Installing Xorg without internet access

hey all - I did a quick lookthrough and I couldn't seem to find anything on this (but please feel free to yell at me if I didn't RTFM enough etc.)
My problem is this - I live on campus here at school and the school feels that Cisco's Clean Access is necessary for safety etc. (I'm not arguing, but it is a PITA). I just finished the core install of the latest ISO and I realized that I can't get online because I need a web browser to authenticate against the school's servers (to verify that I am running linux and not WinXP / Vista which would require more stuff...). The problem is that links / elinks / lynx don't offer advanced enough technology to log me in. I need Xorg (and dillo or firefox) to log in.
See my catch-22? I need Xorg to log in to the network (as I need the browsers) but I need the network to download Xorg. Would it be possible for someone in here to copy / paste the contents of the 'xorg' package group and all of their dependencies? (I know that's a lot of packages, but I see no other way...)
If anyone has any ideas on how to get these packages onto my system in an easier fashion, please help me out here.
Thanks again.

How do you need to authenticate?
If you need to use user/pass try
export HTTP_PROXY=user:[email protected]
export http_proxy=$HTTP_PROXY
then fire up w3m, or links/lynx maybe at least that will get you working with pacman.
You could also download all the pkgs onto a flashdrive/cd and copy them to /var/pacman/cache and then pacman -S xorg

  • Flash player for systems without internet access

    I am trying to install the newest version of Flash on a few computers without internet access, but I'm having a hard time making that happen.  What do I need to do to get the latest version of Flash on them without connecting them to the internet (they are in an area where internet access is forbidden).
    Thanks

    Hi Justin,
    You can download the full installers from the following help pages (including both Windows and Mac, as there was no OS specified):
    Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac
    Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows
    Scroll to the bottom, in the 'Still having problems' section.  There are several installer types for various browsers.  You'll want to download the ones for the browsers you use.

  • If I own Photoshop Elements 5.0 on an old computer without internet access, how do I open the image

    If I have Photoshop Elements 5.0 on an old computer without internet access, how can I open the image I created so I can print it?  The new computer with internet is not the one I have registered the Photoshop product.
    Thanks.
    Eddie

    Hi eddie
      If you saved the image on the old computer as a project or a PSD file it will only open in Elements. The best thing to do is make another copy and then transfer it to the flash drive.
    If you open the saved collage in the PSE5 Editor you can click the top menu Layer à Flatten Image
    Then click File à Save As and choose jpeg.
    Copy the jpeg to the flash drive and then plug it into the new computer and drag the jpeg collage to Pictures or another folder.

  • RV042 Windows incompatibility HTTP Connections between Subnets without Internet access

    Hello, 
    We are a company of the banking sector
    We have two RV042 Router.
    One of this Router (R1) is configured for restrict users without internet access. This router doesn´t internet connections, the Wan ports are blocked.
    Router 1: restricted users
    Router 1 IP Lan: 10.22.4.1/24   
    Router 1 IP Subnet 1: 10.22.1.2/24 (For communication with Web Servers on Lan 10.22.1.0/24)
    Pc1: 10.22.4.3/24
    DNS: 10.22.4.51/24 (This DNS Server have an Internet connection through subnet 2)
    The other router (R2) has an internet connection through the wan port for the access of the DNS Servers for respond to request of clients, and a web server in this subnet
    Router 2:  Web Server´s LAN and Internet Connection for the DNS Server
    Router 2 IP Lan: 10.22.1.1/24
    Router 2 IP Subnet 2: 10.22.4.2/24 (For communication with restricted user on Lan 10.22.4.0/24)
    Web Server: 10.22.1.60/24
    We need to access the web server from the network restricted users.
    From Linux Operating System, the access to web server its ok
    But, from Windows Operating Systems, we can´t access to web server. Time Out
    So, we think that there are some incompatibility between the Router RV042 and the windows operating systems 
    On the website of microsoft, there is an article regarding an incompatibility issue with the RV042 which could help
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934430
    we copied a file attachment.
    Thanks, sorry for bad English

    Hi,
    Have you also tested configuring static route?
    I am asking that, because RV042 does not support VLANs and following that cannot do inter-VLAN routing. Configuring subnet with Multiple Subnet option is only giving access to this subnet to internet. Unless a static route is not configured as where this traffic to be routed in the LAN, the router itself normally will drop the packet.
    If it works for you, this leads me to the thought that there is other routes that packets from LAN 10.22.1.0 to LAN 10.22.4.2 (and vice versa) are taking, but not necessarily the routers.
    Here I can just give a direction of where to look, but if you think you checked all possibilities, it would be better to contact the support line. They will help as long as the device is under warranty.
    Hereby the contacts:

    Does anyone know how to disable the auto-update for Adobe Reader 9.0?
    The only article I have seen explains how to disable the update for 7.0 or 8.0 (both change a registry key bUpdater to 0, which does not exist for 9.0).
    Anyone have an idea?

  • Movie not loaded without internet access

    We have developed a flash movie to industry showing production data for a machine. Clients running this flash movie in a web browser. Some of these clients have internet access and others do not.
    The clients have access to intrernet shows flash movie without problems.
    The clients without internet access just shows a black box with the text note loeaded movie.
    The customer does not want to connect these clients to intenet but would consider opening specific ports or websites if necessary.
    What is it that requires flash player from internet to download flash movies?
    Flash movie connects to a server over XML socket to exchange production data. Serve respond to requests for policy-file-request with <cross-domain-policy> <allow-access-from domain='*' to-ports='*'/> </ cross-domain-policy> \ 0th
    It does not matter which version of the flash player or internet explorer that we use. We have tested many different varieties.
    Hoping for help!

    What errors are you getting when connecting to the server? There's several events you should be listening for, e.g. Event.CONNECT, Event.CLOSE, DataEvent.DATA, IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, etc..
    One of those should be giving you some useful information about the connection status.
    What sandbox are you using? Here's some info on setting the sandbox to essentially Administrator level so the SWF is allowed to connect to all resource types via a config file:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ActionScript/3.0_ProgrammingAS3/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118a9 b90204-7c95.html
    If not running AIR (which removes the need for that config) you're going to want your SWF to have access to local filesystem and networking without restriction. You should check what Security.sandboxType is set to. If the config file is successful (or you use the SWF settings menu to add the SWF as trusted) it should report Security.LOCAL_TRUSTED. If it's AIR it will report Security.APPLICATION. Then you know the SWF has permission to access network.
    Outside that the events returned from the socket connect should let you know if the problem lies on the server. I'm assuming you're already running a Security.allowDomain("*"). I don't know if this pertains to LAN IP ranges however, that'd be a good question. It falls in WAN in the 192.168.x.x and 10.0.0.x ranges.

  • Install and use Adobe Digital Editions on a computer without internet access ?

    Hello,
    I have a pair of PCs, one of them, with Windows Vista, has never been connected to the internet since many years. It is used for word processing mostly. I didn't even bother to plug an ethernet cable inside or think about a Wifi USB key, in a way it's better that way, no useless distractions and no security threats.
    I want to use that offline PC for work, and it would require to use Adobe Digital Editions on that machine. I downloaded the offline standalone installer from adobe.com without problems, however, apparently, Adobe only accepts us to use the program after we have activated it through internet access.
    Does that mean there is simply no way out, and I can't use Digital Editions on my offline computer ?
    Would you perhaps know a solution to this issue ?
    Thank you VERY MUCH if you can help !
    Kind regards

    I don't think there is a way out.
    You could use it for non-DRM books without authorizing, but there are much better options (such as the free Calibre) for that anyway. http://calibre-ebook.com/
    If you make a temporary internet connection, then once authorized, you should not need internet access to read books you have got elsewhere and copied to it.

  • Solution for installing Blackberry apps without internet access

    Have the 8330 which has bluetooth but not WiFi.  Just read and article at: http://forums.crackberry.com/blackberry-apps-f35/h​owto-install-apps-without-bis-57032/    I write to inquire if any knowledgeable  members have read this and is this a plausible solution. 
    I would like to try it but the script but I find that one must replace the app name with the name of the one of interest.  In this case I am interested in the audible.com audiobook player.  My first question would be "How does one know the precise app name that would work...  there could be many variations.  Hoping for a short dialog with someone that can comment on such things.

  • How can I use Airport Express to create a standalone Wi-Fi network without Internet Access so I can browse web pages on the local network? I will be using MAMP as my server (Apache)

    I would like to create my own Wi-Fi standalone network at an upcoming tradeshow where there will be NO internet access.
    Currently, I run and develop sites on my iMac use MAMP to manage my sites locally. Using MAMP, I run my sites as though they are on the internet although everything is local.
    I purchased an Airport Express hoping I could create a standalone network so that the iMac would broadcast its website to whatever device connects to it such as my iPhone, iPad and MacBookPro.
    However, after setting up the network successfully (I have a green light on the Airport Express, and there is NO internet going through it), I  am  not able to go any further by logging into the iMac's websites from the other machines. Form my MacBookPro Finder, I can look at files and folders using afp://10.0.1.2, from the Find/Go/Connect to Server utility, but I can't browse the website that is running on the iMac via the Safari browser.
    Can anyone help me configure my MacBookPro (or iPad, or iPhone) to run the website on the iMac when they are all on the same network?
    Thanks so much!!

    1) connecting the TC using a ethernet cable from one of the two modem's LAN ports to the TC's WAN port
    2) create a new Wi-Fi network using the TC ?
    Does someone already create a new Wi-Fi network using its TC connected by Ethernet on a modem/router device ? How do you set up the DHCP (and NAT) ? Which range did you use ?
    This is easy enough to do..
    Plug the TC directly into a computer.. without other connections to do the setup.
    Using the newly installed 5.6 utility.
    Bridge the TC.
    Create a wireless network.
    This is an older screen shot and I would set security to WPA2 Personal only not WPA/WPA2 Personal as shown above.
    I do recommend you use wireless names that are short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
    Update the TC..
    Now plug it into the modem router.. it will be a part of the network without doing NAT and DHCP itself.. which you do not want.. that leads to double NAT issues.. but it is a WAP that provides access to devices on both 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands directly to the main router.
