@kevin_chn
If you don't need these packages, try removing them.
Solved after removing these packages. Thanks both. I am now downloading the huge 1.7G updates.

[Solved] Pacman suggests that gnome-control-center could be removed?

Hi,
On my Gnome 3.2.1 Arch box, pacman -Qdt returns gnome-control-center 3.2.1-1...
It seems that this package (albeit it is not required by any other package on my box) has been installed as a dependency (that's pacman -Qi says...).
Furthermore, i suppose that removing it would make Gnome a little bit less usable...
Anyway, each time i remove "pending" packages listed by pacman -Qdt, i skip this one. But, i wonder if there is a reason why it appears in the list and why it is not marked as required by some gnome package.
Last edited by jaco (2011-10-28 09:08:42)

Thanks, Wonder...
On my "Arch Testing" Virtual box, i've noticed that this package was marked as explicitely installed... so my first idea was to remove it on my Arch Stable box to reinstall it but your solution is far simpler.

[SOLVED] pacman says system is up to date

Hello Archers,
I've been using pacman to update this particular system with no problems until recently. It says "there is nothing to do," but I know at least that I have an old kernel (2.6.34.1-1). I've tried changing mirrors three times, refreshed the package lists each time, and cleared the package cache. The /var/lib/pacman/local directory looks OK except for the outdated files. The latest date on those files is August 3, but that was when I installed new packages rather than updated; the rest of the entries are from July.
P.S. I believe pacman is able to sync the repos but not actually update anything.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks, you're right. I can't believe that many U.S. mirrors are out of date without mention on the front page or in the forums (or did I miss it?). I was able to update as usual on another Arch system, however, which probably defaulted to one of the few good mirrors.
Anyone know when the situation will be resolved?
EDIT: Thanks for the info, mcmillan.

[solved] nm-applet does not show up in Gnome panel

Hi all,
I installed networkmanager, network-manager-applet and dbus this afternoon. As well as a fresh install of Gnome. This is all done on my laptop, which my wife wants to use now and then. I always set up the network CLI, but now I will need a nice flashy applet in the Gnome panel.
I managed to run the network-connection-editor as root, and got the network up.
I had some dbus problems when I tried launching nm-applet, but fixed it with a dbus-hack I found in some other thread. But when I now launch nm-applet, it says that there allready is an instance running of nm-applet.
I guess it should show up in the panel, if it is. But I don't see anything there... Do you have any ideas of what I forgot to install/configure/check.
Thanks,
jocom

There have been a couple similar posts recently. I'm not using Gnome anymore or networkmanager, so I don't know if there's a problem with it or not. If I remember correctly I had to install gnome-panel-bonobo, and I believe python-notify and gksu too. You can do a search on the wiki for networkmanager, there is a page for it that explains the configuration changes you'll need to make. Hope it helps.

[Solved] nm-applet not appearing in gnome panel

Hi all.
I recently replaced my wired network card with a wireless one.
I then followed the instructions at the following pages to get the correct software installed:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wi … orkManager
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager
My only problem now is that nm-applet does not appear in the gnome panel.
Both nm-applet and networkmanager are running though, but the network is not up.
If I then kill nm-applet and run it from the command line, it the creates the icon in gnome-panel and automatically connects to my wireless network.
I've looked through all the related posts but I can't find anything that helps.
I've tried to make my DAEMONS section of rc.conf as simple as possible:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng netfs crond dbus networkmanager alsa)
but that didn't help either.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
As a side note I have a another machine with exactly the same wireless card with a fresh install and it works perfectly with regards to nm-applet.
Perhaps it's a config setting that is causing the problem?

Well since upgrading to gnome 3, I no longer have this problem so setting to solved.

GNOME-Panel looks funny and the system is slow? [SOLVED]

My up to date installation with Arch started to work really slow today. Even the animation when you open a new tab in Firefox lags like hell. And at about the same time my GNOME panel started looking funny:
As you can se the toogle button looks weird to. Its not my theme nor the Murrine engine.
This is how it should be:
I cant remeber doing anything out of the ordinary? It kinda just happend. I have no idea at all whats causing it, so I dont now how to debug the problem? I feel like a complete noob atm.

You can grep the date from the pacman.log output to show you what was upgraded on that day.
I meant about 2 days, it could be more or less. I've checked the log pretty thoroughly serveral days back but I cant find anything, but I dont trust myself either though.

[solved] gnome-panel restarts with alt+f2???

Hello, few days ago I made an upgrade (pacman -Syyu) and I noticed today that when I make alt+f2 my gnome-panel restarts and no Run windows opens... well the first time I press alt+f2 it opens but only for a microsecond and it closes and gnome-panel restarts...

update to gtk2 2.20.1-2

[SOLVED] update removed menu items in lxpanel menu & in gnome-panel

when i start gnome-panel, the 'applications' drop down is empty, and 'system' no longer contains the 'administration' and 'preferences' items.
in lxpanel, the menu only shows 'run' and 'logout'.
i wanted to see if alacarte still showed things, so i ran alacarte from a terminal (which normally works)...
[chris: ~]$ alacarte
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/alacarte", line 36, in <module>

File "/usr/bin/alacarte", line 32, in main
app = MainWindow(datadir, version, sys.argv)
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Alacarte/MainWindow.py", line 48, in __init__
self.editor = MenuEditor()
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Alacarte/MenuEditor.py", line 36, in __init__
self.__loadMenus()
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Alacarte/MenuEditor.py", line 60, in __loadMenus

File "/usr/lib/python2.6/xml/dom/expatbuilder.py", line 211, in parseFile
parser.Parse("", True)
xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError: no element found: line 1, column 0
naturally, starting alacarte by right clicking on gnome-menu -> edit menus also does nothing.
i looked at /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Alacarte/MainWindow.py with cat, and there is nothing super-obviously wrong with the script.
also:
[chris: ~]$ ls /usr/share/applications
abiword.desktop
alacarte.desktop
aldm-gui.desktop
assistant.desktop
at-properties.desktop
avahi-discover.desktop
banshee-1-audiocd.desktop
banshee-1.desktop
banshee-1-media-player.desktop
baobab.desktop
*and so on*
so those didn't vanish.
any ideas?

so i saw this error message....
** (gnome-panel:4408): WARNING **: Error loading menu layout from "/home/chris/.config/menus/settings.menu": Error on line 1 char 1: Document was empty or contained only whitespace
the file was empty. and what do we do with broken config files in ~? why, we hide them, of course!
[chris: ~/.config/menus]$ mv settings.menu settings.menubackup
now gnome-panel works, but alacarte (menu editor) and lxpanel's menu is still busted.
now that i am getting somewhere, im gonna keep posting as i trace this down so others that may come across this same issue can benefit.
edit: renamed ~/.config/menus/lxde-applications.menu to .menubackup and restarted lxpanel, it works now.
edit2:
alacarte is giving me this...
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/chris/.config/menus/applications.menu'
and sure enough, pcmanfm told me that the file belonged to root.
sudo pcmanfm, navigated to that file, right click -> properties -> permissions -> changed owner to chris and group to users.
alacarte works now, too.
i think im going to go through and recursively make everything in each ~ folder belong to the username it should just in case permissions got jumbled somewhere/anywhere else.
just so i know: did this happen to anyone else that updated within the last 24 hours or so?
(so i can learn if it was something *I* did, or if it was something that came with the *update*)

Gnome-panel and/or more broken? solved

Hi there,
Just to the lead up, I was mounting my school's server's smb drives. I was also experimenting all day getting SSH and SAMBA working to communicate with my old desktop I set up in my room to act as a server. So I was unmounting these network drives (school and server), when all the gnome-panel stuff frozen. AWN was fully functional, as were all the open windows and the desktop. But nothing on the panel worked, menu, windowlist, cpufreq, clock, etc, it was all frozen. I ctrl+alt+backapaced and logged in, great, now theres no panel at all, reboot with the same problem. The panel appeared after around 7 minutes of downtime. During this downtime of the panel, I also could not use alt+F2 run, which did pop up when the panel popped up. Also after the panel popped up, gedit takes way longer than normal to start up.
Any ideas as to what is going on here?
EDIT: Rebooted several times with the same problem of insanely slow start up of the panel, reinstalled all gnome+gnome-extra packages and everything seems to be back to normal for now.

You can turn things off mostly in the applications themself. I for example have the following:
- Bluetooth Icon (turn on / off in Bluetooth Preferences)
- Display Icon (turn on / off in Display)
- Bettery Icon (turn on / off in Power Management)
- NetworkManager (shows icon by default, I don't know of another way to run this).
Volume Applet (right-click to remove)
In Preferences - Startup Applications you can specify which programs to run, but I don't think this affects the tray icons.

How can I investigate what's the source of the problem? Is there a way to get pacman to tell me which package it is that is trying to pull in openntpd? (Or does anybody know right away how to resolve this issue?)
Oh, by the way: "pacman -Sii openntpd" says
Required By : networkmanager-dispatcher-openntpd
but I don't use networkmanager.
Last edited by halun (2012-11-23 07:54:51)

Ha, how stupid of me...
I thought openntpd was being pulled in, but it was already installed (by me, apparently) although I've never used it. Removing it by hand before upgrading resolved the problem. Thanks!

[SOLVED] cyclic dependancies with gnome

When i run
pacman -Syu
it says that mozilla conflicts with mozilla-firefox and asks if I want to remove it. So I say yes. It then starts downloading about 50 packages which takes about 15 mins. No problems.
Then however, i get a message saying that it can't remove mozilla because evolution-data-server relies on it. Fair enough. I don't use evolution, so i try to do:
[root@nazgul gautam]# pacman -R evolution-data-server
error: this will break the following dependencies:
evolution-data-server: is required by gnome-panel
Which is wierd, coz I don't see why gnome-panel would need this. Anyways, I try:
[root@nazgul gautam]# pacman -R gnome-panel
error: this will break the following dependencies:
gnome-panel: is required by gnome-applets
gnome-panel: is required by gnome-netstatus
gnome-panel: is required by gnome-utils
gnome-panel: is required by libgail-gnome
gnome-panel: is required by gnome-python-extras
now, I need those packages coz I use gnome a lot.
So my problem is: I wanna update my whole system but I can't!!! Any ideas guys?[/code]

Yep. Thanks guys. All fixed.
Here's what I did:
pacman -Sy mozilla
pacman -Suy
Basically I had to upgrade mozilla first. With the upgrade the un-needed dependancies are removed. Phew!
And now, to delete mozilla altogether ... 8)

I had this same problem, and I went through the instructions as posted, but it must have removed pacman in the process. Now, I cannot update anything. I went through the stickied topic on pacman but it didn't work. I found some instructions on downloading pacman and installing it manually, but now every time I run the pacman command I get:
pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libalpm.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I googled that and none of those instructions work for me. Is there a way I can save my system?
Edit: And now my laptop has the same error preventing me from updating Pacman, what should I do to resolve that one? I would think that something in the repositories needs to be fixed and this is probably a bug, considering the home page doesn't say anything about it.
Edit 2: I did the following
sudo mv /usr/lib/liblzma.so /usr/lib/liblzma.so.0
And now pacman works, but it cannot find a single mirror that I have set up, it says "error retrieving file" on everything.
Edit 3: Nevermind, I give up. I'm going to wipe and reformat my computer. This is RIDICULOUS. I hope the same problem doesn't happen to my laptop, what is the *official* way to fix the "package-query: requires pacman<3.5" problem?

Gnome-panel always crashes after update

Everytime, and yes i mean everytime I run a "pacman -Syu" and reboot, gnome-panel just crashes upon loading. If I kill it and restart the panel, it does the same thing. The only way to resolve this is to run "gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel" which resets it back to default (since I customize the panel).
Anyone experienced this before and know a fix?
edit: When I say crash, I mean I can't click on anything on the panel, it's completely unresponsive. I used to have the deskbar. Most of the times, half the panel doesn't load.

Probably should, but those two directories weren't there on my clean install. I just created .themes and .icons and restarted the application, and it worked. (Saw the bug report)
...and the fix has already been released per bugzilla.
