[FTP Install] cannot install as /mnt/etc is not created

Hi, happy new year to everyone
i've been unable to install Arch for a long time on my desktop system with raid/lvm2 partition. It runs fine on my old laptop.
Tonight I gave it another try with froscon install CD (August 2008), choosing FTP Install as usual, and end up stuck @ the same point.
Following http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … AID_or_LVM , everything goes well up to "Configure Arch", where /mnt/etc is *not* created, making this step a dead end one.
There are 2 Sata HDDs with identical partition :
/dev/sda1 * 1 15 120456 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 16 10011 80292870 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 16 2564 20474811 fd Linux raid autodetect
/dev/sda6 2565 5113 20474811 fd Linux raid autodetect
/dev/sda7 5114 9880 38290896 fd Linux raid autodetect
/dev/sda8 9881 10011 1052226 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda1 is standard /boot
/dev/sd[ab]5 is a raid0 array with 3 partitions, the 3rd beeing free / for Arch setup.
/dev/sd[ab]6 is a raid1 array with 3 partitions for personnal data
/dev/sd[ab]7, raid0 array with 2 partitions that i can share for extra data (like /tmp)
/dev/sd[ab]8 are swap
I can activate existing RAID and LVM volumes, make a filesystem on /dev/systems/system3 array, mount it on /mnt then /sda1 on /mnt/boot. I also mounted other systems lvm partitions which went fine.
Configuring the network, downloading and installing base packages go fine.
Configure Arch gives me *empty* configuration files. i.e. Vi says "New DIRECTORY" for every configuration file.
It's been about a year I'm stuck there
Any advice's welcome.

Woow. Was able to finish the installation as soon as i choose "CD install" rather than "FTP install"
I know this is probably the first time in years i install a distro from the CD, so it might why i couldn't install Arch so many times.
Note that the issue with configure Arch had occured with every ISO i booted with since over a year

Cannot install Webpack on Ubuntu: 'Could not create destination path /opt/Xilinx/13.4/ISE_DS'

Hi there,
I managed to untar the compressed file and get xsetup running. It all works fine till the last bit where I click 'Install' which results an error:
Could not create destination path /opt/Xilinx/13.4/ISE_DS
Any ideas why? Thank you for your help in advance!

Hi
Check you have write permissions to the path /opt/Xilinx/13.4/ISE_DS?
If not, change the installation location to other path where you have write permissions.
Thanks,

DPM 2012 Install Fails, The Database was not Created ID 811

Hi.
I've tried installing DPM on a Standalone Server (SQL + DPM), and get the "Database was not Created" error. I initially tried DPM 2012 R2, and found that there is an issue with Disjoint Namespaces, so went to DPM 2012 SP1, but still getting
the same error.
The Install Account has full access rights (sysadmin) to the DPM SQL Instance, however cannot seem to get it right. The account using to do the install has full Enterprise admin, Domain Admin, Backup Operators & Administrators rights.
When opeining SQL Managemet studio, I can see the database has been created but the setup fails and requires me to revert.Here is the last few lines of the Install Log File, please help I always mark as answer.

Install error on Mac "could not create ~/library/application support/adobe/coresync"

Any reason why this would be happening and what I should do?

I'm getting this same error after trying to install on my mac pro.
I see that the cloud installer was able to create the ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe folder and a bunch of folders in side that, but it complains
about not being able to create the CoreSync folder.
I ran into this, then uninstalled everything, and nuked the ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe folder completely and started over.
The installed created the Adobe folder and "AAMUpdaterInventory", "AdobeApplicationManager", "Extension Manager CC", OOBE, SLCache, SLStore, Vulcan
folders just fine. but it can't create the CoreSync folder in the same location.
I'm stuck.

IDES install 4.7x200 SR1 does not create DB?

Hi,
I want to install IDES on Windows 2000 Server SP4 running on MSSQL 2000.
I prep the environment based on the install guide doco. I used Local installation (don't have AD in the test environment).
I use SAP MSSQL CD to install the MSSQL 2000 which I ran through the provided VBS script. It installs smoothly and applies the SP and the patch for unicode chars.
I created PRDadm (PRD is the SAP ID) and other user account mentioned in the doco, assigned them as administrator.
I managed to get sapinst.exe running and installed the non-unicode ABAP central installation without any complaints. After the installation, I check that there is no DB created in the MSSQL instance. From google, I found that the instance name has to be the same as the SAP ID, is this true?
When I try to start the SAP instance from SAP mmc, it shows error saying it can't connect to DB, which is very obvious.
I wonder if there's anyone who has experience in IDES install (especially v. 4.7x200SR1)?
And also how do I dump the IDES db? It's not in the install guide?
Thank you.
Lito

what I mean is ..
1.First install the DB server,suppose if it is Oracle we use Oracle universal installer by running server.cmd ( but not using SAPINST).
2.Then install central instance using SAPINST
3.Then install DB instance using SAPINST.
In the first step , dont create the database ,creation of DB will be done DB instance installation.
Both in CI and DB instance installations you have to specify SAP system ID and DB SID.usually these two are same.
Regarding your question..
1.to install DB Instance one has to run sapinst.exe
2.point 1 & 2 has nothing to do with 3,but you have to specify the DB sid .

/mnt/etc instead of /etc when configing in install

So, I get this really weird problem..
I'm installing ARch on a computer for dual boot use, with ubuntu.
Everything works fine up until the configuration.. The problem here is that that nano is looking for all config files under /mnt/etc/... but they are located under /etc/... and thus, I end up with empty, alternatively unconfigured files. I have looked in the mounted /etc/ and there are config files there.. Is it safe just to edit them with nano in an alternative window or is it a point in editing it in the installer? I suppose i could read /etc/.. to the file under /mnt/etc but what good will that do?
I'm using an old /boot that i mount, and an old SWAP, the / is, ofc, new.
Anybody knows what causes this and what i should do?:o
Edit: Nothing is wrong with the cd I think, successfull installs have been made with the same cd previously, not on dualboot systems though..
Edit 2: Tried to conf using the files under /etc but they don't contain what they should, looks like the second half of the files has been cut basicly..

Check the wiki and do a manual install or download the latest usb-image. I think this is more or less an issue with older cd isos.
Regarding the manual installation, or semi-manual or whatever feels good to say, this part of the dmraid-wiki might help.

I recently installed CS4, and I can not make a connection to my website. Message an FTP error occurred and cannot make a connection to host. The remote host cannot be found.

Open up your site definition (double-click on the site name in the File panel or choose Site > Manage Sites > Edit) and go to the Remote Info category. There, click Use Firewall (if it isn't already selected) - press Test to try the default firewall settings. If that doesn't work, click Firewall Settings. You'll see two relevant settings about 2/3 down - Firewall host and Firewall port. If Firewall port is 21, there probably is something blocking the port.
On Windows XP, you may have the Windows Firewall installed and blocking. Here's how you get to it:
To open Windows Firewall
1.
Click Start and then click Control Panel.
2.
In the control panel, click Windows Security Center.
3.
Click Windows Firewall.
Once you have that open, you'll need to set Dreamweaver as an exception to blocking:
On the Exceptions tab, click Add Program.
In the list of programs, click the name of the program (Dreamweaver) that you want to add, and then click OK. If the name of your program is not in the list of programs, click Browse to locate the Dreamweaver.exe in the Program Files folder and then click OK.
Hope this helps - Joe

After Installing Lion, Ical does not work. I cannot print, I cannot add an event, etc. How do I reinstall?

Since installing Lion OS, iCal does not work. I cannot add an event, print calendar, etc. How do i reinstall?

You can use Lion Recovery
Before you do that, go to ~/Library/Preferences
Move the com.apple.iCal.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
See if you can print or add an event now.

If I do an FTP install will I get latest Kernel - fuse etc etc etc ??

Hi... I love ARCHBOOT and my local repository on a usb stick though I'm about to do a reinstall to get all the new 2.6.30 stuff. ARCHBOOT isn't going to work for now I think...
SO, may I ask that IF I boot from the CD and do an FTP install will I get the latest base stuff AND all everything else the latest versions? I thnk yes, though thought to ask the gurus here....
thank you!

Yes.... good to have comfirmation.... thanks.
I remind myself how much I enjoy since last week using ARCHBOOT and a ocal repository / repo-add all on one usb stick for total offince SUPER fast install. I am going to attempt to update te core database for ARCHBOOT as doing an ftp install is not so interesting/logical for me now, as I get better with ARCH.
many thanks!

ITunes cannot sync apps to the iPod because the apps installed on the iPod could not be determined

I have a 3rd generation iPod touch. I just downloaded the IOS 5.0, I seem to have all the features (reader, notification center, newsstand, etc.), but I recently experienced a problem.
After getting the update and restoring my iPod, iTunes started reinstalling all my music, apps, and videos. It reinstalled all my apps last, and before that, I used iTunes to delete a lot of them and organize them into folders. I then re synced it. Midway through this, I had to leave, but I had heard that I could sync my iPod wirelessly if it was connected to wifi and an outlet, so I checked the little box and tried this. However, I then got the error message "iTunes cannot sync apps to the iPod '______' because the apps installed on the iPod could not be determined". All my songs, videos, and 5,800 photos are on there, but half my apps are fully synced and usable, while the other half shows up with a loading bar at the bottom saying "waiting".
Yes, I have the "Sync Apps" box ticked.
Yes, my computer is authorized.
Yes, I have verified that all the apps are in my iTunes.
Yes, I tried plugging my iPod back into iTunes and manually syncing it.
I would simply restore it and resync again, but the majority of my photos aren't on my computer, so if I did that, they would be gone. After I installed the IOS 5.0, and my iPod was restored, it automatically put all my photos back. If someone can tell me whether or not this is something that's automatic whenever you restore your iPod (whether it be manually from iTunes or from an update), that would also be greatly appreciated.
However, what I'm looking for is simply a way to get my other 80+ apps back in working order without having to restore my iPod or anything too complicated.

EDIT:
I tried restarting my iPod... now it just says that the iPod cannot be synced because the required disk cannot be found.
This update is seriously frustrating. I've heard from a lot of people that the wifi iTunes sync isn't working either.

[SOLVED] FTP install (in MS Virtual PC 2007)

Hi all,
I'm new to Archlinux, coming from Debian and Ubuntu distros.
I'm attempting to install Archlinux in an MS Virtual PC 2007 VM at my work. Everything seems to have gone fine so far until I get to select my packages. It says on any server I choose, "Error fetching package list from server". The first step "Configure Network" seemed to go fine, using DHCP. I moved to another console (Alt-F4) and checked my rc.conf settings. Under "Networking" I have:
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo !eth0)
When I try the command ifconfig it shows all my networking info, which looks fine to me. When I ping google.com it returns, "ping: unknown host google.com" which would mean my network isn't working. I tried restarting the networking daemon with "/etc/rc.d/network restart" and it didn't help.
I wonder if it's because it's in a VM? Or should I not do the FTP install? Or is there something missing in my rc.conf?
Thanks.

Hmm, I'm not sure about DNS.
I can ping the rounter fine.
I setup a "static ip" entry in rc.conf. So my config looks like:
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="eth0 192.168.1.116 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)
I made sure 192.168.1.116 wasn't already being used by pinging it on my host computer.
Restarting the network daemon and pinging google.com still results with packet loss. I wonder if it's something to do with my works network configuration. I'll try this again when I get home.

Resolved - iTunes cannot sync apps to iPad "ipadName" because the apps installed on the iPad could not be determined.

Current setup
- Dell Destop running Windows XP SP3
- iTunes 10.5 as of 11/02/2011
- iPad 2 iOS 5.0 as of 11/02/2011
I recently got the error message iTunes cannot sync apps to iPad "ipadName" because the apps installed on the iPad could not be determined. I had already upgrade the iPad to iOS 5.0 several weeks ago and had no issues. I had also sync'f many many times in the past with no issues.
I was able to sync on Sunday and then "All of a sudden", I could not sync on Monday. Tried closing out all my apps on the iPad, that didn't help. Tried restarted my desktop and the iPad and then sync, that didn't help. Tried logging into my AppleID account via iTunes and iPad to see if that would clear up anything in the background, that didn't help. I also couldn't really find anything on the web that helped.
Come Monday, I decided to just delete the apps from iPad manually and go about it that way. When I tried to delete the app, it did not give me the (x) option to delete. Weird? Did a quick search online and someone suggested that the Restriction to delete apps was OFF. DING, DING, that was it. Checked my settings and sure nough, I had made that change late on Sunday. Enabled the ability to delte my apps and was able to delete my apps. Then I thought, would this also fix my sync issue?
Crossed my fingers and attempted to sync my iPad in iTunes and like Emeril Says "Bam"! I was able to sync my iPad once again without having to reset my iPad, etc.
I hope this helps many of you save several hours. I also think that Apple should add additional verbage to that message such as check that you are not restricting the deletion of apps or something like that.

Based on an online post, I tried the following and it worked for me:
1. Windows 7: Control panel > Device Manager
2. Right click my PC's name > "scan for hardware changes"
3. Restart iTunes
4. Restart IPad
5. Connect IPad
6. Still I got the same error
7. Restart iTunes

I am encountering the same problem. This is a good start but need some guidance:
1. How do you get to the iTunes files you mention?
2. What specific files do you need?
3. Will I lose any data?
Thanks for any help.
1) The files are in the iTunes folder. The iTunes folder is in your Music folder which is in your home folder (user).
So go to <user home>/Music/iTunes.
2) Any files that end with .xml, .itl, or itdb. Please note that I had upgraded iTunes many times over the years and had several obsolete versions of those files in my iTunes folder. By moving them out and forcing iTunes to create new ones (see steps 3 & 4 above), I was able to determine which ones iTunes actually needed. Those were the files that I copied back into the iTunes folder, overlaying the new empty files.
3) Always make backups before you try tricks like this. I would recommend backing up your entire iTunes folder. I did not experience any data loss. Those files seem to contain your iTunes library information but not the actual music, movies, etc. When I started iTunes in step 3 (see above), iTunes showed an empty library. After performing step 4 (see above), I started iTunes again and it showed all my music, movies, etc. So I assume that the actual media files are stored elsewhere. Again, always make backups before trying something like this. I use Time Machine.
Good luck. Let us know what happens.

Hi, after installing Adobe CC I tried opening Adobe Photoshop. This failed. I get the opening window where it says installing plugins searching etc, after which PS opens in full screen. Just moments after that there's a fail warning, no code number, only

Hi, after installing Adobe CC I tried opening Adobe Photoshop. This failed.
I get the opening window where it says installing plugins searching etc, after which PS opens in full screen.
Just moments after that there's a failure warning, no code number, only the warning that PS failed to open and PS will close.
I tried downloading it for a second time, but this did'nt solve the problem.
Befor the CC version I used a one year student version of Adobe CS6.
What can I do?

Regarding the Flash Player problem, disable Hardware Acceleration to circumvent driver incompatibilities.
Regarding the Flash Pro installation problems, post in the Flash forums or http://forums.adobe.com/community/download_install_setup

[FTP Install] cannot install as /mnt/etc is not created
