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)
Thanks,
Ethilien

Pacman mirror for India

All the pacman mirrors seems to be slow from my location, chennai in southern India. The only reason I am sticking with ubuntu, is that they have got a mirror 4 kms away from my home in IIT and i get 60K download speed on my 512kbps line. I tried a few of them and none of them includeing the main server give more than 30k. This should'nt be a problem, except that my ISP has a download limit and I can download for free only for 11pm to 9am, which is usually used for downloading other stuff. So how do I find which server will be fastest for me. I tried to ping the servers and compare, but I soon discovered that the ping really does'nt influence download speed. Often a server with higher ping seems to be faster than some with lower ping.

i use the apokryph server from the topic of #archlinux.de which is pretty up to date and i get good speed there aswell (about 650k). the downside is, that it doesn't include the community repo
edit: switched to hosteurope.de too. just as fast, more up to date than apokryph and it has community too /me happy

Aperture: after deleting a project (trash) this reappear opening again the program, how solve it?

Aperture: after deleting a project (trash) this reappear opening again the program, how solve it?

I have the same issue. When I use fotostream, there will be automatically generated projects for each month. So I deleted all fotos inside the project and now I have empty projects. When I delete them (with or without empty trash), they will reappear after opening Aperture again.
If I delete them, close Aperture and start iPhoto with the same library, the projects will not reappear, but after the next start of Aperture, they reappear.
I've tried to put fotos into the project and deleted them with the fotos inside, but this didn't make any difference.

Pacman/mirror errors (solved)

For the last 4 days when I have tried to install anything with pacman (the mirror I use is "unixheads") I get errors saying it failed to retrieve files and no access. Prior to this I had very fast responses.

i fixed it by going into the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist file and scrolling to the very bottom. there's an entry called #setup entry.
change the ftp to http in the unixheads url (and make sure all the other mirrors are still commented) that worked for me
I did as you suggested and then received this error when using pacman.

if you're sure a package manager is not already

Resetting my iPad didn't solve my problem with Bible 1 being kicked out when I tried opening the App. I was told to delete the App and re-install it, but won't that delete EVERYTHING I've done within the App? Like the highlights and the Notes?

The problem I'm having with my Bible +1 App wasn't solved by resetting my iPad. I was told to then delete the App and re-install it, but if I do that, won't that delete EVERYTHING within the App, like all the highlighting and Notes? And I'm sorry to say, I'm extremely technologically inept - only had this iPad since mid-April and the first piece of computer ANYTHING in well over 15 years with my son - and we never had the InterNet. The reason I'm telling this is, I'm not even sure HOW to re-install an App. Sorry.

If the app continually fails to run the delete and renown load might help. But yes, you will lose everything that you have done with the app unless there is some way to back up the info to your computer or another device.
You might also contact the developer of the app to see if they are aware of the problem and are working on fixing it. The developer info can normally be found in the information on the app provided in the App Store.

It looks like one mirror is down. It succeeds on the next mirror. Adjust your mirrorlist.

[Solved] Rankmirrors command does not give the fastest mirrors.

Hello Dear Arch users,
This is not ,actually, a real issue but a simple question.
When I uncomment all mirrors in mirror.pacnew and rank them like with
"rankmirrors -n 12 /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew > /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist"
,and try to do a "pacman -Syy", some mirrors failed to connect or time out, so I comment
them in mirror.pacnew and redo the process.
Would there be a way of having only the faster mirrors that don't time out or failed to connect?
If the answer is "no", I think I can begin coding a script that does exactly like rankmirrors but that has not bad" mirrors.
Thank you for your time and support.

I think the problem can comes from my DNS or from my connection.
In my country the internet is really slow so maybe it is the problem.

Hello WGT52,
It sounds like this error message is preventing you from syncing your content to the iPod. I would recommend the troubleshooting steps in the following article:

In cron.daily, there is a "pkgfile" :
#!/bin/bash
. /etc/pkgtools/pkgfile.conf
if (( $UPDATE_CRON )); then
/usr/bin/pkgfile --update >/dev/null
fi
from package : pkgtools
which seems to be the main suspect.
Thanks fukawi2 to make me figure it out.
