What do I need to do after my first pacman -Syu

(After installing from CD)
Running pacman -Syu prints some important messages while running--like 'do this or you'll get a kernel panic after reboot' and then scrolls them off the screen to make room for other messages but conveniently doesn't log them anywhere. (By the way, it would be a good idea TO log them somewhere, in my opinion.)
So, now that I have that kernel panic, does anyone know what all I was supposed to do after updating?

Few things, which ISO did you install from, the new 0.8 Voodoo?  Also, note that you can always press Shift-PageUp to view console messages that have already scrolled by.  With the new version of pacman (now in testing) all of those messages are logged, and eventually there should be a cleaner implementation of those logs since it has been a long-time complaint of users.
Without knowing which ISO you used, by first guess would be that you need to update the initrd line in your grub menu.lst config file to be "kernel26.img".  If that's not it, give us more info and we'll see what we can do.

  • What do I need to do after I upgrade the hard drive on my macbook pro?

    I just bought a new 13" Macbook pro i5 on May/03/13 but I need more space and I want to upgrade my Hard Drive from the 500GB it come's with to a 750GB. So I just want to know the steps I need to take after I do the upgrade and start up my Macbook, Someone told me that the Macbook won't work right away because I have to do something to it, I just dont know what. Can anybody plz tell me what I have to do after I do the upgrade step by stpe? Thank You!
    Oh and my Macbook pro is on OSX 10.8.3

    Correct. After installing the new hard drive, your Mac won't have any operating system, so you will have to reinstall OS X using Internet Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    To start in Internet Recovery, hold Command, Option (Alt) and R keys while your Mac is starting. Then, open Disk Utility and create a partition formatted with "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)", if it hasn't been already created. Finally, close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X.
    If you want to copy all the data you had on the old hard drive into the new one, use Disk Utility's Restore feature > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU7.html Note that you will have to buy an enclosure to put the old hard drive

  • [Solved] Cant get fglrx to load after an overdue pacman -Syu

    I tried to launch steam tonight after doing a long overdue pacman -Syu yesterday, and it gave an error about GL. Upon closer inspection, no GL apps will run, giving similar errors:

    I'm using the unofficial pacman repo from Vi0l0, so I also tried his catalyst-hook package, and the catalyst and catalyst-hook packages from AUR, running catalyst_build_module all and rebooting a couple times, but with no success. (his repos seem to have newer versions of the packages anyways)
    Any idea what the root of the problem might be, or what I should try next?
    my kernel is:
    $ uname -r
    3.10.10-1-ARCH

    Ok, so I'm gonna go ahead and answer my own question! (This is why I dont usually post in forums!)
    I installed catalyst-test from AUR. Everything is fine now.
    Guess I didnt see that the first time looking through the older forum posts.

  • No network after first pacman -Syu, don't know why

    Hi All,
    I've been lurking on the boards since I installed Arch on a old Pentium II machine last summer.  I was pretty impressed how well it ran on crappy old hardware, so I am trying to put it on a much nicer Athlon 1200 box I recently aquired.  But I am having problems with the internet connection after the install.
    The new system doesn't have a ethernet card, so I am using a Linksys usb-to-ethernet adapter.  According to this website:
    http://www.linuxcompatible.org/cdetail10700.html
    this adapter should work with Linux and uses a module called CDCEther.
    After installing off the base CD I burned back in about June and fiddling with rc.conf to get it set up for dhcp, I was able to get on the internet.  So I proceeded to do a pacman -Syu and rebooted once it was finished.  After that boot I can no longer get to the internet at all.  I can't even ping my linksys router which is the gateway.  If I do ifconfig eth0 it says device not found, and if I do netstat -r it returns nothing at all.
    I didn't add kernel26 to my IgnorePkg line in pacman.conf.  Is it possible that the kernel got upgraded and now it can't load the module for my adapter?  When I do a uname -a it says the kernel rev is 2.6.10, while before the pacman -Syu I think it was 2.6.3.  I notice if I do modprobe CDCEther it says there is no such thing.  I didn't try that before it broke though, I didn't have any reason to check it out since everything was working.  But I assume it would have found the module then since I could get on the network just fine. . .
    What is my best option here?  Does anybody know how I can fix this situation, or should I just reinstall?  And if I do reinstall should I use the ftp install instead of going off the CD like I did this time?
    Thanks,
    Ralph

    I have nailed down the problem more and found a workaround for now.  I'll add the info here in case somebody else finds this post when working on a similar problem.
    I tried changing CDCEther to usbnet in both modprobe.conf and rc.conf as that link I posted above suggested.  That didn't help.  After rebooting I still had no network connection even though lsmod showed the usbnet module was running.
    So I left those files with usbnet in them and downgraded the kernel to the 2.6.3 version on my base install CD from last summer.  After doing that and booting the USB to ethernet adapter is fine and I can get to the internet.  So clearly it was the pacman -Syu upgrading the kernel that broke it, I just don't know why.
    For now I have put kernel26 in my IgnorePkg line of pacman.conf so this won't happen again.  I would guess if I figure out why it broke I could upgrade the kernel by recompiling or using ABS as people suggested above.  But I'll wait till I have a little more experience and know more about why the newer kernel didn't work before I try that.
    Thanks again to iBertus and sarah31 for the help.

  • [SOLVED]wlanwep encryption is failing after system update(pacman -Syu)

    After a system update with "pacman -Syu" my wlan encryption does not work anymore.

    Wep and ath9k has been buggy for me for a long time now - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Never got around it, adding "options ath9k nohwcrypt=1" into /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf seemed to work for some time. You could give it a try. The network I have problems with is at the university, they use wep + vpn to connect. I can connect fine (like in your last iwconfig), but dhcpd times out.
    If you have control over the network, you could just switch to wpa - safer anyway. Or search the forum for "atheros wep", it is a somewhat common problem I think.
    P.S.: please use code tags when posting console output.

  • What do I need to do AFTER installing RAM

    OK
    I just upgraded two G5 dual processor machines in my dept.
    Went from 2.5G to 4G in one and 1G to 4G in the other.
    I really have not noticed any sizeable improvement in speed.
    System profiler says "OK" on memory. They are all matched, same brand etc...
    MAC HELP did not have any tips about installing RAM.
    My question is; must I do anything AFTER installing RAM such as reset PRAM, permissions etc...

    No. There is nothing more you need to do.
    Going from 2.5 to 4 will probably not make that much difference, unless you are using high-end apps like Final Cut Pro that use a lot of RAM, or you run many apps at the same time.
    I definitely noticed a big difference going from 0.5 to 1.5. I only noticed a small difference going from 1.5 to 2.5.

  • What do I need to do after installing a new hard drive?

    I had a 13" Non-retina MacBook Pro from mid-2012 and I bought it standard, but I upgraded my RAM from 4GB to 8GB, but also while on this website that I bought the RAM modules from, I noticed they sell Solid State Drives and I would have gotten one, but I wanted to upgrade it later on as I didn't have $500 for the 512GB flash drive for it. I need something with storage and 500GB is plenty, but I found a 960GB SSD for $500 on this website. Its a very good website for upgrades for all computers. So my question is, when I install this new hard drive, can I just hold Command+ R to install Mac OS X or do I need to go through a special process to get OS X on the new hard drive? I have an Apple Time Capsule so I have my data backed up and I'll just restore it from a backup. If I need a special cable to boot OS X to the new drive, then so be it.

    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5210788?tstart=0
    At startup hold down the Command+Option/Alt+r keys until you see a globe on the screen. Then use disk utility to partition and format the drive HSF+ and then select Reinstall Mac OS X. whatever version of OS X that originally came on your system will be installed and then you can upgrade back to Mavericks.

  • Is there any place I can see a full list of what is available in my iCloud after my first full match?

    It'd be really nice if I could log into a website somewhere which would list what's been matched, what's been not matched, but uploaded, and what's been purchased.
    Seems like the only way is to open up a new install of iTunes and watch iCloud populate a blank library.

    Sorry but no, Apple cannot give you that information. The only way they could give anyone such an IP address would be if they received a court order to do so, if even then; I don't know what sort of tracking and logs they do.
    However, if this email claimed that someone had tried to reset your password and in any way gave you a link to click to confirm your account information, the email was almost certainly a phish. Such phishing messages have been quite common over the last two or three weeks and should be deleted without responding. You may wish to manually type in the URL for Apple's page for managing an Apple ID and change your password, just as a precaution, and make sure you've set good security questions using responses that can't just be looked up for you (they don't have to be real information; you can use any response you wish as long as you can remember what you entered).
    Regards.

  • Claws-mail won't start after the last pacman -Syu

    Get this error, when starting claws-mail
    The program 'claws-mail' received an X Window System error.
    This probably reflects a bug in the program.
    The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
    (Details: serial 6151 error_code 8 request_code 2 minor_code 0)
    (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
    that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
    To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
    option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
    backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

    I have a desktop mac operating on Mac OSx 10.4.11 and the system does not recognize my iphone and I am unable to upgrade to the newest itunes version. What do I need to do?

    Backup first
    It is always best to have a full bootable backup before you upgrade. If you fail to do this you will be unable to return to this OS if you decide you don't like the new OS. Also there is a slight chance that an install could lose everything on the Mac. The backup must be to an external hard disk. Preferably use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a bootable backup of the whole disk.
    Erase before the install
    Once you have a bootable backup on an external disk it is best to erase the internal disk with the new installer DVD before you install.
    During the install
    Preferably do not import any data or preferences from earlier OSs during the install process as this can reintroduce bugs.
    OS numbers and names
    OS X 10.4.x - Tiger
    OS X 10.5.x - Leopard
    OS X 10.6.x - Snow Leopard
    OS X 10.7.x - Lion
    OS X 10.8.x - Mountain Lion
    More about Macs
    The Apple History site has specifications for every Mac ever produced: http://www.apple-history.com/
    Upgrade to Leopard
    Those wishing to upgrade to Leopard should be aware that install disks can be expensive unless you contact Apple. Details: http://lowendmac.com/deals/best-os-x-leopard-prices.html Standard Leopard installers impose several hardware limitations including speed and RAM size but all these restrictions can be overcome. Google for details. Leopard works well at 500 MHz with 1 GB of RAM and many happy users have less than this.
    Upgrade beyond Leopard
    OSs beyond OS X 10.5.8 require an Intel processor. If in doubt check this: Click the apple at the top left of your screen and select 'About this Mac'. This will give you your OS number. Then click 'More Info' to see which processor you have. If it says PowerPC you cannot upgrade to Snow Leopard and above. If you have an Intel Mac it is well worth upgrading to Snow Leopard now and then considering other options after that. You can buy Snow Leopard here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
    Upgrade beyond Snow Leopard
    Information about upgrading Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD256Z/A

    Check that your Mac complies with any requirements. If you are not in the US you should use the Change Country link at the bottom of Apple pages.

  • Hello, i currently run 10.5.8 and would like to upgrade to enable me to pair my phone with my mack, how do i do it and what do i need to buy ?

    hello i currently run 10.5.8 and would like to upgrade tp pair my i phone and stop e-mail probs,  how do i do it and what do i need to buy ?

    You first need to purchase and install OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Also, it wouldn't hurt to increase the RAM in your iMac.
    Your year and model iMac can take 4 GBs of RAM. Out of that amount of RAM, the 2006 iMac will recognize between 3.1 and 3.4 GBs of that total RAM.
    Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
    Once OS X 10.6 is installled , you will need to use OS X Software Update function in OS X's System Prefernces Panel to update to OS X to OS X 10.6.8. This will give your iMac access to the Mac App Store.
    If you wish, your iMac year and model can only be updated to OS X 10.7 Lion. Your hardware limits you to OS X 10.7 Lion. Your iMac can't run or install OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion OR OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
    My strong advice is that you keep your iMac model on OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. OS X 10.7 Lion needs a full 4 GBs of RAM, for the OS alone. Your Mac barely meets this requirement and will leave no additonal RAM to efficiently run any additional application without severly slowing down your iMac.
    Before embarking on a OS X system upgrade, it would be very prudent to back up all of your important, personal data, beforehand.
    You can choose just to backup the most important data by either burning data to CDs/DVDs, or copying data to large capacity USB flash drives.
    The two better methods is to purchase a good quality external hard drive and backup the data and OS using OS X's Time Machine app to back your data up to an externally connected hard drive.
    The other method is to backup your entire system and data using data cloning apps such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper to clone an exact copy of your iMac's internal hard drive to the externally connected hard drive.   Cloning data to an external drive will give that drive the ability to boot from in an emergency. Your Mac will be able to be booted and run off of an external drive.
    The type of connection of an external hard drive is yours to choose. The two types of data transfer connections your Mac can use are USB 2.0 or FireWire 400/800.
    If you want a hard drive that has a faster, continuous throughput of data and the possibilty of running your iMac from an external hard drive (in the event your Mac's internal hard drive fails or data becomes corrupt and your Mac system won't boot to the Mac's internal drive) opt for a FireWire drive. If none of this is important to you, then get a hard drive that uses a USB 2.0 connection, instead.

    Trying to reinstall iTunes, get Apple Mobile Device failure to start-Verify sufficient privledges error. What do I need to do.

    Hey CarleneS,
    First, I would try the steps in here:
    How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
    If you end up having to remove and reinstall iTunes, make sure you follow all of the steps in this link:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    This section contains information that might help your situation, as the order and manner which you uninstall has an effect on the outcome:
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    Let us know if following that article and uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.

  • Pacman -Syu returns system up to date after a new 2008.03 (solved)

    I just installed arch from the march 08 live cd (the new cd got stuck on the grub boot screen, but that is another bug for another thread).
    I eventually got a totally working installation (installing only core packages).
    what's strange is, i've updated pacman's package list and a pacman -Syu says the local system is up to date, but for whatever reason, no package was actually downloaded or updated. My kernel is stil 2.6.24-arch, my klibc is 1.5.5... What gives?
    everything i read says all you need to do is run a pacman -Syu, but clearly there should have been updates from the core packages between march and now? (i know there has been, and that packages are updated constantly).
    clearly i'm missing something simple here. Sorry for the stupid question.
    (i uncommented the achlinux.org repo line in the mirrorlist, and i'm sure this is the server pacman is using).
    thanks for any help.

    oops, my bad. that was a typo.
    a pacman -Syu yields a local database is up to date
    the first time i did a pacman -Sy it downloaded and updated some new dbs... but the  -Syu has always returned that the system is up to date, when i'm fairly certain it isnt... if i am running kernel 2.6.24, that is old right? i should be presented with some updates if i just installed the march live cd...
    thanks,

  • Lost sound in Freevo after "pacman - Syu"

    Hi!
    I've been using freevo all day but after doing a "pacman -Syu" I've lost the sound. No files will play and just skips to the next. The terminal output from freevo is this:
    failed to load plugin alsamixer2
    start 'freevo plugins -l' to get a list of plugins
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/build/community/multimedia/freevo/pkg/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/freevo/plugin.py", line 555, in __load_plugin__
    exec('import %s' % module)
    File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
    File "/build/community/multimedia/freevo/pkg/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/freevo/plugins/alsamixer2.py", line 35, in <module>
    ImportError: No module named alsaaudio
    I checked the pacman log and the files that got updated was:

    [2008-07-18 17:32] synchronizing package lists
    [2008-07-18 17:32] starting full system upgrade
    Does anyone know what's happened to the alsamixer2 plugin here? Did the upgrade of python-pysqlite do this? Looks like something happened when I did the last update...

    I'm really not sure how to downgrade...
    Where do I get the old version of the files? Like python-pysqlite-2.3.5-1...
    Thanks for the help!
    Nvm, I found them in the cache.
    No I didn't I can't find the old versions. At least not python-pysqlite-2.3.5-1.
