I do not understand what ABS is nor the way it works

So that is the question. Any help is welcome for I am completely clueless.

Did you read http://www.archlinux.org/docs/en/guide/ … .html#SEC5 ?
Some more simple points :
- ABS is completely optional. You can run Arch w/o ABS.
- ABS is what the arch developers use to create and maintain the distribution.
- ABS is for you if you want to change how some packages are compiled.
- ABS is for you if you want to add software "the Arch way", i.e. put it under pacman's control instead of the "./configure && make install" routine which would put "stray files" into /usr/local

    Hi photo3747,
    Please be a bit more specific as to what password are you referring to. Is it it the Adobe ID password?
    If yes, you can reset the password by simply clicking on 'Forgot password' lin below it on the login screen.

    The 3GS was not sold as an unlocked phone in the US 2 years ago and AT&T did not offer unlocking then.
    You bought a hacked phone. The Apple servers can detect the hack and have now disabled activation. Contact AT&T and find out if you qualify to have it unlocked or buy a new legitimately unlocked phone.

  • I received a second iPad Air as a gift and sold on Ebay.  The person who bought it asked if is a Oem pad.  Not sure what that means.  The model part number is PF004LL/A

    I received a second iPad Air as a gift and sold on Ebay.  The person who bought it asked if is a Oem pad.  Not sure what that means.  The model part number is PF004LL/A.

    You can see the model number in Settings>General>About>Model. The model number has a two-letter code, a number and some more letters. The last part stands for the country/region. The first letter can be "F" (refurbished), "M" (normal retail), or "P" (personalized / engraved). For example MC605B is the model MC605 and B is for the region.
    What country does my device belong to?

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the iTunes forum appropriate for your system (Mac or Windows).

  • We have a 5s active on our account.  After turning on a previously active 4s (it had the same number)  The 5s can no longer place call and when you call it from another phone the 4s rings, but will not pick up.  Texting over the cell networks works fine.

    hens0861,
    Hmm, let's ensure this is working as it should be! So what phone should be active on your account? Did you switch the devices online or how to did you activate the 5s? Please share details.

  • I updated my LG G3 this week and now it SUCKS!  When I'm connected to WIFI, nothing on Facebook works.  The photos and videos won't populate.  I have to turn off the WIFI and only use the mobile data. Not to mention, I really hate the way it looks now.

    I updated my LG G3 this week and now it SUCKS!  When I'm connected to WIFI, nothing on Facebook works.  The photos and videos won't populate.  I have to turn off the WIFI and only use the mobile data. Not to mention, I really hate the way it looks now.   Before I updated my phone, I really liked it, now I don't like my phone at all!  When will this be fixed? I hope it's soon.  I'm thinking of changing providers now.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • I have just won an iphone 3gs in a raffle but when i put in my sim it tells me that it is not supported how can i get the iphone to work

    I have just won an iphone 3gs in a raffle but when i put in my sim it tells me that it is not supported how can i get the iphone to work?

    In that case the procedure assuming it is a PAYG phone is to get an o2 PAYG sim, put £20 on it and then make a few calls making sure you leave £15 on the sim to pay for the unlock. Then there is an online unlock request form on the o2 site just fill this in. It takes between 1-14 days and you get a message from o2 telling you how to complete the official unlock through iTunes.
    I got my o2 unlock in nov 09 so this is not just opinion.

  • Is there any where that I can voice why I returned my beloved new Ipad? I was told I could move my Keynote presentations to it and then use it for my business presentations. Unfortunately that turned out to not be true. I need the IPad to work with a remo

    Is there any where that I can voice why I returned my beloved new Ipad? I was told I could move my Keynote presentations to it and then use it for my
    business presentations. Unfortunately that turned out to not be true. I need the IPad to work with a remote.
    The Ipad is on a short cable to my projector. I am usually on a podium 30 feet away. No infra red receiver on the IPad and
    the Iphone remote needs wi fi which is not always available in all the locations I do my teaching and lecturing in.
    If you can build a remote into the Ipad in the future I would really like to use an Ipad to replace my heavier lap top for business travel. Thank You Kathy McNeil.

    Get a longer cable?

  • We do not understand what Mozilla Firefox means by Firefox Final Release Channel

    We are a university that uses the Blackboard Vista 8 product. In order for our students to complete their courses online in Blackboard, they have to use compatible and certified browsers. The Blackboard vendor has a website detailing which browsers the students should use. The URL is http://kb.blackboard.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=75071574. No one understands what the vendor (Blackboard) or Mozilla Firefox means by the phrase "Firefox (Final Release Channel)." Does this mean the latest version of Firefox? If so, why not say the latest version and where did the word "channel" come from and what does it mean? It's not explained anywhere on the Firefox website.

    Mozilla has 4 channels. In order of less to more secure and stable: Nightly, Aurora, Beta, Release.
    On the page you reference, "Final Release Channel" refers to Mozilla's "Release". These are versions that have been completed and "pushed" out for download by everyone. The most current version is always available at https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/ (currently, Firefox 6.0).
    There are only 2 currently supported versions: Firefox 6.0 and Firefox 3.6.20.
    *All other versions have stability and security issues that will not be corrected, but are corrected in the updated versions, as they are released.
    Other download links:
    *Current version (now version 6.0): http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Older supported version (now 3.6.20): http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    According to the chart on the page you referenced, your students should be using Firefox 3.6.20 (Firefox 3.5.x versions are no longer supported or updated).
    The certified/compatible classifications are Blackboard's determination.
    '''<u>Firefox Portable</u>'''<br />
    If your students wish to use the most current version of Firefox for their everyday browsing and use a Blacboard compatible version for use only with Blackboard activities, they can have both on their systems by installing Firefox Portable (not produced by Mozilla):
    *Firefox Portable installs in a separate folder on your hard drive so that it does not interfere with your current version Firefox settings or personal information (bookmarks, passwords, etc.). Add-ons are also kept separate.
    *You can also install Firefox Portable on a USB/thumb/pin/jump drive.
