Stop bumping. Use the edit button.
Not sure why it jokes on this, as the files should not be part of kdeartwork-wallpapers:
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra … allpapers/
Maybe your mirror has not synched completely yet? You could check manually if it already has the new kdebase-workspace.
Apart from all that, you could just hold back kdeartwork-wallpapers for now and update the rest.

    Tried to upgrading ipad 1 from itunes and l guess it did not complete the process because all I have showing on the ipad is the itunes logo with the usb cable. When l try to connect it to my system, it resquest that a driver be used to install the device. Please help! How do I restore?

    Restoration is relatively simplistic. Here's whatcha do. Plug your ipad in, open itunes, now if itunes doesn't recognize it then you may have a problem, anywho, click on the ipad in the devices interface and go to the info tab, click restore, and it'll be just like it was when it left the factory. To get you data back, it should ask if you would like to use a backup, just select the backup you want and you'll be good to go. That is if you regularly backed up your iPad.

  • TS3147 After installing Mountain Lion, I tried to scan from my Canon MX870 and received the message: "MP Navigator EX quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. A report will be sent to Apple,"

    After installing Mountain Lion, I tried to scan from my Canon MX870 and received the message: "MP Navigator EX quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. A report will be sent to Apple,"  This problem happened right after I installed Mountain Lion. I then downloaded Canon's upgraded software and drivers for the MX 870 and the problem was resolved. Now one month later, the problem has returned.

    You should still use Image Capture IMHO.  If it was my gear, that's what I would do.  No need to worry about software upgrades.

  • [SOLVED] Trying to upgrade GRUB 1.99rc~1 to 2.00-2.

    Hello,
    I was trying to upgrade my version of GRUB from 1.99rc~1 to the latest version (2.00-2) which was recently installed via pacman.
    I am using grub-bios with an GPT partition.
    Partition table scan:
    MBR: protective
    BSD: not present
    APM: not present
    GPT: present
    I am following the instructions below which are outlined on the wiki for Installing to GPT BIOS boot partitions.
    # modprobe dm-mod
    # modprobe part_gpt
    # grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck --debug /dev/sda
    # mkdir -p /boot/grub/locale
    # cp /usr/share/locale/en\@quot/LC_MESSAGES/grub.mo /boot/grub/locale/en.mo
    However, I am getting the following error:
    I am running the latest kernel version (3.9.4-1).
    [root@fracture ~]# modprobe part_gpt
    modprobe: FATAL: Module part_gpt not found.
    I was wondering how I could fix this so that I could proceed with upgrading GRUB.
    Thank you.

  • Tried to upgrade my iPhone 4 to 5.1 and now it is  stuck in "plug into itunes mode" after trying to update to iOs 5.1 and receiving error (1).

    Tried to upgrade my iPhone 4 to 5.1 and now it is  stuck in "plug into itunes mode" but will not recover when I plug it in. It is coming up as "unkown error (1)". Is there anything I can do?
    Also, is there any way to recover pictures I have not yet backed up? They should be on iTunes, but do not show up when I plug the phone in or otherwise.
    Is there any hope in saving this phone or is my best bet contacting Verizon or Apple to overnight me a new one?

    From iPhoneWiki:
    Try changing the USB port (the back one of chassis is better) and restart computer.
    The installed version of iTunes may also be too old. Update iTunes.
    Also put your iPhone in DFU mode when doing the above and restore. It's a software error.

    Hi curliejo, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    In your situation I would recommend the steps in the following article for troubleshooting iTunes. It may be necessary to completely remove and reinstall iTunes in this situation. Be sure to remove all of the components with iTunes in the correct order as outlined in the article before installing fresh.

    Don't think it would have mattered. Sounds like a bad hardware problem. Quite possibly a crashed hard drive. It was probably trying to tell you that during your other total melt downs. May even be your logic board. Get it to an Apple Repairer pronto, hopefully you are still under warranty or Applecare.

    :: kdeedu-libkdeedu and kdeedu-data are in conflict
    Any solutions?
    Since i'm newbie, the only thing i can think of is forcing the removal of said packages and then re-install the kdeedu group or whole KDE, but it doesn't seem like a good idea.
    Edit: also tried another mirror to be sure but nothing changed.
    Edit2: I removed kdeedu-data and the 4 packages that relied on it with a simple -R and when the upgrade was complete i just re-installed the kdeedu group package to get the 4 packages i removed earlier.
    Some info that might help developers prevent this from happening again: The standard behavior afaik on today's upgrade is pacman asking you to remove the kdeedu-data package and then the upgrade proceeds normally.
    In my case the system was about one month old and on my -Syu today i upgraded pacman first. So basically i'm coming from an "older installation".

  • [SOLVED] Major weird issues with KDE/Qt apps and unicode

    Hi, I've tried to search for my problem, but nothing has showed up, so if this has already been answered, please forgive me.
    Anyway, I use KDE as my primary desktop environment with SKIM as my unicode input method. After installing SKIM and Japanese fonts back when I first set Arch up, I have never had any issues with inputting unicode or displaying it in any program, whether that be irssi running through Konsole, or the song titles in Amarok. That all changed this afternoon, somehow...
    The only major changes I can remember making to my system today are the following:
    1.) I installed Awesome Window Manager to check it out
    2.) I installed a pkgbuild of urxvt
    3.) I made an .Xdefaults file and added these lines to customize my urxvt
    After messing around with these things, I decided that Awesome wasn't a suitable WM for me, went back into KDE, and removed the package. I noticed a few strange issues after that though:
    1. Foreign characters refuse to display properly in any terminal emulator.
    2. Foreign characters come up as jumble in Konqueror now as well, when they never did before:
    3. SKIM refuses to let me input Japanese characters with Anthy in any KDE app. The option for Japanese just isn't there, even though I have it installed:
    4. Foreign characters display perfectly as tags for songs in Amarok, but if the music file itself has foreign characters in it, the title is garbled and the track is unplayable:
    5. SKIM works absolutely fine in non-KDE apps like Firefox:
    As seen in the last example, my Japanese fonts are all installed, and SKIM is working as it should in any non-KDE app, suggesting that there are no problems on that end. The issue seems to be with something in KDE, but I have no idea where to begin fixing it. Furthermore, I have no idea what could have caused this issue in the first place. I don't see how installing a window manager or terminal emulator package could have screwed up my fonts, and the .Xdefaults file I wrote just contained config information for urxvt. Nothing else. I even ended up deleting that, but it did not fix my problem.
    If you could be of any help, I'd really appreciate it. I have a lot of files with foreign characters in them, and being able to read them is essential.

    I was just looking into locales, actually.
    My current locale is:
    LANG=en_US.utf8
    LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
    LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8"
    LC_TIME="en_US.utf8"
    LC_COLLATE=C
    LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8"
    LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
    LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8"
    LC_NAME="en_US.utf8"
    LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8"
    LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
    LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8"
    LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"
    LC_ALL=
    and locale -a brings up:
    C
    POSIX
    en_US.utf8
    Is there anything here that could be causing this issue?
    I'm curious how my locale got messed with in the first place if this is indeed the problem...
    and here is my export:
    declare -x COLORTERM=""

    declare -x GTK_RC_FILES="/etc/gtk/gtkrc:/home/rael/.gtkrc:/home/rael/.kde/share/config/gtkrc"
    declare -x HOME="/home/rael"
    declare -x KDE_FULL_SESSION="true"
    declare -x KDE_MULTIHEAD="false"
    declare -x KDE_SESSION_UID="1000"
    declare -x KONSOLE_DCOP="DCOPRef(konsole-19951,konsole)"
