[SOLVED] yaourt doesnt search aur - new mirrror list

Hi
last night I discovered that yaourt doesnt search aur packages. I am guessing that it has something to do with last pacman upgrade and new mirror list.
Does anybody have the same problem with yaourt and could anybody explaine, step by step , what soud I do with new mirror list? I did not understand completely all steps that should be done with new mirror list. Thanks.

Here is a trade you mentioned about same problem. http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=61664

ok, so i seem to have solved the issue. i found a changelog for yaourt 0.9.2 that mentioned "fixing aur search". that prompted me to check the yaourt version on my machine and it was still at 0.9.0
upgrading to the latest version seems to have fixed the problem.

ITunes Store new Album list

Hi all,
I hope this is the correct section...
I remember that some times ago, when I had to search the new album list in iTunes Store, I had a screen divided in 4 sections (1 for each week) with all the new albums / singles... Now I'm not able anymore to find this list... Is there something changed ?!? Now I'm able to see a list of the most recent album...
Thanks
Max

You've fallen over a long-standing and intermittent bug in the Store where it claims to be showing the correct number of items but in fact either isn't showing any or isn't showing all of them, although all the episodes appear when subscribing. There isn't really anything you can do about this yourself as the problem lies with the Store, not your feed. It usually sorts itself out in a few days, but it's worth emailing Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and asking them to re-index your podcast as this may speed things up.

[SOLVED] Yaourt search on AUR stopped working

hi all :>
yaourt's search engine was working quite nice until i booted up my computer this morning -.-
does anyone have an idea to solve this problem!? downloading + building from aur works great with yaourt just the search thingy is kinda broken -.-
can it be possible that it has to do something with my changes in sysctl.conf? i added several rules:
# Disable packet forwarding
net.ipv4.ip_forward=0
# Disable the magic-sysrq key
kernel.sysrq = 0
# Enable TCP SYN Cookie Protection
net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies = 1
# Source Address verification
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 1
# Block Ping
net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_all = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 0
net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_source_route=0
net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts=1
net.ipv4.icmp_ignore_bogus_error_responses=1
best regards :>

I've come up with a workaround. It's quick and probably dirty, but it enables me to search the packages and view the descriptions.

What are the versions of your pacman and yaourt?
There are some updates to all the pacman, yaourt and AUR web pages,
so can you try this:
1. upgrade pacman itself first
2. upgrade yaourt itself, then
3. and last, try full system upgrade.
These errors seem familiar, but I have no idea how it disappeared.

[SOLVED] How to make "yaourt" run with "AUR" command?

I want to change the yaourt command so i can use something like aur or AUR.
for example, instead of
yaourt -S package-name-here
I want to use
AUR -S package-name-here
so that it's easier to type. "yaourt" is such an odd string to type! hehe
I think i might use something like this:
function AUR {
**something like: exec /.../yaourt**
**and some other code to pass on -S or -U conditions...etc**
Can someone tell me what to put in this function and where to save it to?
Also, What's better: using the yaourt call above or the following custom function (instead of yaourt):
function AUR {
cd $aurdir
wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/$1/$1.tar.gz && tar -xzf $1.tar.gz && rm $1.tar.gz && cd $1 && makepkg -s
pacman -U **some code goes here to output the correct filename**
I have to think to myself "yeah our t" to type yaourt (haha) so to think "AUR" is much simpler, since that's what we're getting packages from anyways.

When and if one uninstalls yaourt, still gonna leave the aliases in the .bashrc... that's untidy too... Wich is more simple, "ln -s /usr/bin/yaourt /usr/bin/AUR <enter>" or "nano ~/.bashrc <enter> alias AUR='yaourt' <ctrl+x> <y> <enter>" ... It's better to use aliases in .bashrc because you can do so much more and get to learn alil bit more for future reference, but the reasons for not symlinking it's really not that bad. If you've ever used windows for example, symlink works almost the same as creating a shortcut to an application on the desktop, once unistalled the application, you manually have to delete the shortcut. Aliases is the proper way to go, i didn't know this at all.. I just symlinked to yaort but after reading this i switched to alias Btw mark topic as solved ^^

Search AUR when offline [Solved]

Hey guys, is there a way to search for packages in the AUR db,
when not connected to the net.
As can be done by the other repositories.

Thanks people.
Of course there's no way to search for packages when the AUR is offline. It's offline, not much you can do.
You could create a cron job though. Have some sort of program or shell script parse output from an AUR helper that allows searching (aur-search, clyde, and bauerbill are nice, there are definitely more) and place that in a text file. Just set that cron job to a certain interval (depending on your needs) and then just work from there.
Yeah, and increase the load to the server while you're at it .
I guess I left out the whole "use an appropriate amount of time between queries" part.

Can't add printer, stuck in the eternal "searching for new drivers"

ah, the leopard upgrade mixed blessing continues....
so of course i have no printers available now that i've installed leopard. and of course i need to print TONIGHT. so i went to add the printer while it was plugged into the port - - and this is AFTER reinstalling the drivers from the cd, AND installing all the printer drivers from the leopard cd (this is an epson stylus photo 1400). And i click to add a printer, and the epson stylus does appear in the list, and proceeds to "search for new drivers" before it will let me do anything.... and it spins forever.
it doesnt help that i'm also having the internet problems that many people are having now too.... and i'm not sure if it's consistent, but i think my internet does cut out eventually after it goes into this driver search.
any help at all?
thanks in advance-----
rita

Just wanted to add another voice to this chorus of dismay. While I have properly installed Leopard; re-installed the manufacturer driver (brother HL-2040) reinstalled the Leopard Printer drivers from the optional install Leopard folder, when I go to find printer drivers (none show up initially) I end up getting a pull down menu offering Canon IJ; Epson FireWire;Epson TECP/IP/and HP IP Printing; and that's it. None of the drivers installed show up not even the one brother HL-2040 installed from the manufacturer's disc.(which is all this modest user needs.)
The bottom line: I can't print anything. I tried the reset option mentioned in one of your posts. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Mitchull

[SOLVED]yaourt, package removed for security reasons?

Hi,
if i use yaout for searching new software, teamspeak for example it will output this:
yaourt -Ss teamspeak
aur/mumble 1.1.3-1
A voice chat applikation similar to TeamSpeak
aur/oss2jack 0.25-7
Routes /dev/dsp to Jack enabling TeamSpeak and other OSS-only mmap apps to work.
aur/teamspeak2 rc2_2032-3
TeamSpeak is software for quality voice communication via the Internet
Ok, teamspeak2 is in aur...now i want to build it:
[progger@myhost music]$ yaourt -S teamspeak2
==> Downloading teamspeak2 PKGBUILD from AUR...
==> WARNING: It seems like teamspeak2 was removed from AUR probably for security reason. Please Abort
teamspeak2 rc2_2032-3 (NOT SAFE): TeamSpeak is software for quality voice communication via the Internet
==> teamspeak2 dependencies:
- libxext (already installed)
- libjpeg (already installed)
- libsm (already installed)
Now yaourt tells me that the package was removed for security reasons but i can still build it?
How can someone build something that was removed?

Leopard-Searching for new drivers: Canon iP5000

I have recently installed Leopard. When I try to print I get a box stating that no printer is selected. I go to Add Printer . . . and another window pops up with a list and there is my Canon iP5000/USB. When I select it I get a message in the window that says "searching for new drivers" and the spinning gear goes for awhile and then just blinks. I tried installing the Canon driver update from Nov but that did not work. Can anyone help me?

I had the exact same problem, although my printer is an iP1500. I tried everything listed here, except the Gimp drivers, to no avail.
When the spinning gear froze on the Add Printer window, I opened the Activity Monitor, double clicked on the Add Printer process and listed open files. I realized that there were a lot of open EPSON driver files. I found this strange, since I have no EPSON printers anywhere in my network. I assumed that something else was interfering with the driver search process.
I solved the problem by doing the following:
- sudo mv /Library/Printers /Library/Printers_Orig
- mkdir /Library/Printers
- chmod 775 /Library/Printers
- mv /Library/Printers_Orig/Canon/ /Library/Printers/
In essence, the above instructions remove everything except the Canon drivers from the location which the Add Printer application uses to search. When I tried again, the correct driver was almost immediately loaded.
My guess is that the Add Printer application searches everything in the Printers directory and that some other driver (EPSON maybe?) is either corrupt or conflicts somehow with the Canon printer. By leaving only the relevant drivers, the problem goes away.

1.first thing i just added the line

to the bottom of the yaourtrc file as per the wiki and ended up with the error.
/etc/yaourtrc: line 49: ExportToLocalRepository: command not found
2.after falconindy's idea i added #
#ExportToLocalRepository /var/cache/pacman/pkg-local
but now i dont see the error but then package is not getting saved in the pkg-local folder.
3.karol i tried your step,but still the packages are not saved in the pkg-local folder.
this is yaourtrc file after the edits but still packages are not saved....

[SOLVED][Yaourt] Strange issue

Hi!
Today I have modified my mirrorlist file because the server that I used is not available anymore.
Since then yaourt tries to find all the installed packages in AUR
[helios91@helios91-desktop ~]$ sudo yaourt -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date

==> Searching for new version on AUR

Do you have any idea to fix that problem?
EDIT: yaourt -Syyu fixed it.

Same thing happening here, though 'yaourt -Syyu' won't work :S

[Solved]Yaourt sync issue

I installed yaourt according to the instruction here http://archlinux.fr/yaourt-en
But when I run yaourt -Syu --devel --aur , I get an error: problem setting dbpath '//usr/local/var/lib/pacman/' (could not find or read directory)
The directory doesn't exist and pacman -v shows nothing related to that directory. What should I do?[]
Last edited by codetrick (2011-03-04 14:28:03)

I have the same problem. I get it when try to install 'package-query' and 'yaourt' from AUR, but i install it manually.
In INSTALL file of package-query I found interesting thing:
By default, `make install' installs the package's commands under
`/usr/local/bin', include files under `/usr/local/include', etc. You
can specify an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving
`configure' the option `--prefix=PREFIX', where PREFIX must be an
absolute file name.
I uninstall yaourt and package-query using pacman and delete /usr/local directory (the system is fresh and this directory is not important)
Then i do
./configure --prefix=''
sudo make install
With yaourt i have more problems... Iven if you delete "/usr/local" from Makefile you don't solve the problem.
I find all "/usr/local" substrings in files from yaourt.x.x.x.tar.gz with commands:
tar -xzvf yaourt.x.x.x.tar.gz
cd yaourt.x.x.x
grep -RiHn 'usr/local/' *
and manually delete them.
Then i make and install my yaourt. It worked.
Oh, i know that it is unnormal, but i can't find anything in internet and write it to others.
P.S. I may install yaourt with this instruction^ http://archlinux.fr/yaourt-en (with pacman)
