Compiz error

vinoman2 · 2009-08-03 03:00:44

I tried to install Compiz fusion and I get this error:

Do I have to change to a different mirror? What do I need to do?

sand_man · 2009-08-03 04:04:48

Yes, change mirror.

I added a mirror, but it still fails to install.

here's my pacman.conf

[core]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Server= ftp://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/archlinux/
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Server= ftp://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/archlinux/
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Server= ftp://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/archlinux/
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# An example of a custom package repository. See the pacman manpage for
# tips on creating your own repositories.
#[custom]
#Server = file:///home/custompkgs

[archlinuxfr]
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/x86_64

what is missing?

arkham · 2009-08-03 12:43:05

You shouldn't specify mirrors in /etc/pacman.conf, but uncomment them in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

vinoman2 · 2009-08-03 13:07:24

So not having any listed on the pacman.conf file is correct. I'll take that mirror address out and go to pacman.d/mirrorlist and do as you said.

Do I have to run a command to refresh after making the changes?

Thanks

arkham · 2009-08-03 13:11:34

pacman -Syyu && pacman -S compiz-fusion

vinoman2 · 2009-08-03 13:27:45

I ran the command. Thanks.

...but when I try to run compiz the windows freeze up. Seems like Compiz has problems. Maybe I should uninstall the forget Compiz?

vinoman2 · 2009-08-03 13:35:55

I just ran the update and I get this:
[davek@arch64 ~]$ su
Password:
[root@arch64 davek]# pacman -Syu

why all the failed retrieving file?

maybe I should use another mirror. which one is better?

arkham · 2009-08-03 13:41:10

You are still using the same mirror as before..

vinoman2 · 2009-08-03 13:45:51

I look at the mirrorlist and the only one not remmed out is the waterloo server. what am I doing wrong?

# Canada
#Server = ftp://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/archli … /os/x86_64
Server = http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/archl … /os/x86_64
#Server = ftp://mirrors.portafixe.com/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64

OK, now I saw the easynews mirror at the top of the file. I remmed it out.
Ran the update again with not fails.

vinoman2 · 2009-08-03 14:00:15

Now when I try to uninstall Compiz I get this error:

[davek@arch64 ~]$ su

[root@arch64 davek]# pacman -R compiz-fusion

[root@arch64 davek]#

How do I remove it? What causes this?

vinoman2 · 2009-08-03 16:52:24

I just tried removing Compiz-fusion with Shaman and it did remove all the parts. I wonder why I couldn't remove in the terminal with #pacman -R compiz-fusion ?

I'll try Compiz in Arch another day.

arkham · 2009-08-03 23:00:01

pacman -Rd compiz-fusion

sand_man · 2009-08-03 23:23:20

pacman -Rs compiz-fusion
might be safer.
-Rd ignores dependencies. -Rs will remove all dependencies installed along with the package.

Not sure if your command will work since compiz-fusion is a group and pacman is complaining that "foo: requires compiz-core>=0.8.2".

Thanks, I'll keep those commands in mind for future use. With Shaman I removed all compiz listings.
