[Solved]virtualbox-ose-additions needs virtualbox-ose-additions

Hello everybody. I noticed that mayor updates were released some time ago but I couldn't update because of my exams. Anyway, now I'm trying to update (pacman -Syu) and I recieve the following error:
:: virtualbox-ose-additions-modules: needs kernel26<2.6.28
So, that package is out of date, I don't mind if I have to remove it and install virtualbox after updating again, so I tried to remove it and what I get is this;
:: virtualbox-ose-additions: needs virtualbox-ose-additions-modules
Even if I do a ~$ pacman -R -f virtualbox-ose-additions-modules get the same error.
How can I remove it and update?
Thanks

Cant Find to install VirtualBox-Ose-Additions

Hi All
I have installed virtualbox-ose and virtualbox-ose-additions from packages and configured virtualbox etc ... and it runs just fine. But when i go to configure guest additions, i cant find where its been installed ...
I thought it was supposed to be here /usr/share/virtualbox/additions/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso But its not ...
Any suggestions please ?
Many Thanks

it doesn't need to be there. just try to load the iso from vbox and you'll see that is working
pacman -Ql virtualbox-additions

[Solved] Localtime is messed up, and pacman doesn't work anymore

Hi everyone,
I'm quite new to Arch Linux but I've succeded so far in installing the base system, setting up my wifi card (wasn't easy) and installing xfce4. When I first installed everything seemed to work fine (wifi, dropbox, pacman, etc.) but I noticed that my time doesn't reflect the current local time. I've selected America/Montreal in rc.conf and through "Orage Globaltime" in xfce4 but both return the UTC instead of the localtime. Also, when I try to get the UTC from Orage, it returns my localtime instead (Montreal)...
So there's definitely something wrong there. I've then had a look at the forums/wiki and found that a network synchronisation should be used to correct the issue (such as ntp) but now pacman can't connect to anything. It returns something like this when I try to install/update/search:
$ sudo pacman -Syu
Password:
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mirror.us.leaseweb.net : Connection time-out
^C (keeps on getting time-outs if I don't interrupt)
Some info on my system:

Thanks!

Thanks I'll look at that entry. Still I'd like to point out that this page clearly says that the timezone is to be set in rc.conf, which is a bit confusing. I must've followed this guide to get to my current configuration. I am dual booting with multiple other systems (xubuntu, win7, puppy, crunchbang) so from what I've read win7 might be the problem, but I haven't started it since i installed arch and my time has been off from the start.
Should I simply use NTP now that pacman is working again?

[solved] Virtualbox guest additions stopped working

Hi,
I got some trouble after an upgrade of kernel yesterday. Virtualbox guest additions doesn't work any longer, and I have tried both downgrading virtualbox-guest-additions and the new linux that got pushed yesterday, but it's still not working.
Is there some know issue related to this?
Do anyone have information on how to trace errors with Virtualbox, or any guide on how to fix this.
I have also tried a reinstall of the modules without success.
Thanks.

[SOLVED] gnome-settings-daemon problem after pacman -Syu

Today after updating my hp laptop with pacman -Syu, I noticed that I lost a few of my multimedia key shortcuts. When I tried to fix this with System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts, I get this error:
Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'.
Without the GNOME settings manager running, some preferences may not take effect. This could indicate a problem with Bonobo, or a non-GNOME (e.g. KDE) settings manager may already be active and conflicting with the GNOME settings manager.
The keyboard shortcut menu comes up as normal, and seems to work like it should for everything but the multimedia keys. I get the same error when clicking on the Appearance & Keyboard menus.
I remember pacman asking me if I wanted to replace gail with gtk2. Could that have anything to do with it?
Any ideas?
Thanks!!!!

[SOLVED] cannot find root device after pacman -Syu

Today I had a problem after pacman -Syu. Of course, my problem stemmed from not paying attention to the following (from https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57205):
<b>Read pacman's output while upgrading.</b>
I could no longer boot. I received a message "cannot find root device" or something similar indicating a device with the appropriate UUID had not been found and I was being dropped into a recovery shell, then, when I typed exit, an emergency shell, followed shortly by a freeze.
After some investigation it appeared my initramfs was broken/non-existent/something after the install. I booted into a live CD and found that updating pacman again, and mkinitcpio -p linux both displayed the following error: "Failed to create temporary working directory in /tmp". Long story short: mktemp was segfaulting. This should be extremely easy to check if you're having a similar problem. I replaced it with the version on the live CD and ran the pacman update again. Success. If you do this, you may need to make sure your live cd architecture and installed kernel architecture are the same.
I'm not sure of the etiquette here, so I'm posting this in case someone else has the same problem I did; and benefits from a similar solution. I have checked the etiquette post and I don't think it's clear whether it's kosher to post things that don't actually require a solution. However, if I have misinterpreted the rules/etiquette and/or this type of post is considered extraneous please remove it.

You have to use lvm first. As all those vg*, lv*, and pv* commands are actually links to the lvm command, you should have to do something like "lvm vgscan" instead of just "vgscan".
Edit: oh and at that point in the boot process, you are actually in the initramfs still (ash to be specific).
Edit2: I was having issues with a USB keyboard and a new machine (actually just a new bios), and found out that because of windows 8's requriement for a fast POST, the default is to turn off the scanning for usb devices. Though this was for UEFI, and I am not sure if the same would apply for a bios booting machine...

Pacman and pacman -Syu

I was 100% sure I already posted this message but it is not here, I think I have done something terribly wrong with the submit button. :oops:
As everybody (should) know in case you do a pacman -Syu and a newer version of pacman is out, you should stop it, then upgrade only pacman and after do again pacman -Syu.
Could it be possible to have pacman that checks if there is a newer version available and in that case do only pacman upgrade?
This should save (especially newcomers) many problem.
I know that newcomers start to take advantage from a such feature only from 0.6 but somewere we have to start.
I think pacman is this case can have two operating mode:
1) pacman -Syu
2) pacman see a newer pacman version
3) pacman warn the user to do a pacman -S pacman before the pacman -Syu and stop. Eventually with the option to force the -Syu anyway. If somebody wants to mess up his/her system they should be free to do it
Another way can be
1) pacman -Syu
2) pacman see a newer pacman version
3) pacman automatically update itself and after stop warning the user that pacman has been update and now he/she need to start pacman -Syu again

I think this is a good idea. You should submit a feature request to the bugtracker.

2) See never pacman version
3) "Do you want to update pacman y/n"
4) If yes upgrade pacman
5) Continue with normal update.

[SOLVED] Cannot startup properly after recent pacman -Syu

I'm having a bit of trouble starting up my system after a recent upgrade (6-6-13). I ran into some issues beforehand with the error
filesystem: /bin exists in filesystem
filesystem: /sbin exists in filesystem
but resolved that by following the steps highlighted on the recent news section on the home page. I use rEFInd and I get the normal boot menu and everything seems normal, but I get this message when loading up the OS
[FAILED] Failed to mount /boot.
See 'systemctl status boot.mount' for details.
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for Local File Systems.
So I run the command mentioned above and get this
boot.mount - /boot

I'm still new and getting used to this but it looks like my filesystem is not loading properly (obviously) and I do not know how to resolve my issue. Any help? You guys were great helping with my install issues.

I'm happy to say that I was able to successfully boot thanks to some research into the Arch boot sequence and adding MODULES="vfat" to my /etc/mkinitcpio.conf! I ran
mkinitcpio -p linux
to create the initramfs-linux.img and initramfs-linux-fallback.img in my /boot directory. I tried to reboot, however it did not work because I did not have what rEFInd needed to boot successfully. I then ran
cp /boot/vmlinuz-linux /boot/EFI/arch/vmlinuz-arch.efi
cp /boot/initramfs-linux.img /boot/EFI/arch/initramfs-arch.img
cp /boot/initramfs-linux-fallback.img /boot/EFI/arch/initramfs-arch-fallback.img
to place the images and the kernel in my rEFInd directory so that rEFInd could find those things in order to boot successfully. So basically I had the right files in the wrong place!
Anyways, thanks for all the help everyone! The Arch community is great when noobs like me get stuck!
One more small question from me... I'm supposed to mark the topic as SOLVED when it is in fact solved. How do I change the title of this topic? Thanks

[SOLVED] Virtualbox-host-dkms module not compatible with Linux 3.17rc

Using the linux-mainline package from aur, was unable to get dkms to compile the vboxdrv module. Mainline is currently at around 3.17rc3, didn't work at rc1 either.
Apparently a patch has already been made, it is available at:
https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic … 50#p296650
Loaded the abs system and applied the patch from the forum:
https://forums.virtualbox.org/download/ … p?id=13399
Patch works like a charm. I have compiled the package, if anyone else would like to save some cpu cycles and time, I wouldn't mind uploading it if there is somewhere it can be posted.

[SOLVED]Problems when installing - DHCP and Pacman

Hello Arch Linux Forums,
I'm kind of new here and I'm switching from Debian, so excuse me if this question is noobish.
I've been trying to install Arch Linux for three days now, and the installation always screws up at either Select Source, Select Packages or Install Packages. It changes every time I try.
On Select Source - Failed to run dhcpcd. Check /dev/tty7 for errors.
On Select Packages - Pacman preparation failed! Check /dev/tty7 for errors.
On Install Packages - Installs a few packages, and then after a few packages download I get "No address record" on everything else.
Can someone point me in the right direction on what to do?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I tried to install today, worked fine. Did nothing different. Thanks anyway guys!

I tried the installation again and it failed at install packages. Here's the only line in /dev/tty7 that I think is related to it.

I don't have it on right now, but it said something to that effect. It says that on the installer as well, although the only other thing it gives is the No address record error mentioned in the OP.

[SOLVED] Perl updated to 5.20: Should I pacman -Syu?

Hi all,
In the arch home page one reads:
Perl updated to 5.20
2014-06-04
Perl 5.20, as any other new perl version, requires all modules that are not purely perl code to be rebuilt. We did that for all packages in our repos.
The last couple major updates printed an error message when trying to load modules built against the wrong version, 5.20 seems to cause segfaults. Please make sure to rebuild all custom installed CPAN modules and binaries that link to libperl.so.
Refer to my post on arch-dev-public for a script that helps to find those packages.
I executed the script and I got this:
$cd /tmp/find-broken-perl-package.22jFUOeh
$ls *
pacman.txt perl-dists.txt perl-modules.txt raw.txt
$cat *
libproxy
Net::Libproxy
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/auto/Net/Libproxy/Libproxy.so
I read the announcement, but I'm not sure what to do next.. What should I rebuild and how?
Or am I good to just go on and pacman -Syu? I'm a bit extra cautious as I had problems in
the past when I wasn't.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: perl-dists.txt was empty, so the output of cat * is for pacman.txt, perl-modules.txt, and raw.txt, respectively.

tomk wrote:I guess it might be helpful to add that in the news item, the word "custom" essentially means "installed from source(s) other than the official Arch repos", since the devs have taken care of any official packages. So you just need to determine the source of that libproxy package, and then rebuild or not as required.
Thanks.. I think I'll be safe to upgrade. Just one more question: while trying to figure out who is using the libproxy package
I did the following:
jorge@flamingo:~$ sudo pacman -Qo /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/auto/Net/Libproxy/Libproxy.so
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/auto/Net/Libproxy/Libproxy.so is owned by libproxy 0.4.11-2
Ok, so sure enough Libproxy.so is used by libproxy. Then I'm not sure how to find out
who is using libproxy as a dependency. I did
pacman -Si libproxy
but that didn't give any information about that. So I had to pretend that I'm
uninstalling things to get to what is using libproxy:
jorge@flamingo:~$ sudo pacman -R libproxy
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: glib-networking: requires libproxy
jorge@flamingo:~$ sudo pacman -R glib-networking

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: libsoup: requires glib-networking
jorge@flamingo:~$ sudo pacman -R libsoup

:: darktable: requires libsoup
:: gst-plugins-good: requires libsoup
:: gstreamer0.10-good-plugins: requires libsoup-gnome
:: gvfs: requires libsoup
:: webkitgtk2: requires libsoup
Is there a more proper way of obtaining those packages?
