I installed texlive with Pacman in Archlinux. I want to remove all the installed packages now because I found them too big and a website called overleaf can meet most of my needs.
But there are too many packages contained in texlive, listed as below.
texinfo texlive-formatsextra texlive-latexextra texlive-publishers
texlive-bibtexextra texlive-games texlive-music texlive-science
texlive-bin texlive-genericextra texlive-pictures
texlive-core texlive-htmlxml texlive-plainextra
texlive-fontsextra texlive-humanities texlive-pstricks
I tried sudo pacman -R texinfo, and change different parameters like -Rd, -Rsn. They all failed on dependency checking.
I tried sudo pacman -Rc texinfo but it tells me the next 7 packages will be removed, even including gdb!!!
drkonqi-5.9.5.1-1 gdb-7.12.1-3 gdb-common-7.12.1-3 guile-2.2.1-1
guile2.0-2.0.14-1 make-4.2.1-2 texinfo-6.3-1
So how to remove the texlive family nicely?
I'd advise to go with pacman -Rs package, from the pacman -R --help output:
-c, --cascade remove packages and all packages that depend on them
-s, --recursive remove unnecessary dependencies
the -c option might delete packages needed by other packages, the -s will only delete them if they are not depended on by other packages on the system.
to delete texlive with relate files:
sudo pacman -Rcns texlive-bin

How to install debug symbols for libc++ on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS?
Right now I'm having to resort to compile everything with -fstandalone-debug.
I was looking for the same thing starting yesterday and today found this wiki link:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Debug%20Symbol%20Packages
succinctly:
add the sources for their debug symbol packages
echo "deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com $(lsb_release -cs) main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com $(lsb_release -cs)-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com $(lsb_release -cs)-proposed main restricted universe multiverse" | \
sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ddebs.list
import the signing key for said packages
sudo apt install ubuntu-dbgsym-keyring
update your package list to include the new ones
sudo apt-get update
now you can install *-dbgsym packages, I found which libc++ package I had installed like so:
apt list --installed | grep libc++
I had libc++1-11. I checked that the -dbgsym package existed brutishly like so:
sudo apt search libc++ | grep -P 'libc\+\+.*dbgsym'
And of course installed the one I needed:
sudo apt install libc++1-11-dbgsym
I got a hint at the right solution from the final comment in this thread: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24202
I try to install dropbox on Centos8, however Terminal gives strange errors. Tried different commands, same error.
Firstly downloaded *.rpm file from dropbox website, currently trying to install it.
Commands I tried:
rpm -ivh nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04-1.fedora.x86_64.rpm
yum localinstall nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04-1.fedora.x86_64.rpm
Error:
Last metadata expiration check: 0:18:27 ago on Thu 12 Mar 2020 03:46:17 PM EET
Error:
Problem: conflicting requests
nothing provides libgnome >= %{gnome_version} needed by nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04-1.fc21.x86_64
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)
[root#localhost Downloads]
Also tried --skip-broken and --nobest - but no luck.
Also tried sudo yum install libgnome but it gives error:
Last metadata expiration check: 9:51:39 ago on Thu 12 Mar 2020 02:42:06 PM UTC.
No match for argument: libgnome
Error: Unable to find a match: libgnome
I have:
[adminuser#localhost ~]$ cat /etc/centos-release
CentOS Linux release 8.1.1911 (Core)
Tried to google this mistake, but no luck. Could you please give me any hint how I could overcome this?
Thank you
This is a bug in packaging. Contact Dropbox support and report it as a bug.
Technical details (just in case you are Dropbox employee):
During building rpm, when you use macro then it is expanded. Try yoursel:
$ rpm --eval '%{_bindir}'
/usr/bin
However, when the macro is not defined, you get original value:
$ rpm --eval '%{some_bullshit}'
%{some_bullshit}
So the macro gnome_version should likely contain some version, but this macro was not defined.
nothing provides libgnome
"libgnome" is about libgnome-2 → https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/ → I.e. Fedora only packages. CentOS 8 has no libgnome* available.
https://www.dropbox.com/install-linux → Compile from source → CentOS 8
# dnf install nautilus-devel-3.28.1-10.el8.x86_64 python3-docutils
tar xvf nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04.tar.bz2
cd nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04/
./configure && make
# make install
Result : nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04-1.el8.x86_64.rpm https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AcxlVdbWOzQvcoVOFYCiaVny9MzgC-Ea/view?usp=sharing
# rpm -Uvh nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04-1.el8.x86_64.rpm : No issues.
First, realize that the command showing at the install page is for the headless installation. It will probably work, but my preference is to use Dropbox with nautilus integration.
This instructions assumes a installation of Dropbox with Nautilus integration.
We need to compile the installer from source.
a. Download last package
wget https://linux.dropbox.com/packages/nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04.tar.bz2
b. Extract tarball
tar xjf ./nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04.tar.bz2
c. Try to compile
cd nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04; ./configure;
Then you get an Error:
Erro:
Problema: conflicting requests
- nothing provides libgnome >= %{gnome_version} needed by nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04-1.fc21.x86_64
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)
Now we need to install nautilus-devel and python3-docutils
NOTE: You will get configure: error: couldn't find docutils if forget python3-docutils.
This command will enable the PowerTools repository and install what is needed:
dnf --enablerepo=PowerTools install nautilus-devel python3-docutils
Now you can run ./configure && sudo make install
That's it. Go for the start menu type "Dropbox", it will start the installer.
Restore a local backup of Dropbox (optional)
If you have a local backup, turn of the network after you see the Dropbox folder created. Then copy all your files to that folder and turn it on after copy.
This solution worked for me running CentOS Linux release 8.2.2004 (Core).
I just created a docker container and tried to install SQL Relay inside it.
I've checked the prerequisites here and followed the installation documents here.
However, at the end of make install of sqlrelay, I saw an error like this:
update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/sqlrelay: file does not exist
update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/sqlrcachemanager: file does not exist
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/sqlrelay-0.66.0/init'
make: *** [install-init] Error 2
What might be wrong with my installation?
Here's the docker file I used to start my installation:
FROM ubuntu:trusty
RUN apt-get update && \
apt-get install libxml2-dev libpcre3 libpcre3-dev libmysqld-dev -y
RUN apt-get install mysql-server libmysqlclient-dev -y
# sql relay prerequisites
RUN apt-get install g++ make perl php5-dev python-dev ruby-dev \
tcl-dev openjdk-7-jdk erlang-dev nodejs-dev node-gyp mono-devel \
libmariadbclient-dev libpq-dev firebird-dev libfbclient2 libsqlite3-dev \
unixodbc-dev freetds-dev mdbtools-dev -y
COPY rudiments-0.56.0.tar.gz /
COPY sqlrelay-0.66.0.tar.gz /
EXPOSE 80
Here are the outputs of ./configure, make, and make install inside sqlrelay-0.66.0 folder:
configure_log
make_log
make_install_log
If you need more information of my installation process, just let me know. I can provide it.
I think you should use ADD instead of COPY in your lines such as
COPY rudiments-0.56.0.tar.gz /
Your COPY just copies the .tar.gz, but does not unpack them
as with ADD
If the <src> parameter of ADD is an archive in a recognised compression format, it will be unpacked
This is extracted from
What is the difference between the `COPY` and `ADD` commands in a Dockerfile?
I have recently hit the same issue. The issue I found was that the init Makefile was incorrectly detecting the use of systemctl on Ubuntu Trusty and putting the scripts there. Later on the script would try to find the scripts in init.d and fail.
The solution is to edit the Makefile: sqlrelay-X.X.X/init/Makefile
Replace:
install:
if ( test -d "/lib/systemd/system" ); \
With:
install:
if ( test -d "/lib/systemd/system_x" ); \
Make a similar change to the uninstall option later in the script and it will now correctly install on Ubuntu.
I am running sudo pacman -Syu on my Arch Linux and I am getting the following:
cristian#localhost:~$ sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
multilib is up to date
xenlism-arch is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: package-query: requires pacman<4.3
What's the solution to fix this?
UPDATE
I have tried both solutions sugested by #jham. I have completely removed yaourt and package-query. At pacman -Qi pacman at 'required by' I have none. I also commented multilib and xenlism-arch from pacman.conf. When I do pacman -Syu I get the following:
:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n]
(244/244) checking keys in keyring [###################################] 100%
(244/244) checking package integrity [###################################] 100%
error: confuse: signature from "Thorsten Töpper <atsutane#freethoughts.de>" is unknown trust
:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/confuse-2.8-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).
Do you want to delete it? [Y/n]
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
I just had this very same error. The problem seems to be that there are new keys in the archlinux-keyring package, and new packages (confuse) signed with those keys. Since both packages are updated in the same transaction, well the new keys cannot be used until the update is finished, but the transaction will not start until the packages are checked...
The solution would be to update the archlinux-keyring by itself:
pacman -S archlinux-keyring
And then do the rest:
pacman -Su
If that fails, you could try running through the keys manually, with:
pacman-key --populate
but usually, it is not necessary.
I just happened to have the same problem, and solved it the following way:
$ sudo pacman -Rdd package-query # Purge the conflicting package-query
$ sudo pacman -Syu # There it works
# Now reinstall package-query
$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/package-query.git
$ cd package-query && makepkg -si
For anyone else coming in here that didn't find the solution by rorido working, try users Bernhard Fürst's or Jham's answer of just pacman -S package-query which worked for me without issues.
Also, if you are still getting issues like this with libalpm.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory then you have to manually reinstall package-query and yaourt.
sudo pacman-db-upgrade
yaourt -R package-query yaourt
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/package-query.git
cd package-query
makepkg -si
cd ..
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yaourt.git
cd yaourt
makepkg -si
cd ..
If you still have an error. Try this:
sudo find /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ -iname "*.part" -exec rm {} \;
It removes .part files, which causes the "invalid or corrupted package" error. After you remove them, run this:
sudo pacman -Syyu
This should solve the problem, if there is no any missing key.
I am using Manjaro and after a long search, I was able to fix the issue by following these simple commands.
NOTE: You must run pacman-key --init before first using pacman; the local
keyring can then be populated with the keys of all official Manjaro Linux
packagers with pacman-key --populate archlinux manjaro.
failed to prepare transaction (invalid or corrupted database)
Here it was due to the actual (faulty) mirror servers delivering junk.
comment out those standard servers and use a quality server e.g.
ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/archlinux/community/os/x86_64/
Too bad that /etc/pacman.conf is so poorly commented, as if to deliberatly be unhelpful and feckless, always being vague, never concretely helpful.
this was the last error in an seemingly endless ordain of errors from pacman. keys are unmanagable, servers are a mess, libs spell chaos. Took me more than 1 day to get through this horrific Arch experience.
The following is for ArchLinux however applies to other Linux distros too.
To correct an invalid KEY one needs to do the following:
rm -fr /etc/pacman.d/gnupg
pacman-key --init
pacman-key --populate archlinux
say the key throwing an error is in Blackarch then is also needed to :
sudo pacman-key --populate blackarch
and finally
sudo pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring
sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux
sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys
I have tried in all ways to get wkhtmltopdf installed on our web server but unfortunately it is not getting installed. I cannot access user/bin folder as stated in a tutorial on installation.
On the server in public_html folder there is a sub folder _vti_bin, I copied the file wkhtmltopdf-i386 from wkhtmltopdf-0.9.1-static-i386, but I am not able to execute it.
How to install wkhtmltopdf on (shared hosting) web server and get it working?
I've managed to successfully install wkhtmltopdf-amd64 on my shared hosting account without root access.
Here's what i did:
Downloaded the relevant static binary v0.10.0 from here: http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/downloads/list
EDIT: The above has moved to here
via ssh on my shared host typed the following:
$ wget {relavant url to binary from link above}
$ tar -xvf {filename of above wget'd file}
you'll then have the binary on your host and will be able to run it regardless of if its in the /usr/bin/ folder or not. (or at least i was able to)
To test:
$ ./wkhtmltopdf-amd64 http://www.example.com example.pdf
Note remember that if you're in the folder in which the executable is, you should probably preface it with ./ just to be sure.
Worked for me anyway
If you have sudo access...
Ubuntu 14.04 / 15.04 / 18.04:
sudo apt-get install wkhtmltopdf
# or
sudo apt install wkhtmltopdf
Others
Look at the other answers.
If its ubuntu then go ahead with this, already tested.:--
first, installing dependencies
sudo aptitude install openssl build-essential xorg libssl-dev
for 64bits OS
wget http://wkhtmltopdf.googlecode.com/files/wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-amd64.tar.bz2
tar xvjf wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-amd64.tar.bz2
mv wkhtmltopdf-amd64 /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
for 32bits OS
wget http://wkhtmltopdf.googlecode.com/files/wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-i386.tar.bz2
tar xvjf wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-i386.tar.bz2
mv wkhtmltopdf-i386 /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
Debian 8 Jessie
This works
sudo apt-get install wkhtmltopdf
Chances are that without full access to this server (due to being a hosted account) you are going to have problems. I would go so far as to say that I think it is a fruitless endeavor--they have to lock servers down in hosted environments for good reason.
Call your hosting company and make the request to them to install it, but don't expect a good response--they typically won't install very custom items for single users unless there is a really good reason (bug fixes for example).
Lastly, depending on how familiar you are with server administration and what you are paying for server hosting now consider something like http://www.slicehost.com. $20 a month will get you a low grade web server (256 ram) and you can install anything you want. However, if you are running multiple sites or have heavy load the cost will go up as you need larger servers.
GL!
Latest update for CentOS:
sudo yum install -y libpng libjpeg openssl icu libX11 libXext libXrender xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi
wget https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/releases/download/0.12.4/wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz
tar -xvf wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar
sudo mv wkhtmltox/bin/* /usr/local/bin/
check installation success: wkhtmltopdf -V
rm -rf wkhtmltox
rm -f wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar
Place the wkhtmltopdf executable on the server and chmod it +x.
Create an executable shell script wrap.sh containing:
#!/bin/sh
export HOME="$PWD"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$PWD/lib/"
exec $# 2>/dev/null
#exec $# 2>&1 # debug mode
Download needed shared objects for that architecture and place them an a folder named "lib":
lib/libfontconfig.so.1
lib/libfontconfig.so.1.3.0
lib/libfreetype.so.6
lib/libfreetype.so.6.3.18
lib/libX11.so.6 lib/libX11.so.6.2.0
lib/libXau.so.6 lib/libXau.so.6.0.0

lib/libXdmcp.so.6
lib/libXdmcp.so.6.0.0
lib/libXext.so.6 lib/libXext.so.6.4.0
(some of them are symlinks)
… and you're ready to go:
./wrap.sh ./wkhtmltopdf-amd64 --page-size A4 --disable-internal-links --disable-external-links "http://www.example.site/" out.pdf
If you experience font problems like squares for all the characters, define TrueType fonts explicitly:
#font-face {
font-family:Trebuchet MS;
font-style:normal;
font-weight:normal;
src:url("http://www.yourserver.tld/fonts/Trebuchet_MS.ttf");
format(TrueType);
}
List of stable versions wkhtmltopdf: http://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html
Installing wkhtmltopdf on Debian 8.2 (jessie) x64:
sudo apt-get install xfonts-75dpi
sudo apt-get install xfonts-base
sudo wget http://download.gna.org/wkhtmltopdf/0.12/0.12.2.1/wkhtmltox-0.12.2.1_linux-jessie-amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i wkhtmltox-0.12.2.1_linux-jessie-amd64.deb
Shared hosting no ssh or shell access?
Here is how i did it;
Visit https://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html and download the appropriate stable release for Linux. For my case I chose 32-bit
which is wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-i386.tar.xz
Unzip to a folder on your local drive.
Upload the folder to public_html (or whichever location fits your need) using an FTP program just like any other file(s)
Change the binary paths in snappy.php file to point the appropriate files in the folder you just uploaded.
Bingo! there you have it. You should be able to generate PDF files.
A few things have changed since the top answers were added. They used to work out for me, but not quite anymore, so I have been hacking around for a bit and came up with the following solution for Ubuntu 16.04. For Ubuntu 14.04, see the comment at the bottom of the answer. Apologies if this doesn't work for shared hosting, but it seems like this is the goto answer for wkhtmltopdf installation instructions in general.
# Install dependencies
apt-get install libfontconfig \
zlib1g \
libfreetype6 \
libxrender1 \
libxext6 \
libx11-6
# TEMPORARY FIX! SEE: https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/issues/3001
apt-get install libssl1.0.0=1.0.2g-1ubuntu4.8
apt-get install libssl-dev=1.0.2g-1ubuntu4.8
# Download, extract and move binary in place
curl -L -o wkhtmltopdf.tar.xz https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/releases/download/0.12.4/wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz
tar -xf wkhtmltopdf.tar.xz
mv wkhtmltox/bin/wkhtmltopdf /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
Test it out:
wkhtmltopdf http://www.google.com google.pdf
You should now have a file named google.pdf in the current working directory.
This approach downloads the binary from the website, meaning that you can use the latest version instead of relying on package managers to be updated.
Note that as of today, my solution includes a temporary fix to this bug. I realize that the solution is really not great, but hopefully it can be removed soon. Be sure to check the status of the linked GitHub issue to see if the fix is still necessary when you read this answer!
For Ubuntu 14.04, you will need to downgrade to a different version of libssl. You can find the versions here. Anyways, be sure to consider the implications of downgrading libssl before doing so on any production server.
I hope this helps someone!
After trying, below command work for me
cd ~
yum install -y xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 openssl git-core fontconfig
wget https://downloads.wkhtmltopdf.org/0.12/0.12.4/wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz
tar xvf wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz
mv wkhtmltox/bin/wkhtmlto* /usr/bin
Version 12.5 of wkhtmltopdf only lists DEB files on their download page now. Being a mac user and not knowing much linux or what DEB files were I couldn't use the solutions posted.
This page helped me get past the knew twist of downloading a DEB file: http://www.g-loaded.eu/2008/01/28/how-to-extract-rpm-or-deb-packages/
Basically what I did was:
Downloaded from https://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html
Unzipped the DEB file.
Unzipped data.tar.xz
Uploaded the binary in the unzipped 'usr' folder from step 3 (usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf)
Then I found out that the 'exec' function was disabled on my host. So make sure you can specifically run 'exec' if you're using PHP to run this. "Can I run the wkhtmltopdf binary" isn't specific enough. My fault.
