Will killing pacman have any side effects?

Hi recently while doing an upgrade with pacman, the download of a package will stop and I will not get any feedback anymore. So I leave it for a few hours but nothing happens so I decided to ^C which I know will kill pacman. What bad side effects should I expect from doing this? and is anyone else having a similar problem with pacman?

Maybe pacman should be modified to support an option (for pacman.conf) that causes pacman to log a TON of debug info to eg /var/log/pacman-debug.log, and those that experience the issue can try the setting out. And by "ton" I mean... every 2nd line in pacman being a debug_print() call (or whatever)
Just an idea. I like ideas.
You mean like pacman --debug ?
To moljac024 : At which step does pacman stop responding? During download? You might have some network issues, unrelated to pacman.
At least, I don't experience anything similar, and I am sure many other users as well.
Yes, it just hangs during download. And at random times. And no, it's no network issue because as soon as I restart it, it continues downloading. A couple of times I've left my laptop downloading updates and went away doing other things only to return an hour or two later and see that it stopped 5 minutes after it started and had been hanging the whole time.
Should I just run pacman with --debug always ? I guess I could do that.

  • Using Field Blend plug-in, any side effects?

    Cutting an HDV show with lots of action. Camera may have had 'sharpen' mode set too high, but end result is that the action scenes show way too much of the 'interlace lines' in playback on an LCD screen. Distractingly so.
    I used the Field Blend plug-in from Joe's Filters on the whole show, and get a very smooth looking clean result. No interlace lines on LCD screen.
    But! What I'm wondering is: will this have a negative effect when I output the HDV Quicktime master to MPEG2 and DVD?
    Is there some side-effect one has to deal with when using the Field Blend plug-in?
    All ears, thank you,
    Ben

    Are there any side effects of munging two fields
    together? Yes. You are about halving your resolution.
    The show works fine on an NTSC monitor. But the client will be showing it on a lovely new laptop, and also projecting it in a large cinema theatre.
    The thing that puzzles me Patrick, is that I play both versions on a 23 inch Apple HD Cinema monitor and I cannot for the life of me see any difference, other than the 'blended' version is not full of interlace artefacting. I KNOW it's SUPPOSED to be less resolution. But I can't SEE any difference. Maybe on a 35 foot theatre screen?
    Maybe Joe is doing something special with his plug-in?

  • Is there any side effect despite in 'sharing' when I change the computername in os x 10.6

    Hi,
    I'm not sure about any side effect if I change my computer's name (currently like 'first name last name MacbookPro'), e.g will time machine have any trouble with that? Would like to change to a shorter name.
    Computer is in use since 2 years and everything works fine. Just tried to integrate sonos music system with my mac and have trouble sharing iTunes library with sonos. Therefore sonos support asked me to shorten the computers name and see if that helps.
    To me seems more sth like permission problem on one of the folders above iTunes. Is there any logfile I could check to find out about access to files which permission settings don't allow?
    Tia and kind regards

    no.
    you can safely change your computer's name as often as you like.

  • Hey guyz.. i wanna ask if i get an updated version from itunes when i plug my iPhone into the Pc, i get a letter tells me that there is an update for your iPhone ... i wanna ask is it safe to download ?? and does it make any side effects on longTerm using

    hey guyz.. i wanna ask if i get an updated version from itunes when i plug my iPhone into the Pc, i get a letter tells me that there is an update for your iPhone ... i wanna ask is it safe to download ?? and does it make any side effects on longTerm using ??

    It is safe to download if your phone is not jailbroken. Before you download it, however, take some precautions:
    Reboot your computer
    Disable your antivirus and firewall
    Connect the phone cable to a USB port directly on the computer, not a hub
    Before updating right click on the name of the phone in iTunes and choose "Backup"
    When you are given the choice choose "Download only", not "Download and Update"
    After the download completes successfully click the Update button to install it.
    Most of these steps are just being overly cautious, as most people ignore them and have no problems. But occasionally the extra steps save grief.

  • Any side effects on JRE/JVM when setting Desktop Heap Size?

    In Win2003 we experience a limitation of about 70 java.exe's. By setting the Desktop Heap Size we can increase this limit to more than double. Link showing more info on Desktop Heap Size:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/ntdebugging/archive/2007/01/04/desktop-heap-overview.aspx
    Does this give any side effects to the running java.exe's?
    Has anyone experimented with this?

    Hi Bobo
    It seems to be a bit small. I have close the same configuration like you and set the
    maxMemory to 512 MB/server

  • If I upload a site to FTP host (third party hosting), will my client have any kind of site management options like the dashboard page on Business Catalyst?

    I am creating this website for a client, and they want to be able to take it once I'm finished and manage it on their own. However, they are not Adobe users, so I am using BlueHost to host the site instead of Business Catalyst. If I do this, will there be a way that they can view analytics or have any kind of management page like the dashboard in BC? With the new update, they can now use the in-browser editing option through a third party hosting site, but they would like to have something where they can view the analytics.
    I've searched and searched to find an answer to this and haven't found one. I don't want the client to spend the money on the hosting site if it is not the best option for what they want. But, since they are not Adobe users, they can't use BC, and I don't want to use one of my free BC sites.
    Please help!

    You would have to add analytics etc yourself likely Google Analytics. As for a Dashboard, no they won't. On a side note, the client does not have to be an Adobe User to have it hosted on BC. You can just create the site, host it on BC and simply add them as an admin. They don't have to be an Adobe user.

  • My iPad is muted and I don't have any "sound effect" volume and my iPad is completely muted. Why?

    Not sure what to do.. I tried going to the general settings tab and changed my lock setting to mute so I can control the volume from the side switch and still there are no volume bars appear when I try to change the volume. What am I missing? And what does "sound effect" mean?

    Let's go back to basic.
    1. Settings>General>Use Side-Switch To>Lock Rotation
    2. Double-click the Home button and swipe Task Bar to the right.
    3. Make sure the button on the far left of Task Bar is not muted

  • Does using WKA instead of multicast have negative side effects?

    Will it impact Performance?

    Hi Colin,
    I would not expect the performance benefits of multicast to help you out here unless the query (not the result) is very very large, i.e. multi megabyte. Even when unicast is used, we still send the requests out to all nodes asynchronously, so the increase in latency over the multicast approach would be minimal.
    If you are seeing query times increase as the cluster grows it would be more likely attributable to lack of indexs on your caches, or not having indexes on the attributes used in your query. Without an index Coherence is forced to not only iterate every cached item, but also deserialize them (yes it is stored in serialized form).
    Finally cluster wide queries are by their vary nature not scalable unless you've also increased the query set size. Think of it this way, if you have N records in M nodes and perform a query each node will do the following work:
    Q + N/M + A
    Where Q means process the question, and A means send an answer. If N increases and M decreases each node will be able to compute the answer quicker (and it will trend towards zero). But each node still must perform the constants Q and A, so from a cluster wide perspective you are performing M*(Q+A) work and M is increasing. Now if N is also increasing you will still see scalability benefits, as it would have taken a smaller cluster longer to run the query on the bigger data set, but for a fixed size data set you should see diminishing returns.
    In such cases it would be useful to have a look at KeyAssociation, an KeyAssociatedFilter. This approach allows for scalable queries even at fixed size data sets.

  • Does Force Quitting The App have Any Harmful Effects?

    I have an iPod 3G.
    To force quit an app, I heard that for newer models like mine, you have to hold down the hold button, and when the iPod asks you if you want to shut down, you press the home button for five seconds until the iPod returns to the springboard.
    I heard that force quitting an app is good because it stops it from running in the background.
    Is using this method harmful to your iPod in anyway at all?

    iPod touch and iPhone run apps in what is known as a "sandbox". That is, each app is a separate process and starting, stopping, or force quitting has no effect on the OS or other apps.
    As far as background apps go, the only one I can think of is Music. Everything else is the only app running at the time. The only time you should have to force-quit is if the app hangs up.
    BTW, I think you are getting how the iPhone software operates confused with Android - which does keep a number of apps running in the background.

  • Upgrading distribution lists created in Ex2003 - any side-effects or problems elsewhere?

    Hello,
    We migrated from Ex2003 to Ex2010 a couple of years ago. 
    I'm trying to change the name of a few old distribution lists in the EMC and I'm being prompted to "upgrade" them and warned that it's a one-way conversion.
    I know this is needed and I know that it's necessary. My question is if the conversion will ONLY affect the lists, or if it will affect the members or some other part of the Exchange organisation in some way? I also read that it prevents anonymous users
    (ie, Internet users) from mailing the upgraded lists by default.
    Exchange 2010 latest service pack with Outlook 2010 clients. Single forest/domain. DAG-based implementation in two AD-sites.
    Thanks,
    - Alan.

    Hi Alan,
    From your description, I would like to clarify the following thing:
    Upgrading the Exchange version of an object is a one-way-street. After you upgrade the Exchange version of this distribution group, it cannot be managed or downgraded to the Exchange 2003 level with the Exchange admin tools anymore. A user with an Exchange
    2003 mailbox cannot modify the distribution group membership of an Exchange 2010 version distribution group.
    For more information, here is a blog for your reference.

  • Direct posting to contracts - any side effects?

    Hello all,
    Activating this funtionality will allow us to bill directly from contracts, however this functionality will just be helpfull in specific cases. In the major cases, the billing will be processed 'normally', with reference to PO.
    The question is, will what we considerer as normal billing process somehow be affected by the activation of this functionality?
    Thanks in advance,
    Greetings.

    Hi Hakiza
    I would recommend you to create a vendor/customer for the company which has bought your subsidiary and  instead of posting directly to the recon account , make posting to this vendor/customer,

  • Are there any OSS notes side effects.

    Hello Everyone,
                            Can anyone tell me:
       Will there be any side effects if we implement OSS Notes in BW.
    Did anyone face this problem, i'm just asking you because we need to transfer a note from BW dev to BW prd, just wanted to be carefull about this and also
       Did anyone face any drawbacks after the implementation of the note?
       What if we apply the wrong note then how to rectify it? can any one suggest on this.please.

    Hi,
    Advice : You should only apply notes which you have read, once applied to the SAP Dev system you should check (you should have a checklist of things to check) and systematically go through it to see that the OSS note hasn't made something else in the system not work. Once the checks have been carried out and it has solved the original bug that you had then only should you promote it to production.

  • How to minimise side effects of any note / Patch Application

    How can one know that what effect a note / Patch is going to have and what all transaction codes it will hit..
    For example i applied one note which seems to have activated a certain schema which was earlier commented out in the system. resulting in the printing of payslip with incorrect details.
    How can one minimize any side effects of any note applied in the system...kindly suggest.
    Regards,
    Ankush

    Dear All,
    The reason i ask this question on this forum is the fact that in the past few instances i have faced certain issues due to application of notes related to form 24Q (these are the oly notes we have applied)
    and the issues are coming in Payroll, in payslips and certain areas which i feel should remain unaffected by the note application...
    However i appreciate all he answers and also would like to urge SAP to maybe release atleast the standard Testing that should be done after a particular Note application. i do not know if this is a reasonable demand but it is always better to have it right from the horses mouth...
    Hope you agree to this........and will garner support for the same......
    Regards
