[SOLVED] pacman/pman --feedback do not attempt

[aus9]

EDIT subject to remove pamac

WARNING I do not know what I am doing so do not attempt.
I am aware that we may have some modules built for us etc and am aware that ArchLinux is normally a rolling release.

I started with trying to find pamac (and mtpaint) as mentioned by francois. here is my journey

feel free to comment or not...commands are root

1.0 The story seems to say that you installed mpaint, is it the case?

2,0 Concerning pamac I have tried to do it thru pacaur which is a wrapper for pacman and for aur but was not able to get it thru. pamac is a package build available in AUR with the name pamac-aur. You have to build it:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers

Pacman manages official binaries, whereas pacaur will manage both binaries of pacman and of package build of AUR. AUR are packages maintained by the community and not already accepted as binaries. yaourt is another way of building AUR packages.

You can try to buil a gui interface for pacman if you want:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tkpacman/

Code: Select all

yaourt -S tkpacman 

Make sure you have the prerequisite libraries.

The story seems to say that you installed mpaint, is it the case?

No it failed see the gpg errors.

However, under /var/cache/pacman/pkg I do have a mtpaint * .tar.xz download.
I am reluctant to try and move the bits into a xzm until I resolve the gpg error.

to my eyesight, my first attempt to download it says run the pacman-key --init command
then when I repeat the mtpaint command it keeps on borking the

downloading required keys...
error: key "FCF3C8CB5CF9C8D4" could not be looked up remotely

what is misleading you that mtpaint is installed is the message that

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

tricking you into thinking its installed and not upgrading whereas, its not installed to begin with.

2) so going to etc/pacman.d/gnupg
I deleted all the keys and was able to start again and repeat all the commands and end up with the same error.

[aus9]

OK I forgot I disabled my router filter for port 11371 for keys now lets try again

run 'setup-pman' and that should sort all this(gpg keys) out for you (apart from the pacman-db-upgrade part) and make a module for you..

[aus9]

@ncmprhnsbl

Thankyou, that made a huge difference. If you have the time I just need to resolve the module issue before I can mark this as solved

Its not automaticaly moving any modules to my modules folder but my config/modules has there 2 lines

Move2ModuleDir=yes
ModuleDirectory=/mnt/sda3/nemesis/modules

When I did a search

Code: Select all

find / -name mtpaint*xzm
/mnt/sda3/porteus/modules/mtpaint-3.40-x86_64-bundle.xzm

find / -name mtpaint
/mnt/sda3/nemesis/changes/usr/bin/mtpaint
/mnt/live/memory/changes/usr/bin/mtpaint
/usr/bin/mtpaint

to my eyesight and understanding it appears to be doing a live injection AKA install and not creating a module?

##############################################

seeing your setup* suggestion I also ran

setup-config-pman

but that appears to be the same as the config/modules file

I did make one change and full reboot
RemovePkg=no

but no detected XZMs

[ncmprhnsbl]

this is because you have used pacman which doesnt make modules... (which would be ok if using changes)
use pman wrapper instead:

Code: Select all

pman -S mtpaint

acidicX commented on 2015-09-27 10:54 
aura also says octopi-notifier-kde and octopi-notifier are in conflict, is there a way to resolve this?

ImNtReal commented on 2015-09-28 13:47 
This is why I created octopi-notifier-qt4 as a separate package originally. I think I might try that, again.

kikadf commented on 2015-09-28 14:27 
@acidicX, after build, aura saves somewhere the builded binaries?
yaourt saved those in /tmp/yaourt-tmp-$USER/
After build, just cd /tmp/yaourt-tmp-$USER/  pacman -U "wanted binaries"
You can install only one octopi-notifier (default or kde version).

FiyreWyrkz commented on 2015-10-21 19:53 
It has been commented previously, however, I shall mention again. This package should likely only provide one of the octopi-notifier packages as there becomes a conflicting issue when trying to build and install the entire package.

Would seem logical to separate the plasma 4 stuff.

pkgname=('octopi' 'octopi-notifier' 'octopi-notifier-kde4' 'octopi-repoeditor' 'octopi-cachecleaner')

package_octopi-notifier() {...
conflicts=('octopi-notifier-qt4' 'octopi-notifier-kde' 'octopi-notifier-kde4')
...

package_octopi-notifier-kde4() ...
conflicts=('octopi-notifier' 'octopi-notifier-kde')

AnAkkk commented on 2015-10-28 00:02 
When using octopi-notifier on Plasma 5 and when there are updates available, plasmashell CPU usage keeps increasing over time and goes to 100% for some reason. Killing octopi-notifier solves it, and starting it again makes plasmashell goes back to 100%.

@aus9 are you using changes cheatcode?

Yes and did not realize that changes cheatcode was seen by some as being not recommended?

OK lets go, booted up with nochanges bootcode and commands as root

 ERROR: Module directory is not mounted or unwritable.

well blow me, I should have checked this but this is the first time I get the error to check it

Code: Select all

ls -al /mnt/sda3/nemesis

However, it is likely to be explained that I simply unpacked the iso and copied umm cd files and should have made them read writeable
However (2) without chmod command to fix this issue

Code: Select all

find / -name mtpaint-3.40-15-x86_64.pkg.xzm
/mnt/sda3/nemesis/modules/mtpaint-3.40-15-x86_64.pkg.xzm

It still got in there!

will fix and report back if changes bootcode now works with the chmod to fix directories

Code: Select all

chmod 755 -R /mnt/sda3/nemesis

[aus9]

OK this post is a full reboot using the changes bootcode cheatcode

no modules is created so it does look like I will need to watch that.

ncmprhnsbl and francois

You have got beyond the job description to help me out.
I now know how to get a module and the gui to package manager can be a later topic

for now, thankyou very much marked as solved

[ncmprhnsbl]

Yes and did not realize that changes cheatcode was seen by some as being not recommended?

well it is the default entry in the bootloader and definately not "not recomended"

It still got in there!

that it wrote to unwritable is a bit odd..

bear in mind that this is a work in progress and i think pman should inform us when its not
making a module and why..or perhaps a choice.. along the lines of:
You are saving your changes, so you dont need a module?(Y/N)
or
Changes cheatcode detected, package(s) will be installed. Do you wish to make a Module as well?(Y/N)

[brokenman]

You are saving your changes, so you dont need a module?(Y/N

Yes thanks. This has been implemented in the latest version (as yet unreleased). If you are saving changes but have the option to create modules in the config file then it will still create the module. I have also added a script to create a module from a package that you already have installed. A little like: bacman will create a tarball of a package you have installed. pkg2xzm will create a porteus module from a package.

[francois]

@ brokenman:
Very good.

Thanks.
