Desparately looking solution for Upgrade Problem.

I am quite happy to use Arch Linux .  I have been using this for last 2 years at home.  But recently my Internet Provider has vanished and I have no option to resort using wireless dongle.  The max download speed I get is around 10 K .   So upgrading my Arch Linux Installation ( On Desktop )  is now proven as a dream.  Fortunately,  in my office, we have fareley decent interent connection. 
I am desparately looking for a practical solution where    using my wireless dongle - I can update repository database.   My problem is how to create download links of all upgrades which I can carry on on a USB thumb drive to office and using wget download all the upgrades and carry back to home to install it ?  ( In office we use Ubuntu )
Would love a practical solution for my wired issue.
All suggestions are welcome.
Regards

drcouzelis didn't misunderstand.  His point was that this would really not be a good idea on archlinux.  If you want to run linux on a machine without an internet connection, you should not use archlinux.  Debian was proposed as an alternative.
You could get the list of packages installed with `pacman -Qq > pkglist`, then take the pkglist file to work, download all the pkg and sig files from the mirror manually (or even write a script to do this), bring them home, then use `pacman -U` or set up a local repository with those files, and upgrade from there.
But this would be a lot of work and would be very error prone.  Sometimes a package upgrade will pull in a new dependency and the upgrade will fail requiring you to go back to work to download another package file.  This could happen several times in a row even.  To avoid this situation, you'd have to download the entire mirror (or at least everything for your architecture) as described here, but also see the warnings in that page.  Downloading the entire mirror for these purposes would really be abusing them.

  • My display has quit working.  Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

    I have had my Verizon Jetpack MiFi 5510L for a couple of months now.  It has worked fine until a few days ago the display on it started looking strange and now has finally gone blank.  Does anyone have a solution for the problem?

    You can do both, whatever is more convenient to you.  As long as VZW gets its hands on the old device you will be good to go.  Replacements under the warranrty require the user to turn in the old device to VZW.  If your old device is not returned then you will be charged a fee for an entirely new device.  Purchasing a tracking number for a shipment of this kind would be a good idea if you choose to send it in.  Otherwise dropping it off at a store is the safest route you can take. 
    I would suggest contacting VZW phone support on this one and running through your options.  The VZW phone rep can coordinate a delivery to your local VZW store if they do not already have one in stock.  You can also turn in the old device in person to rule out any non-returned device fees.

    You appear to have two issues: 1) a hard drive that is not working properly and 2) files you wish to recover.
    Re 1) you need to answer Kappy's questions.
    Re 2) does the drive load and can you see your photo files? If so can you copy them to another drive?
    Do you not have a backup of the photo files?

    iPhones purchased in the US are NOT guaranteed to work with 4G bands outside of North America.
    For what crazy reason did you purchase an iPhone in the US if you live in Greece?  If your phone needs servicing, it will have to be brought back to the US.  You cannot get that phone serviced in Greece.

  • Anyone has a solution for the problem: typing keywords and suddenly it does not work anymore. Mostly I have to restart my iphone 4Gs

    Does anyone has a solution for this problem?
    Since I updated to iOS 6 sometimes my keywords did not work.
    I always have to restart my iPhone to have it work.
    It's ridiculous to always restart my phone.
    If you also have this problem you can repost + give some tips.
    Thanks and greetings,

    Hi Alo816,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having such extensive issues with Messages on your iPhone. If you continue having issues sending or receiving Messages, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
    If you continue to have issues with Messages after that troubleshooting, especially if it is still having or crashing, you may want to make sure you have a current backup of your data in iTunes, then try restoring your iPhone to factory settings and testing it in that default condition to see if the issues persist before restoring your data. You may find this article useful:

    Hi!
    Did anyone happen that AppStore simply disappear?
    Have anyone a solution for this problem?
    thanks! bbj

    Hi.
    Do you mean that App Store has disappeared from the Dock? If so it'll still be in Applications. Select it in Applications, when it opens in the Dock move it one or more places, it will then stay there to access next time you want it.
    If you don't mean the above, see if you have accidentally moved the application to the Trash.
    Good luck,
    Adrian

  • SOLUTION for my problems with MSI Z77A-GD65 + MSI N670 PE 2GD5/OC

    Lately I had problems with my GTX 670 video card (MSI N670 PE 2GD5/OC) under Windows 7 Pro x64.
    I got a lot of "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" errors.
    I had these errors once or twice a day, so I didn't really  bother looking for an answer, also I couldn't reproduce the error.
    Most games just worked fine, but not always... so I tried if I could reproduce the error.
    I tried to stress test with MSI Kombustor and voila no windows error... noo... but the core voltage went to 0 mV within a minute and everything (screen / windows / kombustor) stuttered and I had to restart the system.
    The strange thing was that the voltage went to 0 mV, but the GPU load went from 96% - 60% and back to 96%... why and how is this possible??
    Now I could reproduce my problem... yes!
    First I thought it was a driver problem, because I updated it to the newest version (310.70), so I tried to re-install an older driver and also the original MSI driver... no luck.
    Maybe it could be a mainboard driver or some settings in windows, so I installed Windows 8... no luck.
    Re-installed Windows 7 Pro x64 (basically because Windows 8 s*cks)... no luck.
    I tried to put my video card in another system and there was no problem... so I thought my video card is not broken...
    Maybe it's my my power supply... new power supply... no luck again... grrrr...
    My solution was downgrading / flashing my mainboard (MSI Z77A-GD65) bios back to 1.5 instead of 1.7, because yes... live update had updated my bios... that was the problem.
    I wanted to post this, because I couldn't really find the answer for my problem and maybe I can help a few people with the same configuration and problems.
    Live well and... well you get the idea

    Don't use TF II/TF III parts as they won't fit. Arctic Accelero Twin Turbo II or Accelero Mono PLUS are good value for money aftermarket solutions.
    Thank you for the information and advice.  As I was looking into those two, I noticed that Accelero's website claimed the Accelero Xtreme III would also fit, and NewEgg had it on sale, so that is what I wound up purchasing.  It works quite well and is MUCH quieter than the Twin Frozr IV, even before the grinding noise started.
    For anyone else considering this, please be aware that the Xtreme III is monstrously huge (it adds several inches to the length of the MSI N670 PE).  Make sure you have plenty of room in your case for it.
