[arch-general] Dependency: pyalpm: requires pacman<3.6 (workaround install pyalpm?)
by David C. Rankin 18 Jan '12

Guys: There is a strange dependency with pyalpm that prevented upgrade to pacman 4 which I solved by -- installing pyalpm?? Installing pyalpm pulled in pacman as a dependency which successfully completed the upgrade, but pacman would not -Syu and upgrade on its own. That doesn't make sense. The -Syu error was: :: The following packages should be upgraded first : pacman :: Do you want to cancel the current operation :: and upgrade these packages now? [Y/n] y resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts... error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: pyalpm: requires pacman<3.6 So I tried the following and answered NO to the pacman upgrade. Evidently pyalpm pulled it in as a dep anyway: 15:18 providence:~/dt/icons/coolicons/openOffice> sudo pacman -Sy --needed pyalpm :: Synchronizing package databases... core is up to date extra is up to date community is up to date archlinuxfr is up to date xyne-any is up to date downloading kdemod3.db... phoenix is up to date :: The following packages should be upgraded first : pacman :: Do you want to cancel the current operation :: and upgrade these packages now?

[arch-general] Pacman-key keyring and my own GPG key
by Maciej Mazur 17 Jan '12

17 Jan '12

I have just upgraded to pacman 4, and as instructed I executed "pacman-key --init". It generated new GPG key "Pacman Keychain Master Key <pacman@localhost>" and imported it into pacman keyring. The question is: should i replace it with my own private GPG key that I use normally? I understand that it should all work well with the generated one, but since I already have GPG key, then wouldn't it make more sense to use it instead of generated one? If the answer for that question is yes, then is it better to import my GPG key into pacman keyring or instruct pacman to use my regular gnupg keyring at ~/.gnupg ? Maciej

[arch-general] Upgrading from Don't Panic Fresh Install
by Thomas Misilo 17 Jan '12

17 Jan '12

Hello, I was wondering if there are any mirrors out there that still support upgrading from Don't Panic? As it seems the directory structure has changed a lot. Before you ask WTF, I just want to say that this is the only version of the ISO I have found that actually boots the installer and doesn't panic. (Due to only have 256MB of ram) Thanks, Tom

[arch-general] pacman 4 in [core]
by Karol Blazewicz 17 Jan '12

17 Jan '12

Is it for real or is it an error? I know that you should merge pacnew files first, I'm fine with the move, but something tells me we're going to see many users baffled by pacman throwing never-before seen errors. Not that I mind Arch being a less hand-holding distro and actually requiring common sense ;P

[arch-general] xf86-video-nv question
by Don Juan 16 Jan '12

16 Jan '12

Does anyone know how to control the nvidia fan when using this driver? Its the only thing I am not able to figure out and my video card starts getting really hot after a bit. I have tried sensors and it does not detect anything(fan related). I also did the pci prog, cant remember the name off hand not on my arch box right now. I know the CPU fans are GPIO fans, does that mean the nvidia one is as well and I can not control it? Keeping it on a cooling pad keeps things cool enough, but I would really prefer to keep using this driver for the time being with all the Xorg issues with the proprietary drivers, and I honestly think the nouveau ones are worse than the proprietary, NV has never let me down minus the heat issue on this one laptop. Card: GeForce 360m Thanks for your time

by Peter Nikolic 16 Jan '12

Hi and morning Right then with a bit of help most things so far have been solved heres another one , Audio for the mst works well using PA apart from 2 glitches 1 : no audio from firefox on most sites or absolute full volume with no control over it at all ie no sound from youtube but if i download the video it is ok or go to another site try "quinton-mc.org.uk/vindex.html" just a few car club bits on a test / Play ground HTML5 page tey are all full volume and that is a lot when it comes on 4x140 watt . 2: I have an Nvidia graphics card GT220 that has HDMI output on it (i dont use it dont have anything to take HDMI in) but it keeps getting setup as the primary audio system there is an on board sound card as well that is disabled (really bad quality) i use an external USB sound card works well for the GBP 19.00 that it cost Certain games refuse point blank to use the external sound and insist on the HDMI job how can i stop this the HDMI is turned off every where i can find it what else do i need to do to remove it from being detected Pete . -- Powered by Kernel: 3.1.9-2-ARCH KDE Development Platform: 4.7.4 (4.7.4) 08:41:53 up 10:49, 5 users, load average: 0.01, 0.04, 0.05

[arch-general] Unofficial User Repositories
by Ralf Madorf 16 Jan '12

16 Jan '12

Hi :) I've got some newbie questions regarding to the Unofficial User Repositories. Until now I only used some AUR packages and /etc/pacman.conf was set up like [1]. Now I'll uncomment multilib and add - archaudio-production - archstudio - kxstudio-free - kxstudio-non-free - arch-fonts - mate - archaudio-preview - archaudio-nightly - archaudio-experimental Is it recommended not to use some of those repositories to avoid a broken system? Is this order ok, or is another order more safe? Any recommendations when pro-audio is most important, followed by painting and graphic design and less important video production? Regards, Ralf [1] $ cat /etc/pacman.conf [snip] # - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages # have identical names, regardless of version number [snip] #[testing] #Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist [core] Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist [extra] Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist #[community-testing] #Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist [community] Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist # If you want to run 32 bit applications on your x86_64 system, # enable the multilib repositories as required here. #[multilib-testing] #Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist #[multilib] #Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist [snip]
