be fine.

[SOLVED] Pacman error: failed retrieving file : No address record

I just installed Arch on a x86 laptop using the cd as the package source. I wanted to do a net install, but when I attempted to (regardless of the mirror) I got many responses from pacman in tty7 of "No address record". This happened despite having a network connection and being able to ping any site from the cli.
After installing, I am still having the same problem. The laptop is plugged in via ethernet, and I can ping any site I want, but a call to pacman -Syyu just returns numerous errors such as
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mirror.rit.edu : No address record
And just as a test, I was getting replies when pinging mirror.rit.edu.

Try the following steps:
1 - Set the VirtualBox Networking option to NAT
2 - Start the arch machine in the VirtualBox
3 - Edit /etc/rc.conf as a dynamic IP:
HOSTNAME="arch"
interface=eth0
address=
netmask=
broadcast=
gateway=
4 - Run dhcpcd
5 - Try to ping a couple of sites, or your router
If you still can't ping or anything, I suggest you start a new thread specifically about your problem. Include the output from "ipconfig -a". You're not going to get much help from posting in a thread marked "[SOLVED]".
