Pacman, reflector & mirror list question (seems SOLVED from responses)

When i update mirrors from the home page.. all the mirrors are commented out.. I save it as mirrorlist
then run the reflector command..
does it ONLY rank the number of mirrors i ask for in the United States.. or mirrors right down the list that ive copied and pasted in mirror list??
the reason I ask.. cause i opened up the mirrorlist that got ranked by reflector and 2 of them are from Brazil... and not even in the US list..
should I just copy the US mirrors, then run reflector??
am i doing something wrong??
i dont want to get strange, incompatable packages... I hope I'm asking this correctly..
and when i used to update pacman -Syyu.. it happened in seconds..now it takes almost a min (not that this is alot of time, but its slower then it ever was) and it's only updating via 5 mirrors from the reflector command..
so should i only copy the US mirrors into mirrorlist then run reflector or copy entire mirror list then run reflector..
whats the best way?
dont want to screw up my system
thanks

I'm not sure if the app / service is working OK atm. I'd say it's not your fault.
> dont want to screw up my system
I don't thnk you can crash&burn it this way. It's just a list of mirrors.

  • Couldn't pacman distribute mirror lists?

    couldn't pacman distribute mirror lists during updating?
    - first step: fetch new mirror list.
    - second step: update now.
    Furthermore, if pacman.conf could include an option the way like:
    REGION=EUROPE
    pacman could prefer to adress mirrors in europe.
    Just an idea.

  • Stupid me deleted the pacman mirrors... [SOLVED]

    I know this sounds incredibly stupid, but I did. I tried sorting the mirror list and now I can't seem to download certain packages from extra, and I'd like to go back to the original mirror list. I just can't seem to figure out which package the mirror list is contained in.
    If someone can just point me in the right direction, that would be great
    At least I managed to resist the urge to try uninstalling pacman and reinstalling it
    (no, I'm really not an idiot, I just do really stupid things some times)

  • [SOLVED] Update Mirror List

    Hi all
    I was reading a post earlier and it mentioned updating the mirror list at http://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/. I generated the list okay, but can someone enlighten me as to what to do with it please?
    Thanks

    You could eat it...
    Seriously, copy that newly generated list to either a temp text file or directly into the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist file itself.  This also assumes you'll delete the current contents of the mirrorlist file before pasting your new list into it.
    After that, just do your pacman -Syu to get the new packages.

  • Populating fields, drop down lists, etc... from external data

    Hi,
    I am trying to evolve my forms, and am interested in learning how to connect my forms to external data sources.  I assume using server solutions would work, but are complex and costly.  They are also likely beyond my scope of understanding.  What are the best practices for doing this?  Can it be done with a text file or spreadsheet?  I am really looking for a better way to create custom data in forms than to go into the script and change them manually.  Price is a good example.  I have some forms that generate a very basic quote for services.  When the price of part x changes I need to going into the from chance the script for those items, re-save it and hope I have not missed any items.  Evey time his happens it is a hassle.  Not to mention if more than one user needs it I have to make sure they are all using the right version (to be clear I am less worried about this part as it seems a complex task).
    Is there a better way of doing this?  What are the best practices for this?  What external sources can be used to hold the data.  I would be interested in any tutorials that may exist on the subject as well.
    Thanks in advance for any/all help. 
    Tom
    P.S. it is amazing what LCD can do, and that I really enjoy working in it, although I have little background in scripting.  Great product and resource!

    Thanks Paul,
    I have been able to solve the drop down list question, thanks to your help.
    I have another question that involves locking specific fields in a four page form which contains approximately 100 fields that need to be locked before the end user completes the remaining fields. How do I lock individual subforms so that the remaining fields remain open and editable?  The final version of the form, will have at least 200 fields in it that will also need to be locked in sections.
    I can lock all the fields using the lock all fields button, but have been unable to make it work for just part of the form.
    I've emailed the draft form.  It would be really helpful if I had one example of a locked subform on the form I'm struggling with.
    Thanks for your help.

  • HT203167 list of my purchase from iTunes

    Can i get a list of my purchase from the I tune store? I have several apple devices that I buy music on and a single list would help me keep track of my music library. There seems to be music missing in my library or maybe it's on another device.

    This should be of some help.
    http://ipod.about.com/od/itunesproblems/qt/Fixing-The-Itunes-Exclamation-Point.h tm
    It is an iPod article but it applies to iTunes
    This is an excerpt from the article. But read it. It is not that long.
    If the exclamation point has appeared for many of your songs, finding each one may take more time than you want to spend. In this case, the problem can often be solved by organizing/consolidating your iTunes library (which word is used depends on your version of iTunes).
    To do this, go to the File menu, choose Library, and then choose Organize (or consolidate) Library. In most cases, if the song is still on your hard drive, this can fix the problem.

  • Java List question

    Dear all,
    My development tool is JDev. 10.1.3.
    I've a session bean which the list contains several fields. The list defined like this:
    List<cell> List1 = new ArrayList(); cell in a cell.java.
    I created List2, List<cell> List2 = new ArrayList(); which the list contents are copied from List1.
    On the jspx, List1 is on the left hand side, it rendered out as a table, user can select the row and click the button "Add item to List2". On the right hand side, List2 allows user input information. User can choose List1 item to List2 repeatly.
    The question is, e.g. List1 and List2 contain A and B items initially. User inputted information in List2 for A item. And then, choose A item from List1 to List2 again. The new selected item carried the information that user input in List2 before.... I don't know why?
    Then, I modified the List2 like this: List<dupcell> List2 = new ArrayList(); and hope the information will not be carried.
    However, it doesn't work..
    Can anyone help me? Please.
    Thanks for any suggeston!
    Regards.

    Sorry, my English is not good...
    my situation like this:
    "List1" defined in a session bean, "shoppingCart.java", like this:
    List<cell> List1 = new ArrayList();
    In the cell.java code, like this:
    public class cell {
    private String id;
    private String type;
    private Number quantity;
    private String remarks;
    public cell() {}
    public cell(Number id) {
    this.Id = id;
    /** defined getter and setter **/
    In a JSF page1, user selected the id and id will be stored in the session bean. e.g. user selected id "A" and "B".
    Then, user click a button and go to JSF page2.
    This button call a function, the List1 copy to List2, like this:
    public String copy_to_new(){
    List2.addAll(Utils.getShoppingCart().getList1());
    return "page2"; //go to JSF page2
    Two lists were created.
    List1 - user select item, move the item to List2.
    List2 - user input the information: type, quantity and remarks. e.g. user inputted information for id "A": type = "small", quantity = 1, remarks = "urgent".
    Now, user click id "A" from List1 to List2.
    On List2, it shows:
    Id Type Quantity Remarks
    A small 1 urgent
    B
    A small 1 urgent <-- new selected row (I don't want this)
    Question: How can I create a new row that it does not carry the previous information, like this:
    Id Type Quantity Remarks
    A small 1 urgent
    B
    A <-- new selected row
    Thank you very much for any helps!!

  • ADF SelectOneChoice List Question

    I posted the following message in the Toplink forum and they have suggested I try over here:
    Toplink Essentials List Question
    ==================
    I am new to Toplink Essentials. I am using Toplink Essentials inside of JDeveloper 11g, against Oracle Express and ADF/Trinidad and have used JDeveloper's "Entities from Tables" wizard to reverse engineer my database into Toplink pojo objects. After this I used JDeveloper's wizard to create a JavaServiceFacade and then generate a Data Control.
    After expanding the DataControl (which is mapped to the JavaServiceFacade) I have a method queryEntityFindAll(). Under this method I have serval attributes and then a list which represents a "many-side" of this entitie's relationship with another entity. How do I create a selectOneChoice using this list?
    I've tried expanding queryEntityFindAll() and then dragging the list to a jspx page, setting the Base Data Source to "JavaServiceFacade.queryEntityFindAll.listName and then setting the List Data Source to "ListName : JavaServiceFacade.queryRelatedEntityFindAll". However, when I run the page the only thing that appears on the page is the selectOneChoice label... no drop down component appears on the page... no errors are generated to give any clue as to what my problem may be...
    Although I'm working in JDeveloper, I really believe this is a Toplink Essentials question...
    Please help!

    Thanks for the quick response!
    Using the department / employee example... I'm trying to create a form that allows a user to create a new department. I have dragged the "Department" object (located under queryDepartmentFindAll()) over to my jspx form. A form with corresponding fields is created.
    I notice that no field was created for employeeId. I expand the "Department" object (again, under queryDepartmentFindAll()) and observe that "Employee" is present, as a list (expanding Employee provides access to employee object attributes along with another list entitled departmentList).
    I know that it's unlikely that only one employee would be selected in the creation of a department... but I'm sticking to the example...
    So, I drag the "Employee" (again, under queryDepartmentFindAll()) object over to the newly created form and from the pop-up menu I choose selectOneChoice as the desired component. I run the jspx page, Internet Explorer 7 browser pops up and all labels display on the page, all fields but no selectOneChoice component appears on the screen... the space is there for it but it appears to be invisible. I have checked the Employee table and there is data to be displayed... it's just that I must be missing something...

  • Paleolithic question : I went from Photoshop Elements 1 to 12 !

    Hello,
    I went from Photoshop Elements 1 with a MacOS 9 Imac to Photoshop Elements 12 with a Macbook under Maveriks.
    Some images made with Photoshop Elements 1 does not open in Photoshop Elements 12. images taken one month apart there several years may or may not open.
    In "Get Info" from the Macbook, the system nevertheless recognizes these images as type "Adobe Photoshop Elements file". 
    But in the "More info" Macbook, those which open in Photoshop Elements 12 displayed: Dimensions: 591x886 / Space color: RGB / Alpha Channel: No / Opening: yesterday. 
    Those that do not open with Photoshop Elements 12 displayed nothing (only the opening time).
    How to open these photos which are nevertheless in .psd format ? 
    Thank you in advance for any information,
    Michel

    1) In the Finder Get Info dialog under General, is there a size listed
    for the images that won't open in pse 12?
    Yes, I have a size listed for the images that won't open in pse 12,
    about 2,5 Mo, below info "Type" : Adobe Photoshop Elements file.
    2) Did you recently copy the images from os 9 or were they stored on an
    cd/dvd or external drive?
    I transferred all my documents to an external disk "Aluslim 2.5",
    FireWire 400 and USB 2.0, format : "Mac OS Extended"
    On the external drive Aluslim (where I kept the photos of trasfert) I
    find the same corrupt files: In "Get Info" from the Macbook, the system
    recognizes all images as "Adobe Photoshop Elements file". But in the
    "More info" Macbook, those that open in PSE12 displayed: Dimensions:
    591x886 / Space color: RGB / Alpha Channel: No / Opening: yesterday.
    Those that do not open with PSE12 display nothing (only opening time)

  • Simple Spark Dropdown List Question

    Hello,
    In my interface, I have a drop down list. When the user changes the value, I'm trying to throw up an alert window ( 'are you sure...') because the change has a ripple effect. Everything works fine except when the user makes their selection from the Alert window, the dropdown list stays open. I've tried the 'closeDropDown' method, but that doesn't seem to work. I thought it might be because of the Alert control, but I'm not sure.
    Any help or a nudge in the right direction to where I can find an answer would be appreciated.

    First, thanks for responding.
    I was throwing up the alert window on the 'change' (and also unsuccessfully the 'changing') event of the drop down list. After reading your response, I tried throwing it up on the 'close' event of the dropdown list, which worked.

  • Backed up using i-cloud now can not restore because security questions are different from apple account?

    i just purchased a new i-touch for my son becasue he smashed th old one. I purchased it at the apple store and the tech told me to back info up utilizing i-cloud. I did that inside the store. I am trying to set the i-touch up using the i-cloud backup but when i get to the security question part, the questions are different from my apple account. I then get an error message saying server error. I called apple and they did not seem to be much help.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Contact Apple through iTunes Store Support, and explain that you have forgotten your 3 security questions, that you can reset your password, but doing so doesn't reset your security questions.
    Explain that after resetting your password, you are still asked for the answers you have forgotten, before you can gain access to My Apple ID > Manage your account > Password & security, which is where you need to be to change your answers.
    Remember, support will receive hundreds, if not thousands of requests per day, some from people trying it on, others with little explanation and others that are written extremely poorly. Take the time to explain your situation properly, be precise and concise, brief but comprehensive.

  • Create a list with associated workflow from a list template.

    Hi,
    I have a calendar list with two workflows and I saved it as list template. Also I have an event receiver which creates a list based in this list template I created, but I noticed that the list is created without workflows. If I create the list
    using the list template using SharePoint it does it with the workflows but my event receiver does not.
    Here is my code:
    if
    (list == null){
    web.AllowUnsafeUpdates =
    true;
    var lstTemp = web.Site.GetCustomListTemplates(web);
    var template = lstTemp[listTemplate];
    var listId = web.Lists.Add(listName,
    string.Empty, template);
    list = web.Lists[listId];
    list.Title = listName;
    list.OnQuickLaunch =
    false;
    list.Update();
    web.AllowUnsafeUpdates =
    false;
    Thanks anyway.

    Hi,
    According to my understanding, you have a list template contains workflow, you can create a new list with this template from UI. However, when create a list with this
    template in Event Receiver, the workflow is missing.
    I tried to reproduce by creating a list template contains an OOTB Approval workflow, then use an Event Receiver to create a list with this template, it turned out
    that the workflow is attached to the newly created list.
    I would suggest that you create another Event Receiver with the code snippet below to see if it is an issue of Event Receiver:
    public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
    base.ItemAdded(properties);
    createListWithTemplateWithWF(properties);
    public static void createListWithTemplateWithWF(SPItemEventProperties properties)
    using (SPSite site = properties.Site)
    using (SPWeb web = site.RootWeb)
    SPListTemplateCollection listTemplates = site.GetCustomListTemplates(web);
    SPListTemplate listTemplate = listTemplates["ListTemplate_List001_withWF"];
    web.Lists.Add("List005", "List005", listTemplate);
    Feel free to reply with the test result or if there any questions about this.

  • How do i get a list of SQL Servers from network?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to get a list of SQL Servers from the network and put them into a drop-down combo box. I try to search on Google and i can only find some C# source codes which doesn't help me at all. I'm wondering if JAVA has the similar method to do so.
    btw, I'm using MSSQL Server 2005, JDBC 1.2, JDK 1.6.0_24

    There is a "protocol" which describes how to find MS SQL Servers. You don't make it up yourself. You find the description, read what it says and implement it.Or more likely (like Oracle) there's no such security problem in MS SQL Server and instead it relies on the client knowing the connection details or it'll never find them.
