[Solved] Pacman -Syu not updating fully?

I've run Syy then Syu a couple times, yet pacman doesn't alert me to a newer Linux in core.
$ uname -r
Output: ... 3.6.5 ...
$ pacman -S linux
Output: ... linux-3.6.9-1 ...
So should I install this newer Linux regardless and then re-run Syu? Or is pacman disregarding 3.6.9 for a reason?
Thanks,

I haven't done the update yet, I just see that it is available, and my system has already been rebooted a few times after a previous system update (last week).
So the scenario is I have a freshly rebooted box reporting kernal 3.6.5, and pacman -Syy then pacman -Syu tells me everything is up to date, and pacman -S linux tells me that 3.6.9 is available.
That scenario seems odd so I just wanted to ask if it means maybe that I shouldn't update yet, or should I just update the kernel regardless by doing pacman -S linux?
You have "linux" on IgnorePkg? check your /etc/pacman.conf
If you are using arch on a vps (not based on kvm, but on openvz or similar) chances are, you are stuck with your current kernel.
If thats the case, don't force the kernel update.

[SOLVED] Pacman -Syu not working from chroot

Hey all, after an update today I accidentally broke something - I googled the error message on my Ubuntu install and it sent me to the pacman Arch Wiki page, at the very bottom -
pacman wrote:Q: After updating my system, I get a "unable to find root device" error after rebooting and my system will no longer boot.
A: Most likely your initramfs got broken during a kernel update (inproper use of pacman's --force option can be a cause). Use the below procedure in order to restore it.
Boot from a Arch live-cd. Once booted, run:
# mkdir /mnt/arch
# mount /dev/sdx /mnt/arch (your root partition)
# cd /mnt/arch
# mount -t proc proc proc/
# mount -t sysfs sys sys/
# mount -o bind /dev dev/
# mount /dev/sdx boot/ (your /boot partition)
# chroot . /bin/bash
# pacman -Syu
# pacman -S udev
# pacman -S mkinitcpio
# mkinitcpio -p linux
Afterwards, unmount and reboot.
OK, so i followed those instructions, however when I got to doing pacman -Syu I get a string of errors:

I've tried pacman -Syy (Returns the same errors) So I'm not sure what to do after that...
Any help to get me back on Arch is appreciated, Ubuntu's too slow!

The first one -
I can ping 8.8.8.8 but not any of the pacman mirrors.
ping mirrors.kernel.org wrote:ping: unknown host mirrors.kernel.org
ping 8.8.8.8 wrote:PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.

The second thread said his rc.conf file was on static not dhcp - Mine doesn't have any mention of those two terms in it.
EDIT:
Well I can't boot into my Arch install so I've not really got a choice other than chroot And I've tried it a few times with no result.

[SOLVED] Failed pacman -Syu system update

I tried update pacman -Syu and gave me this message:
error: failed to init transaction (unable to lock database)
if you're sure a package manager is not already
running, you can remove /var/lib/pacman/db.lck
so I changed db.lck to db.lck.bac
and when I pacman -syu pacman gave me this mesage:
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
initscripts: /etc/profile.d/locale.sh exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
any Ideals?

Can somebody help me bring my system into condition after a typical arch-way update)?

[SOLVED]pacman -Syu sychronize failure

Following the Installation instructions I installed a cd iso on the 26th.
There are 3 other linux distros on the 80 G drive and arch booted up and everything seemed to be OK.
I uncommented 5 repo sites in the mirrorlist and tried to update pacman -Syu.
All I get is ( Transient resolver error ) failed to synchronize any databases.
15 messages in all, for all 3 types. I tried ftp and http as well.
More searching with only one thread marked SOLVED.
I rebooted again but still the same errors.
Where do I go from here?
Start all over with a new cd?

[Solved] pacman won't update kernel

Hi, I create a base image that I clone to build from, it has nothing added but 'base-devel', earlier I installed an XFCE install, I went to create another from the same base image, when I install nvidia it told me in both cases that it needed a newer kernel 3.1.4, so I ran
pacman -Syu
. This morning this solves the problem, right now it states that it has nothing to update (it's made from the same image) and nvidia won't install stating it needs that upgrade. I shuffled mirrors around to see if it helped but it didn't. Anyone have an idea of why this is occurring?
thanks in advance for your help.

No, it doesn't do the upgrade, it insists there is nothing to upgrade, while the nvidia install says that there is.

[SOLVED] Pacman -Syu on a (very) limited bandwidth

Hi
I've been using Arch for about a year, and I'm still pretty new to Linux and Arch. The reason I installed Arch in the first place was because of the how much control you have over your system, since you get to build it up according to your preferences. I absolutely love Arch for this and many other reasons.
The problem I have is that I am limited to 500mb bandwidth a month. I know this wrong, but I always avoid pacman -Syu because of the 500mb limit. I avoid any necessary upgrading, and only upgrade packages that need to be upgraded whenever I need to install a new package that I need. I know very well that this is the wrong thing to do, but seeing as I am limited to 500mb a month (which I already use alot of, if not all, on university stuff), I don't see how I could possibly carry out frequent system upgrades. Could anyone give me some advice? Should I not be using a rolling release distro because of this?

@JackH79
Hope it'll work out all right for you. Would be a shame to lose you to an 'enemy distros' , just because of bandwidth restrictions.
Thank you. Don't worry, getting me off Arch is not gonna be easy
@syn
So is the public library's wifi off limits?
hmm...getting to the public library would be troublesome. I doubt most public libraries here have wifi anyways The uni library, as well as the rest of campus, gives us access to internet via wifi, but it has a ridiculous 150mb cap. Luckily, downloads on the uni network are unlimited, and I have a good feeling the Arch mirror is on the uni network. I'll just have to wait and see.
@mvdvarrier
Thank you. I was thinking about using Slackware, and it really helps knowing that the updates are small. I feel that I have found the solution because of my uni's arch mirror, but if that and all other attempts to stick to Arch fails, I think that sounds like a great plan B Still gonna try my best to keep Arch, I haven't used many distro's (Ubuntu, slight tinkering on a Fedora based distro...and Puppy Linux, Slax Frodo and ttylinux if tiny live distros count), but I really do like Arch's way of doing things.

[SOLVED]Pacman fails to update

Hi,
It's been a while, so I hope this issue can be resolved here, and I'll be on my best behaviour. I tried an update (system-wide) with
pacman -Syu
it came back with :
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
initscripts: /etc/profile.d/locale.sh exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
What do I do next?
Thanks for helping out

I'm sorry - I was trying to help myself by following the errors, as reported. It seemed that my problem stemmed from lib32-harfbuzz and lib32-freetype2, so I was attempting to remove those. However, wine was dependent on them so had to be removed first.
I told you want needed to be done. If you ignore provided advice and instead do other random things (without actually specifying what you are doing) then no one can help you.
Indeed, your posting did point me in the right direction, but did not appear until after I had posted about my experiment with wine. Wine is no great loss, anyway - I've never managed to achieve anything useful with it!
As you indicated, my problems were resolved by updating package-query:
yaourt package-query
Edit: In my searching, I did come across advice to use pacaur instead of yaourt - I'm not sure whether this would have made any difference in my case.
My analysis, wrongly or rightly, is this:
1) AUR packages (some?) appear to list pacman version as a dependency. "pacman -Syu" was attempting to update itself to 4.2 which broke the dependency (<4.2), even though 4.1.x was running at the time - there's a recipe for confusion! This was resolved by rebuilding package-query before updating the rest of the system, because the latest version has updated the pacman dependency.
2) lib32-harfbuzz and lib32-freetype2 (both AUR packages?) were in conflict - they cannot (must not) be dependent on each other. This was resolved by pulling later versions during the rebuild of package-query.
3) The libreoffice problem was not an issue. My mistake was that I ignored a lifetime of experience working in IT - I concentrated on the last-reported error rather than the first! All I can say in my defence is that eight years of retirement must have addled my brain!
In short, two, unrelated, errors, conflated with another, relatively insignificant, error message, led me on a wild goose chase.
I thank you for your wise counsel!

Wait until your server upload the recent Arch Linux updates. Than you will be able to upgrade it. Or do like i had: download open-bm-tools from Arch Linux official site and install it and then issue "pacman -Syu".

So I'm kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place here.
Because when i say i DON'T want to replace qt..
It says that qt4 and qt are in conflict and that i should remove qt anyway, even tho i never installed qt4 to begin with?
When asked
:: qt4 and qt are in conflict. Remove qt? [y/N] n
Should i simply say yes here? and hope that it resolves itself, or will that screw up my GUI?
Only reason why i'm not just go happy-go-lucky in this case is because i'm abroad traveling and kinda need my GUI, but i also need to update my kernel etc to be able to install Wine, which just happens to be a thing i need right now :P

[SOLVED] pacman -Syu on 10/17/2012, systemd can't load kernel modules

Ok, I did a [pacman -Syu] on my laptop, and everything went well. So I decided to upgrade my PC as well, did a reboot and then couldn't ssh into it.
Had to access the machine, and found
# systemctl --failed

3 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.
so it failed to load kernel modules...

I'm guessing it's probably something with the new image after the pgrade, but I don't know which module to load nor do I
understand why systemd isn't loading the modules when it was working stable enough to act as a headless server before. However, I've only been a week or so with systemd and might have overlooked something in the configs. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Please. I'm desperate.

Yep, I got that far, and tried the same advice from a different user with a 'tee' command which did the same thing, but unfortunately the forcedeth module can't be loaded because its in a different directory than the 'uname -r' specification allows modprobe to search for. I posted my attempts here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1181940

[SOLVED] pacman -Syu - Installation just died

I just ran my weekly pacman -Syu on my install. I can't remember what updates were available but one was Linux firmware. I did the command from SSH when putty lost connection. I logged into my ESXi VM console to find it with lots of information that I really have no idea on. Neither the normal boot or the Fallback work. I really should have snap shotted the VM prior to the upgrade
Any work around?

You just reconnect, screen -r and go on.
Second: as you see in the second quote, he didn't say anything about a kernel panic, just a lost ssh connection and the problems it caused. If you use screen on the server, literally nothing happens if you lose your ssh connection, you can even scroll back in screen to see what happened while you disconnected.
