If you ever want to know the available version of a package in a repo: first, make sure you add the repo to your pacman.conf. Then re-sync pacman with -Sy or -Syy. Then search for the package in question with pacman -Ss:
pacman -Ss kdemod-complete
Also try pacman -Si <pkgname> for more details.
man pacman for more.

  • [SOLVED]sudo pacman -R NameOfApplication...

    Whenever I install an app from the repo, I just type
    sudo pacman -S theApplication,
    Then it downloads the application, checks the integrity of the downloads and install the application.
    Whenever I remove an app, I just type
    sudo pacman -R theApplication
    Then it just removes the applications.
    But whenever I want to install the removed app again after a while by doing sudo pacman -S the Application,
    it does not download the application but directly starts installing this. This means that the application is somewhere on the hard drive. Therefore I want to know how I can remove an app completely. => next time when I want to install the app again, it should download it again, check the integrity and install it.
    How can I do it pro App individually? What I do now is I just sudo pacman -Syu => It then updates the complete system. After this the downloaded but deinstalled app is really gone.
    Any ideas?

    It just installs the still existing pkg file on your hard drive. Feel free to delete it from /var/cache/pacman/pkg. Else use ABS, this will always download a new source tarball.
    Or...
    man pacman
    With -Sc you can remove unused packages...

  • [SOLVED] Weird pacman issue with wine

    Good Morning Community,
    I'm on X86_64. I've just brought a system out of the ground from a differnt distro. Arch is up and running well.
    Then when I went to install wine .....pacman is giving me a strange error. Here is a cut n paste from the terminal
    //-----------------Begin cut n pasted text
    [dcbdbis@Curly-Sr ~]$ sudo pacman -S wine
    error: 'wine': could not find or read package
    [dcbdbis@Curly-Sr ~]$
    //----------------- End cut n pasted text
    I am using one mirror in the pacman.d/mirrorlist:
    //----------------Begin cut n pasted text
    Server = http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
    //---------------- End cut n pasted text
    And in using pacman to list packages, here is what I get
    //----------------Begin cut n pasted text
    [dcbdbis@Curly-Sr ~]$ sudo pacman -Sl|grep wine
    community winefish 1.3.3-9
    community winegame 0.2.0-1
    community winestuff 0.2.0-1
    community winetricks 20101222-1
    [dcbdbis@Curly-Sr ~]$
    //---------------- End cut n pasted text
    Google returns nothing. And I've not found it in the forums, at least the ones I've been able to read in the last three hours.
    Does anyone have any idea what's happening?
    Ideas on what I can do to find out what's happening?
    Help will be greatly appreciated!
    Sincerely and respectfully,
    Dave...........

  • [SOLVED]When pacman is updating linux-headers and linux, catalyst-hook

    Hello-
    I wanted this to be out there on the web so that people could find it.  I'm not sure if this could be considered a 'bug' for catalyst hook or for.. something, or if it is expected behavior.
    I ran pacman -Suy on my system today, and ran into errors about catalyst hook failing.
    Closer inspection indicated that it was trying to build based on headers of the version of linux that had just been removed, but the new linux headers hadn't been installed yet (after the hooks ran, then the linux-headers were installed)
    If you see this error during an upgrade, to resolve the issue simply run mkinitcpio -p linux after the install completes.
    Below you can see log/errors/progression

    Karol-
    That thread doesn't seem to be closed, and the thread it points to doesn't appear to really have a solution either, unless i'm missing something.
    clfarron4;
    I have this service running, but was concerned by the error message that i wouldn't have gui (and would have to drag out my laptop to do troubleshooting) upon reboot.  Next time I will let it be and make sure the service works correctly
    That said, I _did_ fix the distrust (or in this case non-rememberance) by running mkinitcpio -p linux.  Initial post has this detail in it.

  • [SOLVED] sudo password is normal acct password..

    Hey I'm very new to arch linux, and linux in general. Im a little confused about the following:
    when I am logged in as my normal user account and input a command via sudo (ie sudo pacman...) it asks for password, but when I give it the password for my root account it won't accept it. However it does accept my password for my normal user account.  Im pretty confused about this :S
    heres some info (if it helps):

    If you want to actually switch to your root account try 'su' instead of 'sudo' (su = switch user; sudo = switch user, do once). su can actually be used for any user, but it does default to root.
    Edit: Oops... little slow on the response that time... Eh, having a baby around will distract you sometimes

    He wasn't in system update, so i download it from git : git clone git://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git pacman
    sh ./autogen.sh
    ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --enable-doc
    make -j8
    sudo make install
    And now, i got this error
    sudo pacman -Syu
    error: no usable package repositories configured.
    I backup my /etc/pacman.conf and use the new one like this topic : https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 7#p1254497
    I check the version :
    Pacman v4.1.0 - libalpm v8.0.0
    I try to upgrade my DB
    sudo /usr/local/bin/pacman-db-upgrade
    ==> ERROR: /usr/local/var/lib/pacman/ is not a pacman database directory.
    The only solution i found right now is reinstalling arch linux o.0
    Thanks for you help.

    Why would you do that? Why would you not use pacman to upgrade/install pacman, or any other package for that matter?
    Honestly, this was such a bad idea that I'm finding it difficult to keep myself from berating you with inappropriate language (some of which I instinctively blurted out when I read your post).

    pacman-db-upgrade is a transition tool to convert pacman 3.x databases to pacman 4.x databases. Is there some guide that told you to use that to update the database?
    I pride myself on trying to be helpful on the forum, but you do not seem to have any idea of how package management works on Arch Linux. This is all covered in the wiki and on the forum. I really do not mean to be rude, but I believe that you would be better off with something else as you seem to just be naively trying random shit.
    If you really want to clean up the mess that you've made, uninstall the manually installed pacman, remove whatever AUR apps you have installed that prevent you from upgrading via pacman, then rebuild and re-install those apps after the upgrade.
    I also suspect that you are using Archbang or some other distro given that you seem to be new to the distro yet already have yaourt installed. If this is the case then you should direct yourself to their forum. This forum is for Arch Linux.

  • [SOLVED] sudo trouble

    Hi,
    newly installed sudo isn't working properly:
    $ sudo shutdown -r now
    [sudo] password for me:                                                                                                                                 
    Sorry, user me is not allowed to execute '/sbin/shutdown -r now' as root on mybox.
    $                                                         $
    Curiously, sudo honors pacman, for instance:
    $ sudo pacman -Syu
    as specified in visudo:
    root ALL=(ALL) ALL
    %wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL
    %users ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/pacman
    %users ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/pacman-color
    %users ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/pacdiffviewer
    Any ideas?

    Thanks, WorMzy!
    # gpasswd -a me wheel
    is the soluiton.
    By the way, the groups part as a step has vanished from the Beginner's Guide, which is supposed to be a step-by-step instruction. Perhaps 'be sure to consult' remark would be better than 'for more information'.

  • Ruined Everything [Sudo pacman -S glibc --force]

    I'm new so sorry if i commit any mistake in written at forums, my last post a member call me attention from writthen in capital letter, is like i shout to someone.
    So i believe i ruined my arch, because i wrote on terminal:
    Sudo pacman -S glibc --force
    My inttention was to update glib, so wine can work, so i believe using --force was a simple way to update it.
    So nothing is opening right now, i believe if i restart the system it will not open anymore.
    Any solution, i appreciate
    sorry if i dont make my self clear

    There were numerous posts on this and even front page news with instructions. I believe you were specifically instructed NOT to use force. Try searching here for a solution, but you may have indeed borked your install.

  • Where is the complete list of what does and doesn't get backed up on iOS?

    I found a webpage from Macworld pointing to Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support as giving a complete list of what does and does not get backed up in the iPhone backup.  This page must have changed since it no longer contains this information.  I am aware of the basics like text messages, voice memos, pictures you haven't synced from iTunes via iPhoto and Aperture, but I want the definitive complete list.
    As to the why, Apple support is telling me the only way to solve a bug in Messaging on my new iPhone 6 plus where photos are no longer displaying is to restore my phone and not restore the backup (this does work while testing).  I want to know what I am losing when I do this.  Of course I have all my photos already in iPhoto/Aperture, and I realize I have to give up all Text Message History apparently, but I want to check the exhaustive list.
    Thanks.

    Try this one. Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes - Apple Support

  • After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update, I can no longer access the itunes store and my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this?

    After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update I can no longer acces the itunes store nad my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this?  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled windows updates. I have checked the firewall settings. what else?

    The problem is with version 10.4.1.  I had to reload 10.3 to get it to work.  The recommendation from a previous poster worked for me.  Here was their list of steps:
    Go to Control Panel>Programs>Uninstall
    2.  Uninstall the following Apple programs in the following order:
         a. iTunes
         b. QuickTime
         c. Apple Software Update
         d. Apple Mobile Devices Support
         e. Bonjour
         f.  Apple Appllcation Support
    3.  Reboot PC
    4.  Find, Download and Install iTunes 10.3 (you can find it at FileHippo.com)
    If you start iTunes now you will get an error message saying that the current iTunes library was created by a newer version of iTunes.  To correct this:
    5.  Go to your Music>iTunes folder and delete the "iTunes Library.itl" database file
    6.  Within this iTunes folder find and open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and locate the most recently dated "iTunes Library (date).itl" database file.
    7.  Copy and Paste this file back into the iTunes folder
    8.  Rename this "iTunes Library (date).itl" file by removing the date.  It should say "iTunes Library.itl"
    9.  Reboot PC
