[SOLVED] Trying to install Octave, gcc-fortran dep. doesn't install

I've been trying to install Octave.
I've found that down the dependency chain that gcc-fortran is giving me the classic mutlilib conflict error:
gcc-libs and gcc-libs-multilib are in conflict. Remove gcc-libs-multilib? [y/N] n
Does the package need to be fixed? Or does it really depend on the non-multilib version of gcc stuff? Any tips would be appreciated, I'd prefer to fix PKGBUILD and makepkg if I can instead of doing a uninstall/reinstall ballet.
Thanks!
SOLVED:
I had my multilib repository commented out in my pacman.conf
Embarassing whoops.

FTP ISOLINUX worked perfectly for me!
I ran into this problem at first, however:
failed to mount /dev/sr0
:scanning usb drives
failed to mount /dev/sda1
attempt to access beyond end of device
sda2: rw=0, want=4, limit=2
ext2-fs: unable to read superblock
failed to mount /dev/sda2
failed to mount /dev/sda5
failed to mount /dev/sda6
failed to mount /dev/sda1
error: cannot find boot device, can not continue
falling back to interactive prompt
But that was caused by the usb drive that I half-ways made into an bootable device. Removing it allowed me to continue on with to the Arch config window.
Thanks you all for your input and help. It was because of you that I have a fully Arch home environment! Good luck with all of your future endeavors, you guys!

That is weird, since gcc-libs-multilib provides gcc-libs and should not lead to any removal.
try pacman -S multilib-devel

[SOLVED] Trying to install Arch Linux from harddisk using /dev/sda2

Hi
I'm trying to install Arch using my swap partition, following this wiki entry: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ha … stallation
What I've done:
Downloaded ISO: archlinux-2010.05-netinstall-i686.iso
Command: swapoff /dev/sda2
Command: fdisk /dev/sda and changed the system type to 83 (Linux) on /dev/sda2
Now it looks like:

It complained about device was busy, but it still seemed to have changed the system type, so I did partprobe as it wrote.

The wiki page says to type: fsck -f /dev/sda2fsck, but I get no such file while trying to open sda2fsck.

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
Can I ignore the above and continue modifying grub?
Thanks :-)

fsck -f /dev/sda2fsck makes no sense because /dev/sda2fsck is not a deivce. If the wiki says that, then it is wrong. It's only doing a fsck anyway so probably not really needed. If you are just formatting th swap partition then use, mkfs.ext{234}.

[SOLVED] Trying to install yaourt and cairo-lcd but says Error

I was trying to install cairo-lcd manually as I usually do from aur when after building and trying to install I get
error: package "cairo-lcd-1.8.8-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz" not found
Thought there may be a problem with it so tried going down the yaourt route but trying to install that gives the same thing.
I cd into the folder as normal build it then pacman -Q as root.
I admit it's been a while since I installed anything from aur but done it plenty of times to know what to do....am I missing something blindingly obvious?
Last edited by Andy Mack (2010-02-02 21:54:32)

I did that so cairo-lcd would install, the problem I am having is pacman -Q* doesn't find the tar.gz to install
[root@Arch andy]# cd /home/andy/yaourt
[root@Arch yaourt]# pacman -Q yaourt-0.9.2.6-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
error: package "yaourt-0.9.2.6-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz" not found

its the same with cairo-lcd

I've been running Arch on what used to be my main computer for over a year now, and I recently built a new box. I already have Windows 8.1 installed on it. However, when I try to boot up the Arch install disk to set up a dual boot, I get the following errors:

After this, the cursor stops blinking and nothing else happens.
I am using UEFI, however I booted the disk using AHCI as well and got the same error, so I don't believe that its causing the problem.
I downloaded the ISO from the torrent link on the Arch downloads page, checked the "verify contents" box in Windows when I burned the disk, and tried burning the ISO on a different disk.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Have you searched for info on Linux support of the controller?
Thanks for the response.
I searched for the things you wrote. By "drive bus" and "controller" do you mean the bus driver and device controller from this diagram?

Additionally, I found the following forum post while searching: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2038227
Does that mean I should try reconnecting my drives to different ports on my motherboard?

[SOLVED]Trying to install package-query again. Cannot find PKGBUILD.

I'm updating my arch after 4 months. Yes it has been a long time.
During the update process I had to remove package-query and yaourt, and now I'm trying to get them back.
I got package-query from here https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35915
Untared it, went inside, and did makepkg -s, but the PKGBUILD could not be found. I looked through the directories and didn't see a PKGBUILD anywhere.
Am I missing something?

[SOLVED] Trying to install GRUB2 on a UEFI system

Hey all,
I have an MSI Sandy Bridge motherboard which has a 64-bit UEFI. It comes with a shell for what it's worth, but I cannot seem to get the final step in GRUB2's installation to work.
Here's exactly what I run into:
I got GRUB2 properly configured, load the efivars kernel module (verified that it is loaded by checking lsmod), and then issue the command:
efibootmgr --create --gpt --disk /dev/sdb --part 1 --write-signature --label "GRUB2" --loader "\\EFI\\grub\\grub.efi"
The issue I get in return is:
Fatal: Couldn't open either sysfs or procfs directories for accessing EFI variables.
Try 'modprobe efivars' as root.
Problem is, that was already done. I tried chrooting into the installation directory, and I am met with the same issue. I am using the official arch installation media since it was recently updated and should be able to do EFI stuff, I'm thinking, but maybe I'm wrong. I'm in the process of downloading Ubuntu's 11.10 alpha 3 installation media since 11.04 did not work either (couldn't load the module since the live cd was out of date, and the downloaded efibootmgr included efivars for a different kernel version I guess).
Either way, anyone have any other tips for me? Is there any way I can utilize the EFI shell that came with my motherboard to make this work instead?
Last edited by mrmylanman (2011-08-20 21:30:48)

I just used Ubuntu 11.10 Alpha 3 to do the efibootmgr command, and it did succeed, and I have a UEFI listing for GRUB2 now, however I guess my motherboard handles this a little weird, and I have to go into the config screen to actually load GRUB. Strange. Sounds like it's my motherboard at this point and not Arch. Carry on

[SOLVED] Trying to install Xorg, missing packages?

I hope don't become a pain here, but I really want to get an arch system working...
So after I installed the base system, the first thing I wanted to do is get the x server up and running. I ran the command
pacman -S xorg
and when it goes, I get the error
error: failed retrieving file 'libxmu-1.0.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz......
I have the Virginia Tech mirror first, then ibiblio, and then the archlinux.org repo as a fallback, and none of them can retrieve that file, and thus the xorg install fails.
Any ideas of what I need to do?
Thanks,
Nathan

I've just re-installed Arch ( x86_64 ) using the Irish mirror
Server = ftp://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/ftp.archlinux.org/$repo/os/x86_64
and
it works fine. Never had a problem with the Irish nor French mirrors. As I believe it's your first time installing Arch, here's a quick run-down of what
I do on a new install:
After the base-system is installed;
1> Edit /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist to your preferred mirrors.
2> run 'adduser' to add a normal user. ( Groups: wheel,disk,audio,video,optical,storage,lp )
3> pacman -Syu to sync everything to your mirror.
4> pacman -S xorg cpio
5> pacman -S kde kde-l10n-uk (if you want kde)
5> pacman -S ttf-bitstream-vera ttf-ms-fonts ttf-dejavu artwiz-fonts terminus-font ( the last one is good for a konsole font ).
6> pacman -S tk alsa-utils gdb
7> pacman -S nvidia ( if you have an nvidia card )
8> nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals --composite
9> Edit /etc/inittab; The only sections we're interested in are these. This is how they should look ( to boot into kde );
## Only one of the following two lines can be uncommented!
# Boot to console
#id:3:initdefault:
# Boot to X11
id:5:initdefault:
# Example lines for starting a login manager
#x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/xdm -nodaemon
#x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon
x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/kdm -nodaemon
#x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/slim >& /dev/null
Note the new path to kdm !!!
At his point I usually 'pacman -S opera thunderbird' as well. Then, to get the 64-bit flash-plugin:
Edit /etc/pacman.conf
Uncomment the 'Testing' branch
pacman -Sy to update
pacman -S flashplugin to install
re-edit /etc/pacman.conf and comment out the Testing branch again.
Reboot.
Hope this helps in some way...

[SOLVED] Can't install gcc-ecj!

Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong session, it seemed the most appropriated to me.
I need to install pdftk, and gcc-gcj is one of its dependencies. I tried to install pdftk through yaourt, but it failed after almost 30 minutes of compiling, so I decided to "go neanderthal" and install it almost by brute force, checking the aur web page for pdftk and downloading and installing the dependencies tarballs.
First, when I try to install gcc-ecj through AUR, I got a simple error message:
[eduardo@Tardis ~]$ cd aur-mirror/gcc-gcj
[eduardo@Tardis gcc-gcj]$ ls
PKGBUILD
[eduardo@Tardis gcc-gcj]$ makepkg -si
==> ERROR: install file (gcc-gcj.install) does not exist.
So I downloaded the tarball from this page (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gcc- … mments=all) and tried to install. It failed also, but it gave me a lot of output to pinpoint the problem. The output was:

The ggc-gcj PKGBUILD doesn't quote variables correctly, resulting in failure when directory names have spaces in them like on your system.
Look for lines like this :
make -j1 DESTDIR=${pkgdir} install-target-libjava
if you change all references to variables to something like this, it should work :
make -j1 DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install-target-libjava

[SOLVED] Newbie trying to install Splashtop - libappindicator error!

I'm trying to install Splashtop from the AUR, libappindicator has the dependency libindicator which I can't get to make without errors.
This is the output when I run makepkg -s
http://pastebin.com/UesLtniJ
Any advice would be appreciated, I'm still learning my way around after too many years in Windows environments!
Thanks.

Found a post here https://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/commit/?id=0ea7abaed5 about a change to a glib header.
Updated the gmacros.h file and the make completes fine.
This same fix solved the other dependencies make errors.
Thanks.

Error trying to install fbsplash [SOLVED]

Hello there great Arch comunity!
I've installed Arch a few days ago in a virtual machine and lest night I got it to work directly on my MacBook Pro as a base OS (man that was an experience and a half) but now i've come to a roadblock I can't get through.
I am trying to install fbsplash from the AUR. I've downloaded the tarball and the pkgbuild, renamed the pkgbuild to fbsplash.install and issued a:
makepkg --asroot -s
But it's giving me this error:
==> Error: splash_start_initcpio.patch was not found in the build directory and is not a URL
I did a google search on that error, then on just the file itself but turned up empty. Any ideas?

I looked for a solution and found that a
sudo pacman -Syu eclipse
would allow me to install Eclipse. The point is that I don't want to do a full-system upgrade because a more recent kernel will prevent the wi-fi from working on my computer.
Does anyone have any idea?

Please update your system and open a new thread about your wi-fi issue.
Please remember to mark the thread as solved https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=130309
