Offline Installation of Large Group Packages

Hey.  I'm trying to install xorg and fluxbox offline.  I followed the wiki article about Offline Installation and everything works fine up until the pacman -S command.  First I tried without building a repository, then with, but neither approach worked.
I get past the package list confirmation and then pacman fails looking for the first package from the ftp repositories.  Everything is setup correctly and the repository and pacman.conf are all working fine.  Is there any way to do this without building a massive pacman -S statement listing all the packages?
Mike

I think you're have something set up wrong, since if you've downloaded the packages to the pacman's cache directory, it automatically picks them up. In other words, it tries to download *only if* it doesn't find them in cache.
So for instance:
- with the default setup, if you download the packages to /var/cache/pacman/pkg, it installs fine
- with your custom repo, make sure that the repo is listed first in pacman.conf (so that pacman associates the packages with your repo, not with [extra])

  • Offline installation of Adobe Reader 11 in Greek Language

    Hi,
    I have to prepare an offline installation guide with the packages to install Adobe Reader 11 with several languages.
    I found all of the required packages (e.g. AdbeRdr11000_de_DE.exe, AdbeRdr11000_en_US.exe, AdbeRdr11000_tr_TR.exe etc.) but one in Greek.
    Where can I find the offline installation of Adobe Reader for Greek Language?
    Regards,

    Thank you for reply Pat.
    I did see v.10 of Acrobat in Greek but I really need v. 11 to be consistent. I also checked the MUI version of v.11 and it does not have Greek either.
    Did Acrobat stop to support Greek Language?

  • CC App Offline Installation Package Downloads

    I can login my CC account, download and install app via my Internet line for a Windows PC.  However, I have a slow Internet connection and I have a number of PCs more to install the apps.  Can I download offline installation folders for the CC Apps to speed up the installation process instead of downloading from each PC 1 by 1?

    Hi CC App Downloads,
    Please find the direct link to download CC apps: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-direct-download-links.html.

  • Offline installer for Lion Server? Can it be done?

    Hi guys,
    /rant
    Before I get to the topic of this post let me state, the claimed download size for Lion Server is WAAAAAY off the +14MB they say it is. I have reinstalled it few times now and this time around I monitored the download and it came in at the +200MB mark!!! Sure, maybe the initial installer is only 14MB but it pulls down another +200MB when setting it up. Why is this not mentioned on the App Store page? Surely we should be told about such a large additional download.
    /end rant
    Can anyone tell me if its possible to make an offline installer for Lion Server, in the same way that it can be done for the Lion client?
    I have been tinkering with it a lot and have had to reinstall a few times and would prefer to not have to download 200MB everytime I screw something up, if it can be avoided.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi defecta,
    i have the same problem. I had to install a new server with lion at the cusomers site in a heavy military bunker below earth and no internet around. I was allowed to bring the server up to surface and give it internet with a myfi. As you can imagine it took some hours to download on a bad mobile connection out in the woods. I do know i have to install that server from scratch after it has been tested.
    Have you or anyone else been able to capture the download? Is there a place to get an offline install package, a DVD or Stick. Sadly its to late now to image that server after fresh install.

  • Clusterware Installation - Clock Skew and Packages Issue?

    Hi,
    Can someone share how to resolve installation issues in Clusterware10.2,
    rac1 - VM Centos4.7, 512 RAM
    rac2 - VM Centos4.7, 512 RAM
    Both VMs are located on Windows XP physical box.
    1. error while copying directory /u01/crs/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs with exclude file list 'null' to node 'rac2'. [PRKC-1002: All submitted commands did not execute successfully.
    - when I check the log, time stamp in rac2 is 'x' in the future, where x = variable, 2 sec, 100 sec etc.
    What is the allowable clock skew between 2 nodes?
    2. My cluvfy output command failed due to not exact packages,
    Ex. compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.128
    actual package, using command ( rpm -qa compat-gcc*)
    -  compat-gcc-32-c++-3.2.3-47.3
       compat-gcc-32-3.2.3-47.3
    Can we proceed to installation with not exact package version?
    3. During installation, all configuration assistant failed. Any idea why this is happening? My cluvfy output is shown below.

    Hi
    answer q1
    This error because your second node time was greater than node one, this is causing OUI failed in running tar command on second node.
    you need to set node 2 time slighter less or equal to node 1 time
    answer q2
    yes we can proceed installation with package greater or equal than required
    answer q3
    it seems your VMs memory allocation were to small (512MB). I don't think that would be enough to installing rac.
    and try to install required packages

  • Very Large Deployment Packages

    Hello,
    I have a couple ADRs for Updates that have very large deployment packages upwards of 12GB.  These ADR's are downloading many updates for many OSs and just keeps adding them to the deployment packages.  Is there a best practice on how to better
    manage updates using ADR's and there deployment packages?
    Thanks.
    Shawn

    Hi,
    1. Create a new software update group each time an automatic deployment and for general deployment.
    2. Use an existing software update group for automatic deployment rules for Endpoint Protection definition updates

    Do NOT want:

    Edit: (including the text from other site)
     to silent install Windows Live essential use switchs like this :

    /AppSelect:<ApplicationID> select features you want to install
    !<ApplicationID> are features that should not be installed
    /q mean silent installation

    PhotoGallery
    OLC (Outlook Connector)
    Messenger
    Writer
    MovieMaker
    Companion (Messenger Companion)
    FamilySafety
    wlsync (Live Mesh)
    Bingbar
    idcrl (Live Sign in Assistant)
    examples :

  • Offline installer for CC Desktop / Server availability issues.

    This is a follow up to the issue described here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5620240#5620240
    As we have to install CC Desktop on each of the systems deploying CS6 packages, I'm looking for an offline installer for it. Is such a thing available?
    The reasons I ask are that A) There's no guarantee that the machine will have internet access during the installation. and B) Half the time I run it on a desktop, I get an error message telling me "The remote server is not responding in a proper manner"; my response to which was similarly improper...
    My "Deployment" such as it is now relies on users copying the file form a network share on to their desktops, running it individually and hoping that the server is online. Not fun when you've got 50 artists across 5 studios wanting to get these packages installe; and that's only so I can proceed to the wheel-of-fortune that is the AAMEE-produced MSI package.
    Are these server availability issues commonplace? Is this just one of those things that afflicts all software launches that rely too heavily on online components?

    Hi Terry,
    If it's helpful, you can find and use all the original offline installers for all Creative Cloud and CS6 tools (including the CC Desktop App) here:
    Adobe CC Direct Download Links
    and/or
    Adobe CS6 Direct Download Links
    If you have those files in hand then you can install the free trials anywhere while being offline.  In most cases the Internet is used to activate the software longer-term, although Adobe still provides procedures for offline activation:
    Activate your software offline
    If the computer on which your software is installed cannot connect to the Internet or to Adobe’s activation servers, you can activate your software offline.

  • Adobe Flash Player won't install into Firefox, even when using the offline installer, and downloading it through Firefox

    Ever since the latest update of the Adobe Flash Player, I think it came out this week.
    I can't seem to get it to work with Firefox, I have downloaded the installer, it installs successfully, then I check in Firefox to see if it works. It says that I need to install it?!?! I have tried the offline installer of the Adobe Flash Player, I also tried installing it through Firefox (when you click "Install missing plugins"). That just fails instantly.
    I posted on the Adobe Forums, but no luck.
    I am getting frustrated with this! I have never had problems with installing the Flash Player, and I didn't install this version any different from the previous versions. Flash Player was working well until the latest update of Flash Player was released.
    If I go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash, it shows all the Flash Player files, but it's not showing up in the Firefox addon manager, and not working on YouTube, or any other Flash Player sections of sites.
    I installed the 64-bit version, because I have a 64-bit Windows.
    It works on IE, but not on Firefox.
    It seems like it installs fine, but then it doesn't looks like it "installs" it into Firefox. Or whatever...
    Also, I have tried uninstalling it with the Adobe 64-bit Uninstaller, restarting my PC after uninstalling, then install the 64-bit Flash Player for Firefox... doesn't work.
    I have done EVERYTHING I can do to try and get it to work, no luck...
    Please, any help with be appreciated!

  • Flash Builder 4.7 Premium offline installer

    Hi,
    Where can I find offline installer for Flash Builder 4.7 Premium. I have to backup all application installers in my company (regarding web development) and I can't find it anywhere on adobe.com. Is there any chance to get installer after downloading it via Adobe Creative Cloud app or is there direct link?
    Medyk

    Hi Jeff, Thanks for your reply.  we purchased the upgrade license directly from Adobe web site and I can only see the order of the upgrade license from https://www.adobe.com/account/account-orders.html.
    The original Flash builder 4.0 Premium was purchased through a reseller our company normally use back in 2010.  The Software license certificate shows TLP 5.0 LICENSE PROGRAM - CORPORATE.  We do have either 4 or 6 seat license.   We only have 1 developer left for this project so only 1 upgrade license was purchased.
    Does our Flash builder 4.0 premium license qualify for the upgrade offer?  If not how do we upgrade?

    The thread containing - "How to Perform a Clean Install of Flash Player in Mac OS X" -  was an answer given by Mike M. several times in this forum. I attempted to access the "offline installer" link that was offered, but it does not seem to be working. Does anyone have an updated link to a functional offline installer that I can use to finally download Flash Player for Mac OS X v. 10.9.5?
    I receive an error message stating "Error: Unable to proceed with the installation."
    Many of the photography and game websites I use (almost all, actually) FP, and I would really love to get back to my daily routine soon!
    Best Regards,
    Mel R.

    Hi Mel,
    The correct link is posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page, in the 'Still having problems section'. The download links recently changed and it appears the FAQ was not updated.  I have updated the with the help page URL as it's less likely that this link will change, and if it does, a re-direct to the new location would be implemented.

  • Sending mail to a large group

    I have a large group in my address book and tried to mail a message to the group - it appears to have crashed it. Is there a limit? Is it about my internet connection?

    Your email provider limits the number of email addresses you can send to at once, so it's likely you exceeded that limit, thus causing their server to hang. Check with them to find out that limit, then try reducing the number of recipients your sending to in that group to that number or less.
