|
|
|
"pacman -Syy" update repositories |
|
|
|
* `pacman -R`: remove a package |
|

"pacman -Su" update packages |
|
|
|
* `pacman -S`: install a package |
|
|
|
"pacman -Qdtq" list unused/orphan packages |
|
|
|
* `pacman -R $(pacman -Qdtq)`: remove orphaned packages recursively |
|
|
|
"pacman -R" remove a package |
|
|
|
* `pacman -Rns`: remove packages and its dependencies recursively |
|
|
|
"pacman -S" install a package |
|
|
|
* `pacman -Rcs`: remove packages and its dependents recursively |
|
|
|
"pacman -R $(pacman -Qdtq)" remove unused packages |
|

"pacman -Qc" view package changelog |
|
|
|
If there are update related errors that you do not understand, do not panic |
|
|
|
"pacman -Qm" list packages not present in official repositories |
|
|
|
issue a full update with the following commands: |
|
|
|
If you panic just do "sudo pacman -Syy" and then "sudo pacman -Su" |
|
|
|
`sudo pacman -Syy` and then `sudo pacman -Su` |
|
|
|
"rm -rf /var/lib/pacman/db.lck" remove pacman's transaction lock file |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(to solve "could not unlock database" error, which happen when pacman is already running) |
|
|
|
If you get an error similar to `could not unlock database` when trying to |
|
|
|
NOTE: If all of a sudden everything is fucked up bad (like no GUI whatsowever) |
|
|
|
issue a command that means that another program is using the package manager. |
|
|
|
check the pacman log at "/var/log/pacman.log" to see what went wrong and what got removed |
|
|
|
If you feel like taking the risk of breaking your system try manually (and forcefully) |
|
|
|
To manage and download packages from the AUR use: |
|
|
|
removing the transaction lock file by issuing `rm -rf /var/lib/pacman/db.lck` |

This is useful as the kernel's built-in random number generator is very slow, as such |
|
|
|
Install `ntfs-3g` |
|
|
|
it makes tasks like loading the login manager a pain. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To solve this problem you can install some pseudo-random number generators such as: |
|
|
|
=== Listing all installed packages |
|
|
|
"rng-tools" secure, uses more CPU |
|
|
|
With apt/apt-get: `apt list --installed` + |
|
|
|
"haveged" fast and lightweight |
|
|
|
With pacman: `pacman -Qqe` + |
|
|
|
NOTE: Keep in mind that these are not for secure systems and remember to start and enable the service |
|
|
|
With xbps: `xbps-query -m` + |
|

|
rngd.service |

* `chsh -l` list all installed shells and respective path |
|

Install the "ntfs-3g" package |
|

"chsh -s full-path-to-shell" for example "chsh -s /bin/zsh" |
|

=== Recompiling compilers for zerynth |
|
|
|
lastly do "sudo smartctl -H /dev/sdX" to get the results |
|
|

If you are facing compiling errors in zerynth, one option is to manually |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
recompile the compiler for the board/platform. Compilers are locarted at |
|
|
|
-Recompiling compilers for zerynth: |

`~/.zerynth2/sys` + |
|
|
|
If facing compiling errors in zerynth, manually recompile the compiler for the board in ""~/.zerynth2/sys" |
|
|
|
For example to replace the `xtensa-lx106` compiler: (esp8266) |
|
|
|
for example replacing the xtensa-lx106 compiler (esp8266) goes: |
|
|
|
. Move the old compiler folder (located at `~/.zerynth2/sys/xtensa-lx106`) somewhere safe |
|
|
|
1-Move the old compiler folder somewhere safe (~/.zerynth2/sys/xtensa-lx106) |

2-Clone and compile (as standalone) new compiler in a temporary folder, guide here -> "http://domoticx.com/sdk-esp8266-xtensa-architecture-toolchain/" |
|
|
|
http://domoticx.com/sdk-esp8266-xtensa-architecture-toolchain/[link] |
|
|
|
3-Move the newly created compiler folder (xtensa-lx106-elf) in ~/.zerynth2/sys and rename it as the original one (xtensa-lx106/) |
|
|
|
. Move the fresh compiler folder (xtensa-lx106-elf) in `~/.zerynth2/sys` and rename it as the original one (xtensa-lx106/) |

4-Copy the old package.json in the new compiler folder |
