[SOLVED] Question about new pacman upgrade

The release notes ay that "Installing package with -U is now smart like -S — dependencies and conflicts are now handled"
So, if I am understanding this correctly... when I am installing something from the AUR, I only need "makepkg -i", instead of "makepkg -si"?

No, you will still need to install dependencies to build a package.    But if you used "makepkg -sr" to make sure you have removed the unneeded makedepends, then you can use "pacman -U <pkg>" to get the runtime depends back.

  • [SOLVED] Question about CPU temperature

    Hi everybody,
    I just want to ask a question about "standard" CPU temperatures because my laptop (a Dell Vostro 3700) is permanently hot with the fans on even when I am not doing anything special.
    I have CPU freq scaling active with the conservative governor, and I use Gnome Shell 3.2 with an nVidia using the nouveau driver.
    Here are "stable" temperatures while writing this post:
    # sensors
    acpitz-virtual-0
    Adapter: Virtual device
    temp1: +72.5°C (crit = +103.0°C)
    nouveau-pci-0100
    Adapter: PCI adapter
    temp1: +78.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +110.0°C)
    coretemp-isa-0000
    Adapter: ISA adapter
    Core 0: +73.0°C (high = +95.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
    Core 2: +73.0°C (high = +95.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
    And this is the output of mpstat
    # mpstat -P ALL
    Linux 3.1.6-1-ARCH (fm) 01/04/2012 _x86_64_ (4 CPU)
    10:16:50 PM CPU %usr %nice %sys %iowait %irq %soft %steal %guest %idle

    10:16:50 PM 0 1.88 0.15 0.72 0.02 0.00 0.01 0.00 0.00 97.22
    10:16:50 PM 1 1.64 0.21 0.40 0.02 0.00 0.01 0.00 0.00 97.73
    10:16:50 PM 2 1.47 0.15 0.67 0.02 0.00 0.06 0.00 0.00 97.64
    10:16:50 PM 3 1.36 0.20 0.39 0.02 0.00 0.01 0.00 0.00 98.01
    The fan, of course, is full speed (very annoying)
    I think that these temperatures are quite high, but I don't know what's really causing all this heating because my laptop is basically idle.
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks.
    P.S.: Running Linux fm 3.1.6-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Dec 22 09:11:48 CET 2011 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 430 @ 2.27GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

    After (after playing 8 min youtube video)

    Fan spinning is better (less noisy) after specifying the kernel parameters.

  • [SOLVED] Question about resolv.conf

    I successfully configured my Arch box with a static IP by following the instructions on the Arch wiki page here but had a couple of questions about configuring /etc/resolv.conf:
    1) What is the proper way to obtain the domain name that should be inserted into resolv.conf?
    2) What exactly is this domain name used for?  I read the man page but still don't really understand it.  Why do I need a domain name if I already have a working set of nameservers to resolve IP addresses?
    EDIT: @ewaller Yes I edited the OP because I realized that my original problem was that I just hadn't added a domain name in my resolv.conf file.  I edited my original post because 1) the instructions are already posted clearly on Arch Wiki so my post really wouldn't be beneficial and 2) so I could ask my real question without making other people waste their time reading through my other nonsense

    Yes, I know how to get a nameserver, but I'm asking about the domain name that goes in resolv.conf.  The Arch wiki tutorial for setting up static IP uses the following resolv.conf as an example:
    nameserver 61.23.173.5
    nameserver 61.95.849.8
    search example.com
    My question has to do with what the "search example.com" does.  I don't have a domain name associated with my machine, but if I remove that line, then I get "web page unavailable" when I try to load any web site, which suggests that I'm not connecting to any nameservers right?

  • [SOLVED] Question about GCC error messages.

    I'm currently taking a course in C programming, and I have  a question about the error messages returned by GCC.
    When ever i try to compile a program containing syntax errors, i get cryptic and not very helpfull error messages.
    If i try to compile:
    #include <stdio.h>
    int main(void)
    int i;
    i = 0
    return 0;
    I get following from GCC:
    error.c: In function â:
    error.c:8:2: error: expected â before â
    But shouldn't the message be something like:
    error.c: In function 'main':
    error.c:8:2: error: expected ; before 'return'
    or am I mistaken?

    Woah. That is very strange. I've never seen that before.
    I assume you're using Arch Linux. What text editor did you use to write the code? Which terminal application are you using?
    ...those questions are probably unrelated to the problem, but we might as well get them out of the way.

  • Satellite U405D - Several questions about overheat/disassembly/upgrade etc.

    Hi there,
    I have several questions about my one year old Satellite U405D-S2910
    1- When it works, after 2-3 hours (I usually run small programs like safari, msn messenger and bsplayer) CPU gets 85-90 C (178-188 F). When I play Age of Empires 2 (Come on, its an ancient game) like 2-3 hours it shuts down itself. What could be the possible reason?? By the way, let me inform you about the climate of the town I live, temp 30C - humidity 25-35% (nowadays).
    ps. Cpu= AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Processor. Model, RM-74
    2- I'm going to disassemble my laptop in order to clean its cooling units (I think reason of overheating is this). It doesnt seem like a desktop, so complicated. Ive seen a step-by-step disassembly(btw, its so hard to spell disassembly:) I think Im going to do this. What are your suggestions about it? any experiences could help me?
    3- My laptops Ram memory consists of 2X2GB PC5300 DDR2 667 MHz SDRAM, I want to replace it to 2x2GB MACH XTREME DDR2 1333MHZ CL9 NOTEBOOK RAM. Should I do it? Does it fit my laptop, work stable? any suggestions?
    ps. mainboard chipset AMD M780V
    4- finally :) , Should I use 64 bit OS or 32 bit OS (win7)? what OS would you use if you were me?
    Thank you.

    Hi buddy,
    1+2. I think everything is related to a higher internal temperature and you should clean your notebook using compressed air spray. Therefore its not necessary to disassemble it, just blow gently and shortly the air through the notebook. You can buy such compressed air spray from every computer store I think and it takes only 5 minutes.
    You can find an useful article about this here:
    3. In my opinion you should forget this update! The RAM speed is related to FSB of CPU and as far as I know on Satellite U405D its 667MHz so its already the fastest RAM that you can have. Save your money and buy a bigger HDD or in best case an SSD that can really improve the performance!
    4. In my opinion the answer is clear: Windows 7 64bit.
    Only a 64bit OS support full 4GB RAM. ;)

  • [solved] Questions about pacman -Qk and -Qkk output.

    I was looking through the pacman manual today to see if there was anything I could add to a some Arch maintenance scripts I've been working on and came across -Qk which, among other things, lists missing files. I ran pacman -Qk in terminal and found a few package installations were missing files. I reinstalled them manually check again and the files were no longer missing. The first package I saw that was missing a file was gnome-command-center for instance.
    So I really have two questions.
    1) Is it normal for packages to have missing files?
    2) Is it a good idea to reinstall these packages to replace the missing files.
    I then ran pacman -Qkk, and got even more disturbing information such as modification time mismatches and size mismatches.

    I'm assuming all of those are bad. "Warning" rarely sounds friendly, though for those files I've modified myself, such as passwd, shadow, and group, its okay. I assume I can fix msot of these by running # pacman -S {package}?

     Awk processes the output from pacman, splits it using [white]space[⁣s] as delimiter and prints only first field $1, which is the package name. Those reoccur if several files are involved, so just to be sure, I also used awks sort, maybe that could be skipped or alternatively sort command outside awk used instead. This sorted output gets fed into uniq, which outputs only unique strings coming from input. And that leaves you with the package list.
    Edit: I think those are whitespaces actually, which if I recall correctly include space.
    Edit2: So this might be better and certainly a little faster:
    pacman -S $(pacman -Qkq | awk '{print $1}' | uniq)
    # And this should be even faster, since the output pacman
    # delivers seems to be sorted anyway. Should you parse
    # something else, use my first suggestion instead.
    pacman -Qkq | awk 'BEGIN{ y=0; }; {x=$1; if (x == y){ next; }; print $1; y=x;}'
    Edit3: Out of curiosity I tested different methods measuring execution time with a input file consisting out of 1443 lines from pacman -Qkkq. Here are the results and the bottom is the test script.

     The awk internal sorting is the slowest method, but it seems it initializes longer, since there appears to be a constant difference between internal and external sorting. Uniq fed by awk is faster with smaller loops, but gets slower if repeated more often, yet overall remain fastest with the unique function I used within awk. It appears the more lines the input has, the slower uniq in comparison uniq in awk gets. Here is the testing script:
    #!/bin/bash
    LOOPS=('10' '20' '50' '100' '200' '500' '1000' '2000' '5000' '10000' '20000' '50000');
    rm /tmp/results*.log
    echo $(date), Generating input file;
    pacman -Qkkq > /tmp/input.txt
    for LOOP in ${LOOPS[@]}; do
    START=$(date +%s);

  • [SOLVED] Question about Warzone-SVN revision upgrade method

    Hi all,
    I have installed warzone-svn from AUR using yaourt. My question is simple, how do I upgrade when the next revision in svn repository is out?
    Do I upgrade using
    # yaourt -Syu
    or is there something else i will have to do?
    Regards,
    J0sh
    Last edited by j0sh (2010-06-16 11:08:34)

    Just a useful note for anyone else interested in this thread. Using the above mentioned solution works, but it is slower as the building takes place in /tmp directory by default. This means that everytime you attempt to upgrade your revision, all the files will be downloaded all over again and saved somewhere in /tmp, and these files will be purged when your build is completed.
    To make building much faster, the solution would be to have all the files downloaded in another directory, so that yaourt does not purge all the files used for building, and only downloads any changed files. Have a look at this topic on the forum for what sort of directory to create.

  • [Solved] Questions about Arch on T420s

    Hello everybody,
    I'm relatively new to Arch and switched from Ubuntu last year. Since then I've learned a lot about Linux in general due to the great documentation provided by the Arch community.
    I've managed to install Arch on my Thinkpad T420s with an UEFI Setup using Archboot. But still there are open questions.
    My first question is about the UEFI System partition and grub2. Should the UEFI partition be mounted to the filesystem? What about updating Grub2 (eg for setting boot parameters) when the UEFI System partition is not mounted to the filesystem. Up to now I've set boot parameters by manually mounting the UEFI partition and editing the Grub2's menu.lst equivalent. I think this is not optimal.
    My second question is about some graphical artifacts in Gnome 3. The T420s uses Intel HD 3000 Graphics. Sometimes icons in nautilus disapear or get replaced by black planes when hovering over them with the mouse cursor. Similar black planes replacing icons can be observed sometimes in Evolution or Rhythmbox. Furthermore gnome-terminal becomes transparent sometimes when I'm scrolling or switching between powertop2 tabs. Anyone else observed similar issues on their T420s or on other models with an Intel HD 3000? I use several options for the i915 driver but none of them seem to be related to the graphical artifacts. Furthermore I've disabled dVT in the BIOS.
    options i915 modeset=1
    options i915 i915_enable_rc6=1
    options i915 i915_enable_fbc=1
    options i915 lvds_downclock=1
    options i915 semaphores=1
    My last question is about the USB ports on my T420s. I've 3 USB ports, one on the left side (USB2.0) and two (USB3.0 and another USB2.0) on the back side. When I plug in a HD on the left side everything works fine and the filesystem is automatically mounted. When I plug in the same HD on the ports of the back side the HD isn't even recognized. Interestingly when i boot with the HD plugged into the back side ports everything works fine. Can you point me any directions how to solve this problem?
    Hopefully sombody using Arch on a T420s has already solved these issues and could share the solutions. Otherwise I would be grateful for any suggestions.
    Sincerely yours,
    Tobsen
    Last edited by tobsen (2012-02-09 17:15:27)

    Hi Tobsen, I have a T420 also. Perhaps my experiences will be some help?
    Regarding the USB ports: I installed Arch on my T420 with the Kernal 3.0.3 snapshot and all the USB ports worked out of the box. That sounds like a problem with udev to me, though. Have you checked the wiki article on this?
    Regarding the graphical artifacts: For me, when a popup window appears from hovering the mouse over an icon, the window is sometimes blank grey. It's totally inconsistent, and I can fix it by just hovering over it again, so I haven't really bothered to examine the source of the problem. Could this be related to your problem with the GPU? I figured it was a problem with the windows manager I'm using (Enlightenment e17), which is unstable.
    Regarding UEFI: I don't use GRUB2, so this may not be good advice, but I personally feel like you should avoid auto-mounting partitions you don't always need. It slows down boot, and if the partition is mounted, user error could damage it. I say you should keep doing what you're doing.

  • Questions about New Macbook Pro

    1.  I've heard this system gets hot, but is it only when gaming?  I'll mostly be using this for web/chat and photo editing but am wondering if my legs would start to get warm or sweat by using it in say bed.
         1a.  Can you keep the machine on your lap while playing games like World of Warcraft?
         1b.  Do only parts of the laptop get hot, keeping where you place your hand or more importanly wrist(left 'awsd' keys) cool?
    2.  How much battery life do you get on average watching a movie(iTunes download or dvd) or just chatting/web?
    3. I'd like to say money doesn't matter in this purchase but it does have an effect.  Which are smart upgrades and which are things to stay away from?
         3a.  2.2GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7 or 2.3GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7
         3b. 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm or 128GB Solid State Drive (Yes, I have read about a lot of the current SSD drives failing)
         3c. MacBook Pro 15-inch Hi-Res Glossy Widescreen Display  or MacBook Pro 15-inch Hi-Res Antiglare Widescreen Display
    4.  Is it smarter to buy Office and other products with the purchase of this Mac or can they be found for the same/lower price after it arrives?
    5.  Do most get the AppleCare Protection Plan?  And if you have used it how good is the service?
    6.  Parallels or VMware Fusion?
    Sorry for all the questions and/or the long read..  I've done a good bit of looking around for a new laptop and this one keeps popping up as a good choice.  If it wasn't for the machine getting hot I might have already bought it. 
    Thanks in advance for all of your help!
    Dan

    AppleCare is NOT insurance.  Insurance implies coverage with user accidents.  AppleCare does not give this kind of insurance.  It does give you warranty, which means any manufacturer defects it can detect that are not obviously usage, wear and tear.  In addition, it gives you unlimited support for one flat fee for both Apple software issues and hardware issues related to the machine it is bought for.  What this sort of support includes, is diagnosing any issues which may arise with the machine, and repairing any that are manufacturer defects.  Other repairs will be at cost.
    To answer your other questions:
    2.  How much battery life do you get on average watching a movie(iTunes download or dvd) or just chatting/web?
    Movies, the maximum is probably around 2 hours on DVD, 3 to 4 hours from iTunes. The difference is that the DVD requires constant read from the optical drive, and decoding of the movie.  With iTunes it is just the decoding.
    3. Solid state drives are still in their infancy, and current documentation says that sensitive information should not be put on them.  The problem is that there is no way to 100% erase the data on them.  Antiglare screens are really the only way to do photography and capture the real color of what you are photographing.  Yes, the glossy gives you truer blacks, but the glare you get offsets that benefit if there is anything beyond ambient light in the room.
    4. Office is the same price either way.  You get a demo version of Office when you buy your Mac.  But unless you have a pressing need for 100% compatibility of Office documents, and can deal with the occasional hiccup (I've had none), http://www.neooffice.org/ can handle Excel, Powerpoint, and Word documents without issue.  If you find you can't get what you need from that, then invest in Office.  But at least give Neo Office, and http://docs.google.com/ a change before jumping into more costly versions of Office applications.
    6. A great comparison of all the virtualization engines is here:

  • Questions about OC and upgrading my 790FX-GD70

    Hey Guys,
    So Ive had this board for a while now (790FX-GD70) and am looking to throw some new parts on it, I want to throw the 1100T CPU on there (Unless MSI wisens up and enables AM3+ like they did for other boards) and was to throw in some 1600 or 1800 ram, Ive got a couple concerns though.
    1. Ive never updated the bios on thsi board (I think its 3.04), frankly Im not a huge fan of doing it and avoid it unless I absolutely have to, will I need to update the bios to throw in a thuban?
    2. The boards specs say that the board supports 1600/1800 member but only OC'd, so that means I need to OC the FSB right? But Im not sure how much overclocking this boards FSB can actually handle, if Im not mistaken for 1600 it will need to be 2400-2600 and even higher for 1800 memory. Can the board handle it? Will I have some major FSB heat issues?
    2a. What do I need to overclock? Do I need to increase the bus speed or the fsb multiplier? What voltage do I need to set for the FSB at thoes speeds?
    2b. Bus speed affects cpu clock as wel ldoesnt it? so if I boost the bus then do I have to throttle back the multiplier?
    My goal is to have the 1100t running at around 4gz and the memory will either be 1600 or 1800, it depends what I find with good timings at a decent price.
    Thanks guys!

    The Guide will come in handy. I have an 790FX-GD70 that I have done plenty of OC settings with my original Phenom II X3 720BE, and now my X6 1090T.
    Overclocking is a trial and error project. When you get a better understanding about the effects of Overclocking you will learn that it's about stability with an overclock, and not setting records. Well.. unless record setting is a part you want to play with. Stability.. there are programs to test you overclock. Many of them, some available here in downloads. Prime, Futuremark, OCCT.. choices to help you test for stability. Play safe, step by step.. that way you avoid damaging your system. There are a lot of Overclock examples on the net. Search the board and overclock. The board is now a couple of years old.. but it was a hot.. overclock board. You can find it even with your CPU as examples to learn from.
    Here's one for you.. you'll learn! You stated 1600-1800 memory speeds. OK, it's an overclock. But, the question is? Do you get a gain? Is 1800 really quicker than 1333? The number is bigger. 1600, or 1800 is bigger than 1333, or 1066. So, it must mean it's better and faster, right? Well.... if you compare reads and writes between 1333 and 1600 the gain is little or none. There are different CPU crunch uses. Like burning video or playing a game. Different demands, different setting results. The AM3 CPU is made for 1333. In some Overclocks because of timings... 1066 could offers quicker results than 1600. It's trial and tests. Not just CPU but Memory and more make an Overclock. Welcome to Overclocking. It's fun and done within limits... you will get more out of what you have. Me.. my best Overclock to date? Results I see from my 790FX-GD70? I have run 3.8 stable... and my SSD's are a better OC than tweaking my speeds. Both together... I have amid OC and am very happy.
    Good Luck

  • [SOLVED] Question about Saving Cached Packages

    Hey Guys,
    I've got a couple of systems running Arch right now, and have a 3rd that I was thinking about setting up this weekend. The second of the 2 I already have is very recent and I haven't cleared out the package cache yet. If I were planning on installing the same applications on the next system, could I just save the package files in /var/cache/pacman to a CD or something and just copy them back to the new system once I have the CORE installed? I figure this would save an hour or so of downloading, which would be nice. If it is possible, is there anything else I need to have aside from the packages themselves (ie. is there like a header file somewhere)?
    Thanks!

    Well - it could work - or it might not. Better solution is to make another repository using your recent packages.
    Try to write this to your /etc/pacman.conf:
    [name_of_your_own_repo]
    Include = /path_to_your_own_repo
    I haven't tried it personally, but it should work. If it will prefer packages from other repos (community, extra), then write it somewhere above other repos in /etc/pacman.conf or use pacman -S name_of_your_own_repo/package
    You should read about Pacman at Arch-wiki to know more about making your own repository before you will decide to try it.
    Either way, write your experience here, please, I'd want to know if it works or not

  • *Solved* Question about ATI Drivers

    Ok, I'm just finished installing, and I know most distro's, ask you to remove the open source drivers, before adding in FGLRX  drivers.  Looking at the wiki, I didn't noticed if this needed to be done, and after going through the install, I rebooted.  It went as planned until kdm went to load.  The screen was unreadable.  I used the cd media to mount root, and removed catalyst, and re-installed the opensource drivers.  All is well atm, so I'm trying to figure out what I missed.  My question atm though is during the FGLRX install, it ask's if you want to removed the opensource drivers due to conflict.  If I hit yes, will pacman it automatically remove the required drivers, or do I need to manually remove the Fx86 drivers on my own?
    I do apologize for not having a /etc/X11/xorg.conf report, as it slipped my mind while fixing everything. I'll try to make a better habbit of getting it made. I did do a aticonig --inital before the reboot, so i know it won't that.
    If I missed anything on the wiki, please let me know, I'll look again at it after dinner.
    Thank you all for  your time in the matter.

    Hi there
    First off, which installation method are you following? (ABS using the AUR package, the unofficial repository or the AMD installer). Depending on which method you use, you'll have (or not) a resolved dependency. For instance, you have to remove both the open source driver and your former xorg.conf file (safer is to back it up) to be able to install Catalyst with the AMD's site installer.
    If you use AUR (with a tool like Yaourt for example) or the repo method, pacman/yaourt should do it for you, but in a lot of cases it doesn't (I switched to Catalyst having my OpenBox session built already, so when I tried to remove the open source driver it complained about all of the apps that I had installed for removing a dependency like libgl or mesa) and you'll have to do a pacman -Rdd xf86-video-ati to make it work
    I'm wondering if you remembered to add the mkinitcpio hook (which is needed to make Catalyst work).
    What I would suggest is to re-read the wiki page for Catalyst, see if your card is still supported by Catalyst, maybe your card needs Catalyst-Legacy...
    Best of Luck with that
    I figured it out, and got it working.  I had a typo adding the module for flgxr driver.  Fixed it and a soft boot later, all is well.  I also deicided to make it so I have to "startx" into my gui, incase this happens again, I won't need the installation media.  Thanks for the input.

  • [SOLVED]Questions about e17-svn

    I installed e17-svn and e17-extra-svn from commouty repo,it's beautiful...and buggy.It creates several desktop icons for my partitions,i deleted that from Desktop and .e/e/fileman/favorites folder,but they appear again the next time i login.Firefox and thunar freeze many times as well,and the most unacceptable thing is that i can't logout,every time i try logout,the e17 hangs there forever and i have to restart x myself.I use kdm4 as the login manager,and i try slim as well,the problem remain.Anybody knows how to solve those problems?Thanks.

    WTF, Something weird going on here.  It used to be #pacman -S e-cvs and you got a perfectly useable e17 desktop.  I just tried to #pacman -S e17-svn and it says no such package or group so there must be some changes goin' on as a #pacman -S e-cvs gets you nowhere now.  Be patient, though--I say to myself
    I'll bet pressh is on the job!  Hmmm... I don't recall seeing any announcement about a big change in getting enlightenment in arch.  Maybe I missed something?
    Edit:  I guess I did miss something.  Searching the forums brings me this: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/E17 from a post in 2008-07-03 http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=51202
    I'm beginning to feel like Rip Van Winkle
    Edit:  I just did a #pacman -Syu on my x86_64 machine and it asked if I wanted to replace e-cvs with e-svn stuff so I did and sofar no probs.  Sorry ashunter, you might have other issues.  I use gdm on my desktop and slim on my laptop and no probs logging in or shutting down here.
