Trouble installing Xorg
Hello,
I just installed Archlinux and did the 'pacman -Syy' and 'pacman -Syu' and now trying to install xorg. I ran the 'pacman -S xorg' to install and it tells me to install another whole group of packages, which I accept but then I run into problems with this package:
error: failed retrieving file 'fontcacheproto-0.3.1-1-any.pkg.tar.gz'
Blocking me from the install of xorg... Another thing I'm totally new to Arch!!
Thank you!!
sylvainrb wrote:I tried different mirrors but none of them have the package...
and you always did pacman -Syyu after that? Can you install anything?
The versionnumber 3.1-1 seems to be incorrect. It should be 1.3-1... Have you copied it or rewrote?
But if I understand correctly, atcp some packages are available only at certain time?? btw, even archlinux.org server didn't have the package...
Sometimes, server are not up. (or too old.)
Packages are always available if the server is up (and the repo includes the specific package.)

[SOLVED]Trouble installing xorg + gnome
I'm currently running a core installation of Arch on my virtual box. I have Internet connection and Pacman works. I've installed xorg but when I type startx it brings me to a weird DE thats just 3 terminals. I tried installing gnome but I got a bunch of errors. Then I tried again and I get errors like :: Retrieving packages from core...
error: failed retrieving file 'perl-.12.1-3-1686.pkg.tar.xz' from mirrorls.kernel.org : Connection timed out
etc...
Then it says
warning: failed to retrieve some files from core
error: failed to commit transaction (Not Found)
Errors occured, no packages were upgraded.
It's really weird(and annoying). Can anybody offer some help?

As for the Gnome thing, try again ( pacman -Sy gnome )

Weird. When I type startx is starts some type of DE. Don't know why .xinitrc wouldn't be there.
Once Xorg is installed you can test it by running startx the funny three windows you see is twm
If you wish to install Gnome then use Arch wiki to guide you, add a login manager of your choice
From the looks of your first post you need to make sure mirrors network and pacman are all set up too
MrG
I'm pretty sure mirrors are set up correctly. I commented out the first two(The mirrors.kernel.org). And pacman can get other packages like sudo correctly. -

Trouble installing 2.1.1 for ipod touch generation 1
I am having troubles installing 2.1.1 ipod touch software on a gen. 1 ipod touch. I am using an IMac G5, itunes 8, OS 10.5.4 and the process of updating in itunes has frozen with the blue candy stripe bar spinning as it says "preparing iPod software for restore."
The ipod is black with an white apple and a spinning wheel.
It's been about 5 hours.
What should I do?
Cheers.Just found some info on apple support.
Updating your iPhone and iPod touch to iPhone software 2.0 or later for the first time
Software updates prior to iPhone software 2.0 updated the device without affecting your settings or media content. Updating your iPhone and iPod touch from iPhone software 1.x to 2.0 or later includes a back up, erase, and then restore of your device prior to installing the new update. iTunes will offer to create a one-time media backup of your device depending on what content is on your device and what content is stored in the iTunes Library you are connected to. You should ensure that you have enough free space on your Mac or PC to accommodate a backup that matches the capacity of your iPhone or iPod touch (4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, or 32 GB) if you proceed with the this backup.
As a result of this comprehensive one-time media backup, this process can take some time. The amount of time, is determined by the amount of data on the iPhone or iPod touch.
7 hours and counting. Stay tune. Maybe by tomorrow morning! -
hello
i am having major trouble installing itunes. i had itunes working fine and i went to update it as it told me there was an update which i thought i did. i went on my laptop the next day and it said "itunes was not installed correctly error 7 windows error 998"
i read a few articles on here but i am having no joy. i uninstalled itunes and reinstalled and that did not work. i also unistalled some other apple things cant remember the names sorry!
i am not a whiz on a computer so really need some help please!!Installing, and uninstalling, applications never touches or removes the data.
Clean out and uninstall all the apple programs and software thru Programs and manually.
Might want to use Revo and CCleaner
I always use manual standalone installers (and keep a couple backup versions)
itunes 10.5 may affect iTunes media playlists, not sure, depends on what you have.
A search of these forums will show some threads.
I'd clean up vista, you need SP2 or later, and specific error message?
I wonder as you arenot the first with a dell if maybe the OS or included software.
Security programs like Norton and older versions of Kaspersky have been implicated.
Also settings in IE that affect pop-ups and plug-ins. -
[SOLVED] Trouble Building Xorg-Server 1.6.1-1 (Modified PKGBUILD)
ever since the release of xorg-server 1.5.3, i've been using a modified
PKGBUILD to build xorg-server sans hal and dbus. (not gonna try
justifying it again; that'd just lead to yet another flame war.)
i've never had a problem until the 1.6.1-1 PKGBUILD, which adds the lines:
libtoolize --force || return 1
aclocal || return 1
autoconf || return 1
automake --add-missing || return 1
after applying patches and before running the configure. these added lines produce:
libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in `.'.
libtoolize: linking file `./ltmain.sh'
libtoolize: Consider adding `AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])' to configure.ac and
libtoolize: rerunning libtoolize, to keep the correct libtool macros
in-tree.
libtoolize: Consider adding `-I m4' to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am.

==> ERROR: Build Failed.
Aborting...
my modified PKGBUILD is build. please note that i *have* tried
reverting my changes (the commented patches), to no avail.
as i'm pretty clueless vis-a-vis makefiles and the autoconf system,
could somehow point me in the direction of a fix?
many thanks,

Try the following: On the Windows 7 computer go to the Devices and Printers folder, Add a Printer, Local Printer, Create a new port, Local port, Next, \\xpcomputername\lj3015 (where you put in the actual share name of the computer and printer), OK, Windows Update (and wait for the list to repopulate), HP Laserjet 3015 PCL5, Next, Next.

I'm having trouble instaling a printer driver for my Canon MG5220. I downloaded the latest printer driver from the Canon website (10.67.1.0) and installed it on my Intel iMac. It said the installation was sucessful, but when I try to add a printer, no go. The printer does'nt show up. I'm fairly new to the Mac, after switching from windows. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Hold down the option key and select

Trouble Installing Windows 8.1 on Yosemite
I am having trouble installing Windows 8.1 using the Bootcamp utility on OS X Yosemite. I downloaded the ISO file for 64 bit 8.1 from Microsoft and put it onto an 8gb USB drive using Bootcamp. My Macbook Pro is an early 2011 (MacBookPro8,2) and is currently running OS X 10.10.1. I know that my MBP doesn't usually support booting from a USB, so I modified the info.plist file using the steps outlined in this thread:
Enable Bootcamp to install from usb for OSX 10.9**WORKS**
This got it to give me the option to boot from the USB when I held the option key on startup.
I have tried the following methods for installing with different errors for each:
1. Installing using Bootcamp created partition
For this, I went through the normal steps in bootcamp and when I got to the disk partitioning stage, I tried to format the drive 0 partition 4 using the format button. After formatting, it wouldn't allow me to continue because of this error: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk the selcted disk har an MR partition table. On EFI systems, windows can only be installed to GPT disks." This lead me to this thread: Windows can't be installed on Drive 0 Partition 4.. It mentions a difference between EFI v. preUEFI installations, but I don't know how to do a preUEFI installation. Enlighten me anyone?
2. Creating a "free space" partition with Disk Utility
For this, I created a free space partition in disk utility and used the Window's installer to format the partition. This allows me to get to the very end of installation, but I get the error message: "Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. Installation cannot proceed."
BTW, FileVault is turned off.
Any help would be much appreciated!Hi mgallego,
Which step did the error start to occur ?Have you tried to install it again to have a check ?As the information stated, we can restart the machine to have a check.
Here is a link for reference of the requirements of the Windows 8.1 .
System requirements
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-HK/windows-8/system-requirements
There may be a hardware issue here, it is also recommended to look for help from the manufacturer for help.

I could really use Customer Service help. I received Photoshop Elements as a gift for Christmas...I waiting until i got a new laptop so that I could use that as i was having trouble with older computer. However, I am having trouble installing the software...I swear the dvd added the programs, and I saw them in files explorer i think, but then I cannot find or I was not even able to add the serial number to my knowledge, because it was blank...no keystrokes were shown...and i don't see the program anywhere...Could I have down something wrong and it is somewhere in the cloud?
Thank you. That's what I first thought that I didn't need to do anything
but install from the dvd drive. However after the agreement, it asks me to
sign in at adobe. (Sorry, I'm a little tired of looking at this right
now)...I'll try again tomorrow.
There is no one that I see how to start using the program as I must sign
in. However, I have never been able to get the number to your firm. Or get
the correct number... I think I clicked on a learning tutorial or browsed
Adobe's website to learn more, but got caught up in all the details.
I never uninstalled virus protection to run it because I thought that it
would ask. I'll try again tomorrow I am frustrated. Thank you for your
patience. I appreciate it totally. It's really sad cause I really wanted to
create. I have wanted this for a very long time and I can't believe how
difficult this has been. It would be really nice to know what is really
wrong. I must not be seeing something or I've done something.
