[SOLVED] Pacman hangs at sync

Any idea why? I got my rt73 wireless working, and was able to go on the internet with links, but synchronizing with pacman is stuck at 'Synchronizing Package Databases'.
Is it because pacman is too old and I need to upgrade it first or what?

    I have not any NFS or Samba storage mounted or configured, just one local disk. However i have just grown my root partition from 32 to 100 GB, using gparted in livecd since my arch partition became full, so i think this issue has something to do with that.
    Any ideas??

    I solved the problem, it turned out to be my fault. Before i grew the partition i had another partition mounted in /var/cache/pacman to hold the pacman packages. I erased it to grow my root partition over it but i forgot to erase the entry in the fstab file, so the system was trying to mount the partition but it didnt exist anymore. The result was a broken mount, that was making pacman hang, since it searched for the files in /var/cache/pacman.
    Silly me!

  • [SOLVED] pacman hanged when install or remove packages

    when I use pacman -S , it only shows "resolving dependencies...". If I use pacman -R , it hangs at "checking dependencies..."

  • [Solved]Pacman fails on sync

    Hello there Archlinux folks!
    Today, my beloved little home server, running Arch, was a real pain in the ... and I had to realize, the fact: I need the help of ppl who understand this better than I do.
    As a related matter, I just bought a Network Media Player today, so I needed to modify my server a bit, like setup XBMC for upnp sharing, and Pacman showed me a "funny error message". With all due respect, I cannot reproduce the original anymore, - but it looked kinda same - since I tried to sync pacman with the repositories, and that somehow altered the current setup. Also tried to enable another repositories, but it did not helped.
    Now if I try to install something, like # pacman -S xbmc the following error message is triggered:
    [root@hoth estol]# pacman -S xbmc

    @skunktrader: yes, I tried, no it did not helped.
    @karol: mea culpa, mea maxima culpa, a friend of mine hooked me up with this distro, and set it to be hungarian as default, now I know how to change it - to be honest, this language annoys the crap out of me.
    @TigTex: yes, the host is alive, I can even browse the contents.
    Thanks for all the help, as it turned out, the problem was hardware related. Time to put her down.

    Which I know isn't the case as I visited the mirror via a browser and I can see Thunderbird 3 sitting there (taunting me)...
    So I did a
    # abs
    and now in /var/abs/extra/ I have thunderbird 3 sitting there. How is that possible?

    [2009-12-18 16:01] synchronizing package lists
    You open up the address in a browser and see all the files on the mirror and the dates they changed, there should be a file called extra.db.tar.gz which is the file listing what's on the mirror. You can also check mirror status on this page https://users.archlinux.de/~gerbra/mirrorcheck.html

  • (SOLVED) Pacman mirrorlist & DB Sync issue.

    Hi, I messed with HDD through BSD and my HDD was wiped clean!(grr) anyways I reinstalled Arch with 2009.08 iso image. I've setup connections and enabled repos and updated mirrorlist. I can ping google and browse it through links. System behaves normally. But when I try to install/search ANY package, it says not found in SyncDB.
    I've double checked the package names and also tried pacman -Syy, but still no joy
    It says core,extra & community are up to date, but stilll wont find kde, apache, alsa-utils etc.. I have not modified pacman.conf in any way. Help!

    Most likely, your mirror is out of synch. Look into your mirrorlist and determine the first enabled mirror from top of the file, then check against
    https://users.archlinux.de/~gerbra/mirrorcheck.html
    Pacman will pick the first mirror out of your list as long as it is reachable and if the mirror is out of synch, you won't get any updates.

  • [SOLVED] Pacman won't update and hangs

    Hey,
    After logging in a while ago I found out that pacman hangs in a very weird way.
    Don't mind the czech locale, the output should be pretty clear anyway.
    [root@meph-ntb meph]# pacman -Syy
    :: Synchronizuje se databáze balíčků...
    core 55,0K 4,2M/s 00:00:00 [############################################################] 100%
    extra 809,5K 8,1M/s 00:00:00 [############################################################] 100%
    community 449,5K 6,7M/s 00:00:00 [############################################################] 100%
    multilib 26,7K 2,8M/s 00:00:00 [############################################################] 100%
    [root@meph-ntb meph]#
    Seems alright. But then...
    [root@meph-ntb meph]# pacman -Syy
    :: Synchronizuje se databáze balíčků...
    And hangs here. Every other attempt at -Syy hangs like this, until next reboot. And after the reboot it again seems alright at first, but 2nd and every other attempt hangs.
    Pacman -Syu behaves in a similar way. First time after reboot it does sync the database and then hangs when it says retrieving packages. When I try again, it hangs on database sync.
    Tried changing mirror (long shot, I know), didn't help. Even tried without X running, didn't work. Also pacman.log is clear.
    Any ideas?
    EDIT: pacman --debug -Syu

    I don't know why, but the problem seems to be gone after a few hours. I didn't change mirrorlist, and it hasn't changed since last time the update worked fine either. I'm still curious what caused the problem, but can't think of a way to find out.

    I can't see anything suspicious (except that I still need to set up Reflector, but that's another issue, it's a fresh install). Anyway, sorry for the false alarm.

  • IPhone 4s (7.0.2) hangs at 'Syncing Contacts' with iTunes 11.1

    There seems to be a myriad of these various syncing issues posted; none of which have been answered and none that are exactly what I'm experiencing.
    My wife's 4s (iOS 7.0.2) has been hanging at syncing Contacts on iTunes 11.1 (iMac; Mountain Lion) the past several days. It never gets past "Syncing Contacts".
    Doesn't anyone have any advice. I've hard re-booted her iPhone; re-booted the iMac.
    We don't have this problem with either my iPhone 5 (7.0.2), her 2nd-gen iPad or her old iPot Touch.
    We share the same contacts and calendars across all of these devices and the iMac.

    May have solved it so am posting back.
    I had tried several times to sync the 4s after turning off the syncing of 'Contacts' (but telling iTunes to "retain" the contacts that are on the phone and NOT delete them). That managed to get through all other sync stages. However it still wouldn't sync completely; again hanging at 'Syncing Contacts' whenever I would turn that feature of the sync process back on.
    Just this morning I opted to Repair Permissions on the iMac's hard drive. I noticed severl repairs made to iTunes-related files' permissions.
    Tonight on the first try, the 4s synced trouble free.

    I tried removing core.db from /var/lib/pacman/sync/ and I changed SigLevel to Never in pacman.conf. I've tried other keyservers, and I've tried different mirrors. I'm not sure what to do from this point. I need pacman to continue building my system, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • [SOLVED] pacman - package does not have a valid architecture

    Hello,
    When I was trying to update my system recently, I ran into this problem:
    :: Synchronizing package databases...
    core is up to date
    extra is up to date
    community is up to date 0.0 B 0.00B/s 00:00 [----------------------] 0%
    multilib is up to date
    :: Starting full system upgrade...
    error: failed to prepare transaction (package architecture is not valid)
    :: package wine-1.7.17-1-i686 does not have a valid architecture
    I tried clearing pacman's cache to see if that was the problem, but it didn't do anything. I haven't upgraded the system in over a week before this, and I've installed packages in the mean time without issues. I know that it's not just a wine issue - I tried installing some random packages but ran into the same issue.
    The only thing I can think of that might have caused this would be archiso - I was trying to build a custom ISO but build.sh went wacky for some reason, and it seemed to be trying to install packages onto my system, not into the ISO.
    EDIT: This problem seems to only affect packages in community and extra. Packages from core and multilib don't run into this problem.
    SOLUTION: I think pacman's database files for community and extra got corrupted somehow. I just went into /var/lib/pacman, moved the sync folder to sync_old, then ran pacman -Sy, Everything seems to be good now.

    Unless that's a typo or you immediately followed it by `pacman -Su` then everything is not good now.  Never run `pacman -Sy`.

  • Local migration batch hangs on 'syncing'

    I create a migration batch for one user to move from one mailbox database to a different one. All servers Exchange 2013 build 712.24.
    The current and the target mailbox database are in a DAG. The migration batch hangs on 'syncing' and nothing happens. All database in DAG are fine (healthy and content index healthy). Nothing helpful in application logs" migration statistics with report
    show
    [ExchSvr2013] Job resumed with status 'Queued'.
    [ExchSvr2013] Relinquishing job.
    ExchSvr2013 is the server with the active copy of the target database.

    I did apply http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2807668 (ContentSubmitters)
    I did restart MS Exchange Replication and Search service.
    Since I have no further error information I would ask for some advise how to troubleshoot the issue.

  • New 3GS hangs when syncing Outlook calendars and contacts

    My new 3GS hangs when syncing Outlook calendars and contacts on my PC running XP. I've read a bunch of previous similar posts but haven't seen a solution. Does anyone have any hints? Thanks in advance

    This is a rare problem these days; it was common with earlier versions of the firmware. It is usually caused by a corrupted database in Outlook. Open contacts in Outlook and check the first few entries. Open each, make a change, and save it. If you get an error saving it you should either delete it, or export the entire address book from within Outlook, then reimport it. One of these will fix the problem if it is a corrupt entry.

  • Ovi Suite hangs on sync

    Hello, I just bought a Nokia N8 and wanted to sync with Outlook. The first time it worked, but after removing the phone and reconnecting the sync hangs at different stages. Sometimes in the preparation stage "Synchronisation wird vorbereitet", sometimes during sync. There is no error message, why it hangs. After deinstalling and removing any phone specific drivers from device panel I reinstalled the Ovi suite. First sync worked, second not. In my opinion, regular reinstallation for every sync is no option. Any other ideas? Windows 7 pro 64 bit, Ovi suite 3.0.0.290, Outlook 2003.

    Hi,
    N8
    Win7 x64
    Ovi 3.0.0.290
    I have exact same problem as OP.
    I spent 4 hours this morning attempting to sync contacts, which I eventually managed to do.
    I am now trying to sync Calendar & Tasks, but having no luck.  Ovi always hangs with one of two possible status messages (both of which were originally described by OP).
    Either:
    ...or...
    I have tried all suggestions put forward by mahayv in this thread, up to and including deletion of the MDataStore.db3 file.  BTW, deleting this file did not make Ovi Suite lose all contacts, messages etc., as mahayv indicated it would.
    When Ovi hangs on Sync, and I attempt to cancel, it then hangs again with the following message:
    After I then shut down Ovi, using File > Exit, both the program window and notification area green "Ovi" icon disappear, but two processes are still running (namely: NokiaOviSuite.exe and nokiaaserver.exe).  These processes must be manually terminated before Ovi Suite can be successfully restarted.  If I do not manually terminate these processes and try to restart Ovi Suite, then what happens is I get multiple copies of these processes appearing in task manager, but no Ovi Suite window will ever appear.
    Bottom line: Ovi Suite is not behaving remotely as it should.
    I have tried many possible solutions, suggested both here and in other threads and forums.  These include:
    Reinstalling Ovi Suite
    Repairing Nokia connectivity cable driver
    Reinstalling Nokia connectivity cable driver
    "Repair Sync" option within Ovi Suite
    Uninstalling ALL Nokia software and reinstalling
    Restoring a C drive backup I took about a week ago (i.e. before all this started) thus giving me a "clean slate" from which to try again
    I sincerely hope this issue is being taken seriously, as from my various net wanderings it looks like many people are having connectivity issues with Ovi Suite.  FWIW, I get the impression that the common factor is Windows 7 x64.
    As people have mentioned previously, Ovi Suite is a big let-down at the moment.  I really like my N8, but the longer I am without calendar sync, the bigger a problem this is going to become.
    Thanks mahayv for helping out so far - I really hope we can get to the bottom of this.

  • [SOLVED] Pacman syncs repos when doing -Syu immediately after -Syyu

    Hello!
    I've tried to find information regarding my problem but I've not found any, so maybe you would care to help me (I hope).
    It's not a big deal for me really, but it is annoying. The problem is as follows:
    Say I'm about to upgrade my system and I do:
    sudo pacman -Syyu
    then pacman syncs with the repos even if they may be up-to-date and upgrades all packages. That's awesome and exactly as it should be. However, were I to execute
    sudo pacman -Syu
    immediately after the
    sudo pacman -Syyu
    command, it still downloads the repo-data even though it's up to date with a 100% certainty.
    As I said, I'm not bothered bery much with this, but it would be nice to fix.
    Also, It works on my other computer without problems.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    /R

    My laptop behaved in a similar way, that is it sync'ed repos even if I wrote "pacman -Syu" right away after another system update. When I changed /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist to choose another repos mirror first, the problem got solved. So my advice is, change the mirror in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
