Update with pacman error

When I first run pacman -Syu on a clean install my system downloads everything, but when it goes to install it says that all of these certain files exist and no pakages upgraded .
any help would be appreciated.

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update.

Problems trying to update with Pacman

So I installed Arch Linux for the first time and its awesome. I updated Pacman and after googling I learned that you have to uncomment some servers from the mirror list. I did it and the problem was solved. Yesterday was working but today is not working. Here is the output from pacman -Syy:
:: Synchronizing package databases...

I can't update the core and extra packages but kdemod is updating. That's weird. Here is my /etc/pacman.conf

What Im doing wrong?

Following the wrong instructions maybe?
The Beginners guide, if that's what you followed to install had you going in the right direction.
The only mirrors that needed to be uncommented were the ones in your country.
There is also a package you could install that would rate the mirrors for you and keep the fastest six in a file to access automatically.
I don't recognize the address you have for core, but that doesn't mean it isn't a legit addy either.
I also don't see extra or the community repo in your pacman.conf.
No clue what you have done so no real clue how to fix it.
For instance:
I updated Pacman and after googling I learned that you have to uncomment some servers from the mirror list. I did it and the problem was solved.
What problem?
If you were able to update pacman, something was working.
Everything was working before the update and after the update.

O meu já ta comentado por causa disso, nos últimos dias ( hoje?) eles não tavam funcionando...

Thanks a lot. I don't know portuguese but I speak spanish so I can understand portuguese a little. Problem solved.

Updating with pacman fails

I am trying to run a pacman -Syu and get the following error.
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: virtualbox-guest-utils: requires X-ABI-VIDEODRV_VERSION<15
Is there a way around this?

Yes, it is quite unacceptable. Those lazy developers are clearly just wasting your time by not devoting enough of their spare time to pushing out packages immediately.
I'm on this forum because I've been wondering about that pacman message too.
I know where you're coming from, saying that sarcastic stuff, but unfortunately no matter how much time gets devoted, breaking stuff is still a bad thing.
I have no sympathy for someone who shows up here saying there machine has not been updated in "a long time" and then complains that packages are not available when they want them. That's not breakage, that's just PEBKAC.

[solved] Issue about update with pacman -Syu

Everytime I update my system I get these questions. I always answer no, because I'm afraid to screw up everything. The questions are
replace iwlwifi with core/kernel26?
replace rt2x00-cvs with core/kernel26?
replace slocate with core/mlocate?
What should I do, why pacman is asking me this, and what is slocate, mlocate, rt2x00-cvs iwlwifi, core/kernel26?
Thanks a lot, I'm a newbie! I've searched for that in forum and in google, and all what I got was japanese pages, and a thing that has nothing to do with that.

edit: solved! thankyou!!!

replace iwlwifi with core/kernel26? => that's because the Intel wireless driver iwlwifi was included in the linux kernel, so you don't need it anymore.
replace rt2x00-cvs with core/kernel26? => about the same thing I think.
replace slocate with core/mlocate? => the arch devs decided to change the version of locate (a command to search files) in core.
Edit : bender02 was faster than me.

Windows server 2012 update standalone installer error: the certificate for the signer of the message is invalid

I have a windows server 2012 Hyper V machine which acts as a web front end for my sharepoint 2013 farm.
It is set to install updates automatically.
I have 4 patch to install to correct an issue with my search:

These are Microsoft patches
Whenever I try to install them I receive an error
Googling the error, I have tried extracting the file and using CMD prompt to install the xml file to install but to no avail.
I have installed Windows Identity Foundation as a role. It is necessary for this to be
I have also noticed that all updates for a couple of weeks have failed. I have 2 other servers in the farm, both of which are joined to the same private network cannot look for updates with another error. Not sure if these are related.
Anyone know of anything like this?

right-click the file and select properties.
On "Digital Signatures" the tab, select the "Microsoft Corporation" entry and click "Details"
In the "Digital Signature Details" dialog, click "View Certificate"
In the "Certificate" dialog, click "Install Certificate..."
In the "Certificate Import Wizard" dialog, select "Local Machine" (though current user might work, didn't use it, so I can not attest to it) and click "Next"
Select the "Place all certificates in the following store" option and click "Browse"
In the "Select Certificate Store" dialog, select "Trusted Publishers" and click "Ok"
Back in the "Certificate Import Wizard" click "Next"
You should now be at the "Completing the Certificate Import Wizard" step of the "Certificate Import Wizard" ... click "Finish"
You should get "Import was successful"
You should now be able to install the package.

Root partition suddenly full while updating packages with Pacman

Hello
I'm not sure if this is a problem with Pacman, but my root partition seems to have become completely full while updating my system using pacman -Syu. Before updating anything, there seems to have been an update to a new version of Pacman (3.3.1-1) that needed to be installed before updating packages.
In the middle of the updates, I got this error:
error: error writing to file '/var/cache/pacman/pkg/openoffice-base-3.1.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz': No space left on device
Also, I don't know if this is related, but I got a lot of 'not found' errors after that.
The entire output from everything:

Also, I haven't restarted my system yet. Should I try and see what happens?
Thanks!

This happened to me recently. I could not restart my laptop properly due to lack of space on my root partition.
The error during boot was along the lines of:-
Starting D-BUS system messagebus - Failed
Failed to start message bus: Failed to close "var/run/dbus.pid": No space left on drive
Hardware Abstraction Layer - Failed
everything else during the boot was as normal till I started to type in my username - but couldn't because the keyboard was inactive.
I used a Wolvix live CD to investigate and found a QT4 file in the packman cache which was 6.9GB in size (compared to the normal 27mb size). Once that was deleted and the drive/partition error checked everything was back to normal. So before you reboot I would definitely recommend clearing any oversize file out of your packman cache, or just clearing the whole cache.

No matter what I do with pacman, I get Server error

error: directive 'Server' with a value not recognized

Comment off line 274 in the mirrorlist and the next uncommented line is the problem, no matter what I'm trying to install or remove.

I'm new to arch and pacman, but I've been a linux user for years. I installed archlinux a week or two ago and I have been adding and deleting various packages with pacman with no issues until today.
I won't waste space here with the entire mirrorlist, but here is an example line where the error occurs of the line is uncommented...

Error with Pacman

Yesterday I tried to do an upgrade of my system via pacman -Syu and I was told to update pacman (and about two other things which I can't remember what they were) and now I am getting the following error when I try to run pacman -Syu again:
arch linux - pacman:error while loading shared libraries: liblzma.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I found a thread which has a number of fixes but I am unsure which one I should use. The thread is here:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=77382
So I am unsure how to solve this. I would appreciate help on fixing this as I am still a beginner.
Thanks in advance.

Okay I did the above but I got the following errors:

cant open itunes. get error message 7 followed by error message windows error 127. i have redownloaded new updates with luck. window xp

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

After soak test update, I get error messages repeatedly. The majority are "unfortunately, messaging has stopped", but you can replace messaging with "android os", or any other process, as it happens with more than just messaging. I have had numerous people call and ask why I didn't reply to their texts...and I look, but have not received any new texts. YES, I have restarted phone. I have cleared data as well as cache on all apps. I have downloaded the vzw messaging app, which seems silly, since it happens with several different processes and apps, but all to no avail. I am missing texts from my employer, from my family. This did happen, but rarely, before this "soak test". It is now Kitkat version 19.6.3.obake_verizon.en.US. THIS is when I started having problems...like 50 times a day kind of problems! I have seen hundreds of posts all over the internet over the past 3 days. Does no one know how to fix this??? Shouldn't there be a way to revert phone to a pre-update state? and no, hard reset did NOT work!!!! I have been with verizon for well over 15 years, but I have not upgraded my lines and will not in July either. This is ridiculous. It's not like my games aren't working, it is my messaging and "android os"...my lifeline at work!

kristinaf333,
Oh no, I am sorry to hear your messages are not working since the software update. I greatlly appreciate doing all that troubleshooting to try and get the messaging application back in business. I know how much I rely on my messages so I can understand the urgency to get this resolved. Have you had a resolution ticket opened since you started experiencing issues with your messages? Does this happen with all contacts or just some? Please provide additional information to ensure we get to the bottom of this for you.

HT2513 How can I fix iCal that is jammed/frozen/nonresponsive after trying to past in a calendar entry. I've restarted program and computer. Unable to remove entry and associated message "the server responded with an error" ICal stuck updating. Help?

I was trying to past an entry and the iCal program froze with an error message that can't be deleted, the program stuck indicating updating and totally non-reponsive. i can only exit by force quit. It is stuck on yesterday which is the day I was trying to paste an entry. I think the entry was too large. How can I get out of this. i've restarted the program and the ocmputer but it doesn't change. I wonder if I could use time machine to go back to a previous cal version? Any ideas? I have my cal also on iphone and at icloud so I am not at a total loss. Except that i cal is now totally non functional.

Joe,
Try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. To find that folder, use Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart and check iCal for functionality.

Hey erinoneill24,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sounds like you can't update your device. You don't mention an error that it gives you. Take a look at both of these articles to troubleshoot.
iPod displays "Use iTunes to restore" message
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1441?viewlocale=it_it
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808?viewlocale=de_DE_1
If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
Have a nice day,
Mario
