Can't download packages during install

I'm using an Arch 0.7RC disk to install.  I'm attempting to install the base packages during install from numerous mirrors and getting an error stating that one or more packages could not be downloaded.
Should I burn a newer 0.7 final ISO?  I figureed I could just use this one and download newer packages with pacman.

Hi trey.
Is networking set up? You may need to install a NIC driver, configure the network, and then start the network before you can run pacman or download from external sources.
You might find it easier to install the 'base' packages first. Next set up your network connection. And then update/upgrade the packages.
You'll need to include your NIC driver name in the 'MODULES' array in /etc/rc.conf. You'll also need to specify the ethernet interfaces. Then you can run:
/etc/rc.d/network start
and, if this works, you should be able to run pacman.
Regards,
Win

  • How can I download a new install of Acrobat 7 to a new computer running Win7

    I am running Acrobat 7 on my old desktop and now bought a new system. I do not have the original install disks, but this is a registered copy and shows up in My Adobe.  Can I download a new install and then deactivate the old install and activate the new install on the new computer?
    Thanks,

    Acro 7 is not compatible with Win 7, anyway, so anything you do would be a waste of time. Upgrade to Acrobat X or for the time being use Reader and other PDF creation and editing tools.

  • [Solved] Error upon selecting "base" package during install process

    Hey guys,
    I got stuck in the install process. the following issue never occured to be before.
    Upon selecting the base package during install and pressing "OK", i recieve the following error:
    ERROR: check_is_in needs a non-empty needle as $1 and a haystack as $2!(gote: check_is_in '' 'base')
    and that throws me out of the installation process.
    A google search on the error message only returned sites where the responsible script is postet.
    I am installing arch linux on a lenovo x220, on a seperate ext4 partition.
    Any help is appreciated, thanks!

    I just read through this post and it did fix my issue.  However, I do not remember what mirror I selected. 
    It was a few selections below kernel.org......

    can i download windows to install with bootcamp or do i have to buy a physical CD to get windows on a macbook pro?

    As your MBP has an optical drive you must install from a disc, not an iso on a stick. The previous advice is incorrect.
    Purchase the version of Windows you want on a disk. If you already bought an iso burn it to a disc.

  • HT4972 Can we download and re-install FaceTime on iPad?

    Can we download and re-install FaceTime on iPad?

    It could also be disabled based off the iTunes account you are using.  When you register for iTunes account it asks for your Country to verify certain copy right laws, restrictions, etc.  It may be disabled because of that but if the iPad itself is blocked because of the serial number registered as sold in the UAE or anywhere, it may not work.

    but it is really strange that when i uncommented "http://ftp.archlinux.org..."  in mirrorlist it is the same error
    so what destination for all that mirrors are?
    and when I download package from web-interface http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/openbox/ it successfuly downloaded from mirrors.kernel.org but pacman can't...
    I'm completely dumb, or the universe had hell changed
    As you see, my english is stupid.

  • Hard Drive Issues?! Can't download updates or install new apps

    I have a power mac G5 with Mac OS X 10.5 installed. I am new to macs, but not to PC's in general.
    My issue is this: I can download but not install/launch new applications. I've tried updating safari but the .pkg file won't open. I've tried a software update from the apple menu but it says there's a network error 1011 yet i'm online?! I tried a standalone download of a combo update but it stopped halfway through...I CANNOT DO ANYTHING!!!
    The machine is working fine, no strange noises, I can work everything on the mac as it should (internet, itunes, calendar etc all fine).
    Why can't I update my software and why can't I launch my new applications/programs that I've downloaded?
    I downloaded a combo update to a usb from another machine and it started the install procedure but when it came to selecting the destination, my hard drive was not selectable and said 'You cannot install mac os x update combined to this volume. ERROR_INSTALL. Went to partition the hard drive as recommended, but I can't as it's the startup volume...HELP PLEASE!!

    Hi Hannah, and a warm welcome to the forums & Macdom!
    Is this the Combo you downloaded?
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • Can't sign into Adobe cloud desktop app and can't download apps to install.

    I was able to download the Adobe Cloud app to my desktop, but it won't let me sign in, every time I try it tells me I've been signed out. I have uninstalled and re-installed it over and over again. I believe this leads to the other problem I am having whic is that I can't download  any of the apps when I click on an app to download it nothing happens, at the very bottom left of the browser window I see the following:-
    "waiting for sproxy-prod.adobecc.com"
    What should I do?

    I did it, everything seemed to go well, everything happened as it should I saw the "
    multiple lines which start with "Successfully copied the file" followed by:
    Operation has been successfully completed." but I still am not able to log in through the Creative Cloud desktop app or download any apps to install.
    Any other suggestions?

  • I can't download and/or install ios 4.2 ot my iphone 4.

    I can't download full iOS 4.2 Software and can't install. The screen on my computer is display: "There was a problem downloading the software for the iphone. The network connection time out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection are active, or try again later"
    My network is normal using. Is the Apple's server has problem or my iphone 4 or my network? How to fix all problems?
    I read a previously submiited isuue regarding this,but I don't understand how to fix the problem given the solution posted.

    OK, I disabled my Kaspersky, the ios 4.2 seem to be going OK until an unexpected error occured after downloading then attempting to install on the phone! I was prompted to restore and I assume that the outcome wont be pleasant.

  • "Downloading packages" during installation ... extremely slow!

    I'm on the step where Arch downloads packages from a server. I chose a Swedish server since I'm in Norway.
    It takes forever, and it only downloads at a speed of 2-5 kb/s. Can I quit the installation and start over?
    Also, I chose XFS for my primary Linux partition ( or / ). Is it good or should I choose something else?

    Aah.. so you have a US keyboard and are using the Norwegian layout. You can either go back to US layout until you finish installation I guess... I am not sure where the > sign key is in a norwegian layout.
    I chose the US layout this time. I just have to wait overnight for packages to download.

  • How can I download the Applications Install DVD

    Is there a way to download the Applications Install DVD? My disk got damaged.

    You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available. 
    If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html  Another resource:  International Support Phone #s.
