Hello Dear Archians, I need to install arch from existing operating system. This is Mandriva 2010.0 64 bit: uname -a Linux luker500 2.6.33.5-server-2mnb #1 SMP Thu Jun 17 21:11:54 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I am using (and contributing to): http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Install_From_Existing_Linux Let me show you which steps I have done so far: $ ARCH=`uname -m` $ echo $ARCH x86_64 $ pwd /home/luke/archtest $ wget -q http://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/$ARCH/pacman/download/ http://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/core/os/x86_64/pacman-mirrorlist-201008… http://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/$ARCH/libfetch/download/ http://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/$ARCH/libarchive/download/ http://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/$ARCH/openssl/download/ http://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/$ARCH/xz/download/ $ ls libarchive-2.8.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz openssl-1.0.0.a-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz pacman-mirrorlist-20100825-1-any.pkg.tar.gz libfetch-2.33-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz pacman-3.4.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz xz-4.999.9beta-5-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz $ for f in *.tar.gz ; do tar xzf $f ; done $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/luke/archtest/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH $ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH /home/luke/archtest/usr/lib: $ ls -d /home/luke/archtest/usr/lib /home/luke/archtest/usr/lib/ $ export PATH=/home/luke/archtest/usr/bin:$PATH $ which pacman /home/luke/archtest/usr/bin/pacman So now it is time to try to run pacman: $ pacman --help -bash: /home/luke/archtest/usr/bin/pacman: No such file or directory I checked, this file really exists: $ file /home/luke/archtest/usr/bin/pacman /home/luke/archtest/usr/bin/pacman: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, stripped But I cannot even do ldd: $ ldd /home/luke/archtest/usr/bin/pacman /usr/bin/ldd: line 119: /home/luke/archtest/usr/bin/pacman: No such file or directory So additionally I checked strace output: $ strace /home/luke/archtest/usr/bin/pacman execve("/home/luke/archtest/usr/bin/pacman", ["/home/luke/archtest/usr/bin/pacm"...], [/* 78 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) dup(2) = 3 fcntl(3, F_GETFL) = 0x8002 (flags O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0620, st_rdev=makedev(136, 33), ...}) = 0 mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7f3180b61000 lseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR) = -1 ESPIPE (Illegal seek) write(3, "strace: exec: No such file or di"..., 40strace: exec: No such file or directory ) = 40 close(3) = 0 munmap(0x7f3180b61000, 4096) = 0 exit_group(1) = ?

[arch-general] Pacman wants to install older xf86-video-ati
by Damjan Georgievski 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

I've installed the new X stuff from the [testing] repo including the xf86-video-ati-6.13.1-2 Since that, I've commented out [testing] since I don't want other things from it, but now on each "pacman -Syu" it wants to install the older package from extra xf86-video-ati-6.13.1-1. Is something forcing this package and how can I find what? -- damjan

[arch-general] 3 minutes and 12 seconds Youtube video of My Arch Linux
by Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) of Singapore 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

I have just uploaded a Youtube video of my Arch Linux which was installed on an external 2.5" USB harddrive December last year (2009). The length of the video is only 3 mins and 12 secs. My Arch Linux is essentially a Linux from Scratch (LFS) 6.5 which I have compiled and installed from scratch, following the LFS 6.5 Handbook very closely. After finishing the basic LFS 6.5 installation, I have installed the pacman package manager from Arch Linux, essentially making the LFS 6.5 installation an Arch Linux installation. With the pacman package manager in place, I was able to install the X.org X Windowing Server and the GNOME Desktop Environment with ease. Please check out my Youtube video at the following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=If9TifbQVmQ At the time of this writing, there are 23 uploaded videos in my Youtube account.

[arch-general] Do formulas work in Go-Openoffice?
by Alexander Lam 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

Hi all, Are formulas working properly for anybody else using extra/go-openoffice? I can create formulas just fine, but when I try to copy-paste them, the copy doesn't show up correctly (it just shows a picture of a plug and the text Object <some number>). The same thing happens to all the formulas if I save the document (as odt) and try to reopen it. Is this happening to anybody else? -- Alexander Lam

od kuba guzik <kuba.g4(a)gmail.com> do arch-general(a)archlinux.org data 30 sierpnia 2010 01:17 temat sound intel hda problem wysłana przez gmail.com ukryj szczegóły 01:17 (2 godz. temu) Hi! Yesterday I've istalled arch linux on my hp laptop. Earlier I've used debian with the same kernel and alsa ver . I copied my sound configs from debian to /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf but they didn't work. I have also used alsaconf.. configs: alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1 model=hp-m4 OR hp-dv5 I have already tried different sound.conf configurations but they didn't work... I have also followed every step on alsa-arch wiki site. There are no errors at all, everything looks fine in alsamixer in sound.conf and rc.conf. Any suggestions? Thanks for help

[arch-general] [smplayer] freeze at full screen
by Martín Cigorraga 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

SMPlayer freezes the system when I change to full-screen (allways), however, KMPlayer and Kaffeine, the other to media players I tried, work as usual. I forgot to tell in the previous email my system is a clean installation made four days ago and that I'm already using [multilib] repo from 2 days ago. -Martín "Un buen antivirus, no debería dejar cargar Windows y sugerir instalar GNU/Linux xD" - omar_uy@#parabola@freenode
