I always get that when I do sudo pacman -Syu, then update process continues normally, why pacman doesnt update the package if its supposed to be newer? Or am I getting this the wrong way?
If that no problem, Is there a way I can remove the warning?
cheers

I really cant remember why I put on that repo, but yeah its slow to update so, Will remove it.
But i do remember I installed the codecs to get something working on my system (cant remember what, maybe video/audio codecs?)
So I guess you are advising to remove codecs, remove archlinuxfr repo and then reinstall codecs?
UPDATE, checking my pacman.conf I remembered that I enable archlinuxfr repo because I have installed Playonlinux, but I guess I can get that from the aur. Is there anything special to do after removing a repo? will -Syu be enough?
cheers

[SOLVED] pacman warning

After just installing Arch on a new machine, I got the following warning on the first run of pacman: "warning: database file for 'core' does not exist". The same warning for 'extra' and 'community'. On the next runs of pacman, the warnings were gone. Should I be worried or is it something trivial?

Nothing to worry about. That databases for the repos sync on the first pacman run.

Hello,
The strange thing is only, that it seems that pacman under X got another mirror then pacman under Bash. I think that is the reason for the different outputs. Is there some way to let pacman use the same mirror under X an bash? Because it's seems that pacman under Bash uses an old and unchanged version of my mirrorlist. Here is my mirrorlist:

Itunes doesnt update apps automaticaly

hi
Why Itunes doesnt update automaticaly the apps?
after updating from Ipad and Iphone, I "transfer purchases" to my itunes. I click SYNC but nothing. If I go to check the app windows, some of them shows UPDATE status?? I have to click individually each app??? really??
Is there a good alternative (PC friendly) to Itunes? I cant stand this software anymore
chris

Do you have iTunes 10.5 installed on yur computer?
What happens when you try to update?
If you iPod is 8 or 16 GB it is really a 2G iPod and those can only go to 4.2.1. A 32 GB one can be either a 2G or 3G. To identify yours see:
Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage

Why nokia software updater doesnt installs

i want 2 know plz why it doesnt install.......... it say 256 mb memory free needed and then it says operation failed when pressed ok..... .... although a lot of free memory is present in hard drive............

I'm new here but following discussions closely.
I'm have the same problem with the update of my N95-1.
Tried (and tired of) reinstalling several times.
I'm using latest version of Vista on a Dell Inspiron 531 with most recent updates installed.
Up till this last firmwareversion no problem with connections whatsoever.
Tried all tips before execpt the one with the reinstallation of previous NSU versione replaced bij last one. Can't find this previous version and I am skeptical about the solution.
The only addition I can make is the installation of the PCsuite for Nseries. Bluetooth function was't perfect en deinstalled this with regular PCsuite (latest version).
I'm out of options and look forward to solution without trial and error. If everything fails trying to look for 'clean' XP machine elsewhere.
To me it looks like a bug in the NSU because of number of reports that have been posted, also on other fora.
Fenx in advance!

Why my ipad 4th gen doesnt update apps using wifi connection instead works on 3G?

MY ipad 4th gen is updating apps only using 3g connection whereas my wifi is working fine with chrome and other softwares, but it doesnt update softwares using wifi connection whic. Is unlimited data for me.

The WiFi only iPad does not have a GPS chip and does location through WiFi routers. Tethering to your iPhone will allow you to use the GPS chip on it and utilize Apple and Google Maps.

[Solved] Pacman fails to get packages http 403 or 404 error

Hi,
I'm not sure if I should raise this as a bug or not, or indeed if I am doing something fundamentally wrong...

Hi flangemonkey,
that mirror was not synced yet when you did the upgrade (the last sync ended today at 10:54 UTC, about 17 mitues after you posted on this borad). It should be ok now, just try to redo the update. Next time, you may want to check first the status of the mirrors https://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status

[solved] GDM won't start after update

Hello.
Today I made a pacman -Syu and gdm was updated.
On the next boot i only get a console and not the usual gdm login.
I loged in and tried to start gdm manualy with /etc/rc.d/gdm restart
wich results in an error message : "gdm already running. Aborting!", but it isnt
The X Server works (tried startx).
Any ideas what happend to gdm and how to fix it?
/edit : additional info: using current repository

Does your gdm.conf file contains paths like this: /usr/X11R6/bin
I think pacman just overwrites the config files if you never changed anything to them. In my case I did some modifications, so pacman made a backup of my modified file.
In case your file don't contain any /usr/X11R6/... , you may try do diff your file between mine:
# GDM Configuration file. You can use gdmsetup program to graphically
# edit this, or you can optionally just edit this file by hand. Note that
# gdmsetup does not tweak every option here, just the ones most users
# would care about. Rest is for special setups and distro specific
# tweaks. If you edit this file, you should send the HUP or USR1 signal to
# the daemon so that it restarts: (Assuming you have not changed PidFile)
# kill -USR1 `cat /var/run/gdm.pid`
# (HUP will make gdm restart immediately while USR1 will make gdm not kill
# existing sessions and will only restart gdm after all users log out)
# You can also use the gdm-restart and gdm-safe-restart scripts which just
# do the above for you.
# For full reference documentation see the gnome help browser under
# GNOME|System category. You can also find the docs in HTML form on
# http://www.gnome.org/projects/gdm/
# NOTE: Some of these are commented out but still show their default values.
# If you wish to change them you must remove the '#' from the beginning of
# the line. The commented out lines are lines where the default might
# change in the future, so set them one way or another if you feel
# strongly about it.

When bluetooth headset is connected to iphone,I can't hear iphone ringing aloud when I have a call or a text. Do i really have to wear the bluetooth headset all the time in my ear to know when I have a call or a message? Why it doesnt ring through iphone?

when bluetooth headset is connected to iphone,I can't hear iphone ringing aloud when I have a call or a text. Do i really have to wear the bluetooth headset all the time in my ear to know when I have a call or a message? Why it doesnt ring through iphone but it rings through the bluetooth headsets?
In other phones, you can hear the phone ringing and if it was connected to bluetooth, you could pick up the call from the bluetooth headset.
Here with iphone, if its connected to bluetooth headset, it only rings through the headset, which means that if you dont have the headset in the ear all the time, you cannot know that you have an incoming call or message.
Any ideas - solutions - comments please?

I'm having the same problem. I had a plantronics 975 (which I lost, sadly). When connected, the ringer would always be routed through the bluetooth and the iPhone's external speaker. When in silent mode, the iPhone would only vibrate, but I could still hear the ringer in the bluetooth.
I just bought a new Plantronics Voyager+. Now when it's connected, all sounds are routed to the earpiece - including the taps, etc. The iPhone's speaker doesn't ring at all, unless the bluetooth is disconnected or powered off. I'd really like to be able to hear both, like I was before. This is an iPhone 3G running iOS 4 (latest version, not sure what it is exactly). Haven't updated software/firmware in between bluetooths, just changed the earpiece.

[Solved] Pacman error after incomplete upgrade

Hi
I was updating my archlinux when my X11 crashed (I was restarting it after tweaking my gnome 3) .
Trying to update after that indicated that my system was already uptodate. Installing anything indicated that pacman was running else to delete a file /var/lib/pacman/db.lck , which I did.
Now I can install but get these errors (for an example of re-installing pacman):

[SOLVED] Pacman errors/weirdness

Hi, I recently installed Arch Linux on my PC. I have had experience with the Arch Linux distribution before so I roughly knew what I was doing. When I sucessfully installed Arch Linux I logged on and setup my wireless connection. After that I updated my system with:
pacman -Syu
It told me that there was an update for Pacman, but I wanted to update my system first of all so I skipped it. It installed during the package update process anyway. When it installed the new pacman version it created a new "mirrorlist" file as "mirrorlist.pacorig", so I deleted the old one and renamed the new one. But it seems to be having some bother, it is going really slow (probably nothing to do with the "mirrorlist" file) and it is detecting that I have a newer version of some packages than in the repositories. Why is this?
I apoligise if this is just a small error on my end but it was really fast before this update and functioning really well.
EDIT: I will reinstall my system just incase I have done something wrong somewhere.

There's nothing wrong. You need to comment out, or move ftp.archlinux.org to the bottom of the list. It's heavily throttled so people don't use it as their primary server. Unfortunately, there really isn't a good way to have a default server list. So, find mirrors close to where you live, move them up to the top of the list, move archlinux way down or off of the list, and everything will be fine.

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!

Why Lumia710 is "update not available" for "Taiwan...

I bought Lumia710 in Taiwan, I think Nokia also sold many 710 for Taiwan people.
But why Lumia710 is update not available for Taiwan users ?
We also need new features and further enhancements to the Nokia Lumia710 in Taiwan.
We waiting for
Latest Windows Phone operating system (Note. This is not WP 7.8 yet.)
Internet sharing (Wi-Fi Hotspot) — Share your phone's internet connection over Wi-Fi with up to five other devices or computers.
Flip to silence — Silence incoming calls by turning your phone face down.
Fix to prevent the volume of the ringtone temporarily increasing (Lumia 800 specific)
Download new apps from Marketplace, such as camera extras, including smart group shot and self-timer, Contacts share, and Play To, a DLNA app for showing your content wirelessly.
Usability and performance improvements.
Additionally Camera Extras (incl. smart group shots, panorama, action shots, etc.) will be available from the Marketplace plus other new imaging apps (like Citylens).
But just only Taiwan's Lumia710 users got update not available in Asia pacific.
It is mean : Latest version of software update will not be launched for this product code and/or country.
So anybody can answer me ? Tell me why ? Why without Taiwan users ?
Best Regards,
Kevin

Dear Kevinluh, Welcome to the Nokia Forums!
I understand your frustration, however update availability can vary depending on Region and carrier, this is because some regions and carriers may not have signed off the update or have policies preventing the update occuring.
We hope you understand, please get in touch with your local Nokia Care line for more information regarding the update.
Regards
Sheldrick

[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!

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
Thanks!

Why don't updates finish?

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.
