Warning: config file /etc/pacman.conf, line 19: directive 'SyncFirst'

what is the new syntax for 'SyncFirst' in pacman 4.1?

it's the first i make when update package (merge changes in /etc/makepkg and /etc/pacman.conf)
but need keep SyncFirst
# If upgrades are available for these packages they will be asked for first
SyncFirst = linux-headers linux-lts-headers
need this to update kernel headers before update kernel, because i use mkinitcpio to update DKMS modules [1]
if upgrade kernel before install headers, the build dkms modules fail

[Solved]Add kernel26 to IgnorePkg in /etc/pacman.conf. Not ignored.

Using kdemod4.3(32bit). I re-installed kernel26-2.6.30.5-1-i686(earliest in pacman pkg cache) and added kernel26 and kernel-headers to /etc/pacman.conf IgnorePkg but # "pacman -Syu" still asks to upgrade kernel to 2.30.6-1-i686. What do I add to that IgnorePkg to avoid kernel upgrade? Tried kernel, kernel26 and kernel26*. Adding nvidia,nvidia-utils and xorg-server to Ignorepkg give me that thee aren't upgraded(desirred result). Thanx.

Here is complete /etc/pacman.conf. file without the "kernel" or "kernel26" entry which doesn't work.

Hi accidentally overwrote new pacman.conf with /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew

Hi
I accidentally overwrote etc/pacman.conf with the old /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew.
Pacman now appears to work but disregards the signing of packages.
Is there an copy of the pacman.conf from the upgrade around so I can merge
the two files. perhaps pacman.conf~, but no I think this is overwritten too.

The pacnew version includes everything for package signing. All you will have lost is any personal changes you have made.
The package signing lines are, however, commented out except for the "SigLevel = Never" line. Just read the instructions within the comments and uncomment the appropriate SigLevel line (and comment the "Never" line).

Pacman not reading /etc/pacman.conf???

All right, I'm sorta new to linux and VERY new to Arch. Love what I see so far, but I've got a little problem.
I've uncommented out and added some repositories in /etc/pacman.conf, but when I run pacman -Syu it only sync's up with the core and extra's database. I have uncommented out testing, and added the kdemod repos... What am I doing wrong???
pacman -Syu
::Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
local database is up to date
Argh!

Yep, should've done that. Sorry!

/etc/pacman.conf question..

This may have been asked before, but I could not find it...
<yes, I did use the search on the forums... >
I was wondering if the NoUpgrade option in pacman.conf uses shell-like wildcard expansion...
Does the following work?
NoUpgrade = etc/host*
shell expansion should expand this to
/etc/host.conf
/etc/hosts
/etc/hosts.allow
/ec/hosts.deny
will pacman do the same?

No, but it would be nice to have something like that (or perhaps better with regexp)
BTW, regexp support for targets was already in pacman wishlist.
I've added noupgrade/ignorepkg options to it.
To be continued...

What is Warning: SUID file, etc. will not be repaired and what is ACL found

please look at my Disk Utility log here and tell me what the SUID warning is about. Should I be concerned and do I need to fix this some way?
Also, the ACL has recently shown up and I don't know what that is.
And, the user/share/derby I don't know where that came from.
Do I have a virus or something?
I have another problem that I will address in a different thread.
Thanks in advance for your help!

How to convert wired network config from /etc/rc.conf to netcfg?

Hi,
I am trying to migrate my wired network configuration from /etc/rc.conf to a netcfg profile.
from /etc/rc.conf
interface=eth0
address=192.168.0.1
netmask=255.255.255.0
gateway=192.168.2.1
/etc/network.d/wired
CONNECTION='ethernet'
DESCRIPTION='A basic static ethernet connection using iproute'
INTERFACE='eth0'
IP='static'
ADDR='192.168.0.1'
GATEWAY='192.168.2.1'
DNS=('192.168.2.1')
NETMASK='255.255.255.0'
The problem is, it does not work: executing "netcfg wired" only gives
:: wired up [BUSY]
> No connection [FAIL]
EDIT:
NETCFG_DEBUG="yes" netcfg wired
DEBUG: Loading profile wired
DEBUG: Configuring interface eth0
:: wired up [BUSY]
DEBUG: status reported to profile_up as:
DEBUG: Loading profile wired
DEBUG: Configuring interface eth0
DEBUG: ethernet_up bring_interface up eth0
> No connection
DEBUG: profile_up connect failed
[FAIL]
Any idea how to make it work?

The rc.conf is correct because there are two diffrent subnets.
My PS3 is connected to my computer via ethernet.
The computer is connected via wifi to the router (ip 192.168.2.1).
When using /etc/rc.d/network to start ethernet everything works perfect, the PS3 can stream video from the computer and access internet.

Yaourt (0.9.4-2) (aur) ignores IgnorePkg rules in /etc/pacman.conf

Usually doing yaourt -Syu --aur goes through and updates all of the packages I installed from aur unless the package is among those listed in the IgnorePkg array in pacman.conf. However, the recently updated yaourt from aur simply ignores the rule and prompts me to upgrade the package anyways. For example, I see this for bin32-wine.

opened a bug report:

Need your expertise advice.
If the settings for kerberos v5 authentication are disabled, is it correct to say that it is not authenticating using Windows 2000.

There are several choices like LDAP, and pGINA

Cannot enable wget in pacman.conf(solved)

Pacman does not recognize wget in /etc/pacman.conf....
[root@n6re ~]# pacman -Scc
error: config file /etc/pacman.conf, line 19: directive 'xferCommand' noted.
[root@n6re ~]#
Attempting to eliminate pacman's filling of my /root partition during full system download I attempted to use wget to aid in downloading. The result is noted above.
My root partition is filled...used
pacman -Scc
once but the problem repeated. Some users use wget to solve the problem so I tried that .
Attempted to use:
pacman -Q |less
The same error concerning wget occured again and no display of installed packages ensued.
So for the present cannot state which pacman version I have installed.
Will restore /etc/pacman.conf to original condition and report further on this problem.

Thanks for the sharp eye.
Reset my modem, re-installed pacman and corrected the pacman.conf entry for wget.
All is well again....

[SOLVED] pacman.conf simple line error or... ?

So here's what happened:
I was trying to enable the [multilib] repository. (As according to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Multilib).
Thus, I went ahead and uncommented the following from /etc/pacman.conf:
[multilib]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
To edit /etc/pacman.conf, I used LibreOffice Writer. I saved the file as a .txt document and made sure that it is properly renamed as pacman.conf.
Next, I went to update pacman's package list by running pacman with the -Sy switch.
And then, voila:
# pacman -Sy
error: config file /etc/pacman.conf, line 1: All directives must belong to a section.
However, when looking at pacman.conf I don't see any errors in line 1. Nor do I see any problems with directives.
Here are the contents of pacman.conf:
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=XWh9eagr
Is there a simple problem with a line in pacman.conf --- or is it because I used LibreOffice Writer instead of Vi? Or?
Is the answer to this right in front of my nose?
Thank ya'll..

LibreOffice Writer is a word processor - it will do odd things to your .conf files. Use a text editor. If you don't want to use vi, then use nano, or gedit or anything other than a word processor.
Moving to NC: not at all related to pacman...

Warning: config file /etc/pacman.conf, line 19: directive 'SyncFirst'
