Yaourt -Sybu - What does it do and why it doesn't work?

AFAIK yaourt -Sybu updates and builds packages. But I can't get it to work. I always get this error: *name of the package*m wasn't found on abs repos.archlinux.org.
I do have abs working, though I never actually tried to build anything using it.
Also is it worth it? Are there any real differences between normal way of installing/upgrading it and doing it through abs?
Thanks in advance.

The b tells it to to build using abs, instead of grabbing from the repos. The error can be caused by two things. Either your abs tree is empty/out of date, or the package isn't in it in the first place.
Sure you ain't looking for -Syu --aur ?
If you really want -b:  http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=83406

  • HT1420 Hi all, when I try to purchase items in a game on my iPad it comes up with a message saying contact iTunes support to complete this transaction? What does this mean and why is it doing this?

    Hi all, when I try to purchase items in a game on my iPad it comes up with a message saying contact iTunes support to complete this transaction? What does this mean and why is it doing this?

    It means exactly what it says:
    Contact itunes support
    It is saying this because you need to contact itunes support.
    Have you considered doing what it told you to do?  contact itunes support

  • I tried to download the latest OSX Mountain Lion and got this notice - "We could not complete your purchase.  The product distribution file could not be verified.  It may be damaged or was not signed. "  What does this mean and why can't I download it?

    I tried to download the latest OSX for my iMac - Mountain Lion.
    This is the message that I received:
    "We could not complete your purchase.  The product distribution file could not be verified.  It may be damaged or was not signed."
    What does this mean?

    The only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
    Power down.  Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore. 
    No trouble at all once I did this.
    Reminder: create full backup before you upgrade OS
    Hope it helps.

  • What does this mean and why? How to fix?Mac OS X Version 10.8.56.6 (1510/1508). It can't be used on Mac OS X Version 10.8.5 (Build 12F37).

    Therefore black birds are crows.
    The build I have is the released build of Mail. I reinstalled it as directed and it didn't help. That indicates that the problem is with my version of OS X.
    The build you have is the released build of 10.8.5.  You reinstalled it as directed and it didn't help. That indicates it is a problem with your version of Mail.
    The above are examples of flawed logic.
    Seriously now. Since you obviously don't know what a Combo Update is, I will tell you. A Combo Update is short for a COMBINATION of Updates. That means that there is MORE THAN ONE update in a Combo Update. It is, therefore, quite proper to speak of "one of the Combo Updates". For people whose first language is not English and are not familiar with its subtle nuances, perhaps I should have said "One of the updates contained within the Combo Update was"
    "There aren't "versions" of the combo update, unless Apple releases a revision"?
    This is plain silly. It means "There aren't versions unless there are"
    Also I didn't use the word "version". See above for the explanation of what I DID say.
    Are you one of those TROLLS I keep hearing about?
    I hope you got a lot of phoney Help points for not actually helping.
    Don't bother replying, I won't come back to this thread, so I wont see it. Of course you'll get another phoney Help point, so I suppose you will, but I'll never know. Doesn't that mess with your head?
    Bye Bye
    What an attitude you have.
    Erase your drive and reinstall correctly, stop messing about with incremental patches. The routine you need is BERR (backup, erase, reinstall, restore) or just stay as yu are, it is entirely up to you.

  • Message received when I try to sign in to our wi-fi : " connection timeout".  What does this mean and why can't I sign in to our wi-fi ?

    NEed help signing in to our wi-fi.  I receive message " connection timeout" .  What Does this mean?

    If the Wi-Fi diagnostics are okay then check your own Wi-Fi router to find out how many clients are connected. The number of clients may not matter but how much data Hogging is going on. If you have multiple computer Services accounts active Wi-Fi cannot handle that much. Examples would be two people playing World of Warcraft, Two people watching a Netflix movie or AppleTV movie, One person Downloading iTunes movies or music at the same time. That accounts for a lot of Wi-Fi usage.

  • Error while creating my first  project on SP15 and why Help doesn't work?

    Hello sdnrs,
    I have a fresh SP15 installtion.
    I have 2 problems creating my first webdynpro project.
    1.When I go to file-new-project-webdynpro->(enter name)->next ,  I have windows poped up with the following error:
    Plug in name: Web Dynpro Archive Builder
    Plug in id: com.sap.ide.webdynpro.archivebuilder
    class: com.sap.ide.webdynpro.archivebuilder.project.WebDynproStandaloneProjectWizard
    Method: createJavaProject(IProject, IProgressMonitor)
    Message: Problems encountered while setting project description.
    Exeption: org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException: Problems encountered while setting project description.
    I am frustrated cause I can't do any step futher...! Is there any special settings on the SDK, Window-Preferences, etc?
    2.My Help doesn't work at all - it used to be (with SP11 slim) when i go - 'Help-SAP was docum-SAP webdynpro appl ' and I had my help window poped up.Now I dont have anything!
    Thank you much in advance!
    Bob

    For your information there's another solution if you don't wanna reinstall your NDS or if the reinstallaion doesn't work.
    The error is in the resources so you have to replace some plugin resources to correct the error. Because of that you need access to the resources from somewhere else.
    1. Go to c:\Documents and Settings\"username"\Documents\SAP\workspace\.metadata\.plugins and replace org.eclipse.core.resources with a "working" resource
    2. Go to C:\Program Files\SAP\JDT\eclipse\plugins and replace org.eclipse.core.resources.win32_2.1.0 and org.eclipse.core.resources_2.1.1 with a "working" resource.
    Restart NDS and it ought to work
    Best regards,

  • Error -50. What does it mean and why does it corrupt files?

    recently I was compressing a FCE file when Compressor stopped. It read 'QuickTime error -50'. And since then my file will not open properly, ruining one year's worth of work.
    Any idea what -50 is?

    A search of Apple's knowledge base indicates -50 means a file system problem. Have you repaired permissions. recently? if not, try that. I assume you have backed up one year's worth of work so you can at least start with your material. You might also try using Alsoft's Disk Warrior to put your files in order. But if your main reference project file is corrupted, you will have to start with your captured clips. Please check in the FCE Forum as well for how to repair FCE project files.

  • What is cookies.sqlite and why does it slow the start up of mozilla by a minute or so. I found it and deleted it,fixed the problem, but it reappears eveery time I restart mozilla.

    what is cookies.sqlite and why does it slow the start up of mozilla by a minute or so. I found it and deleted it,fixed the problem, but it reappears every time I restart mozilla.

    AVG reports these sqlite cookies each time firefox starts. they usually belong to tribalfusion or some other tracker. How do I block them in the first place. I thought firefox is a safe browser. Did not have this problem until I upgraded to 3.6.

    Hi,
    For maintenance.

    Check your Applications folder. If you don't want the app, just drag it to the Trash.
    IMHO you do not need this utility. Your Mac will do maintenance for you.

  • What is "Directory Service" and why does it "use up 194%" ?

    What is "Directory Service" and why does it "use up 194%" on my istat CPU app monitor?
    Ever since I installed Leopard I've noticed this happening more and more - especially when I install an external hard drive or unplug my ethernet line - this is plainly weird and never happened under Tiger - the temperature shoots up to 84° also - I always to a restart to get rid of it but it's kind of worrying....anybody have any ideas?
    Message was edited by: Host

    Had this happen myself.
    It does have something to do with Spotlight/searching. Should go away after a while, or so I have heard from other users, 'cause it hasn't stopped driving me and my fan mad yet.
    Am going to have my MacBook index and follow-up on indexing and whatever else it feels is necessary to finally allow me to search in peace over the weekend while locking it away where I can't hear it.
    Hopefully that does the trick.
    If it wasn't for things working better/faster and most things looking better I might actually consider taking Leopard off again ...

  • What is application memory and why does my macbook pro keep running out of it?

    what is application memory and why does my macbook pro keep running out of it?

    There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory (that is, the memory chips on the logic board) and virtual memory (one or more files on the startup volume.) That activity is relatively slow and causes the whole system to be less responsive. It can happen for two reasons:
              A long-running process with a memory leak (a kind of bug)
              Not enough memory for your usage pattern
    Please note that if the cause is a memory leak, installing more memory will not help. That's likely if you already have more than 4 GB of memory. Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
    These instructions are for OS X 10.9 and later. Some details may be slightly different for earlier versions of OS X.
    When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the View menu, if it's not already selected. Select the Memory tab. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
              View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
    from the menu bar.
    If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
    The processes named "Safari Web Content" render web pages for Safari. They use a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider them prime suspects.
    Another process often implicated in memory leaks is "inkjet4" or "inkjet8," which is a component of the HP printing software. If it's present, force-quit the process in Activity Monitor to solve the problem temporarily. Empty the print queues in the Printers & Scanners preference pane (which has a slightly different name in each recent version of OS X.) If you don't use an HP printer, reset the printing system. Otherwise, if the problem is recurrent, update the software (which may not help) or contact HP support.
    "Wired" memory should be a small part of the total. That memory is not swapped, but it makes less physical memory available which may then result in swapping. If you have a lot of wired memory, that's usually an indication of a memory leak in a third-party program that modifies the operating system at a low level. Ask for guidance in that case.
    If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
    The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
    sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
    where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

  • What are Layers? And why do I need them?

    WHAT ARE LAYERS? AND WHY DO I NEED THEM?
    Layers are an essential part of Photoshop. With Layers you can separate pictures or design elements from each other, as if they are stacked on pieces of glass. With all elements separate, you can move or change them independent of each other.
    Layers are used for many tasks, including improving your images' color or tone; merging two or more images in one Photoshop file; and creating Web designs and animations.

    KEY CONCEPT: LAYER
    PHOTOSHOP/ LAYERS BASICS - Reference Guide

    After creating the mask and applying adjustment, you can also adjust and change layer mask using selection tools or, the most common way, using brush tools.
    To have a more accurate preview of what are you doing, Alt + click on the layer mask thumbnail to show the mask in the image area.
    At this point, you will have a layer mask on your screen in large view, so it is easy to fine tune it, but you wont see how that affects your image.
    To seean  instant preview how changes on layer mask affects the adjustments, use New Window for (name of your image) from Window > Arrange.

  • What Is Memeo Backup and why is it on my MacBook Pro w/ Snow Leopard?

    What Is Memeo Backup and why is it on my MacBook Pro w/ Snow Leopard?  Does it slow down my Mac? Seems like someting has slowed down my Downloads, Updates, Backups, etc. & I don't know how to locate the source or how to fix. Any Wizards avail to share some Wisdom? I am using Ethernet Cable/Port for Internet Connection, I Use a Seagate  FreeAgent Go Flex Ultra-Portable Drive w/ Seagate's Firewire Adapter Cable.

    If this is really Memeo Backup and you want to get rid of it for a better backup program like Carbon Copy Cloner the the following shows all the stuff that Memeo Backup installer installs (based on Memeo Backup 2.5.141 which I found with a google search and downloaded):
    The primary file to disable Memeo Backup would be that file in LaunchDaemons.  Remove it and reboot and the rest is just taking up disk space.
