[SOLVED] pacman in .deb or .rpm based systems
I was wondering if it was possible to use pacman to install deb or rpm files, so I could use pacman in other distros such as debian or fedora instead of their package manager

Is it your computer, or does it belong to someone else? If it's your computer, do what you want. If it's someone else's, they can do what they want. And who cares whether your friends use a different distro? I am happy just when I know I even have a handful of friends who use any kind of Unix. Most people seem so hopelessly wedded to Windows, it's nice just to have the odd person around who uses Ubuntu or a Mac. Count your blessings, man.

[Solved] Pacman errors: "call to execv failed", system not booting
Recent upgrade (yesterday) - problems went like this:
1) pacman -Syu attempted "filesystem" upgrade and threw errors about some directories in /usr/local being 775 not 755.
2) that was because I had a non-standard package in there. I changed just those relevant directories to 755.
3) reattempted pacman -Syu but got a bunch of errors: "call to execv failed"
4) system was immediately borked. Reboot now throws me into a shell.
This is a 32 bit system.
Any ideas and help would be greatly appreciated.

1) used Arch LiveCD. Mounted boot and / partitions
2) pacman -r /path/to/root -Syyu glibc filesystem
3) reboot gave "Unable to find root device error"
4) ran LiveCD again following these instructions: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … onger_boot -
1) I saw in the Internet a lot of comparasions articles about the DEB and RPM and other packages.
And I just understand one thing that RPM is bad, DEB is better and Gentoo is the best and Archlinux packages is like gentoo,but more useful
But I don't understand why... all of these use precompile packages,but why Archlinux pacman more useful than Deb apt-get packages?
2) Sometimes I want to install some program and usually there are only packages for Mandrake,Ubuntu,Fedore and etc Linux Distributions, but there is no any for Archlinux and there are no these program in repositories.
What to do? How to install it? I listen something about Alien, but I didn't find it on the Archlinux repositoryThe differences between .pkg.tgz .deb and .rpm are not very signficant or even important. Mostly the packages have the same information and the same files.
Pacman uses the simple tar.gz format that contains all the package files plus the package special files.
A .deb file is an 'ar' archive that contains two separate tar.gz/bz2 archives for files and control data. This has the benefit of not having to uncompress the whole archive to just extract the control data (dependencies, filelist, md5 checksums, signatures). RPM is similar but they use a cpio format archive (also gz/bz compressed).
There are also some other subtle differences that are not so important. Like the difference in databases each system uses for storing package information (local/installed and available). This is really implementation detail since on different distros it could be even differently implemented. Pacman uses normal files in a dir structure in /var/lib/pacman. RPM uses a Berkley DB IMHO. I dunno about Debian.
All of the systems can use local files, ftp and http repositories to get and install packages, so that's mostly the same. All systems support dependencies, and all work fine with them.
Pacman as pretty much the most recent system, IMHO, has the best UI of them all. One command for all actions (except building packages as it should be). Debian OTOH has a lot of different commands which is not so great. Package building is also very simple on Arch, with the PKGBUILD files and the makepkg command. It's not very hard in Debian or Redhat either, so that's not a big difference.
NOW the main difference IS NOT the package type!!!
The main difference is how the packages are designed themselves. The community that builds the packages makes the difference. For example, Ubuntu and Debian apply a lot of patches to their packages. For ex. their X init scripts don't load the ~/.xprofile file (which pisses me off). Then there's the problem (most common in RedHat/Fedora and off-shots) of insane dependencies that are always problematic. So what differentiates all the systems is the community and the normatives they build.
I like Arch's approach since it ships very compact packages without a lot of dependencies, and without separate packages for include files, libraries etc (in most packages at least - there are exceptions where it makes sense of course). This makes it simpler for everyone actually.
OTOH I don't like how Arch packages are stripped of documentation files... Maybe this made sense in the past, but today I don't see a benefit of stripping the documentation, and it can be very handy in situations when you are off the grid (yes that happens ).
I personally don't like that the qt4 package will be named qt, but that's another topic on this forum .

[SOLVED] Pacman strange behavior from last system upgrade
Hi,
From last august, pacman complains when I try a system update.
He says that a lot of local packages are more recent than proposed:

REDHAT LINUX 7.3 on nForce based systems - An installation guide.
INSTALLING REDHAT LINUX 7.3 ON NFORCE BASED SYSTEMS.
A) Preface
I'm a Linux newbie, just sharing my experience with installing linux on nforce.
in my opinion Linux is a powerful but still a nascent operating system (in terms of user friendliness atleast!). many features are extremely 'release' and 'version' dependent. this means that, what works in redhat might not work in mandrake or what works in redhat 7.3 might not work in redhat 7.1 or likewise...
the steps i'm listing below just reflects how i went about installing RH 7.3 on my machine (K7N420D). it MAY not work for other versions or releases.
B) BIOS SETTINGS
1. I recommend, PnP disabled, ACPI/APIC disabled.
for Mandrake 8.2 install on some machines (mine included), i suggest disabling audio and network in the bios till you get a stable level 3 (console without X windows) or level 5 install. for some reason, sometimes, on some boards, Mandrake 8.2 hangs when probing audio and lan during boot.
C) PREPARING TO INSTALL
1. i suggest you get the three iso images from the internet and burn them into installation disks. though there are other ways of installing, this is the simplest way of doing it.
2. if you have windows installed already, make sure you have a windows boot floppy in case of boot problems, you can also make one for linux during installation.
3. using windows or fdisk strip off a sufficient chunk of hard disk space from an existing partition if you don't have a free partition. you need not create any partitions, just the non-allocated space would do. (as red hat can beautifully split this partition into /boot, / & swap partitions!)
4. i recommend using GRUB (GRand Unified Boot-loader) instead of LILO for boot management. if you prefer the same way, get good documentation/how-to for grub from the net. this will be handy if you mess up your boot partition and end up in a grub prompt during boot.
5. goto nvidia's drivers page and get appropriate drivers. i always recommend tar balls or src.rpm files instead of pre-compiled rpms. if you are using EXACT same version of the linux release as mentioned in the drivers page you can use rpms. If you wish to upgrade your kernel or use a different version of linux then make sure you have tar balls or source rpm files. make sure you also print the installation instructions from the same page.
6. the drivers you need are
a. NVIDIA_nforce-1.xxxx. - you need this one for audio & lan. (found in nforce link in drivers menu in nvidia site with an instruction manual)
b. NVIDIA_kernel-xxxx AND NVIDIA_GLX-xxxx- both these for Graphics in Xwindows. these two drivers should be exactly matched. i suggest you download all of them along with a files named NVchooser.sh found on the same page. NVchooser will tell you which pair to install for your linux kernel version and CPU.
D) LINUX INSTALLATION
1. boot from 1st installation disk that you made. go through the GUI installer and choose automatic partitioning, it will take you to the Disk Druid and you can select the partition in which you wanna install linux. if the partition you choose is unallocated, most of the times didk druid will make three patrtions on its own, one is /boot (boot partion), /swap (partition for swap, similar to ramdisk) and / (root partition). all the three mount-points may be allocated on the same partition too.
2. Choose GRUB (if you prefer) as boot loader and set Linux as primary boot OS and this page would've detected windows if you've already (it may appear as DOS). Choose "MBR" to install GrUB. If you get any warning ignore it. IMPORTANT: If you have NTFS partition for windows and you had windows as primary OS, there is a reported problem that says, in some versions of the linux installer, choosing MBR to install GRUB makes it hard to boot into windows. i haven't tried that option yet as i don't have a NTFS partition. If you have an NTFS partition, you may prefer to choose the other option to install GRUB or you may choose to install it later. in either case make sure you have a boot floppy to get you into linux or windows, whichever one you want.
3. choose automatic install if you don't want to control which packages you want to install. else choose expert installation and proceed with it.
4. when prompted to check the packages you want to install, choose "development tools" or something similar without fail. This is for installing a C compiler which is a must have for some driver installations. (this also installs perl and other dev tools, if you're an 'expert', there's an option in this page to custom select modules)
5. somewhere you'll be asked to provide a root password, in the same page there'll be a provision to add users other than root. create atleast one user other than root at this time.
4. somewhere you'll be shown a list of video adapters with NVIDIA Geforce 2 generic driver already highlighted. Below this screen you'll see a "Skip X install" or something similar. CHECK THIS TAB and this will NOT install the generic driver for your integrated GPU and also will not configure the GUI environment for Linux. This makes your video configuration a little easier.
5. now linux will install, get configured and will ask if you wanna create a boot floppy. make one just in case you
6. RH 7.3 will not recognize your APU and integrated LAN. you can install the drivers for this later.
7. After installation boot into Linux, if you just followed the steps above you'll nicely end up in level 3 console!
E) INSTALLING DRIVERS
1. Assuming you got all the drivers in CD/floppy, login as 'user', type command "su" (super user) supply root password, now you are logged in as root. read the installation manual for the NVIDIA drivers and install NVIDIA_nforce-1.xxxx drivers for audio/LAN. do these series of steps from the console prompt,
#vi /etc/modules.conf
press INSERT key, add the following lines,
alias eth0 mcpeth
alias sound-slot-1 i810_audio
alias usb-interface usb-ohci
press ESC, (Shift) colon, wq and Enter.
This will save the changes you made.
2. Now install the NVIDIA_kernel-xxxx AND NVIDIA_GLX-xxxx- drivers as per instructions. follow the steps below.
#XConfigurator
Choose settings that are relevant to the monitor you use and mode supported. Choose custom configuration wherever possible. If your monitor is not listed, choose 'custom' all the way through and provide hardware details such as horiz/vert freq range, video memory and clock settings (choose 'recommended').
DO NOT LET THE XCONFIGURATOR PROBE ANYTHING. sometimes this might cause a hang that is not necessary at all.
select all videomodes and color depths that you think your monitor will support and exit XConfigurator without any probing.
3. Now at the prompt do the following,
#vi /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
Press INSERT and make following changes.
replace line
Driver "nv"
with
Driver "nvidia"
In the Module section, make sure you have:
Load "glx"
Remove the following lines: (or put a hash before)
Load "dri"
Load "GLcore"
and the whole
Section "DRI" (last three lines usually, DRI may be in lower case usually)
Press Esc, (Shift) colon, wq, Enter to save and exit.
4. using vi make sure you have these lines in /etc/modules.conf file
alias char-major-195 NVdriver
5. edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local and insert
/sbin/modprobe nvaudio
/sbin/modprobe nvnet
save and exit. ( this is a crude way of loading modules but it works though!)
6. Type "reboot" at prompt and reboot your system.
7. get into bios and load original settings. (get back ACPI if you have windows, enable PnP OS etc)
8. During restart linux may get you into the kudzu installer to install network drivers/audio, ignore this.
9. login as "user" and type "startx" from console, your GUI should start smooth and you'll have video, sound, USB, LAN working (you need to fiddle a little bit more to get things work perfect) !
10. There is extensive documentation found in the internet on these topics, have fun exploring them.
F) TWEAKING YOUR HARD DRIVE
most of the modern hard drives support UDMA transfers and usually linux is pretty much conservative on this option. so you might want to force linux to use UDMA. the following discussion assumes that your hard drive is /dev/hda, change it to hdb, hdc etc as per your setup.
CAUTION: The 'hdparm' utility described here is a very powerful and dangerous if used improperly. USING hdparm IMPROPERLY MIGHT CORRUPT YOUR PARTITIONS AND RESULT IN SEVERE DATA LOSS. hdparm works with IDE drives. i'm not sure how it works on SCSI drives.
@ console,
1. type "man hdparm" and read through the hdparm manual atleast twice before you understand what it can do. THIS IS A MUST.
2. login as root or get into super user mode and try the following. all commands are shown after #
3. Benchmark the hard drive
# /sbin/hdparm -t -T /dev/hda
this should spit out the transfer rate both cached and sustained. note this value. if these values are close to what you expect out of your drive, you are OK. you may get out of further adventures! if the transfer rates are horrible like 3.5 Mbps etc (it was on my seagate ata IV drive!), then proceed with the tweaks. the golden rule is, after each tweak, run the benchmark and record your transfer rate. if there is no significant improvement, revert back to the default settings.
4. # /sbin/hdparm -i /dev/hda
note down MaxMultSect, MultSect, Modes supported : PIO/DMA, especially the mode with a 'star' in front of it. (prefered mode)
5. 32 bit I/O : to enable 32 bit I/O over the PCI bus
# /sbin/hdparm -c1 /dev/hda
this usually doubles your transfer rate if the drive supports. you may need to use -c3 for some chipsets.
6. Enable DMA and set DMA mode
if your drive supports DMA find out the prefered DMA mode using -i option.
# /sbin/hdparm -d1 -Xab /dev/hda, where
ab=64 + uDMA mode number (for eg. 66 for UDMA 2)
ab=32 + DMA mode number (for multi-word DMA mode)
you might need to prepare the chipset to enable DMA but on most of the modern hard dirves this works. refer to the "man hdparm" for details. beware, the options to 'prepare' the chipset for DMA should be used with EXTREME caution. if you do not know what you are doing, don't try it.
7. To set multiple sector mode I/O,
# /sbin/hdparm -m XX /dev/hda
where XX is the MaxMultSect value obtained using -i option. if the MaxSect is already set to this value, you need not tweak this.
after all these tweaks run the benchmark atleast three times consecutively and average the transfer rates. make sure you don't hear grinding noises in the hard drive. use these tweaks a couple of times manually and if verything appears to be working fine, add the necessary commands to the rc.local script to execute them automatically during start up.
G) FINAL WORDS
I assumed that you're a total 'newbie' to linux when writing this so i followed a conservative approach. most of the things that i described can be done in many ways, it's up to you to explore them! as usual, there MIGHT be typos and other serious errors in this guide. also the driver files that i might have mentioned here are the ones that were available when i wrote this. so you might wanna try their latest equivalents. i'm open to all healthy criticism and suggestions. when i installed linux on my nforce board, i was badly looking for an article like this on the net. i missed one, if it exists at all. so am i writing this. i hope you'll get benefitted by this in some way.
-Venk@Venkat,
Thanks for this really really amazingly accurate and exhaustive post that helped me A LOT to install linux on my machine!!! Otherwise, I think I would still be hanging with a mandrake 8.2 trying to load sound...
My system is now fully functional but, (yes, there is a little but) I was not able to make the LAN function properly. When booting, while linux tries to load the ethernet module, I get something like:
'mcpeth device does not seem to be present, delaying eth0 initialiation'. Then, I open an X session, I try to use the network configurator, the ethernet device is there but when trying to activate, it fails... I swear I enabled the LAN in my BIOS.
I also tried to replace 'alias eth0 mcpeth' with 'alias eth0 nvnet' in /etc/modules.conf after reading the installation notes of NVIDIA drivers. I get a slighty different result: my boot error is now 'failed to load module'.
It is a shame I have to boot back to Windows to use my DSL connection. I think i need some insights. It will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Chouch

This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi,
Nearly all hardware vendors won't release drivers for Windows 10 until Windows 10 is officially released (not preview). Windows 10 should install drivers for your machine after few updates. Windows 10 can find all drivers (except one: finger print) for my 5 years old machine. It should be able to find drivers for newer machines).

Installing DEB or RPM printer drivers on ArchLinux running on Pogoplug
I've managed to get Archlinux running on my ARM6 Pogoplug. I got the timemachine server up and running, and I'm moving on to a CUPS server. I can't find any linux drivers in the Gutenprint repository, but it appears that Lexmark has Linux driver downloads for my printer: http://support.lexmark.com/index?locale … age=null#1
That's great, except a) they only have Debian or RPM based packages, and b) from the CUPS web administration, it's asking for a "PPD" file. I've tried downloading both drivers to my Pogoplug and running the install scripts, but both fail, saying:
Operating system: linux
CPU Arch: armv6l
Warning: No installer for "armv6l" found, defaulting to x86...

[SOLVED] Pacman broken, tried reinstalling
Hey all,
I just installed Arch on my system.
Tried to install new packages using pacman, but I got the errors that the 'extra' and 'community' databases don't exist.
I tried to check in the conf file, but couldn't see any errors. Where do I have to check?
I also tried to reinstall using the script form the sticky post:
#!/bin/bash
arch=`uname -m`
mirror=ftp://mirror.archlinux.no/
# link to cache (or download) and extract: openssl,libarchive,libfetch,pacman
cd /tmp
for pkg in openssl-1.0.0.e-1 libarchive-2.8.5-2 libfetch-2.33-3 pacman-3.5.4-4; do
pkgname=${pkg}-${arch}.pkg.tar.gz
if [[ -e /var/cache/pacman/pkg/${pkgname} ]]; then
ln -sf /var/cache/pacman/pkg/${pkgname} .
else
wget -c ${mirror}/core/os/${arch}/${pkgname} || exit 1
fi
tar -xvpzf ${pkgname} -C / --exclude .PKGINFO --exclude .INSTALL || exit 1
done
# now reinstall using pacman to update the local pacman db
pacman -Sf openssl libarchive libfetch pacman || exit 1
# now update your system
pacman -Syu
Of course i updated the package names to the recent updates. But duh(!!!) how can it work, when it's using pacman to install pacman...
So. I'm kinda lost here.
Thanks for any help!
Last edited by foreveraloneguy (2012-01-26 00:19:43)I should point out it's not always wise to -Sy. Instead -Syu as it is safer.
Also, please mark this thread as solved (assuming it is solved) as described here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … ow_to_Post

[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
Last edited by roobie (2012-06-09 12:10:52)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

Problem when integrating Web based system
I want to integrate a web based system.I tried to use appintegrater, but my web system only has one page that accept URL parameters to let you login.
So, I need to try Http system and URL iView. There is an "Authentication URL" property in http system, does that mean I can fill in the page which accepts URL parameters, and fill the "URL Parameter for Password" and "URL Parameter for User Name". Then ,when I want to access any page through this http system, will the system login to the web system use the properties defined first?
I've tried this method, but failed. I don't know if the method will work? If not, anybody can give some suggestion?Hi,
there is no out of the box solution for a xml export. So you got 2 options.
First :
Use the SDK and create your own export solution, which will executed whiled printing / inserting a order.
Second :
Use a third party addon like coresuite, which allows you to create a batch including VB scripts. So if you press print, the batch job creates the printout and a xml file for your export to the web services.
Perhaps your issue could also solved by using the XL-reporter, but i do not know exactly which functions the XL-reporter has.

I first noticed this when I removed lxde and awesome after I was done playing with them and pacman took out pkgs necessary to run gnome. As you can see some x pkgs are listed as orphans, along with things that were not orphans before, like abs and firefox. My orphan list used to be only a few items long because gwibber apparenly has some build items that are no longer needed after install like dee and vala.
I've tried reinstalling the listed pkgs, ALL of my installed pkgs, and nothing. It keeps reporting this same string of pkgs and it is making me afraid to remove xscreensaver (the one thing on the list I don't want to keep) because I am afriad of pacman taking out too many pkgs. Installs seem to be working just fine, and I only use pacman to install pkgs on this system, I always use
sudo pacman -S pkgname
or
sudo pacman -U /path/to/aur/pkg
and I only update via
sudo pacman -Syu
So is there any way to "rebuild" the dependancy tree that I don't know about? I looked thourgh the Wiki and did not see anything.
Could I have removed a pkg(s) that has broken Pacman's dependancy tree?
Is there any more info that you guys might need to help me out with this?

[Request] Lexmark 08z printer driver (deb or rpm packages)
Good evening! I have been trying and trying to get either Lexmark's 08z Printer Driver .deb or .rpm to convert to a tar.xz or tar.gz to install with pacman.
Here is a link to Lexmark's support page. (You can navigate to either the .deb or .rpm from there easily.)
I have a college paper due on monday, so it's not immediately pressing.
Thank you for all of your help in advance!
LeoThanks ASOM! That did the trick. Next time I will investigate a little more before picking up a new piece of hardware that just started to support Linux.
I suppose I could see that money spent as an encouragement for Lexmark, since they did take the big leap into the scary waters of open source support.
Perhaps with a little helpful feedback, we can get them to put the drivers in a package like HP uses. I don't care what's in the package that gets my printer to work, just so long as it is fully functional. I know, I know.. "Bad Open Source Advocate!" ...but we can just club these companies to death when they don't do every little thing our way. After all, most of us use nVidia cards, since the nVidia blob is still better than the open source nouveau driver. (For the time being. I still have faith in those devs!) -
Difficulty Connecting to WiFi From A Windows XP Based System.
Hello, this is my first post on the Apple Forums and also my first forums post using my new MacBook.
I got my MacBook from a official Apple distributer from my Polytechnic. I am required to have a MacBook in my course there, so the school has this distributer come over and sell them at discounted prices. The MacBook I bought was a Early 2008 model and the only issue I have with it is connecting to the internet. Surfing the internet is fine, apart from losing the connection a few times.
Quite often when I turn on my MacBook and log in, a screen pops up saying none of my preferred networks are available. Funny thing is my preferred network appears on the screen and I have to select my preferred network and use a 26 character password, which is thankfully saved in my keychains.
Now the problem is the connecting to the preferred network. I want my computer to do this automatically when it starts. The second, but bigger problem is that sometimes I can't connect. The computer will try for like 2 or 3 seconds and say connection timed out! I need more than 2 or 3 seconds to connect. Sometimes it says security failed.
The only way for me to get on is to keep trying sometimes more than 10 times!
my third problem is also frustrating. Whenever I close my MacBook to move it, my Messenger signs out and it takes forever to sign in!
None of the other computers in my home, using the same WiFi network are having any trouble. I am beggining to worry if my MacBook has a faulty WiFi. If this is so, it can get it replaced within 7 working days.
This is my first Mac and I want it to work perfectly.
Problems:
1) Won't automatically connect to preferred network.
2) Difficulty connecting to internet over WiFi from a Windows XP based system.
3) Windows Live Messenger logs out whenever I close my MacBook.
Hardware Involved:
1)Early 2008 MacBook, 2.4ghz, 2 gigs RAM, Leopard (Not updated, just the one pre-installed on my MacBook.)
2)Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router
Any help will be much appreciated.1) Yep, thats been done. This problem seems to have been solved. It was an issue yesterday, but since turned on my MacBook today morning, I haven't had any issues.
2) The Security Setting is WEP Password. Sorry I wasn't clear about the "WiFi From Windows XP." I'm not too tech savvy when it comes to networking, but my router is connected to a Windows XP PC. This PC is directly connected to the internet. In my house there is also an my MacBook, an iMac and Windows XP Laptop. Am I making any sense hehe?
3) I checked the Energy Saver, but I cannot find the option that allows me to keep my internet on while the MacBook is closed. Nothing at all. Right now, I have set my MacBook to High Performance while its plugged into a socket and its on Better Battery Life while using batteries.
Thank you so much for the help bdkjones. -
