[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

**** Your system is too SLOW to play this! ****
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.

Any ideas?
EDIT: Well, it looks like adding "ao=alsa" to ~/.mplayer/config did it. I guess that it uses OSS by default, which is apparently too slow.
EDIT 2: If anyone else can offer any mplayer performance tips, I'd still appreciate them.

I have a annual plan, it supposed must be used in two terminals, but i haven´t been able to install any app in a second computer, it always says that the app is only available as a trial download. What can I do to solve this issue, and be able to use my paid plan in two computers?
Hi Susan,
Please refer to the help document to fix this issue:
Creative Cloud applications unexpectedly revert to trial mode | CS6, CCM
You may also refer to the thread as below:
creative cloud software says my free trial has expired, but I have a paid subscription
Regards,
Sheena -
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.

My iPhone says that my charger is not supported, but it's the charger that came with my phone. Is there any way I can solve this issue?
Try cleaning out the phone's port, of pocket fluff and such. Carefully. And check the mains adapter similarly, but less likely.

my iPod says to connect to iTunes, and then it crashes, error 3014, I've tried everything it says that might solve the error but nothing
Not knowing what everything is:
Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build" - Apple Support
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Please give us the exact error message.
Please state your operating system.
Please state the exact version of Lightroom you are using.
Please give us any other relevant details.
What does this mean: "Now all of a sudden I can see the images on the screen"? Are you looking in Lightroom or your operating system or the camera screen? Where? -
The airport card on my macbook pro is not functioning. In the airport firmware folder it says that it opens with final cut express. Is this the problem and how do i solve it?
Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
Highlight Internal Speakers
Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
2. Remove the headphone.
If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
4. Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Choose the method for:
"Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup

Click the Built-in Output.
Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

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 -
