I think the OP implied they are using the catalyst & xorg117 repos. This comment on the catalyst-hook AUR package 
indicates the repo has changed and updating your pacman.conf to reflect this new location may help:

Atm I'm unable to update wirephire mirror. Don't know when I will get 
access back.
Please use hactar mirror:
[catalyst]
Server = http://mirror.hactar.bz/Vi0L0/catalyst/$arch

...but I doubt it since the catalyst-hook .PKGINFO available in Vi0L0's repo says: # Wed Jan 20 14:00:08 UTC 2016\ 
depend = linux<4.5. I cannot understand why your dep error states 'linux<4.7'. This makes me think you may have 
installed from the AUR instead.


Either way there is something strange going on.

There are also others with your problem complaining on the catalyst-total AUR 
package [0].

If you use your system for gaming and cannot use the open source driver (which I assume is easier from an admin point of 
view) then I suggest you look for a combination of packages from the AUR, OP. This may be a permanent or temporary 
solution for you.


 Occasionally I see people suffering with catalyst packages and thank my lucky stars that I don't have 
to deal with that. Whatever happened to ATI's magical linux-friendly architectural changes they were talking about a 
couple of years ago?

New freeze happened to me yesterday. Before the computer got
completely frozen, I managed to have a look at `htop`, `vmsize` and
`free`. All my 8Go of RAM were full. 84Go of shared memory were showed
as used by `/usr/lib/chromium/nacl_helper`. This looks like a known
issue with Chromium [0]. I did what seems to be generally advised: use
a fresh ~/.config/chromium directory.

If this fixes it for me, this would imply I have a different issue
from OP, I would then not follow on this thread. Otherwise I will have
to dig these i3 links and let you know.

Thanks for the i3 issue links :)

You don't need to manually apply the patch, just download, build and
install the new package:

$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/catalyst-hook.git
$ cd catalyst-hook
$ makepkg -si

Thanks for the suggestion.

Could you tell me how to apply this patch? I downloaded this patch, 
extracted it using tar, and then used 'makepkg -sri' to install it like 
any other AUR package. It installed fine but now this slightly modified 
error occurs while upgrading:

:: catalyst-hook: requires linux<4.7

ah, missed that, my fault.
nevertheless, sometimes a rebuild is needed, even though no update is
available.

What about version 15.9-12? It adds a patch to make it compatible with
Linux 4.7

this is misleading, as there is no upgrade.
you need to rebuild it for the new kernel, this is best achieved by
uninstalling, performing the pacman upgrade, building catalyst-hook
against all new libs, and installing it.

Hi,

You should update the catalyst-hook package manually. The latest version
supports Linux 4.7.

Note that catalyst-hook is an AUR package, and those don't get updated
automatically with pacman. If you want to want to automatically update your
AUR packages, you should use an AUR helper. (search the Wiki)

[arch-general] Not being able to upgrade system because of catalyst-hook

2016-09-13 Thread Foxtrot Mike via arch-general 
Hi all,

For almost a month, I have been unable to upgrade my system (# sudo 
pacman -Su), apparently because catalyst-hook won't work with Linux 4.7. 
I thought that in a few weeks atmost, catalyst-hook would be 'upgraded' 
to support Linux 4.7, but still no luck.

I am a beginner, so may be I am missing something. I couldn't find any 
such info on archWiki. Here's how I have been upgrading my system for 
the last year:

BTW I am using xorg117. Any help would be appreciated!
