Why pacman do not prompt I have installed that package???
I found that pacman do not prompt installed packages. It leads to reinstalling packages.
It's a bad situation...
The times I miss "--needed" as default option, is when I install groups where I already have installed some packages of this group. Every time I see myself starting pacman twice. First without and then with "--needed".
I mean whenever I explicit say "pacman install foo" and I already have foo, I expect pacman to just install foo, as I know what I'm doing. Or maybe it should say "You already have foo, do you really want (Y/N)?". But when I install a group and there are single packages already installed, then I want pacman to just install the rest of the group, not the packages that I already have.
I see that this is a break in consistency, but maybe its more that what the user wants. At least its more what I want
Maybe it could just be solved with the silly question "foo, bar and something other are already installed, do you want do install them again (Y/N)?"

I have a cd of New Yorker magazine cartoons which I got in 2004. It requires adobe 6.0.1 but my computer will not allow me to install that version as it is outdated. I have windows 7. How to I get this CD to open? -Bob
If the CD absolutely requires that old version, then it is basically obsolete. However, it might work with the current version ... have you installed the current version of Adobe Reader, and if so what does it say when you try to use the CD?

Question
All of a sudden, Adobe Flash is not working. Have installed the latest version to no avail. This happened at the same time on four (4) computers! Any suggestions?Well, I kinda figured that was true, so I disabled it. Firefox does not lock up now. I suspect it might be a Google Finance page graph that is causing the problem, rather that Flash. Thanks for all your help. J

RMAN-05556: not all datafiles have backups that can be recovered to SCN
Oracle 11.2.0.2 SE-One
Oracle Linux 5.6 x86-64
Weekly refresh of a test db from prod, using rman DUPLICATE DATABASE, failed with “RMAN-05556: not all datafiles have backups that can be recovered to SCN”
Background Summary:
Weekly inc 0 backup of production starts on Sunday at 0100, normally completes around 1050. Includes backups of archivelogs
Another backup of just archivelogs runs on Sunday at 1200, normally completes NLT 1201.
On the test server, the refresh job starts on Sunday at 1325. In the past this script used a set until time \"to_date('`date +%Y-%m-%d` 11:55:00','YYYY-MM-DD hh24:mi:ss')\"; -- hard-coded for ‘today at 11:55’.
For a variety of reasons I decided to replace this semi-hard coding of the UNTIL with a value determined by querying the rman catalog, getting the completion time of the inc 0 backup. This tested out just fine in my vbox lab, even when I deliberately drove some updates and log switches during the period the backup was running. But the first time to go live I got the above reported error.
Details:
The key part of the inc 0 backup is this (run from a shell script)
export BACKUP_LOC=/u01/backup/dbprod
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target=/ catalog rman/***@rmcat<<EOF
configure backup optimization on;
configure default device type to disk;
configure retention policy to recovery window of 2 days;
crosscheck backup;
crosscheck archivelog all;
delete noprompt force obsolete;
delete noprompt force expired backup;
delete noprompt force expired archivelog all;
configure controlfile autobackup on;
configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to '$BACKUP_LOC/%d_%F_ctl.backup';
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '$BACKUP_LOC/%U.rman' MAXPIECESIZE 4096 M;
sql "alter system archive log current";
show all;
backup as compressed backupset archivelog all delete all input format "$BACKUP_LOC/%U.alog";
backup as compressed backupset incremental level 0 database tag tag_dbprod;
sql "alter system archive log current";
backup as compressed backupset archivelog all delete all input format "$BACKUP_LOC/%U.alog";
list recoverable backup;
EOF
The archivelog-only backup (runs at noon) looks like this:
export BACKUP_LOC=/u01/backup/dbprod
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target=/ catalog rman/***@rmcat<<EOF
configure backup optimization on;
configure default device type to disk;
configure retention policy to recovery window of 2 days;
crosscheck backup;
crosscheck archivelog all;
delete noprompt force obsolete;
delete noprompt force expired backup;
delete noprompt force expired archivelog all;
configure controlfile autobackup on;
configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to '$BACKUP_LOC/%d_%F_ctl.backup';
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '$BACKUP_LOC/%U.rman' MAXPIECESIZE 4096 M;
sql "alter system archive log current";
show all;
backup as compressed backupset archivelog all delete all input format "$BACKUP_LOC/%U.alog";
list recoverable backup;
EOF
And the original refresh looked like this:
>> a step to ftp the backups from the prod server to the test server, and some other housekeeping <<, then
cd /backup/dbtest
echo "connect catalog rman/***@rmcat" > /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "connect target sys/*******@dbprod" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "connect auxiliary /" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "run {" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "set until time \"to_date('`date +%Y-%m-%d` 11:55:00','YYYY-MM-DD hh24:mi:ss')\";" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "duplicate target database to DBTEST;" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "}" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
So, my mod to the refresh was
bkup_point=`sqlplus -s rman/***@rmcat <<EOF1
set echo off verify off feedback off head off pages 0 trimsp on
select to_char(max(completion_time),'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss')
from rc_backup_set_details
where db_name='DBPROD'
and backup_type='D'
and incremental_level=0
exit
EOF1`
cd /backup/dbtest
echo "connect catalog rman/***@rmcat" > /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "connect target sys/*******@dbprod" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "connect auxiliary /" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "run {" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "set until time \"to_date('${bkup_point}','YYYY-MM-DD hh24:mi:ss')\";" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "duplicate target database to DBTEST;" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
echo "}" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
Now the fun begins.
First, an echo in the refresh script confirmed the ‘bkup_point’:
=======================================================
We will restore to 2013-08-25 10:41:38
=======================================================
Internally, rman reset the ‘until’ as follows:

contents of Memory Script:

Examining the result of LIST BACKUP (the last step of all of my rman scripts) the full backup shows this:

Notice the slight difference in time between what is reported in the LIST BACKUP and what was reported by my query to the catalog.
Continuing with the backup list, the second archivelog backup in the script generated six backupsets. The fifth set showed:

Notice the availability of the archivelogs including the referenced scn.
Investigation of the ftp portion of the refresh script confirmed that all backup pieces were copied from the prod server.
So what am I overlooking? Having reverted back to the original script to get the refresh completed,HemantKChitale wrote:
So, technically, you only need the database and archivelogs backed up by the database script and not the noon run of the archivelog backup.
backup as compressed backupset archivelog all delete all input format "$BACKUP_LOC/%U.alog";
backup as compressed backupset incremental level 0 database tag tag_dbprod;
sql "alter system archive log current";
backup as compressed backupset archivelog all delete all input format "$BACKUP_LOC/%U.alog";
Yet, why does backupset 5 of the noon archivelog backup show archivelogs from 10:30 to 10:40 if they had been deleted by the database backup script which has a delete input ? It is as if the database backup script did NOT delete the archivelogs and the noon run was the one to backup the archivelogs (again ?)
No, that is from the morning full backup. Note the 'Completion Time" of 25-Aug-2013 10:54:53
However, the error message seems to point to a datafile. Why would reverting the recovery point to 11:55 make a difference, I wonder.
As do I.
Also puzzling to me are the times associated with the completion of the backups. I don't recall ever having to scrutinize a backup listing this closely so I'm sure it's just a matter of filling in some gaps in my understanding, but I noticed this. The backup report (list backup;) shows this for the inc 0 backup:

I hope this posts in a readable, understandable manner. I really struggeled with the 'enhanced editor', which I normally use.

Why does Flash Player prompt me to install an incompatible version on Mac?
Users of OS X 10.5 and 10.4 have noticed that with the release of Flash Player 11, the auto update mechanism will prompt them that an update is available. While this is typically normal behavior when an update occurs, in this case Flash Player 11 does not support 10.4 and 10.5. So, why is the updater telling them to update?
Unfortunately, our current auto update mechanism isn't able to determine if a new update is compatible with the current OS version. We are aware that this isn't optimal, but we did add in logic to help minimize the noise. Here's what will happen.
A user of an unsupported OS will get a notification that a new update is available
They'll download the update and attempt to install
The installer will notice that the OS is not supported and will:
Alert the user with an error telling them that the OS is unsupported
Set a flag telling the update mechanism to stop checking for future updates
So while you'll get one update notification, once the installer tells the auto update mechanism to stop you shouldn't see any more.Can you post a screenshot of such an update notice?

[Solved] Trick pacman into thinking I have installed a package
First, I would like to say that if there's another thread on this, I haven't found it. I did find one similar thread that was solved, but the person that solved it just gave a PKGBUILD and told the user to install it. I'd at least like to know what he/she did so I can do it on my own. The package I self-compiled was different from his, so I cannot use his solution, plus I just like to know how to do these things should the problem ever show itself again or I need to do this to another package or for another person. Give someone a fish/teach someone to fish...
That aside, one of the first things I did with my arch box was compile JACK myself. I always like to tweak it's options and make it just right for what I want to use it for, and I use an irregular version, so it made sense to compile it from source. One configure, make, make install later, I had JACK in my system! Unfortunately when compiling like that, pacman's database isn't updated so it was convinced that I did not, in fact, have jack. Since then I have lived with editing jack out of the PKGBUILDs of any jack-requiring package I wanted to install.
There has to be a better way! So, I call upon you, those who are archier than I, to assist me in solving my problem! I've been using linux for years, so you don't have to explain it to a three year old, but I have only been using arch for a couple months (and so far, it's AWESOME!). Thanks in advance, and have a great day!
Last edited by nullh (2010-08-10 15:19:06)My apologies, I've never made a pkgbuild before. I don't make packages, I just use them.
I did make a PKGBUILD just now, though, and it does appear to work. Thanks for the words of encouragement.
For anyone else that needs this, I'll copy and paste what I have in the PKGBUILD file. If it's wrong, you can slap me on the wrist, but it seemed to do the job!

pkgver=('1.9.5')
pkgrel=('1')

Audio device is not working, i have installed proper drivers, but audio device is not working
hi,
I have installed registery mechanic last week and made a system run in my laptop. After re starting my laptop, my audio devices are not working fine. I have installed the drives correctly and they are reflecting in program lists, how ever the audio device is not working. If I am reinstalled the system, My audio device is working fine, I have installed a fresh OS, but sitll its not working fine, could you help me to fix this one.Tecra A8
Model No = PTA83L-04C02N
Can you please tell me from where I need driver so that my "Fn" key will be operation? Right now I tried to use "Fn" with F6 and F7 which suppose to change screen resolutions but nothing is happening.
Can you please tell me if I reinstall New OS (Windows XP - Sp2) then in which order which driver and Toshiba software I should install?
Hard to find XP drivers and utilities for that machine, Manoj. But you're in luck because the Asian part-number family PTA83L corresponds to the European PTA83E.
Go to the European download site and look up the Tecra A8 with Short Model No. PTA83E. You'll find 40 XP drivers, utilities, and BIOS updates.
Install the Chip Set Utility first, then the Display Driver, and then the other major drivers. Install the Common Module prior to Toshiba utilities and other programs.
Good luck!

[pacman] Error when i try to install any package
Hi,
since a few days, i've got some problems with pacman.
For example, i try to install 'filezilla' and i've got these messages :
Erreur: échec de récupération du fichier 'libsm-1.1.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz' depuis ftp.free.fr : Service not available, closing control connection
I've try to change the mirror used by pacman, but nothing has changed.
In fact, i'm not sure, but it seems that these problems have appeared since i upgraded pacman to new version 3.4
Thanks for your help.Firstly, thank you i used 'export' since now to have messages in english.
So the error message is :
error: failed retrieving file 'gtkhtml-3.30.2-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz' from ftp.free.fr : Service not available, closing control connection
Secondly, i tried pacman -Syy before used pacman -Syu filezilla, but nothing changed.
My mirrorlist is :
Server = ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.archlinux … po/os/i686

When I load Firefox my Yahoo toolbar with all my links that I use does not load! I've been dealing with this for a long time! And as much as I hate Internet Explorer, you are forcing me to go back to it after 3 years with Firefox! Why dose your program have to be so uncooperative. If I can't access my program with ease, what good are you? I don't have this problem with IE. I have been using Firefox because it's so much faster than IE. But If I have to waste all this time trying to re-install Yahoo toolbar or type in Internet addresses, You really are no better, even worse!

Why does iPhoto not open after Yosemite install?
I just installed Yosemite and iPhoto says I need an upgrade before it will open and I do not know where to find the upgrade. I have not been able to find it in the app store.
Thanks for the reply but that did not help. I was actually in the Mac App Store (the blue icon with the A). So am still looking for a solution. I don't ever remember doing an iPhoto upgrade and wondering if that could have something to do with it perhaps not recognizing the version I had!
