Error: failed tetrieving file 'core.db'

I'm trying to install Arch on a VM and after I do a
pacstrap -i /mnt base
I get
error: failed tetrieving file 'core.db' from archlinux.cu.be : Resolving timed out after 10520 milliseconds
and it's the same for all the other mirrors.
I tried to Google an answer for no avail. Any hint?
Thanks

In that thread the solution is:
I added a ipv6.disable=1 to the boot parameters and a noipv6rs to the /etc/dhcpcd file, and everything turned ou to work ok!
But I don't know how it's possible to boot with parameters a live CD.
Press [Tab] on the Live CD menu to edit the selected boot options, and then add 'ipv6.disable=1' (with no quotes) to the end of the line that appears.

Give an
echo "noipv6rs" >> /etc/dhcpcd.conf
from the live cd. Mind the double redirection (>>), a single one will overwrite the whole file.
Alternatively, you can give a
echo "noipv6rs" | tee -a /etc/dhcpcd.conf
Mind the '-a' (--add) option.
You'll have to do this again for the new installation, otherwise you'll have the same problem.

[SOLVED] Pacman failed retrieving file 'core.db' after removing KDE

Hey, I had to remove KDE and foolishly used the -Rsc flag. Now, trying to update yields:
[root@Gal-PC2 gal]# pacman -Sy
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mirror.isoc.org.il : Resolving timed out after 10524 milliseconds
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mirror.us.leaseweb.net : Resolving timed out after 10523 milliseconds
I tryed using the -Sy and -Syy flags to update the database, and made sure I am not using ipv6. I think the -Rsc flag might deleted an importent package. I can connect to the net, and I can acess mirrors using http and I can ping the mirrors. The error persists on a large number of mirrors. Any help will be appriciated.

EDIT: SOLVED!
Ok, so I did indeed disable ipv6 as I promised, but turns out I put in the GRUB kernel line "ipv6.disable_ipv6=1". Upon re-reading the wiki, turns out this means ipv6 is disabled but tunnels with ipv6 may be opened by programs. I changed to "ipv6.disable=1" and pacman updates away! I hope others will find this usefull. Be careful!

[SOLVED] Pacman error: failed retrieving file : No address record

I just installed Arch on a x86 laptop using the cd as the package source. I wanted to do a net install, but when I attempted to (regardless of the mirror) I got many responses from pacman in tty7 of "No address record". This happened despite having a network connection and being able to ping any site from the cli.
After installing, I am still having the same problem. The laptop is plugged in via ethernet, and I can ping any site I want, but a call to pacman -Syyu just returns numerous errors such as
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mirror.rit.edu : No address record
And just as a test, I was getting replies when pinging mirror.rit.edu.

Try the following steps:
1 - Set the VirtualBox Networking option to NAT
2 - Start the arch machine in the VirtualBox
3 - Edit /etc/rc.conf as a dynamic IP:
HOSTNAME="arch"
interface=eth0
address=
netmask=
broadcast=
gateway=
4 - Run dhcpcd
5 - Try to ping a couple of sites, or your router
If you still can't ping or anything, I suggest you start a new thread specifically about your problem. Include the output from "ipconfig -a". You're not going to get much help from posting in a thread marked "[SOLVED]".

Cannot sync pacman; error: failed retrieving file, No address record

Hello,
As a heads up, I'm trying not to repost
I've searched the forums but found nothing, I'll keep looking. I've read the front page news about the mirrorlist and tried using the old mirrorlist file. I've been on #archlinux on IRC. Nothing yet.
Here is an example of what I see:
root@dungeon pacman.d # pacman -Sy
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db.tar.gz' from ftp.archlinux.org : No address record
error: failed to update core (No address record)
error: failed retrieving file 'extra.db.tar.gz' from ftp.archlinux.org : No address record
error: failed to update extra (No address record)
error: failed retrieving file 'community.db.tar.gz' from ftp.archlinux.org : No address record
error: failed to update community (No address record)
error: failed to synchronize any databases
I've commented out all but one of the servers in the mirrorlost file to shorten the output.
Any ideas?

Any idea what I have to do ? Thanks !

Now it works so fine !!!

IPV6 issues during the installation? "error: failed retrieving file"

Hi!
I currently try to install Arch on my Notebook using the Newbie Guide from the German Arch Wiki. Everything seemed to work fine until I got to the point of installing the base system using
pacstrap /mnt base base-devel wpa_supplicant
. The downloading process fails and returns about the same error message for every mirror:
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from MIRRORNAME : Resolving timed out after XY milliseconds
I already tried to use different mirrors, but none of them worked. I tried to reach them on another machine via the browser and could access them, so they're definitly up. It therefore could be my internet connection, but I'm connected via an ethernet cable and can ping e.g. google.com or archlinux.org without any problems. I looked up the issue on different forums and almost everyone said that it's an issue caused by ipv6; I tried different workarounds, but none of them worked since most of them were used on an Arch system that was already installed but had problems with pacman. Due to the fact that I'm encountering this problem on a CD that I try to install Arch with, most of the files I'm supposed to edit to disable ipv6 aren't there (yet?) - and the other workarounds just didn't work. I really want to install Arch on my system, but can't continue with the installation when pacman can't reach the mirrors.
I therefore need your help to solve this; like I said, it's probably an issue with ipv6, but I just can't find out how to disable it on my installation medium (I burned the archlinux-2014.11.01-dual.iso on it, if that matters).

Acrobat fatal error: failed to load core dll

Hi,
I have a problem with acrobat reader on my laptop.
My OS is Vista Home Premium.
I had Master collection CS4 installed.
When starting up acrobat reader; i got following error:
failed to load core dll.
I went to the log and this is the explenatoin written in there: (i'm dutch speaking)

I simultaneously had a problem with Dreamweaver.
I think all this is caused by an Side By Side configuration issue.
I've tried to do following steps:
-redistibrutable 2008 c++ package geinstall
-system recoverage tool
-reinstall cs4 master collection
-uninstall master collection, clean up, install reeware acrobat reader
-uninstall acrobat reader, ccleaner register issues resolver , also older than 24 uur , reboot, install acrobat reader freeware
-revo uninstall tool to remove acrobat
none of the above actions were successful.
What could u suggest or give as a solution.
Atm i'm using an altarnative pdf-reader.
But as i bought the master collection,
i'd rather have my adobe acrobat reader pro and dreamweaver working.
Thanks in advance,
With friendly regards
Anton

Hi Anton
I am sorry, I do not have an answer just a similar problem.
I am no expert, but all these manifest files are to ensure that different developers can ensure that the appropriate versions of common libraries are used by particular versions of their software.
Deatils are below. The original problem was a corrupted manifest file, probably due to a disk error. This resulted in several programs failing to run. In particular I was unable to access backup on my Windows Home Server. From the logs I was able to identify the manifest file in error and located a copy of a file with the same name on another of my computers. Using notepad I then changed the file causing the problem to match the file on the other computer.
This appeared to resolve all my problems.
When the Acrobat Reader updated itself, however, the"failed to load core DLL" message appeared. Simply uninstalling all adobe programs and re-installing makes no difference.
If you have the solution please post.
If not, I will continue to research this problem.
Very best wishes
Graham

I think, you should change the server
(open the file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist with i.e. nano and put # infront of Server = http://mirrors.gigenet.com/archlinux/$repo/os/i686 and remove the # infront of another server)
On http://mirrors.gigenet.com/, there is no (more?) a directory for arch.

Fatal error - Failed to install core dll Abobe reader 9.2

I have tried to update to the newest version of Abode reader and when I try to start the program I get a fatal error "failed to install core dll". I downloaded the newest version on another computer and it works fine so I copied the installation folder on to a CD and tried installing it again on the other computer and still get the error. Does anyone know how to fix this? I cannot open any PDF's now without the software.

Please See the solution on below link : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

Pacman - error: failed retrieving file

Hi.
I just installed Arch on my new laptop but when I first got to the stage where you need to use pacman for the first time, I got this error:
error: failed retrieving file
for all the mirrors I have uncommented in my /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist with reasons like "Not found", "File unavailable" or "Service not available".
I've tried several mirrors (all french mirrors and some others) but I got the feeling that it's more coming from my computer.
I first got this error when I tried to install Xorg, but it's the same when I try with someting else (I tried Firefox for instance). Some packages are downloaded but some aren't and so, I can't install anything.
I've checked my internet connexion which seems to work since I have 0% loss when I ping something.
I've also tried pacman -Syy but it didn't fix it.
So, I'm asking for your help, since I never had any problem at this stage of the installation before.
And by the way, I'm running on a VAIO laptop with Arch x86_64 installed via network an I used DHCP during the install.
Thanks

I don't think so, since I added nothing after installing. Unless there is a firewall in the hardware (I don't know anything about that). My computer is a Vaio VGN-SR and this morning, I was able to install both cpudyn and acpid on the first try.
And I installed Arch before with the same internet connexion and there was no problem so it must be the computer.

Intermittent pacman errors failed retrieving file

I got most of the way through the Beginners' Guide, but at the part where it has me upgrade the system using pacman I run into trouble. It can't always download the packages. Sometimes it works fine, but many of them return errors before they finish downloading. I always says some variation of "error: failed retrieving file '<filename>' from <mirror> : <reason>" Then it will attempt to finish downloading from another mirror. At the end of the whole thing it says that errors occurred and no packages were upgraded. It doesn't seem to matter what I put in mirrorlist. I've tried the rankmirrors script, Reflector, and picking some that look good from the mirror status page. I can ping the mirrors, so I know that works. my host name is the same in /etc/hosts and /etc/rc.conf. I've looked through the wiki and the forum and haven't found anything that works. I might have missed something, but I've been working on it all day.
If you need me to post any more information let me know.
Thanks,
ProNate

Sometimes, refreshing the mirrors with:
pacman -Sy
may resolve some of those errors.
EDIT: Scratch that above suggestion. You could possibly try using one trusted mirror (as stated below). For me, http://archlinux.unixheads.org seems to work quite well, so maybe use that.
I'd recommended only having one selected mirror in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist. Although that is most likely unrelated to the issue at hand.
If I just use that mirror it fails to synchronize any databases.

Pacman error: failed to synchronize any databases

I just installed Arch on my machine and tried running pacman -Syu only to have it tell me that it failed to update any repos, retrieve any files, or synchronize any databases. I have an internet connection and I've tried several different mirrors. What's going on?

Failed to update core (no address record)

Hi forum,
I am doing a new installation of arch on my new pc, so i followed the guide on the wiki and all seemed well, so i rebooted and got ready to install my gui, ran pacman -Syy and i get a bunch of errors that look like this:
::Synchronising package databases...

error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' (repeats with all my other mirrors) : No address record

error: failed retrieving file 'community.db' from mirrors.kernel.org : No address record
error: blah blah blah all my other mirrors : No address record
error: failed to update community (Guess what? No address record)
error: Failed to synchronise any databases :-(
What have i done wrong? I do have a history of not doing things right and as a consequence have triggered the "bailing out, your on your own, good luck" error multiple times. I suspect i have not configured network properly, im on eth0 like everyone else.
Any help is greatly appreciated, i am anxious to see the sexy-looking kde4 desktop again!

Hmm.
Do you have a flash drive or anything?
You could always grab netcfg package, install that and try get the net up with that.
www.archlinux.org/packages/core/any/netcfg/download/
and
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/ifplugd/download/
or
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/ifplugd/download/
Other then that I have no other ideas, re-install is never the best option really, fight it!

Failed to start Core Services: Failed to launch rpcss

[SOLVED] Xorg: Failed to activate core devices?

Hey guys.
I must've done something terribly wrong, because my Arch Linux won't boot up anymore.
Here's the deal: When my computer is booted up, I type in "startxfce4", and it gives me a few errors such as:
XKB: Couldn't compile keymap
and most important
Fatal server error:
Failed to activate core devices.
So I googled around a little bit, and found something regarding the core devices, and it stated that it was caused by a full disc.
So I did df -h, and yes, I've got a 100% /dev/disk/by-uuid/alot-numbers-and-letters, but I do not recall having made such a partition.
Output from df -h:
udev 10m 192k 9.9m % /dev
/dev/disk/by-uuid/en-hel-masse-tal-og-bogstaver 7.3G 7.0G 0 100% /
shm 1.7g 0 100% /
/dev/sda1 99m 15m 80m 15% /boot
/dev/sda4 451G 44G 385G 11% /home
As you can see, there's a lot space left on /dev/sda4
So...
What has caused this, and why?
Regards,
Marcus.

Solved this with some help from another Linux community.
The reason was that I had a folder called scratchbox within / which was using ~2gb of space, so I deleted it, and the partition is only 70% full now.
