[Solved] Yaourt says that alacarte-xfce is an orphan

This is my output
[fallon ~]$ yaourt -Syua
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
multilib is up to date
alacarte-xfce : Orphan
Foreign packages: / 49 / 49
Alacarte-xfce is highlighted in red
I have re-installed it multiple times, refreshing yaourt in between, lots of things. I have searched the interwebs and found nothing.
Why am I getting this, I thought orphaned packages were ones that I didn't mean to install and are no longer needed.
note: Originally I wouldn't have installed alacarte myself, it would have come in an XFCE bundle.
Any advice on if this is normal/how to disable or how to correct would be appreciated.
(I have used GNU/Linux for a year, Arch for a few months, so I'm a little bit noobish ;P )

Learning to install AUR packaged by hand is a very good thing to learn.  Though, AUR helpers can be convenient, they often keep users from fully understanding what is happening, and like most things with Arch, a lack of understanding can lead to breakage far beyond what Allan can accomplish.
I like cower because it searches fast, and does nothing more than download the tarball and unpack it in my directory of choice.  I also keep pacaur on my machine for those times when I am feeling really really lazy.
I am fully capable of downloading and installing by hand actually
I just like to use it so that I know I'm up to date wit hinstaled software

    Possible reasons, problems, workarounds:
    - Most common: broken/buggy _audio_ driver
    - Try -ao sdl or use the OSS emulation of ALSA.
    - Experiment with different values for -autosync, 30 is a good start.
    - Slow video output
    - Try a different -vo driver (-vo help for a list) or try -framedrop!
    - Slow CPU
    - Don't try to play a big DVD/DivX on a slow CPU! Try some of the lavdopts,
    e.g. -vfm ffmpeg -lavdopts lowres=1:fast:skiploopfilter=all.
    - Broken file
    - Try various combinations of -nobps -ni -forceidx -mc 0.
    - Slow media (NFS/SMB mounts, DVD, VCD etc)
    - Try -cache 8192.
    - Are you using -cache to play a non-interleaved AVI file?
    - Try -nocache.

    EDIT 2: If anyone else can offer any mplayer performance tips, I'd still appreciate them.

    Perhaps. Also, in that error message, do as it says and play around with combinations of those.

  • TS1702 Does any one know how to solve this iPod touch error: I am tryin to pay for an app but I can because it says that I don't have enough space when I actually have more than enough space to download it so please help me

    Does anyone know how to solve this problem: I a trying to download a paid app but I cannot because the AppStore says that info not have enough space to download it even though I have more than enough space so if any of you know what can solve this problem then please let me know

    The app is compressed and needs swap space to install. As a rule of thumb you need 3 times the listed size of the app available, or in your case 4.6GB. You only have 1.7GB.

    Try cleaning out the phone's port, of pocket fluff and such. Carefully. And check the mains adapter similarly, but less likely.

    im trying to change my password for my apple id but its says that my account has been disabled for security reasons, how can i solve this problem?

    Depending on why it's been disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your phone/iPad then try logging out of your account on the phone/iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it
