/usr/bin/fbsetbg: line 169: xmessage: command not (Solved)

I was trying to set my FluxBox background for some time and it did't work everytime..
i edit the .fluxbox/init file as said in the fluxbox dokumentation.. But nothing...
I tried to do it like this : fbsetbg night-elf-1280x.jpg
and the following message came out:
/usr/bin/fbsetbg: line 169: xmessage: command not found
That's not really normal... isn't it...
I googled a bit, but the only information i found was in chinese... so jeah...
Please help me.. What am I doing wrong

You need to install xorg-apps. xmessage is included with this package.
pacman -S xorg-apps

(Solved) fbsetbg: line 153: xmessage: command not found

Hello,
I'm trying to set background image for Fluxbox.
After typing fbsetbg command in xterm I get following error:
$ fbsetbg -f ~/.fluxbox/backgrounds/wallpaper.jpg
/usr/bin/fbsetbg: line 153: xmessage: command not found
The most common way to solve this (according to Internet) is to install xorg-apps, but there is no xmessage app under it.
# pacman -S xorg-apps

Is there a way to fix this?

SOLVED /usr/bin/makepkg: line 552: build: command not found

I'm trying to build a custom kernel, but am receiving this error:
/usr/bin/makepkg: line 552: build: command not found
I've searched all over for a fix, but haven't had any luck, it doesn't seem to be a common error, or it's so incredibly easy to fix that noone has bothered
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for your response, it has failed on two builds, i'll post both.

[SOLVED]/usr/lib/arch-tempfiles line 106: install:command not found

Hi everyone!
This is my boot.log
http://pastebin.com/1gfynhSN
It says"/usr/lib/initscripts/arch-tmpfiles:line 106: install:command not found".This is leading to problems such as dbus and network manager not being started(even manually),no shutdown option,not able to 'open' log files without sudo etc.
I think a possible reason for this is that I had messed up with symlinks.I had issued the command
sudo ln -s /bin/install /usr/bin/install
.Then I had used
cd /bin/
unlink install
Now,I find that /bin/install and /usr/bin/install does not exist.(I have deleted them!) .How can I fix this up?Any help would be appreciated.

Reinstall coreutils (or manually extract install from the package and put it in /usr/bin).

Seems like wget isn't installed.
Thank you. That was the problem.

Cnetworkmanager -- 3G -- python error /usr/bin/cnetworkmanager", line

Sprint sierra 250u usb
already replaced rc.conf network for networkmanager
Testing version of cnetworkmanager, and tried the june 2010 version as well.
using python from testing.
As I only have internet via windows I'm sadly unable to be more comprehensive
without jumping thru hoop so to speak.
REALLY need a cure so that I can PERHAPS get a sprint 250U to connect via 3g.
Not that optimistic. Big apology for having been unable to get online for a couple of days doing this from windows hence lack of detail.
Here's the python error have tried both versions of cnetworkmanager. If I can get my arch updated will it fix it. Haven't updated for a few days.
THANK YOU.
kinda frustrated and that's saying something as it's usually all good fun when times not a problem as it is right now.
Python testing as well, though from a few days ago. Hoping if I can go somewhere and update my arch boot via eth0 it'll make it possible to connect via 3g when I get back home.
may as well ask, anyone know much about what details I need to connect a 3g modem sprint 250u

Good gravy, 3 GB of updates? I think you win an award for that or something.
When something like this happens to me I usually only have, like, a couple of packages that I'm updating. I assume, for some reason, the new bash package is conflicting with your old bash package. So I would (temporarily) uninstall bash, then go ahead and reinstall install (only) bash.
...so, either this will help you, or someone smarter than me will respond almost instantly telling you that I'm giving you horrible advice and teach you what you SHOULD do to resolve the problem. Either way, you're welcome.

It looks like you might not have patch installed. What happens when you type
pacman -Q patch
If you get an error that the patch package is not found, install base-devel.

I'm trying to get nwn-diamond going, and when I try to build binkplayer I get the error:: line 20: unrar: command not found
So- I think I need to edit my .bashrc but like in this wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Core_Utilities
but I dont really know how to go about doing that. I need a super simple step by step to get me started on something like this.

Okay thank you for the first help, that took care of it, but a new issue is up, When it starts the build I get this error.
I do have a NWN Diamond DVD and it is in the drive- how do I make the builder look to the drive?

After 6 hours of experimenting, disconnecting devices, formatting my hard drive (joy!) and getting nowhere, I found the problem: apparently, Leopard has trouble dealing with some characters in the volume name (in my case it was '). Rename the volume to something simple, short and with no weird characters and the Leopard will install.
And, to Apple: I'm very disappointed with the quality of the Leopard install. If a character is valid in OS X, the setup should support it!
Best regards,
IYan

[SOLVED] Unable to build packages from AUR (build: command not found)

I recently hosed the filesystem on my arch install of ~8 months. I reinstalled arch today and didn't have many problems since I had backups of many important config files. Anyways, I still need to get a few programs installed from AUR, but nothing I get from AUR will build.
I download the tarball, extract into a folder in /home/myuser/builds and then go into that folder and run makepkg -s (as always)
It checks the files and extracts/downloads them. Then I get the following error message:
==> Starting build()...
/usr/bin/makepkg: line 741: build: command not found
==> ERROR: Build Failed.
Aborting...
I've run abs and I checked out the abs wiki page, I've also installed base-devel. I am not sure what else I need to do, the error message is not specific enough.
The packages I have been trying to install are ttf-ms-fonts 2.0-7, keepass 2.14-2, and I also tried ttf-vista-fonts 1-3. I am fairly certain that it is not a problem with the PKGBUILD files.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Nope, haven't tried that, I think mainly because I wanted to learn how to use pacman and how to build using ABS. At this point I think I know how to use pacman/abs, as much as this thread might make it appear that I dont
I'll give it a try, as I frequently install software from AUR. In the past I think I let software from the AUR get outdated, Yaourt (clumsy name) sounds like it would help that a bit. Thanks!
Edit: BTW, I really love Arch. I tried it out on a flash drive about 8 months ago (maybe more), and after about 12 hours I was sold and installed it on the drive that Windows XP previously held. Even considering that I had many problems during the initial install, but they were all problems that caused me to learn and were easy to resolve. Seriously, I have lots of Windows tech experience, but only Arch forced me to learn Linux. I had tried Ubuntu previously but it was such a bore, and the problems tended to be hard to find solutions for. I try to convince my other Linux using friends to try arch, but they see it as too hands-on. I don't see it that way, it is very hands off after initial configuration, and the initial config only takes a week or less on the first try and a day and a half (or so) if you re-install. Having backups of your config files is of course a huge deal, and I am glad I had most of those.
Really, I love Arch Linux, it has taught me so much.

Command not found

Hi everyone!
Why would I get this error using "mv" in a do shell script?
/bin/sh: line 1: mv: command not found (127)
I should mention that I've only had this reported by one person to me...but any other users including myself never get this error. It's part of a Applescript Studio app...
Thanks for the help,
Reg

Hi Reggie,
For some reason, for this one user, the shell is unable to find the "mv" command on his machine (but I guess that's fairly obvious from the message he gets).
The shell only looks for commands in specific directories that are listed in it's $PATH variable. Normally the mv command is found at /bin/mv and also normally the /bin directory is in the shell's $PATH. So...
- this user's $PATH variable could be messed up or it could have been modified so that it no longer includes /bin. Typing in Terminal:
<pre>
echo $PATH
</pre>
will display the list of directories currently in the $PATH variable. This is what I get on my machine:
/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
If /bin is not in the $PATH then the shell will not find /bin/mv.
- it's possible that the mv command was somehow deleted from the user's machine. Typing
<pre>
which mv
</pre>
will tell you where the shell finds the mv command. Or if it's not found in any of the directories in $PATH then it will state that mv was not found and list the directories it looked in. For example:
<pre>
iMacHerman:~ steve$ which mv
/bin/mv
</pre>
Or if I try with a command I know does not exist:
<pre>
iMacHerman:~ steve$ which mx
no mx in /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin
</pre>
Also: "ls -l /bin/mv" will tell you if mv is present in it's normal location. I get:
<pre>
iMacHerman:~ steve$ ls -l /bin/mv
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 19060 Aug 17 00:22 /bin/mv
</pre>
- I suppose it's also possible that installing some open source or gnu libraries could have replaced the default "/bin/mv" command with a different version in a different location. But if so, this would be an indication that the new location has not been specified in the user's $PATH.

/usr/bin/bash runs a new shell where PS1 is not set

When I execute the command bash in my terminal, it opens a new shell which properly reads all bashrc contents. But when I run /usr/bin/bash, then it is as if $PS1 is not set and those parts in my bashrc that are supposed to used only for interactive shells are not read at all.
The weird part is running which bash gives /usr/bin/bash. So, I'm not able to figure out why running bash and /usr/bin/bash produce different results. Also, although it appears as if $PS1 is not being set (based on reading of my bashrc), the prompt is still being set.
Can anyone explain why this variation is happening?
PS: Not sure if this matters, but my bashrc is not in the default location. It is in ~/.config/bash and I've modified my /etc/bash.bashrc to source the local bashrc from the custom location.

Does the behaviour persist if you move .bashrc back to the conventional location?
Yeah, the behaviour persists even after moving back bashrc.
The contents of my /etc/bash.bashrc file:

What makes you think $PS1 is not being set if the prompt is correct?
Both bash/xdg and bash/private are getting sourced. But when I run /bin/bash, the other files (colors, general, aliases etc.) are not getting sourced. Since, I'm doing a $PS1 test before sourcing these files, I concluded that $PS1 is not being set.

Have all the users with GNOME started a root's Terminal window???
I've noticed that using the Gnome's root terminal messes up the $PATH variable (as of today)... when i start archlinux (note: i don't use GDM) my path is:
/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin....
and many other items... but when a root terminal is started inside gnome, $PATH changes to:
/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/bin:/etc
And ldconfig will fail... (and any other tool in /sbin) this change is restricted to this window only. If you exit the root terminal and go to a normal terminal, the path is what is expected.
This happens on a clean reformatted machine, installed archlinux, doing a pacman -Syu, installing gnome and all extras (including system administrations tools) (as tested today).
Maybe some config file is messed or is a bug from the Gnome guys...
Anyways the only workaround i can think is to start a normal terminal (for the guys that use gnome or use GDM to start their machines) and in the terminal doing a "su -" to got root access (of course will ask for the password) and then update/install/whatever you want with pacman.
And sorry about my english.
J.
