[Solved] Xorg-Xsetroot not available

Hello everybody, I am trying to install Xsetroot for changing the default Xorg X cursor from yay but no mirror seems to have it. Any clue where to find it? Thanks.

`pacman -S xorg-xsetroot`?

Though xsetroot is for changing background colour and stuff..

Re: [Solved] Xorg-Xsetroot not available

I think that's the package, because I used the same on my 64 bit arch installation, and the wiki says this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cu … t%20cursor

The default X shaped Xcursor appears in window managers that do not set the default cursor to left_ptr or in window managers using XCB (like awesome) instead of Xlib.

To fix this simply add the following to your ~/.xinitrc , xsession or window managers startup configuration if possible (for example bspwm's bspwmrc).

$ xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr

The list of cursor styles is in appendix B of the X protocol.

Re: [Solved] Xorg-Xsetroot not available

Yes, I can confirm this.  My mirrorlist contains all of the western europe https servers, and can't find a copy of that named package either.  I also checked my mirrorlist because I was a few updates behind my pacnew, but it turns out under my selected filtering of servers, none have actually changed.

Edit: I checked the buld master and it's not even listed, so I think it's missing from the list of packages on arch32.  Although it does get returned by pacman -Ss, so that must be built from a different list.

Re: [Solved] Xorg-Xsetroot not available

I see it on the master mirror:

http://mirror.archlinux32.org/pentium4/ … kg.tar.zst

Did you try to refresh the database files?

pacman -Sy xorg-xsetroot

I should have been more precise here.. :-)

(Note: there is a difference in release and build version (2.0
instead of 1.2). If you don't update the extra.db database
flle, pacman goes and installs or fetches the version it knows
about.The mirror only keeps the latest version of a package.
Older versions are reachable on https://archive.archlinux32.org).

Re: [Solved] Xorg-Xsetroot not available

No I didn't.  I'm surprised xorg-xsetroot received an update since I last did a -Syu update (about a week ago at present I think), but it looks like it did.  I think that's the first time I've been caught out by that.

So yes, adding -y to update my pacman databases fixes this problem for me at least.  Thanks for the hint!

Thanks abaumann, refreshing with pacman -Sy did the trick.
