Can't install cups, mirror problems?

Hi, I am trying to install cups to be able to use my printer, but it seems there's some problem. I don't know if its because upgrades(Read on frontpage cups is upgraded to 1.2.10-1) or just a glitch. This happens both on swedish(ftp.gigabit.nu) mirror and on the main site(ftp.archlinux.org).
Should I just wait or download packages manually
[root@apc ~]# pacman -S cups
Targets: openslp-1.2.1-1 cups-1.2.9-1
Total Package Size: 2.9 MB
Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n] y

i'm having upgrade problems, too. i tried every server in the pacman files and it only gets a few Kb at a time before stalling out. the mirrors must be syncing, would be my guess. i think it might be related to what one of the devs (i think it was) mentioned a few days ago about people setting up mirrors for local networks who don't really need to and hogging all the resources.
>> just tried some of the european mirrors, they seem to be working a little better. it must be some greedy "me me me" americans taking up all the server bandwidth for their 2 PC networks.

Can you tnsping to oracle database ? After installation if you chose different oracle home for developer then you have now two tnsnames.ora files. One in oracle database home and the other one in oracle developer home.

Can't install arch, boot problem?

I thought that I give Arch a go on my desktop computer after checking that everything works under linux (using ubuntu-live-cd).
So I downloaded the 64bit netinstall .iso and burned it to a disc. And when I tried to boot the disc I came to a grub prompt. So I thought that something could be wrong with my systemdisk (previously used in raid0 as systemdisk for windows). So I booted the ubuntu-live-cd once again and installed it on the hard drive without any problems. And I put the arch disc back in and tried to boot, but I came to the grub prompt once again. I found a older release (2009.2 64 netinstall) that I've used on my laptop before, so I know that the CD is good. But I came to the grub prompt once again. So then I took the 2009.8 disc and tried to boot my fathers computer with it, and it worked.
Then I thought I'd give USB-install a go. So I downloaded the 2009.8 64bit netinstall .img file and put it on a USB-drive using unetbootin in ubuntu. I booted the USB-drive and I came to the blue grub windows, then I selected to install archlinux with sata. The info about the kernel comes up, and then it just freezes. So I've come as far as booting the installer, but it freezes right away. I've also tried the 2009.8 64 core .img in case the netinstall was missing some important files.
I've tried to remove my usb-dac & soundcard if they conflict in some way, but without success. I've tried to remove all but one memorystick without any luck. Everything but my nic on my motherboard is disabled. Sata is set to ACHI in bios.
My computer:
Processor: Intel e8400
Memory: 4x2gb Mushkin Redline
Graphic card: Nvidia 9400gt
Soundcard: ESI Maya 44
USB-Dac: Red Wine Audio Isabellina HPA
Motherboard: ASUS p5e deluxe (x48 chipsed, marvell nic, IHC 9 sata-controller)
Hard drive: Corsair p64 SSD
I can't understand why it won't boot properly when both Ubuntu and OpenSolaris boots just fine from live-cd. The hard drive and the dvd reader are the only sata things that are plugged in.

Grub is known to make problems on some systems, when used as to boot from CD. You could try using the alternate ISO with the isolinux bootloader. You can find it on your favorite mirror as archlinux-2009.08-netinstall-x86_64-isolinux.iso

IMac intel -can't install flash9 -MIME problem?

I was trying to print some cards from designhergals.com and I
was prompted to get the newest version of flash. I downloaded it
but when it installed and opened up I got this message that the
page has content of MIME type "application/x-shockwave-flash" a
plug in and directs me to adobe to find this plug in. No one at
adobe seems to know what this is-nor did the person I spent an hour
with a apple support.
I now have no flash-despite trying even to download archived
flash versions. I have reinstalled both safari and foxfire,
restarted my computer many times, reinstalled flash and unistalled
flash.
I am at my wits end, Apple says this is a adobe problem,
adobe says they don't offer support on this,
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Well it's unfortunate that you've put that much time into
this.
It sounds like you talked to phone support here at Adobe?
That makes no sense, because there is no phone support available
for Flash Player (and when there's no phone support, no phone
agents are trained to troubleshoot the problems! So that's a recipe
for a bad experience..)
If you did have a phone case, and have a case number please
let me know what that case number is.
The reason you cannot find the documentation on this issue is
because we are still in the process of finishing it. It will become
a part of this technote very soon:
"Flash Player 9 installation fails on Macintosh" (
http://www.adobe.com/go/4aa64290)
The root of the problem is a permission issue in OS X
involving Flash Player. The steps in the existing technote are not
entirely accurate, and we're working to fix that (and we have
written about it fairly extensively on this forum...)
In most cases, running Permission Repair will resolve the
problem. This will be the first troubleshooting step in the revised
technote when it's done. To learn about permissions and how to run
permission repair, I recommend reading this Apple tech doc:

Have purchased a new computer but can not install elements 12 since it has been installed on old laptop. Is there a small fee to be able to do this. Never installed the video editing portion, can this be installed with no problem?

Have purchased a new computer but can not install elements 12 since it has been installed on an older laptop. This is a one time user program, is there a code that can be put in or a small fee to pay to be able to use the program again. Never installed the video editing and hoping this can be installed with no problem.

If the laptop is still connected Launch Elements in Expert Mode. Go to the help menu and sign-out. That will deactivate usage on the laptop.

Can't install inspiration browser..

i cannot install the inspiration browser. it constantly saysin a small adobe air generated dialogue box "a download error occurred". i have the latest adobe photoshop elements 10 and adobe air. i am using google chrome browser as well...please help...

I had the same problem: Forst uninstalled the old inspiration brower version from the PC as instructed and then clicks the new browser download, and encountered the error message. It was quite frustrating. It turned out that I was using the FireFox internet browser (causing the erroer message.) When I copied the installation and launched in the IE, it came through. Once down loaded the exe file, it can be installed with no problem.

K7N2 Delta2-LSR : Can't install Nforce ide SW :

currently there are 3 LSR mobo i bought. 1 fopr my self and others 2 for my firends. mine didn't have problem with NForce IDE ver 2.6. however, the 2nd mobo can't be install with Nforce IDE SW ver 2.6. everytime i try to install it, that pc can't enter WinXP, it just blank.. and there is no HD activty at all.
the 3rd pc face the same problem at first, windows xp just detect Primary IDE, Secondary IDE and so on, but not Nforce MCP2 ver 2.6. but it have been solve when i manually install the driver using Nvidia 5.10 drivers.
so, question is:
1: Why does it happen to the 2nd Mobo, not to mine?
That all .. and thanks in advance for those who can share thier opinions on this matter.
Thanks again

opss.. forgot to mention.. the only different is the 1st pc use IDE Harddisk while the 2nd and 3rd used SATA. (2nd = Seagate 80G and 3rd = Western Digital 120G).
Ram:
1st: 2 x 256 Kingston (DDR266)
2nd: 2 x 256 Kingmax (DDR433)
3rd : 1 x 512 Kingmax TinyBGA (DDR433)
all of them using Radeon 9550 (128bit)
Glen,
Thanks for the reply, so u suggested that i don't need to install Nforce IDE (MCP2s ver 2.6) for the 2nd pc? actually that pc running ok without it, just curios, why it can't be install while others can be install without any problem. (all of them now using 11.3 bios. 3rd pc came with 11.4 but its sucks!! can't even OC with it).
Thanks again.

I pulled my brains out trying to figure this bug out and I may have a solution for you.
All of it installed fine in my desktop, but a friend's laptop got the error you mentioned on quicktime, itunes, flash, officeXP and about anything else I tried to load for him.
If you look in: C:\documents and settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp there will be an iTunes install log...open it in Notepad and see if it isn't exiting with a 1619 error while running msiexec.exe
If this is the case, this fix should work for you.
Seems some configurations of XP (and possibly Vista) aren't allowing full administrator rights to the account you set up when you installed XP (even though User Editor says you do have those rights.)
I read 2 MS articles and turned off simple file sharing, then gave ownership of the entire C: drive to the administrator. Logged the admin account off, logged his "admin" account in, and then gave rights to his personal directory to his account (c:\docs and settings\<username>)
Once I did that, every install that had previously errored out performed flawlessly.
The MS articles in question:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=316309 (1619 error)
and
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=308419 (how to set special permissions)
Hope this helps!

Can`t install idt / no sound / missing driver component (THE USUAL **bleep**IN IDT PROBLEMS)

Hey,
first of all i want to excuse my vulgar language (aswell as my orthography), but honestly?
since around one week i got serious problems with my sound drivers, i have tried many things to resolve these issues already and am now close to despair browsing these forums thinking whether or not i should just throw this laptop out and never go back to hp.
how it all started:
So i will try to start over. Since last week my audio fails and i encountered various problems while reinstalling the drivers, reinstalling the BIOS, reseting my laptop to factory settings and practically trying everything.
It all started with me being unable to adjust the volume and beats audio not responding. i shortly before tried updating to windows 8.1 though i doubt this update had anything to do with the issues (after rerolling to factory settings later that week the problem reaccured). the sound just vanquishes shortly after a restart. restart problems began to appear
Symptoms:
-generall:
Failing Sound
- Windows displays sound in the sound regulating system but there just isn`t anything to hear
Failing reboots (yes and this one is freaking me out, my laptop sometimes goes into blackscreens when trying to restart. if shutting down and booting this problem is unexistant. but yet i am very rarely able to restart the computer with the corresponding function. sometimes it works without problems though. )
-IDT:
since a day i get the massage that the detected hardware isn`t supported by the software package. i never got this massage before during tons of idt installations. since estimatedly the same point in time beats audio is unexistant and i run on windows default audio drivers.
-Default drivers:
sound very quiet and aswell vanquishing completly after some time
what i tried up to now:
i tried downloading drivers directly from here and i tried repairing them with the HP recovery manager, i tried reinstalling pretty much every driver, in my IT-incompetence just making sure there isn`t some problem with how other drivers cooperate with the idt audio codec. espacially the fingerprint driver was giving me headaches since this totally irrelevant **bleep** wasn't working since quite some time and somewhere on the net i saw a support thread about faulty validity drivers being the cause for other problems. i also, as suggested, tried random power resets inbetween the hundret restarts i have run, to no success. i rerolled to factory settings and still the sound would be no more, shortly after rebooting. sometimes deleting random (not realy that random, more like it have been many and i can't say wich shutdown was successfull anymore) prozesses helped, and i suddenly had cound again, sometimes deleting some programs like the fingerprintscanner driver or others, helped and restored the sound for a longer period, but in the end, it faded once more.
a short brakethrough was the chipset driver reinstallation, providing me with sound for estimatedly 2 hours.
but right now, i don`t know what to do anymore since i have no idt driver whatsoever on my pc at the moment and i can`t instal one. also i am to ennoyed to perform another reroll.
to the support administration (If something like that is existant):
SERIOUSLY i found TONS of people describing nearly the same problems and i was always enlightened by the helpfull Hp employees redirecting every last one of them to a driver link that neither changed anything.
Please don`t misunderstand me, i know you guys might want to help, and this defenitly isn't ment to criticise any one who tries to help in these forums. But not even one of the corrresponding threads recieved a solution? PLS HP JUST TRY to **bleep**ing answer what the hell is goes on with your Audio devices.
i will post this as it is right now since i have no time to recheck if everything is said. maybe later. gotta go. hope someone can help.
cheers.

Okay while i still got no answer in this forum my problem becomes harder and harder to track down for me.
i just installed a BIOS update (it was recomended by the hp assistant) wich ran smoothly untill i first got a litle concerned when seing a -maybe just misleading- text panel. It was just after the BIOS update was completed, and i have been informed not to turn of my computer during some minutes in wich the screen may stay blank and various LD lights might blink. It initiated, just like i thought it would. The screen went 2 times from enlightened black to black while keyboard LEDs flashed. So far so good.
But than this blue panel shows up saying "Flashing Boot Block", nothing flashes for a while in wich a progression is shown in percentages underneath this very panel.
Now to get back to the Topic: WHY is my Soundcard or Driver again DEINSTALLED after this BIOS update??????
I had it before! it still stopped working -the sound stopped- some times but it was there!! and it might well work the next time i open my laptop to watch a video listen to music or play a game! So why is it gone after this BIOS update? i will ofcourse check if i may now install the drivers for my Product but i am not confident that it will succeed.. lets hope so...
I just try to understand what is going on and therefor a short explaining answer to some of the questions i hinted to within my posts would be very appreciated.
Best regards, a believing support forum user..

It will make it easier to help you w/ your problem to know the size and RAM installed.
"Yesterday I couldn't update the maps on my Garmin because it said the OS I had wouldn't work"
What OS will your Garmin work with? Funny there was someone else that did that and upgraded to Yosemite and regretted it.
I'd say Lion if your Garmin is compatible.
Both Lion and Mountain Lion are downloadable from the Apple Store:
