[SOLVED] Quake Live AUR Package 64 bit support

I juts found this quakelive package on AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=43938
I tried it, but it said no x86_64 support.
Then, I tried this patch, but I still get this:
david@davidarch:~/pkg/quakelive$ makepkg -si
==> Making package: quakelive 0.1.0.433-1 (Sat Mar 3 20:36:15 WET 2012)

david@davidarch:~/pkg/quakelive$
I also read on the AUR comments that if I change the checksum it's possible to install it:
I have 64bit up and running but i had to change the checksum to fa54d8f7e7be7c7f04cbc52cf3e693ff. (Made the checksum out of the downloaded file, i know, not a good idea, but it works)
Maybe new version?
thanks

I just don't know how to do what this guy did... Any ideas? Thank you very much!

[SOLVED] Archiso : installing AUR packages on a live image

Hi all,
I'm quite an arch newbie, I'm trying to setup a live USB stick, with the help of archiso. My goal is to finally get an "audio oriented" system (with jack, ardour, qsampler, and so more...).
During the setup everything was working very well, until I tried to add some AUR packages to the install.
On the arch website, I found this tip, which gave me a great hope about this.
I'm not so familiar with Arch package management, but ok, I try to make a test : adding the "qsampler" AUR package. It needs "linuxsampler", "qt4", and "liblscp" as dependencies. "linuxsampler" and "qt4" are official packages, so I just have to add them to packages.both in the archiso working directory. "liblscp" is an AUR package (with no dependency); so there is 2 AUR packages to install : "liblscp", and "qsampler".
So I create a directory tree like described in the tip, download the two build packages from AUR, and for each of them I do (something) like described there :
# tar -xvf tarball_filename.tar.gz
# cd tarball_filename
# makepkg --asroot
# mv *.xz ..
# cd ..
# rm -r tarball_filename{,.tar.gz}
And then:
# repo-add customrepo.db.tar.gz *.xz
(I'm staying as root because it's red written to stay as root for the image creation. I think it's stupid, but people make stupid things when they are desesperate. Sorry I didn't take the time to test the code above again, it's only memory, but it was very similar)
I did the same for both architectures (i686 and x86_64), so that my custom repo looks like this:
~/liveusb/customrepo # ls -R
i686 x86_64
./i686:
customrepo.db customrepo.db.tar.gz liblscp-0.5.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz qsampler-0.2.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
./x86_64:
customrepo.db customrepo.db.tar.gz liblscp-0.5.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz qsampler-0.2.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
Oops... I just noticed I did wrong for i686 machines, but it doesn't matter for the moment, since I'm working on an x86_64 machine.
As explained in the tip, I add the following lines to pacman.conf (in the archiso working directory):
[customrepo]
SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
Server = file:///my/path/to/customrepo/$arch
From my point of view, at this point, the USB stick is ready to be updated:
~/liveusb # ./build.sh -v
and then (with /dev/sdf as my usb stick device):
~/liveusb # dd if=out/archlinux-2014.10.01-dual.iso of=/dev/sdf
But when I boot on the USB stick, there's no trace of qsampler (linuxsampler, however, is present).
Since it happened, I'm feeling like a lost, lonely man, on a desert island... Thinking about the "why", the "how"..., the meaning of life..., of package management... all this stuff
I'm sure I did something wrong about the "custom repository", and the main reason is I don't deeply understand all the steps about this; that's why I'm looking for help
Any idea?
Many thanks

Thank you for the reply,
I think I did a more trivial mistake :
With archiso, the packages are automatically installed, from a package list file called "packages.both", and "packages.x86_64", "packages.i686" for architecture dependent packages. But they only use common repos by default. The "'qsampler" is not in official repos (that's why I choosed this one for my question).
So, ok, I setup a common repo (with some mistakes but it was working), BUT...
I just forgot to put the package name in the packages.both file...
So, now that I did it, I just have an error about the package architecture, which I think possible to fix, just by rebuilding the common repo in a correct manner:
~/liveusb # ./build -v
warning: vlc-2.1.5-3 is up to date -- reinstalling
warning: mplayer-37224-2 is up to date -- reinstalling
error: failed to prepare transaction (package architecture is not valid)
:: package qsampler-0.2.3-1-x86_64 does not have a valid architecture
==> ERROR: Failed to install packages to new root

About the static iso image : the idea of building an iso image with all my personnal tools and config already installed on it is very pleasant to me, including the fact that you can burn it on a CD as well. The persistent acpect would be pleasant too, but in a secondary way.
While I'm writing this message I really understand a bit more about all of this, since yesterday... Sometimes, simply posting a message in forums helps you to understand your own problem, because you have to be clear and concise!

[SOLVED]Intel XDK AUR package is not running

Hi,
I have installed Intel-XDK from AUR:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/intel-xdk/
The install completed successfully but when i tried to launch the program by typing intel-xdk or intel-xdk.sh nothing happens. And there is no error message. This is freshly installed 64 bit ArchLinux with PekWM.

Thank you Lone_Wolf for alerting me about the matter. I think it is a problem for some other programs too because someone created an AUR package just for this symlink:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libudev.so.0/
When the package didn't run without any error message i emailed the AUR maintainer. He quickly replied and said he is a developer at Intel and will look into matter when he got free time. I searched the internet but couldn't find a lot of information about it. Then i stumbled upon a thread on Manjaro(https://forum.manjaro.org/index.php?topic=11695.0) forums. In their system AUR package was giving the error of libudev.so.0 not found and suggested to install AUR package libudev.so.0. Installed that and program worked.
What can we do about that beside that symlinking?
Later edit: Also i stumbled upon some post that Intel-Xdk Linux install script looks for a package named gtk2. If your distro's gtk2 package is not named gtk2 it is not installing. Someone created a dummy gtk2 package and fooled the program to run.
Why install scripts from big companies always have problems on Linux? Until today there isn't even one package that haven't given me problems. On the other side installed a lot of Linux distros and %99 of time it went flawlessly.

[solved] list all aur packages installed

Hi,
I'm looking a comman which list all AUR packages installed on my system. Man yaourt or man pacman don't help me (but maybe I missed something).
Is it possible to list these AUR packages ?

yaourt -Q | grep local/
Works for me. I'm sure someone will have a better solution though.

[Solved] Python: Creating AUR package, binary can't find python module

I'm building a PKGBUILD for PyLotRO for the AUR and I'm using a Debian package. I tried just copying the content of the data.tar.gz to the filesystem assuming the directory structure is the same for the packages but apparently it is not. At least I'm figuring this is a filesystem problem but I don't know enough about python to be sure. When I start the program, this is what I'm getting:
pylotro
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pylotro", line 31, in <module>
import PyLotROLauncher.Runner
ImportError: No module named PyLotROLauncher.Runner
I can see the file in the package that (I would think) would be the responsible module:
/usr/share/pyshared/PyLotROLauncher/Runner.py
So I'm thinking the python package must store modules in a different location?????
The package requires: 4suite, python, and pyqt. Any thoughts about what do I need to do here??

How can it be? I mean, i went to the site, it didn't ask me if system was x86 or x86-64, and i installed the proposed extension...
I'm gonna remove and reinstall it.
EDIT: removed extension, restarted firefox, reinstalled extension, restarted firefox -> same as before
how can i get it to install the x86 extension version?
EDIT2: in the plugin dir, i renamed the x64 plugin and created a soft link to the i386 one.

What are the rules for AUR packages that rely on Alien bins [solved]

Hi,
I use ArchLinuxArm and want to create an AUR package that gets binaries from, lets say Fedora ARM, extracts them and modifies the config files in order to make it compatible with the Arch way of Linux. Of course, the PKGBUILD I am going to write will limit installation on the appropriate arcitecture, e.g. armv7h, then.
Is this generally allowed or will my package be deleted after submission to AUR?
Best,
RaumZeit
Last edited by RaumZeit (2013-10-27 01:38:31)

AUR queries should be posted to the aur-general mailing list.
As indicated in the thread linked by Karol above, it is permitted to append unsupported architectures to the arch array of a PKGBUILD that builds on officially supported architectures. That does not necessarily mean that we will allow packages that only build on unsupported architectures. This should be discussed on the mailing list. I have a vague memory of this coming up before and I think the consensus was that such packages would not be supported, but that consensus may have changed. Personally, I do not see a problem with such packages right now and I expect official supported to be extended in the future, so I am in favor of allowing them.
Packages that install pre-compiled binaries should be distinguished from normal packages with a "-bin" suffix. Such packages are permitted as long as they do not violate applicable licenses.

Can't install AUR packages(makepkg: invalid option '--asroot')[SOLVED]

I've been unable to install any AUR packages with either packer or yaourt since a couple days ago possibly after a system update.
For example if I try to install kodi-standalone-service:
sudo packer -S kodi-standalone-service
(Type - y, n, n)
makepkg: invalid option '--asroot'
The build failed.
This happens to all packages I tried including ones that I installed before with the same command. I installed yaourt after I started to get this error but fails just like packer. I tried running as root or normal user with same results.
In case it matters, these are the steps I used to install packer.
I am at a loss as to why it suddenly stopped working, any ideas?

I googled the error with no relevant results, then I searched the forum to make sure it wasn't solved with no relevant results returned for the search term "makepkg: invalid option '--asroot')". It's ironic that you accused me of not searching when you haven't bothered to search the error message yourself. If you had you would know the search does not return useful results until this post.
Sorry, I only searched for --asroot which brought up several relevant threads.
No big deal, but in general you shouldn't post things like "search the forum" as it's rarely helpful, and when it is the thread should probably be closed it those cases anyways...

Any locally generated package is loaded with ...pacman -U....
What do you mean? The package doesn't exist, I double checked it.
Maybe I need to check where yaourt writes it. Any suggestion about what util to use for that?

[SOLVED] yaourt how to update aur packages

Hi!
I got a quick question. I thought that yaourt is able to update old packages installed from Aur automatically.
So for example I type as usually yaourt -Syu --aur but I noticed it doesn't show AUR packages I can update. Only from core/extra/community
For example I just typed:
yaourt yaourt
1 aur/yaourt 0.9.2.6-1 [0.9.2.5-1 installed] (2406)
and see that I can update yaourt. I have other packages installed from AUR, how do I know that a newer version is available without checking it manually?
edit:
so I am happy to mark it as solved. It wasn't a bug, but it is a way how yaourt works.
yaourt -Syu --aur shows packages from core/extra/community.
If I press Y (to install them). It shows a list again with the information how much to download and install and then after pressing "No" to install them, yaourt continues to check AUR packages in this case.
Julien MISCHKOWITZ, the developer said he could change the behavior
Thanks everyone for the attention!

Thank you shining. I have opened a ticket there. Lets wait, I hope they can help!

[Solved] List AUR packages installed and only AUR packages.

Here's a good one. Thought this would be easy but thought it over and then looked around a bit and haven't found anything. There's might just be an easy way to do this that will make me *bonk* my head in the morning but I haven't found it yet. I'm looking to be able to just list the packages I have installed from AUR and not any that I have gotten from the official repos. I've checked out some utilities in AUR (like AURcheck) but as far as I can tell they just look for AUR updates. Anyone know of a way to do this?

I just got to reinstalling and this was a lifesaver - it worked great. Thank for the help, brisbin, ghost, Allan...
@Ghost, I would have used packup but I had a couple downgraded packages and I wanted to be able to troubleshoot it.
The tip about the grep -v doing 'shortnameplus' was a good tip, Profjim. I hadn't read this last post before and during the reinstall I was a bit surprised nvidia wasn't installed so... all is good now.
I created a script to be able to create the backup list and restores from it simliar to ghosts and am able to run it in cron job. Probably not a big deal, but... phhht. Here it is for anyone that can use it:
#!/bin/bash
# pacbac - Create and restore from list all installed packages
# Package list locations (official and local)
pkglsoff=/opt/backup/pc-emach/arch-pkglist-official
pkglsloc=/opt/backup/pc-emach/arch-pkglist-local
# Exclude packages
excldoff=()
excldloc=()
# Use filename as program name
prog=${0##*/}
# Text color variables
bldblu='\e[1;34m' # blue
bldred='\e[1;31m' # red
bldwht='\e[1;37m' # white
txtcyn='\e[0;36m' # cyan
txtund=$(tput sgr 0 1) # underline
txtrst='\e[0m' # text reset
info=${bldwht}*${txtrst}
pass=${bldblu}*${txtrst}
warn=${bldred}!${txtrst}
# If restoring, be sure yaourt is installed
if [[ "$1" == 'r' ]] && [[ -z $(pacman -Qs yaourt) ]]; then
echo ""
echo -e "$warn $prog requires ${txtund}}Yaourt${txtrst} to be installed."
echo -e " ${txtcyn}http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Yaourt${txtrst}"
echo ""
exit
fi
case $1 in
b ) # Create list of official repository packages (core, extra, community)
echo -e "$info Creating list of official (core/extra/community packages) packages installed."
# Create list, remove local, base
pacman -Qqe | grep -vx "$(pacman -Qqg base)" | grep -vx "$(pacman -Qqm)" > "$pkglsoff"
# Create list of local packages (includes the AUR)
echo -e "$info Creating list of local (includes AUR) packages installed."
pacman -Qqm > "$pkglsloc"
echo -e "$pass Official package list saved to ${txtund}"$pkglsoff"${txtrst}"
echo -e "$pass Local package list saved to ${txtund}"$pkglsloc"${txtrst}" ;;
r ) # Update repository database, then restore packages from list
echo -e "$info Installing packages from lists"
sudo pacman -Sy
# use -f to overwrite conflicting files
sudo pacman -S --needed $(cat "$pkglsoff")
# Yaourt doesn't have --needed check
yaourt -S $(cat "$pkglsloc" | grep -vx "$(pacman -Qqm)") ;;
* ) echo -e " pacbac b - build installed packages list. (dir:${txtund}"${pkglsoff%/*}"${txtrst})"
echo -e " pacbac r - restore installed packages from package list." ;;

[SOLVED] can't build an AUR package while installing Arch

So I am nearly there installing Arch for the first time. And I will start with saying that I am really sorry if I missed the answer to my problem but I have had a look around the documentation and the general webz for something regarding this problem and haven't found anything.
I am trying to set my wireless connection up but I apparently need the AUR b43-firmware package installed for my Broadcom BCM4322 [14e4:432b] to be functional.
So I follow the documentation to install an AUR package, but I am stuck at the building stage as makepkg does not allow me to build if I am root, and I am root by default while installing/configuring Arch...
What should I do to build and install that package so I have a wireless connection later on?
Cheers

I am connected to the wired network, and I followed the steps to make it persistent for later, but I just wanted to go through the wireless stuff too to be extra sure I will be able to connect to the Internet later on. As it is the first time I install Arch, I am trying to be extra cautious, and having that security would make me feel more comfortable! Plus, I am keen to learn how to do those things from the command line.
Isn't there a way to switch to a normal user just for a command, and automatically reverting back to root when that action is finished? Just like sudo but the other way round

[Solved] Permissions issues when updating AUR package.

Hi there,
Today i was trying to update some of my AUR packages, but all I got is "Error - all files must have permissions of 644 or 755."
It isn't very clear to me, i've changed all the files/directories permissions and i'm still getting this error so I gave up, i don't know what's going on, i've doing the same package process for a while with no problems.
I can see the SRC file is compressed as root (root/root), I did a fresh Arch install three days ago to use all my hard disk drive (i was dualbooting), so I don't know if that could be the problem, I've changed my user's primary group anyways.
- https://pastebin.osuosl.org/14606/
EDIT*
I don't know why some of my backup files had 400 and 755 persmissions, i changed back to 644, i did it before... and it didn't work...

The source files must have 644 or 755 permissions. In your first paste, the source files have 777 permissions.
