(SOLVED)Problems during installation, can not refresh package database

I have been using Arch for a year (dual boot) but for some reasons I had to do a reinstall. It worked fine, but I did some things wrong and I had too reinstall (again, befor even entering the system).  This time (and all the other times i've tried today) I can not complete the "select packages" step, it either freezes at "Refreshing package database" or gives me a message that it just can not be done (sorry, I do not have the exact words atm). I have internet and I've been trying a million different mirrors (including the one I used when it worked). What to do, what to do?
Worth noting is that I had the same problems a year a go, but it solved it self, no idea what I did then.
I would really appreciate if some one knew what was going on - it is driving me crazy beyond comprehension!
EDIT: maby this should have been pasted in the installation section?

I am sorry, it is during the installation and no command is in use (correct me if I'm wrong) - the tty7 is just reading "Synchronizing package database", the last times i've tried it didbn't 't continue for hours, other times it gives me an error message (which I haven't written down, sadly). I'm trying again atm.
EDIT: The error message I get is just
"error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mirror.optus.net
             //                                           mirrors.kernel.org : Connection timed out

    I am experiencing problem (the installation does not start) when I try to install ArchiCAD 17 Educational on my mac. I am using Yosemite. How can I fix it?

    You need to contact the developer/manufacturer directly to determine if their product is compatible w/Yosemite.  It is not listed on their system requirement website:
    Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks
    Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
    Mac OS X 10.7 Lion
    Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard*
    Note: ArchiCAD 17 is the last version of ArchiCAD to support Mac OS X 10.6
    Only case insensitive file-system volumes are supported.

    Thank you very much
    Zhang Ming-an

    When you are manually refreshing the snapshot as scott/tiger, and your database link was defined with a 'connect to/identified by ' clause, your login credentials will be scott/tiger. When the refresh happens from the job queue, it does not use those credentials, It uses some default set. What you should probably do is:
    1. create public database link Oracle using 'server1';
    2. as scott/tiger, create database link Oracle connect to scott identified by tiger;
    3. your automatic refresh should work now.

    OK, that is almost the latest version... .65 is later.
    You can upgrade your AppWorld from using your BlackBerry browser to go to www.blackberry.com/appworld
    After you upgrade, Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
    IF then you don't see or can't find the AppWorld icon, please post back here.

  • Can not refresh page after save properly(When not saving master record)

    I am using jdeveloper 11g R2 (11.1.2.3) JSF Facelet
    In some use case I have Address as master table and Person as detail table
    For some business reason I need to don't save same addresses
    eg:
    If +1 Test St+ is in database already and new user coming and adding this address with new person
    I need to use the row in database not creating a new address
    I do saving in doDML method of Address with some hashing algorithm and it is fine
    My problem is that I can not refresh page after save properly
    User coming to page think Adding a new address and a new person but in fact no new
    address added because of business I describe above
    Any ideas how I can implement this?
    Appreciate that
    Regards
    Mohsen

    Hi,
    from your description it is not clear why the page doesn't refresh. It could be a problem in your implementation code - who knows. What if you perform the address check on a command button that actually submits the new address? If the check returns true (address exists) you would call row.refresh(forget new row); and re-query the view object so the address coming from the database is displayed. If you wanted to use the doDML then yuou need to be aware that doDML doesn't help removing the row the user created. It just ignores the database update but the entity is still around, which in my suggested solution wont be the case.

    You need to download and install all requirements as selected by Solution Manager for EHP4, WEBCUIF is a required component. Do not delete any entries in the xml file.

  • Installer Can Not Write Register(s)

    iTunes in the LAST TWO upgrades (7.1 and now 7.1.1) can not (install correctly) write register errors (hello, I am admin - I should be able to do anything).
    This is getting so **** old it is not longer even a funny joke like why did the chicken cross the road.
    Installer can not FIX it's own errors. Error when trying to remove QuickTime... OMG - I am in the Wintel World and Apple is the problem.
    So why is the installer unable to install it's own software without errors and screwing up the registry ? Any fix ?
    (please note - tired of running regedit to get rid of all the junk the installer can't do or fix)
    G5 dp 2 ghz, G4s & iMacs + Windows XP Pro

    can not (install correctly) write register errors
    what's the precise text of the key that the error message is mentioning? (there's a couple of different sets of issues that can hit folks specific to two different sets of keys.)

  • Can not extend Package ZBI7

    Hi all,
    I created a package ZBI 7 as Main Package and application component as BW in SE80.
    I created a view in R/3 system.But while assiging this view to the the package ZBI7, it says "Can not extend Package ZBI7".
    Any idea on resolving  this problem

    Hi Ram,
    Could you check the attributes of the Package in SE80?  - Right Click>>Display.
    'Allowed object types' should have No restrictions.
    'Package not extendable' should NOT be checked.
    Assign a standard Transport Layer.
