Question Towards the News and Installation Media

Hello
Ok basically. Back a phew months ago an install was quite simple with arch. get past ncurses, setup the user etc. reboot into CLI, pacman -Syu everything went fine and automatic. install the DE, setup the graphical drivers. reboot and your in
But since the filesystem upgrade, and initscript updates. installation has become a pain, especially for newcomers to arch to find the solutions with deleting the locale file and updating the filesystem
So basically im just wondering if arch is planning to release new installation media, personally i doubt they will. its not really there fault the changes came along, but it would be nice if the arch installation didnt need the interventions especially for newcomers. either way im not bothered. arch still works great for me, im wondering if ill need to download new media at some point
Second Question is
Whats homer 0.1 within the news announcements, im a little confused by that and curious of the history of it

If you have trouble with the current "stable" installer, why don't you have a look at the releng images?

  • Two questions about the new iWeb

    Hi
    I've got two questions about the new iWeb.
    1. Is it possible to blog online now? Meaning adding a new blog entry without having to be on your own Mac? This is a feature I've been waiting for since iWeb first was released.
    2. Is it possible to choose the format of images? Earlier editions had the option to "optimize" images but that meant it changed it into .png meaning the site got a lot heavier than if .jpg was used. And since I have relatives who still only have an isdn connection I need to be able to have the website as light as possible.
    thanks

    Ah well... thanks for the quick answer

  • Need to create, build, or obtain the Windows 7 INSTALLATION media, not the recovery stuff

    I want to be able to install Windows 7 on a Thinkpad WITHOUT all the factory installed stuff.  I DO NOT NEED the recovery image "solution" that comes preinstalled on the laptop.  I need to be able to create a clean Windows 7 installtion that we can image and deploy without the preloaded stuff.
    Basically, is there a way, and if so, how do I create a Windows 7 INSTALLATION  media, not the recovery stuff? If this can't be done, do I need to purchase the media from Lenovo?  An example of what I'm looking for:  Dell makes it very easy to do this. You can create the Windows 7 installation media. Just like the Windows XP and 2000 CD/DVD's they used to ship.
    I have searched and can't find anything the addresses this.
    Solved!

    I'm taking a guess that you're looking for a vanilla Win 7 installer download.  As sarbin said, if that's not your issue, please start another thread.  (At least this will update that stale link - for a while.)
    The content in that link got pulled a while back.
    Here's a fresher link that still works (for how long, who knows...)  Even includes SP1.
    Default Legal Download: Windows 7 with SP1, 13 languages
    These are Microsoft installer DVD ISOs that still require activation.  If you choose one that matches the COA on the target machine (home premium, pro, ultimate), they can be activated with that COA.  it will require phone activation.

  • Question about the new Yoga 10 HD+

    Hi
    A few questions about the new Yoga 10 HD+ which I hope you can answer.
    I bought the old model last year. Loved the design and long battery time but a few major issues made me return it.
    Somewhere I read that it can't read NTFS over USB so I presume that's the same with an NTFS formatted microSD card?
    Can it read exFAT formatted microSD cards?
    Anyone observed issues regarding audio over bluetooth?
    (I know BT isn't exactly High End HiFi but the old Yoga 10 for some odd reason - most likely a driver issue which nobody cared to fix - sounded *much* worse with quite noticeably distortion while both my phone and a cheap noname tablet I have zero fidelity issues - no matter which of my bluetooth audio devices I tried aptX or not)
    So to avoid buying this only to return it too I really would like to see if I can have my questions answered before buying it.
    While I love the form factor and long running time the above issues are just two mayor dealbreakers to me. Bad audio quality = no joy listening to spotify, local MP3s etc. No NTFS or exFAT = no large movies.
    My old noname android tablet really could use an upgrade so I'm really curious whether this can be it or I should look at the competition and sacrify form factor and battery runtime.
    Thanks in advance.
    EDIT:
    If it's not supporting either NTFS or exFAT on the microSD have anyone tried ext3 and/or ext4?
    I mean with Androids Linux roots it should be a nobrainer to support at least when it comes to royalties unlike NTFS or exFAT where there *might* be some issues with Microsoft.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks!
    OK. Seems I should just stay clear of this and look elsewhere
    Sony for sure I know support exFAT. I'm usure about Samsung. Odd it seems so hard to find out. File sizes of +4 GB should be taken for granted - it's not 199x anymore...
    Oh well. Wonder whether to just go for one from the competition or perhaps just save the money and wait until 64 bit catches on. Rumors is that the next Nexus 8 will be 64 bit... (I really don't expect an answer on this)

  • HT5655 The new Flash installer from Adobe still isn't working, right?

    The new Flash installer from Adobe still isn't working, right? We get the "installation failed" messages, and we're awaiting Adobe's follow-up on it?

    Adobe Acrobat 8 has two problems on my iMac. The lesser problem comes when I go into the Print command and click "Preview." I get a message that says that Preview isn't supported.
    Preview is not supported because building a preview of a print job under OS X involves creating a .PDF file. You already have a .PDF file open if you're using Acrobat, so there's no point creating a new one.
    The greater problem just cropped up as I was writing about my problems with Quicktime and Real Player: Acrobat tried to update itself and then gave me a message that says, "Cannot overwrite file /Users/(myname)/Documents/Update5/AdobeUpdater/acrobat8pro-en_US/AUMProduct.dmg .
    That's not a problem with Acrobat. The system is saying that you have a file named AUMProduct.dmg in place already, and you don't have permission to update it. You need to change the permissions on that file so that you can update it, or to use an account which has update permission. Or it might just be locked and you need to unlock it. Locate it using the Finder (you have the complete path to the file listed above) and see what permissions are on the file and whether or not it is locked.
    You might also just put the entire Update5 folder into the Trash and try updating again.
    The file maybe be locked or you may not have sufficient access rights. Please make sure you have write access to this file." Can anyone help? Thanks.

  • B1 Upgrade failed to launch the new version installation

    Hi all
    I encoutered the following problem when upgrading SAP B1 V8.81 SP0 PL5 to PL6. The Upgrade test showed no errors and the upgrade on the server finished properly. But then i started the client and got the message "The system cannot find the file specified. The B1 upgrade failed to launch the new version installation."
    It is not possible to deinstall the SAP Client because there is no such point under control panel > software! Does anyone know this behaviour? When i try to start the client from the b1_shr folder the message appears that there is already another version installed.
    Could it be a problem upgrading from PL5 to PL6 because they are both upgrade packages and not patchlevel updates?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi
    I do not understand this sentence:
    >> When i try to start the client from the b1_shr folder the message appears that there is already another version installed.
    You have to run the SAP B1 client in the server to start the upgrade.
    Did you open SAP B1 client in server machine? Did SAP show you message to upgrade?
    All the best.

  • Question about the new iMac

    Please Note: I am extremely sorry if this is placed in the wrong location. It says to post here if it doesn't fit the other categories.
    Now I asked before about the Mac Mini, the features and etc... Well since I saw the August keynote and the new iMovie you guys presented, it made me want to start making the Mac as my new computer. The thing is, I am short on cash and have a few question between the First and Second versions.
    1. My new computer will probably have to last 5-7 years, and I need to know, will the cheapest iMac be able to actually go that far? I mean I have read how some mac's that were purchased about that time still run perfectly good today.
    2. Since Leopard will have bootcamp fully integrated and Windows can run at native speed, Will games like WoW (of course this is only an example, I know they have a mac version) run really good on it?
    3. Say I buy my Mac in a retailer such as Best Buy, how will I go about a Hard Drive upgrade? I saw you can upgrade the memory, but they mentioned nothing as to a Hard Drive upgrade.
    4. If I want to actually customize my mac (because if theres no way to upgrade in question 3...) can I do it by going to a Apple Store or do I have to order online?
    5. Would 1 GB of ram be good or will I have to upgrade later to 2 GB to run good?
    6. So in the longer run, would buying the 2.4 GHz Mac be better for a 5-7 year term or will the 2.0 GHz version do just as fine. (Please keep in mind that cash is hard to get... It might be until March until I purchase... This will give me an idea.)
    I just want to make a good decision when buying a Mac and get rid of this trouble maker I have now.. Of course going with a Mac is already a good decision.
    Thanks and waits for reply.

    Hello darkpontiac
    My you have lots of questions, so I'll cover as many as I can.
    This is as good a place as any to ask about the iMac's.
    Look at this link and you will see the you can have an iMac and make payments.
    "The Apple Store"
    1. I would buy the best from the upper end and Apple Care to get the longest life from it.
    2. I don't run WoW, but others have reported that it runs fine even on the Early Core Duo Intel iMac's.
    3. You can order a larger HD from Apple, look dow at "Configure-to-order options" in this link.
    Intel iMac Spec's
    4. Yes see #3 then up grade the ram yourself up to 4GB on the new models.
    5. 2 GB of ram is great for most users, the current is shipped with 1GB and you can upgrade in steps of 2, 3 and 4 GB later if you wish.
    6. Yes
    Sorry it took me so long to respond, but I'm printing out some vacation photo's from iPhoto for the wife, jumping to e-mail back and forth with daughter, downloading some new CD's I just bought and replying to your post all at the same time on this 20 month old Early Core Duo with 2GB of ram. It's not having any trouble at all playing my loud classic rock with iTunes, but I'm working like h...!
    Hope that Helps!

  • Questions about the new versin of OWB

    I apologize if the question was asked already, but I have not been able to find a good way to search this forum.
    1. Will the new, upcoming, version of OWB support the new ETL features of Oracle 9i (e.g., external tables, pipelined functions, UPSERT, INSERT to two tables)?
    2. Will the licensing model include an OEM model (e.g., if my company wants to bundle OWB as part of our own software product)?
    Thanks for the help.
    Ara

    I think there are too many acronyms :-) By OEM, I meant "Original Equipment Manufacturer", not "Oracle Enterprise Manager". What we would like to do, basically, is bundle OWB as part of our own software product, maybe even provide our own GUIs that call the OWB API-s internally.
    In the past, Oracle considered OWB to be a developer-only tool (just like JDeveloper). With the new and expanded APIs, however, I wonder if Oracle has changed its position on this.
    Regards,

    If I choose "restore from iTunes backup" to move everything from old iphone to a new one, will I still be able to use the old phone for music and apps?  Can the old phone be docked up to that same computer every now and then?  Or will the new and old phone overwrite each other in some way?  In other words, are the two phones treated as different devices when the "restore" option is used to set up the new phone?   Thanks in advance.

    Yes, you can use the old iPhone as an iPod touch.

    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • Question regarding the "mcxquery" and "dscl -mcxread" commands:

    Question regarding the mcxquery and dscl -mcxread commands:
    Does anyone know why the mcxquery and the dscl . -mcxread commands don't show any info about MCX managed login items & printers? The System Profiler's "Managed Client" section does. Id like to see info regarding managed printers and managed login items using the mcx tools. I have Mac users running 10.5.2 with both login items and printers that are pushed out to them via MCX. The System Profiler app shows all of their policies, but the dscl . -mcxread and mcxquery tools dont. Why not?

    How do you "call procedures/functions" without sql code? You need at least the call statement like
    {call myProc(?,?,?)}that you wrap into a CallableStatement.
    Other than that: when you switch off autocommit, you need to call commit/rollback at the end. Usually, if you don't commit/rollback a non-autocommitted connection, the transaction get's committed/rollbacked when you close the connection - that depends on the JDBC driver. But it's never a good idea to ommit the commit/rollback calls on a non-autocommit connection. Usually you enclose your code in a try/catch block like this:
    con.setAutocommit(false);
    try {
       con.commit();
    } catch (Exception e) {
       con.rollback();
    } finally {
        con.setAutocommit(true); //or:
        con.close();
    }
