(SOLVED)recent update .pacnew files what to do?

Maybe I'm having a duh! moment but today #pacman -Syu gave me /etc/makepkg.conf and /etc/makepkg.conf.pacnew that are identical.; and /etc/pacman.conf(my edited one) and /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew(like new install file). Can I just delete the .pacnew files and keep the original files?

maybe yes, maybe no!
you need to check every .pacnew, if the .pacnew is identical to the original file, you can remove it.
if it isn't identical, you need to merge this 2 files...
i would like to help you a bit more, but my poor english stop me xD
Sorry, for more info, the wiki

[Solved] A Challenge: Loop meld to update *.pacnew files

I got no secret, I love meld . Does a great job of showing differences alot of times if even scattered all over the page, allows for copy and paste... vimdiff is good but requires a much more keypresses, copy and paste isn't as elegant, and with my fixed drop-down terminal is just too narrow to be able to do it well. So what I usually end up doing is:
find /etc -type f -name "*.pacnew"
and just go through them one at a time:
kdesu meld /etc/config /etc/config.pacnew
I haven't do much work with loops, so I was hoping that someone that knew a little about them that could create a script that would go through them one by one. I suppose this is going to be a little tricker because (I imagine) it's going to have to detect when the windowed instance closes.
From the knowledge I know, I would do:
#!/bin/bash
# etc-update - merge *.pacnew files with original configurations with meld
pacnew=$(find /etc -type f -name "*.pacnew")
for i in $pacnew
do
kdesu meld $i
done
Which isn't going to work very well. Well, I guess it could, but it's going to open them all at once and leave a nice scruched-up taskbar with *.pacnew files. Like to be able to go through them one by one.
Anyone had any experiences at this that could help?

Nice script, bris. If I had know about that before, I'd be using it. Do like the idea of the walk-through process and the saving of the the current one.
lol, I just read your last post and just what I thought about.

Yeah, I saw that on the wiki. Said it was for CLI though so I didn't get to try.
@ lolilolicon, and Procyon
Still learning about pids, what I have seen was more complicated than this. Pretty clever.

Note - untested
Ah, very nice. Also fits into my knowledge of bash. Hadn't thought about just using & but it works great. Had to truncate the file extension and just used a bash filter:
#!/bin/bash
# pacnew-diff - merge *.pacnew files with original configurations with meld
pacnew=$(find /etc -type f -name "*.pacnew")
for config in $pacnew
do
kdesu meld ${config%\.*} $config &
wait
done
Like to be able to do a backup of the current config and then erase the pacnew file afterword, but havn't found out a way to do that without having to type in a password everytime, but, I guess, that can easily be done elsewhere.

Also, on the Archwiki, we are advised to change 'kdesu' to 'gksudo' for GNOME, but I think it should be gksu

You bet your ass, manual intervention is needed. If you try to blindly just merge *.pacnew with original files, it might lead to an unbootable system. Especially when you get pacnew files for /etc/group and /etc/inittab

ITunes Used to Work, After Recent Update, itl file error

I have 2 huge need questions to be answered.
1. First off, my iTunes worked great. Never was anything wrong, went online at my work and downloaded the lastest update to a cd. Brought the cd home and installed it onto my computer. Then I click on the iTunes Program Logo and error: "..itl file cannot be found/created...default located..My Music Folder.." So maybe I moved it, nope there is the itl file right there. Next I descided well maybe I installed it wrong. So I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and the problem still occured. I have check everywhere for my problem, and yes I have found some people who have come accross it. I still don't know whats wrong. Please, if you know anything list me the things I need to do.
2. Second off, my iTunes and computer has never Registered an iPod connect to the computer. All it reads is a iPod Camera in the USB directory. (I own the iPod Touch). How do I get this to work as well.
Thank You,
I hope someone can HELP!

BUMP! Please Help!

[SOLVED] recent update seems to have broken my keyboard

hi guys.
i've just turned on my arch 64 system after updating last night (or possibly the day before...) and when i get to the gdm login the keyboard doesnt work. I can confirm the problem is not with the keyboard itself as i can still edit the boot options in grub. anyone else have this or have i broken something...
thanks in advance,
david
(edit: on screen keyboard doesnt seem to be working either)

I could be wrong, but my understanding is hal would be needed as soon as X starts - so yes it could affect login with gdm. That would also fit with it not working in slim or starting xterm.
If you're pretty sure it's related to the updates it might be helpful to post the parts of pacman.log that are relevant so we can see what exactly got updated.

[Solved] Recent update seems to have broke automount in XFCE

I seem to have managed to break my removable storage support. It had been working since installation several months ago. I have made no modifications to anything in /etc other than those that would be performed by package updates.
Tried copying /etc/skel/.xinitrc to ~/ and added exec dbus-launch ck-launch-session startxfce4.
Checked output of groups to ensure I'm in the storage group.
Checked for presence of org.freedesktop.udisks.pkla:

Hi,
I automount four NFS mounts from my ubuntu server through /etc/fstab. This used to work perfectly. Until the latest filesystem update. The removable devices do not get mounted. They do not appear in Nautilus. But when I plug in a USB, they all get activated.
Anyway, I will try your solution.

What is the max clob length for Forms 6i with most recent updates.

I am trying to determine what the largest clob is that can be handled by Forms 6i with the latest patches installed. I have searched the forum and the help files and have found a bunch of different answers, but nothing useful - nothing current.
I have a record that has a clob field with 28,213 characters (including spaces) or 9902 characters (without spaces). Saved as a text file, it is 29kb.
To read and work with the data in Forms, I have to set the DATA: Maximum Length to 110000, almost 3 times the length of the actual data. I can read and edit the field without problems.
My questions are:
1. what is the maximum size of data in a clob field that will work with Forms 6i and Oracle 10R2 database (Forms with the most recent update)?
2. what is the Maximum Length - It certainly doesn't seem to be character. How do I set this - 3x Actual????
Thanks for the help
Glenn

In theory it should be 64k bytes. In practice its often a bit less than that.

M4b files will not sync after recent update

I recently updated the software on my ipod touch 4th gen. After updating, I tried to sync my playlists, but not all of the files would sync. After some investigation, I figured out that the files that wouldn't sync were audio books in m4b format. They synced just fine before the update. What is the problem here?

Thank you for the response, I have not tried a restore, won't that wipe out everything on the phone? Leaving on vacation and don't have time to start over, I'll have to try this after I get back if the next response does not solve the problem.

Why does this keep popping up five tabs at a time: Index of file:///C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/ - please note that I recently updated firefox and tried disabling plug-ins, etc. My virus software is up to date. Thanks.

The page listed above pops up in a Firefox browser window with five tabs open usually when checking email but sometimes while surfing the net and repeatedly. Some include a 'problem loading page' notice with the following:
Firefox can't find the server at www.xn---jca9qmb.com.
or
Firefox can't find the server at www.xn--dx%if-61a864d.com.
These are the last two of the five tabs that pop up together.
This has happened nine times in the past five to ten minutes.
Since my Norton is up to date and I have recently updated Firefox and plug-ins, I assume this is a software problem however disabling plug-ins and other items has not solved the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi
YES it does, HOWEVER in the past Most (not all) Beta auto updates did not trigger Comodo Firewall problem (BUT occasionally did) and I resolved the same way (namely uninstalling and installing a full install.
I do not know if having Aurora AND BETA both installed causes any conflicts regarding this issue
I am NOW going to uninstall Maintenance service, Beta and Aurora retaining only my add-on and preferences. I will delete all Comodo rules for them Then I will download an older update of both Beta and Aurora and see what happens
Will report back in 30 mins

I have downloaded the most recent updates on my computer to Photoshop and to Bridge and I am still unable to open images in camera raw to edit them. When I try to open the "Camera Raw Preferences" in Bridge, nothing happens. Could this be a problem with my computer and not the software? Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated.

Sorry, I cannot take your word for your "the most recent updates". Very often users think they have the latest and greatest and it turns out they are wrong.
Please specify EXACT version numbers.
Also, more info is needed.

If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.
