[solved] error: core.db appears to be truncated: 1249/0 bytes

Hi arch'ers,
i run arch linux on my laptop for some time now and are very satisfied.
And now try to install it on my desktop pc on a dedicated harddisk.
After booting x86_64 live-cd (newest), partitioning, create filesystems + mounting for  every mirror|url from the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist i get this:
example
  "debug: url: http://mirror.de.leaseweb.net/archlinux … 64/core.db "
  "debug: maxsize: 26214400"
  "debug: opend tempfile for download: /var/lib/pacman/sync/core.db.part (wb)"
  "downloading core.db..."
  "debug: curl returned error 0 from transfer"
  "debug: response code 200"
  "error: core.db appears to be truncated: 1249/0 bytes"
i don't have any files under /var/lib/pacman/sync and it's writeable.
i don't think it's related with https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/23803 because it's the same for all urls in the mirrorlist.
Network is up and running
any hints?

It had something to do with our network / internet access here. I had to register first.
After that, all downloads worked.
sorry for bothering you

  • [SOLVED] error: Resolving timed out after 10000 milliseconds

    EDIT: it was a DNS lookup problem. I don't know why but it is better to manually specify nameservers in resolv.conf than in the home router control panel (a NETGEAR DGN2200v3). See the #3 post.
    Hi
    I just installed arch and I need to downgrade to xorg 1.12 to be able to use catalyst proprietary driver (legacy).
    As I read into the wiki, I added the two required repos:
    [catalyst-hd234k]
    Server = http://catalyst.wirephire.com/repo/catalyst-hd234k/$arch
    [xorg112]
    Server = http://catalyst.wirephire.com/repo/xorg112/$arch
    when I try to do an update, I get "database file does not exist".
    In logs appears a curl error 28, timeout error, but the repository is online (I can ping it and I can browse its contents with firefox).
    What can I do?
    sudo LANG=C pacman -Syy
    warning: database file for 'xorg112' does not exist
    warning: database file for 'catalyst-hd234k' does not exist

    Solved:
    After a lot of hours trying wget, aria2 and curl, with a lot of options, I just stopped observing pacman output behaviour in the console.
    Seemed that it was a DNS lookup problem but, in my resolv.conf, the specified nameserver was my home router.
    Anyway, I changed that specifying google's nameservers; is working now. It's a weird thing because in my homerouter I was already using google's nameservers. 
    Now I can open the repos in browser without lag.
    Example of my resolv.conf:
    Before:
    # home router nameserver
    nameserver 192.168.0.1
    After:
    #Google nameservers
    nameserver 8.8.8.8
    nameserver 8.8.4.4
    Thanks you help me so much love you

  • How can I solve error 1004?

    How can I solve error 1004?

    Did you try this for deleting photos that I posted in your thread ? Photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view. Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing.
    For '1004' then there are various 'solutions' mentioned from this post onwards which might work for you : https://discussions.apple.com/message/15652754#15652754 - different things appear to have worked for different people.

  • Lion successfully installed. now unable to get on vpn using cisco, error 51 constantly appears. should have stayed on snow leopard!

    ion successfully installed. now unable to get on vpn using cisco, error 51 constantly appears. should have stayed on snow leopard!

    Try opening a terminal window (Applications >> Utilities). At the prompt, enter:
    >sudo SystemStarter restart CiscoVPN
    This will ask you for the admin password and it will restart the Cisco client service. That should fix it. This seems to be a known issue that will eventually be solved with some updates.

    "iropt" is a component of the compiler that optimizes code. A compiler crash is always a compiler bug. You have the current C++ front-end patch, but you should verify that you have the current back-end (common compiler) patch as well.
    If getting the current patches doesn't solve the problem, we would need a compileable test case that demonstrates the problem. If you have a service contract with Sun, you should submit a bug report via that channel.
    A possible workaround is to compile this module without optimization (remove the -O option).
    Side note: I see you are setting private macros associated with libCstd. We do not support modifying any macros starting with _RW. Those macros affect how the runtime library was built, and if you modify the macro settings, your code will not match the library. Possible results include failure to compile, failure to link, or unpredictable program behavior if the program does link.

    As a last resort I will try uninstalling the Adobe Reader XI and install Adobe Reader 10 instead. It seems to work ok. But when I try to install version 10 the Adobe site tries to install XI.  Any ideas?
