Starting full system upgrade... there is nothing to do

Just finished my Install of Arch and I can't seem to update anything it just gives me "Starting full system upgrade...
there is nothing to do"
I tried pacman -Syy and it syncs my repos and I've checked and I do have packages that are out of date so they should upodate. My mirrors are also not out of date, I just checked them

Please paste the pull output pacman -S openbox. I think you'll find something along the lines of:
warning: openbox-3.5.0-7 is up to date -- reinstalling
The following will tell you which version you have installed
$ pacman -Q openbox
The current version is 3.5.0-7, which you can see here: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … 4/openbox/

[SOLVED] Starting Full System Upgrade... There Is Nothing To Do

"Starting Full System Upgrade... There Is Nothing To Do" is the only message I have ever seen when using pacman -Syu. I have no problem installing files but pacman cannot seem to EVER find updates to anything. Even when I know that a package has been updated in the repositories, pacman never acknowledges it. Some examples of applications are:
Python2 - Installed - 2.6.5-3, Available - 2.7.1-4
Geany - Installed 0.19-1, Available - 0.20-1
Pacman - Installed 3.4.0-2, Available - 3.4.2-1
Even if I try to specify the repository, for Geany for instance, "pacman -S community/geany", it still sees it as up-to-date.
It's quite possible that I'm going about something the wrong way but I don't ever recall the system actually finding updates (since June). My pacman.conf looks as follows:
MOD EDIT -- Please use code tags to display any output and of files -- Inxsible
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also try to read the wiki about pacman and mirrorlist. Simply uncommenting multiple mirrors does not give you the ability to get packages from all of them. pacman will connect to each one in order. If it can connect to the first one and see that pacman is available it does not connect to the next mirror to see if some other mirror has an updated version of not.
It connects to the next mirror if and only if a certain package is not available on the first mirror or the mirror itself is down.

[SOLVED]pacman.log filled with "[PACMAN] starting full system upgrade"

Today i just ran pacman -Suy, but now the log is filled with:

Is this a bug?

Edit: are you using some system update monitoring script?
Ops... big "OPS".
You are right, sorry!

(1/1) removing nvidia-dkms [######################] 100%
# pacman -Syu ### This ran as expected.
All I wanted was to have the simplest use of the Nvidia proprietary driver. So I followed https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … any_kernel
So what I gather from the discussion here is that this (nvidia-dkms) should only be used for custom kernels? And the topic should be a sub topic of https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … tom_kernel? Is that right?
Thanks for you help.

Dependancy trouble when performing full system upgrade

Below is the output from pacman:

Checked the news and theads on here and not seen anyone with simular problems so I'm really not quite sure how to tackle this one...

sorry, i should have added a bit more detail about my setup:
it's an ASUS X51RL-series laptop. It has an ATI radeon xpress 1100 GFX chip.
I'm running KDE4 + compiz-fusion
I'm guessing the problem is related to the xorg upgrade? Beyond that I'm not sure how best to address the dependances.

X do not start after full system upgrade - [SOLVED]

hi all,
i did a full system upgrade yesterday, and after that, arch doesn't start..
the error itself:
X: error while loading shared libraries: libgcc_s.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
any help on this? want to get off of bloated ubuntu

I have the same issue also. Something told me not to reboot but I did because I wanted to use my rt-kernel.
yes, please help because I too have to use Ubuntu-Studio and SuSE's JAD. Both way too bloated and not as fast as Arch..
I tried to fix the xorg.conf but nothing.

[solved] After a full-system upgrade (Linux 3.15.8) = Wifi undetected

Hi, following this post, I'm seeking help concerning a big problem with my wifi.
In fact, it has been a few months since my wifi interface isn't recognized anymore. Yesterday, after a few tests, I found it was due to the kernel version, so I tried to reinstall my first ArchLinux (Linux 3.13.5-1-ARCH) : it worked, my wifi was back. The problem was that I couldn't reinstall all my stuffs : so I did a full-system upgrade (knowing I will lose my wifi) and now I just want to fix it once and for all (I'm done dealing with it).
So now, your help would be very appreciated. Does anyone have an idead? Or need more details about my config, my laptop, or whatever?

[SOLVED] GNOME is messed up after full system upgrade

I ran a full system upgrade today (last one was about 1-2 months ago) and it went smoothly.
Everything boots normally, and my default GNOME desktop also boots, but all the icons are messed up, as can be seen in this screenshot.
And worst, the overlay panel (e.g. when pressing the Windows key) is completely b0rked and unusable.
The GNOME desktop is the default one with no modifications that I know of. I tried searching for existing issues but didn't find any.
I'm running Intel Graphics on:
$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
Any ideas?

While typing the post, I bumped into https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gn … ncorrectly
After setting and re-setting my monitor resolution, things seem to fall back into place.
Looks like I'll use the scaling factor hack for a permanent fix.

HT1933 Already purchased and fully paid for the full version but there is nothing updated from the original app.

I have already purchasd and upgraded the Chest Workout App from free version to the Pro version. But there has nothing been upgraded and still unable to view the Pro version yet.

Purchased 2 years of service last year (desktop, not just for the iOS). Shortly after signing up and paying, my account was terminated stating there was no paymen. I was treated like a criminal, required to jump through a million hoops - then service as turned back on.
Few months later - service was terminated again, sighting I was spamming on the account. Nope, never spammed...and no bots or viruses spamming. Few days later they turned on the account.
Two week ago I contact support via chat. Representative was the most rude I've ever encountered, with insults to allogations. He terminated my account, stating 'there was a mistake' and I my account should not have been active. Now I'm being treated like a criminal and 2 weeks and nothing has been resolved. They appear to be unable to access the payment details to do the research.
For anyone considreing using Astrill services please keep the following in mind:
Service will be slow. You will find yourself having to constantly change servers.
Many websites (IE CraigsList) ban the Astrill IPs.
Many website force you through hoops... so extra captchas for instance for Google to search.
Support beyond the 'download latest version' and 'clear cache' is hard to get.
Expect the familiar off-shore support models we have grown to love and cherish over the years.
Keep your payment record at your fingertips because you never know when you'll be called upon to prove yourself over and over.
Though the VPN service is slow and clunky, it is the business practices and customer treatment that has me here writing to warn all of you to know what to expect before providing payment. I was 'ok' w/the service, it worked... but havea real problem w/how they treat everyone.

[ANN] script to show pacman full system upgrade in SVG picture

I just wonder how eager I upgrade my full arch system.
So, I've written a simple script to do it.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=58643
Please give me feed back.

Interesting, here's mine. Here's with vertical being number of updates in a day than hours.

Full System Upgrade: pacman -Syyu

When I use that command, it asks me if I want to replace iwiwfi and rt2x00-cvs with kernel26. Am I supposed to hit yes on these? Cause when I do it can't resolve the dependencies because archboot used both of them. So I am trying it with no while I wait for a response. Thanks in advance.

You should file a bug for archboot. It should no longer depend on these packages as they a build into the kernel.
My suggestion:
pacman -R archboot
pacman -Syu
pacman -Sd archboot
That will remove archboot, upgrade your system and install archboot while ignoring dependancy problems.

How to upgrade archlinux pacman "there is nothing to do"?

Hi, I have a problem, since nine days did not update the Arch on the laptop, because I still shows:
[root@arch~] # pacman-Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases ...
core is already the newest version
extra is already the newest version
community is already the newest version
multilib is already the newest version
archlinuxfr is already the newest version
:: Starting full system upgrade ...
there is nothing to do
I've tried, and pacman -Syy even pacman-Scc to clear the cache and nothing.
Any ideas?
I use the same mirror on the pc and there are no problems with updates, every day there are any.

Inxsible wrote:Try changing your mirrors. If your pc and laptop are on different architectures it may explain why one works and another doesn't. Maybe the mirror owner didn't update his repos on the architecture that you have on your laptop.
I already tried to change the mirror to another, but nothing helped. Only a laptop I have this problem, and have the same architecture

Wireshark dependency causing system upgrade problem

Here's what is happening:
jeff ~ | sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core 31.4K 132.4K/s 00:00:00 [#####################] 100%
extra 413.7K 558.3K/s 00:00:01 [#####################] 100%
community 348.2K 534.8K/s 00:00:01 [#####################] 100%
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
error: cannot resolve "heimdal>=1.2.1", a dependency of "wireshark"
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: wireshark: requires heimdal>=1.2.1
I checked to see what version of heimdal is available to install with "pacman -Si", and the current version is 1.2-2, which is lower than what wireshark requires. Do I have to wait until heimdal 1.2.1 is pushed into the repos before I can update my system, or is there another solution?

Xyne wrote:There's no nasty tone to this question, I'm just curious: Why do packages get moved to the official repos before their dependencies are ready? Doesn't that just create problems for upgrades and prevent users who might need to install the package in that little window of dependency hell? What's the reasoning? Is it just for the packager's convenience?
What happened here was that in the testing repo there were packages rebuilt for libpcap and packages rebuilt against heimdal. However, wireshark was rebuilt against both libpcap and heimdal. Because of an oversight, the libpcap rebuild was moved out of testing without realizing that wireshark depended on the heimdal wich was still in testing. We try to avoid these missing dependency problems but sometime mistakes are made.
Xyne wrote:Follow-up question: Would it be possible (read: reasonable) to create some pkg queue system that moves ready packages into the official repos once their dependencies are solved?
I'm not sure if it's possible as packages are moved manually.
When there are library soname bump, we rebuild all packages that needs it to the best of our knowledge but it can happen that we forget a few. Sometime the package that needs to be rebuilt doesn't have the dependency listed, especially when it comes to dependencies on core packages, so we miss it. In this case, a queue system would do nothing. We just need users to report them on the bug tracker

Unresponsive input devices after full system update

This problem's been going on for a couple of months now. Essentially what happens is that when I perform a normal system update using
sudo pacman -Syu
and reboot the computer, it will go through the normal booting process (Everything marked as OK), but when the display manager starts, the resolution is significantly lower (probably 800x600 rather than 1366x768). Another symptom is that the neither the keyboard nor the mouse register any input on the screen. (Pressing the 'lock' keys don't trigger the LED on the keyboard, and the mouse doesn't move on the screen).
The only way I've been able to remedy this situation is that everytime I perform a system update, I have to load up the Arch boot CD, and pacstrap the root installing.
I"m not entirely sure which information one would need to diagnose this problem, but I'll include the output from the system update, and the pactrap update;
System update:
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...

That was the most recent occurrence, but like I said, it's been occurring for months. I figure it's probably some crazy setting I have in my system. I'll post my mkinitcpio.conf just as a preemptive measure.
# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
MODULES=""
# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image. This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=""
# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.
FILES=""
# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS="base"
## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
## work as a sane default
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect block filesystems"
## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
## No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS="base udev block filesystems"
## This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
## Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
# HOOKS="base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems"
## This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
# HOOKS="base udev block lvm2 filesystems"
## NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
# usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block lvm2 filesystems keyboard fsck"
# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression
# is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"
#COMPRESSION="lzma"
#COMPRESSION="xz"
#COMPRESSION="lzop"
# COMPRESSION_OPTIONS
# Additional options for the compressor
#COMPRESSION_OPTIONS=""

Can we take a peek at your /etc/fstab ?
I think you've the problem I had suspected was going on in that other thread. I think your boot partition is not mounted on /boot at the time you do the upgrade. This will cause the new modules to be installed in the libraries. The new kernel and initrd will be built, and installed to the /boot mount point. Unfortunately, if the boot partition is not mounted, the files don't replace the old ones and the boot loader uses the stale files the next time you boot. The old kernel cannot find its modules, because the only ones available belong to the new kernel (you know, the one that was written to what /boot)
If you can use the keyboard after an upgrade, log in and compare the output of uname -a and of pacman -Qi linux. The versions had better match.
Yes, it seems as if you were right. I must have missed that in the thread you posted. My /etc/fstab does not have the boot partition in it, just the root and home (I'm using lvm for both of them)
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# /dev/mapper/zenith-root
UUID=ee7499cc-47b3-4001-a2ed-01686bc0aaec / ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 1
# /dev/mapper/zenith-home
UUID=e13add11-3bc1-44d5-acc4-f7e0be7f8419 /home ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 2

Starting full system upgrade... there is nothing to do
