Networkless install gives "not found in sync db" error

I'm trying to install on a laptop which whose network drivers are not in the install kernel and which doesn't have a cd. All files have to be transferred by usb till I can get it up and running and install the drivers.
I got the machine to boot from the network (pxeboot) and got into the install shell without any problems. On another machine I downloaded the current core iso, mounted it and copied all the packages to a usb disk which I then mounted as /src/arch/pkg on the laptop.
When doing step 2 of the install I got an error that it couldn't find /src/arch/pkg/setup so I created that directory, the errors went away but I then didn't get any packages in the package list. I tried mounting the package disk as /src/arch/pkg/setup and then tried again. This time I got a list of packages. I selected them all and went to step 3.
At this point it tries to access the network to refresh the package database, fails and gives me the error:
error: 'acl-2.2.47': not found in sync db
Looking in VT5 I get
error: failed to retrieve file 'current.db.tar.gz' from : No such file or directory
error: filed to synchronize current: no such file or directory
error: filed to synchronize any databases
Have I done something wrong? Having to create the setup directory feels wrong, I thought I just put the packages in /src/arch/pkg so I'm guessing that that may have something to do with it.
If not, how can I get round this? Can I create a database and drop it on the machine?

unselect ABS from the package selection and try again.
Then install the abs package from the completed base install.

Not sure why typing 'gimp' is bringing up 'gimpshop', but anyhoo...
I just punched in 'http://mirrors.easynews.com/linux/archl … po/os/i686' into Epiphany and it 404's, so I'd assume it's down at the mo. Meantime, if you go into your mirrorlist and uncomment whichever 'Server = *' is closest to you (you could just do any of them, but the nearest ones will give you better performance) and comment out that bottom line.
All going to plan, that should sort it.

Installed but not found on computer

I've successfully installed the latest 10.1 for my 64-bit laptop with Windows 7. A check by Adobe confirms that it was properly installed, and that I have the correct version for my computer.
AND YET, there is no icon for it anywhere, it doesn't come up on my list of Programs, when I enter "Adobe Flash Player" in the search bar it shows no such program, and when I try to play a FLV file, it won't give me Flash Player as an option. So..... I have it on my computer, but I apparently am not allowed to see it or access it?
I've uninstalled and re-installed several times, and cannot for the life of me figure out what the problem is. Any help for this maddening situation?

Hi,
Yes, I read his comments and I made sure Shockwave Flash Object was enabled in IE as he suggested. I am trying to make a flip book. One of the posts here in the forum said to make a SWF file, which I did. But now I can't figure out how to do anything with it. I thought Flash Reader was the right program to look at it, but maybe I'm wrong? Maybe I need Flash itself? The flip book thing has me pretty frustrated and confused. All the sites and software I've tried are poor quality. I was hoping I could figure out how to do it through Adobe to get better quality.
1. Oct 17, 2010 1:30 PM in response to: jonstrebler
Re: Installed but not found on computer
Hi, Flash Player is a browser plugin, not a stand alone Player. You should have Shockwave Flash Object in add ons in IE and make sure it is enabled.
Your Flash files are in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
You may want the Adobe Media Player:http://www.adobe.com/products/mediaplayer/
Hope that helps,

Hi,
I am installing Oracle clinical 4.5.x.
I need to know whether both the Database server and application server for Oracle Clinical can be installed on same server(windows 2000 server).
Both of them are installed on windows platform.
It seems that u have tried the single node installation.
So,please give all the possible details regarding the single node installation for oracle clinical no matter what platform it is.
Please reply me as soon as possible, its urgent.
Thanking u in advance.

Not found in sync db

This is a great forum, and lots of responses are quick which is awesome. Not to mention Arch is amazing.
I'm trying to install Amarok, so as root I'm pacman -S amarok, which returns with this
root@tuxzilla tux #pacman -S amarok
amarok: not found in sync db
Not sure what is going wrong here, maybe I don't have pacman configured properly, any help would be great.

tuxzilla22 wrote:Uh oh, is there a terminal to get that will allow copy and pasting, or control c'ing, sorry if this is a bit noobish'
Use Ctrl+Insert, Shift+Insert. Which will work in windows too.
Alternatively you can select the text, then press the middle button/mouse wheel to paste.
And its amarok-base if you havent got it working yet...
EDIT: beaten to it

i had to do a couple of hard reboots recently, could that have been the cause?
Yes, I think your local pacman database was corrupted - some files were probably missing. For instance on ext4 filesystem, it can take 30 seconds (by default) until the data is written from cache to the disk. If you hard reboot during that time, the files can go missing.

[SOLVED]/usr/lib/arch-tempfiles line 106: install:command not found

Hi everyone!
This is my boot.log
http://pastebin.com/1gfynhSN
It says"/usr/lib/initscripts/arch-tmpfiles:line 106: install:command not found".This is leading to problems such as dbus and network manager not being started(even manually),no shutdown option,not able to 'open' log files without sudo etc.
I think a possible reason for this is that I had messed up with symlinks.I had issued the command
sudo ln -s /bin/install /usr/bin/install
.Then I had used
cd /bin/
unlink install
Now,I find that /bin/install and /usr/bin/install does not exist.(I have deleted them!) .How can I fix this up?Any help would be appreciated.

Reinstall coreutils (or manually extract install from the package and put it in /usr/bin).

What would cause this? Old code? Missing package?

It was actually really old code, after a bit of successful this-should-probably-work script editing! I created a package in the AUR called dasm, which is an assembler for the Atari 2600 among many other systems.

HT1296 iphone not found when syncing?

Iphone not found when syncing? How do you fix?

Have you tried this?
Turn your device off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your device and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a device in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.

Should I be concerned or is everything fine? Can anyone reproduce this?

Check /var/abs/extra/eclipse/eclipse.install. Typo in post_remove: post-install should be post_install. You can run the post_install manually (and maybe report this in the bug tracker), but it just updates the gtk icon cache, so it's nothing to worry about.

Networkless install gives "not found in sync db" error
