[solved]pacman -r issue

Hi , I would try to install arch on a usb stick from my current desktop and I thought
that a
pacman -S base -r newarch --ignore kernel26
could go , where newarch is my mounted usb stick, but this simply don't work.
pacman returns 'base not found'.
pacman -S base
instead works as it should... what I'm doing wrong?

You want to do:
mkdir -p newarch/var/lib/pacman
pacman -Sy base -r newarch
Note that the "--ignore kernel26" part does not work as you are using "base" which is a group (known issue) But you can always remove it later.

[SOLVED] Pacman Performance Issue

Hey everybody:
I have a weird performance problem with pacman. When I tell it to download something, it works fine when it is finding the package, figuring out dependencies, and processing the command.
Then, when it gets to downloading, it'll take a few to several minutes to start downloading a package, download it at a normal/acceptable speed, then take a few to several minutes to start downloading the next package.
I'm not sure what's causing this problem but I could see this beeing a nuissance for upgrades and things like that. Or right now, because it's a fresh install and I'm trying to install Gnome, lol. This behavior is also experienced when I'm updating the mirrors (pacman -Syy).
I'm going to let it run overnight where it'll probably be done by the time I get back to work in the morning, but this seems like there's something wrong because I just tried on my laptop (on the same LAN) and it works as fast as I'd ever seen it. In the past, I've never done any optimization or mirror ranking and I haven't experienced this issue before.
Thanks!

Well, the install on the desktop was brand new, but they were both working from the same (default) mirror list. I commented out the first few entries, as well as archlinux.org and a few others that seemed far away from their names, and tried it again. Same issue.
I thought it might be an issue with the DNS servers, so I tried pinging google, yahoo, and like xmission and a few others that it may not have cached and they all got resolved pretty quick.
Seems very strange. I remember yum being extremely slow, now that I think about it, but I used Fedora last about 3 years ago now (this was a different building and different internet plan at the time). Apt seemed quick enough (since Fedora I have been dual-booting Windows and Debian).
We have a fiber optic connection at work, not particularly fast at download but has good upload (more important for us), and we have a local DNS caching server. It has caused some problems before, but it seems to have been behaving today (and for several months now).
Thanks again, love the forums and I'm glad to be getting Debian off my work PC (strange as it is, I'm more comfortable with Arch now than I am with Debian).

[SOLVED] pacman -Syu issues for a newbie

Hi all,
After my very first installation of arch in my laptop, following the Beginners Guide, I tried to upgrade my system in order to continue installing wifi, gnome, etc...
after a Pacman -syy, followed by pacman -Syu, I got the following output:

after looking for something on the web, i found something like this in the URL http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=56431 , but after deleting the /usr/lib/klibc/include/asm, I've got the same errors
How can I continue installing arch?
Thanks a lot,

[solved]pacman upgrade issue using axel

i changed the default downloading tool to axel, but ervery time before i run pacman -Syu, i need to rm /var/lib/pacman/sync/*.db. If I don't do this, axel can't overwrite the database automatically, which can result in the fail of pacman upgrade.
what should i do so needn't i rm the db files before upgrade.

Thanks Scimmia and tdy!
I changed the mirror to Japan's ftp.jaist.ac.jp one but after that, running pacman -Syu said core up to date, community up to date, extra up to date.
Then I did
# mv /var/lib/pacman/sync /var/lib/pacman/sync.bak
Afterwards pacman -Syu worked correctly and upgraded Intellij Idea to 12.0.2-1!!!
Hopefully the second step I posted will help someone :-)

Pacman alpm issue, vercmd missing, after rescue from install CD

Hi
I wanted to remove all packages from my system and reinstall from scratch
So i used the pacman tip from the wiki to reinstall all packages on the system
but changed it to remove instead -R instead of -S, little did i think ...
everything on the system was removed, except running processes.
i had no ls etc, no pacman and so on.
So i created a arch cd from another computer and booted on it on my arch install computer.
then i was advised on the archlinux irc. todo a chroot mount and use pacman to install base-devel (+ base)
Hence i did that, ... after a long long while i succeed.
i first got chroot /mnt no /bin/bash mesage when trying to start the chroot.
So i copied the files shown via: ldd /bin/bash & ldd /usr/bin/pacman
then i mount:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/
mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/boot
mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/usr/
mount /dev/sda7 /mnt/var/
(i didnt mount /home).
then
$ chroot /mnt
From here i use pacman to install packages
pacman -S base-devel - runs fine.
pacman -S base - i miss one package file (dcrond - i think)
Then instead i go the the very fine wiki again, and see how to install all local packages.
and use that.
However now i get messages under the pacman install of the type .
/tmp/alpm_QWYZ/.INSTALL: line xyz: vercmp: command not found.
------------- || -------------------------: line xyz: [: : integer expression expected
I can't find out where this message comes from, i can find no vercmp comand
(maybe a shell function?)
I get lots of other similar errors.
============================
At last there are al those /etc files which got .pacsave endings, should i think about them?
Here some more errors from a "pacman -S base" via the arch CD and chroot
find: /sys/devices no such file or directory
Which: no /pcmcia-socket-startup.staic in (/sbin)
ERROR: '/sbin/pcmcia-socket-startup.static' is not a file
+ some related files /sbin/pcmcia-**
============================
If i reboot and enter my system on its harddisk instead of via the CD.
I get SH: not able to change group (-1) : inappropiate ioctl for device.
This error message is by memory, since i just borked something else.
and couldnt load system on harddisk, somehow the kernel has misplaced itself...
============================
Ok more information:
I succeded in booting via hardisk, and it looked very promising.
However ...
Console messages:
device-mapper: ioctl: 4:15.0-ioctl .....
Waiting 10 seconds for device ...
:: running hook [resume]
Waiting 10 seconds for device ...
Root device ´´ doesnt exist, attempting to create it

.. some general info stuff
You are being dropped to a recovery console

Thanks John, Bill and Graffiti for your interest!
The original install, many years ago, was of an education version from a local college. As updates became available thorough the update manager, they were installed. As stated above, it updated though 6.0 to 6.6, and then on to 7, eventually to 7.1! I can only repeat what happened, but not explain it. I thought nothing of it at the time, as it was all being managed by the update manager. I agree that this last seems to be more an upgrade than an update, but... what can I say? What happened is what happened, and it happened as I described it.
But not's get hung up on the history! Now that I seem to have solved the original issue of not getting past the message that 'a more functional version has been detected', how does one solve the 'invalid serial number' issue that occurs when attempting to reinstall 6.0? Delete the Acrobat registry keys from HKLM and HKCU, and possibly anywhere else? The former didn't work yet, so, where else? Maybe there is an 'update' folder hanging around somewhere with a registry reference that needs to be deactivated? Something like {AC76BA86-0000-0000-7AC5-6028747ADE00}?
Any further thoughts? And thanks for the input, it really is appreciated!

Solving Centro hotsync issues without a hard reset

I have a Centro (sprint). I am running Windows Vista. I cannot connect with hotsync. Whenever I try, I get the following message -- "The connection between your handheld computer and the desktop could not be established. Please check your setup and try again." I went through the article referenced at the beginning of this forum and performed all the suggestions (reloaded Palm desktop 6.2, the outlook 2007 update, soft restart, etc.). I took it to a repair center and they stated the ONLY way to fix it was to do a hard reset which would lose all info. Since I can't hotsync, I haven't been able to backup the phone which means I'll lose everything. I'm hoping there are some other suggestions I could try. It seems contrary that the only way to solve a hotsync issue and save your data is to do a hard reset and lose all your data. Thanks.
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

Is your Vista 64 bit or 32 bit?
Try performing a warm reset of your device... Take out the battery press and hold the UP button insert the battery while holding the UP navigator button wait until you see set date and time then release the button. Connect the phone back to the PC and try perform a hotsync.

Facetime is not in the App store. It is part of the iOS. You access Facetime on the phone via the contact section. Facetime needs to be activated in Settings. The only reason you may not have it is if you purchased the device in an area where Facetime is prohibited by law.

EDIT: I realized I misunderstood one of the posts on the forum I saw previously. I fixed the issue by setting SigLevel = Optional TrustAll. I thought it meant only in one place, not each package I'm using. Sorry for the inconvienence.

Next time, please use [ code ] tags, not [ quote ] tags
like this
https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode
so the code is more readable and longer listing are nicely scrollable.

[SOLVED]pacman issue -- no mirror is responding

Hello,e verybody ! I have an issue with pacman : I cannot install/update/syncronize with it because no mirror is responding.
I activated every ftp mirror but they all do not answer in the fellowing fashion:

The issue stands whichever I use ethernet or the wireless connection...
I'm stuck with it. Hence, any help is welcomed and thanked !
EDIT: The solution was easy… My university filters every ftp requests, i simply have to us http mirrors.
