Vagrant - Cannot download arch core packages

Hello,
I am trying to set up an archlinux Vagrant box on my mac and am having some trouble. I cannot any core packages that come directly from an arch mirror. I have tried switching the default kernel server to the uwaterloo one (as I am in waterloo) and I cannot download them from there. I also tried a number of servers and cannot download packages from anywhere. I can however download all non core packages (packages that aren't from one of the core arch package servers). The vagrant file has been made by other people and I have verified that it works on their computers. I can also use wget to resolve the host.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
Edit:
I let the package manager finish trying to download all files from pacman -Syu and it failed every file. It returned the error failed to commit transaction (download library error) at the end
Edit 2:
I have tried a different Vagrant box that has been confirmed working and I still have no access to the packages
Edit 3:
Apparently the subnetwork I was on (School network -> Work subnetwork) blocks the packages? doesn't really make sense since my desktop is on the same network and can download the packages fine. Switched the school network and it works.

To respond to ewaller's suggestions:
Neither Ctrl + Alt + F12 elicits a response, nor Ctrl + Alt + F1-F6.
In my best attempt at trying to provide more information, I've used my android to take a video of the laptop starting up, up to the blank black screen, hopefully it can be of use. On a mildly related note, I think it's weird that I can see myself in the reflection of the screen once it goes black, but I'm trying to fix my laptop here, so bear with me
Video is .3gp format, usual mobile video format, VLC can play it.

If I can get away without having to do a reinstall, then I'd prefer not to, as the installation seemed to go off without a hitch. But if it appears that's what the actual issue is, I can certainly reinstall.
Thanks.

Package Manager - cannot download apps...

Hi all - Having successfully installed 11e and being very happy with the new version, I'm genuinely wondering whether I shall continue to use it. I simply cannot download any apps using Package Manager. I can start PM, access the repository and select the install packages. The download initiates however it simply goes no further, and after 5 mins tells me it has timed out.
Clearly this must be a server side issue and its very, very annoying to have a basic Solaris 11e set up, and not having access to any of my packages like Bluefish, etc. Are any other users experiencing such problems and how can we flag this as a priority with ORACLE?
Thanks all.
UK

hi i also at the first found this problem and tried the following it worked
1- i pressed the install/update command from Packages menu -- gives me your system is up to date..
2- i chosed the packages i want to install it worked fine..
but be patient because the Packages Manager does not show any progress till the package completely downloaded..
hope it will work with you.

Download Arch Packages without Pacman

I have dial up Internet so downloading Arch packages through Pacman is not realistic. I would like to download the .pkg.tar.gz files from another computer (that has cable) and then install them locally with Pacman on this computer. I know how to accomplish all of this except the initial download of the packages on the other computer. I will not be able to use Arch on the other computer so is there any way for me to download packages from within Windows? I can find the packages I need by searching for them from here: http://www.archlinux.org/packages ,but the only links that are given from each package are to other websites that do not contain Arch binaries. Is there any way to download Arch packages outside of Arch and without Pacman?
Thank you very much

pacman get them from the mirrors, so you can do the same.
But you'll have to do the dependencies resolving yourself instead of letting pacman doing it. So good luck with that.
Edit : hell, I'm tired, what I said previously was crazy..
Just do this on your arch box :
pacman -Sp <package>
Then transfer that output to the box with internet, download all the packages, and transfer them back.

Debtap - A script to convert .deb packages to Arch Linux packages

I wrote this script in my free time to help people who, for any reason, want to convert a .deb to an Arch Linux package. It works in a similar way with alien (which converts .deb packages to .rpm packages and vice versa), but, unlike alien, it is focused on accuracy of conversion, trying to translate Debian/Ubuntu packages names to the correct Arch Linux packages names and store them in the dependencies fields of the .PKGINFO metadata in the final package. In other words, it won't only create an Arch package with the data of the original .deb package, but also it will try to create a valid and as accurate as possible .PKGINFO metadata file in the converted package. It uses pkgfile and pacman utilities to achieve this accuracy. The final package can be installed like any local Arch Linux package. Debtap is now available on AUR!
FAQ
Q: What "debtap" stands for?
A: DEB To Arch (Linux) Package
Q: Isn't better to download an official package or write a PKGBUILD in case I need to compile a package or convert a .deb package to an Arch Linux package?
A: Sure it is, and I truely encourage you to do so. Debtap was written to create packages that either cannot be compiled (closed source packages) or cannot be built from AUR for various reasons (error during compiling or unavailable files), as a quick 'n' dirty solution and an extra option for creating Arch Linux packages for Arch Linux users.
Q: So debtap will help me only in case I need to convert specific .deb packages to Arch Linux packages?
A: No. In case you need to write a new PKGBUILD for a package that already exists in the Debian/Ubuntu distributions, by converting its .deb package to Arch package with debtap, thanks to the packages names translator function inside the script, it can help you determine which dependencies are needed for the package you write the PKGBUILD for and complete the necessary fields.
Q: What are the minimum requirements to run this script?
A: You need to have installed these dependencies: bash, binutils (provides ar utility for extracting .deb package), pkgfile, and fakeroot. You must run at least once (preferably recently) "debtap -u" to create/update pkgfile and debtap database (you do this with root privileges).
Q: Debtap needs a lot of time to convert a package. So, why this is happening?
A: Like I said, debtap is focused on accuracy. It won't just unpack a .deb package and then repackage its data to an Arch Linux package, ignoring metadata. Depending on the speed of your processor and the package itself, conversion can take from a few seconds to several minutes.
Q: During conversion I get several warning messages, why?
A: Debtap cannot be 100% accurate for several reasons, the main reason for this is the complexity of packages names. If you want to check the freshly generated .PKGINFO and .INSTALL (this is optional file) metadata files or even fix the untranslated packages names inside .PKGINFO, debtap offers you the option to edit these files before compressing the final package.
Q: How do I use debtap?
A: The syntax is quite simple actually: debtap [option] package_filename
For example: debtap world-of-goo-demo_1.0_i386.deb
Any recommendations or questions for debtap are welcomed!

Arch Core Image

I have a computer that has Internet, BUT inorder to get the drivers in I need to have already installed the OS. My question is, "Where are the Archlinux DVD(or CD) ISOs locaed if they exist?"

However, for people in my situation, this isn't the case.
I require the usb_modeswitch w/ wvdial method as a result of having a 3G USB modem. Before, this method was a royal pain to setup and now it is excruciatingly worse. As a result of having no internet connection by default, this new net-only install forces me to have an already downloaded list of packages (of which I'm currently unaware what it needs) for the base group. Those packages now need to be copied over to the pacman cache, which then and only then pacstrap can install base.
In addition, the usb_modeswitch and wvdial method requires a restart so the kernel can recognize the USB modem.
The usb_modeswitch and wvdial method does not requires a restart after configuring modem & wvdial.
I use 3g usb modem to coonect internet in both the systems (base- core instaled & netinstalled system).
configuring the modem & wvdial takes approx 5 minutes for first time connection.
and After full system-updates, Arch connects usb-modem automatically.
My Steps:-1) install necessary packages offline (2) configure modem-id & wvdial (3) connect with wvdial (no need to restart).
Installing the necessary [core] packages offline for a net-only install (the Arch install no longer provides core as of the recent media release) requires an updated list of base packages which is subject to change each time pacman -Syu is ran. pacman -Syu can't be ran until there's a modem connection present. You can always run pacman -U for each package required by base, but that still requires downloading the updated packages on another system whereby the modem is recognized.
Additionally, the 3G modem I'm using requires the method listed at the link: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=130414

Clients cannot download updates from DP

Dear Friends,
I need your help,
After I configured everything and I am ready to patch my first cycle I have problem with my clients.
I download all the updates and create my deployment package. I sent it to the DP.
The clients cannot download the updates from their DP. I checked the boundary and everything is ok.
I noticed that all pcs have the following error in the FSPstatemessage.log.
Failed in WinHttpSendRequest API, ErrorCode = 0x2ee7 FSPStateMessage 4/5/2015 1:53:36 AM 4844 (0x12EC)

Successfully sent location services HTTP failure message.
Does the error above have to do with the client when tries to download the updates from the dp ?
How to solve the problem above ?
I forgot to mention that I have only one Site.
Please help
Nikkoscy

The client falls in a boundary that is assigned to a boundary group which gives access to the DP with the content and the deployment package is distributed on the server.
Please see below the ContentTransferManager.log, CAS.log, LocationServices.log .
any idea what is wrong ?
I can resolve the FQDN of the DP from the client. The DP is the server of the branch where the client locates.

I have paid for it and all...

You can't do anything. See:

Your computer does not meet the requirements to run Mountain Lion.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

(If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

IBooks books "Cannot Download" because "there is not enough available storage to download _______."

Before I begin, here are the details of my particular iPad:
Build Version: 10B329
iOS 6.1.3
16 BG iPad 2 (although it says that the capacity is 13.84 GB)
It has never been damaged nor has it experienced any water damage. It runs very well.
My issue: I am trying to download the ibook entitled Algebra 1 (Common Core Edition by Pearson) from the iBook Store. The ibook itself is only 2.46 GB large. After purchasing and upon downloading, however, I run into an issue. The book cover is placed on my iBooks bookshelf with the "New" ribbon on the upper-right. It then begins to download and, shortly after, I receive the following error message:
Cannot Download
There is not enough available storage to download "Algebra 1". You can manage your storage in Settings.
- Cancel
- Settings
Having had issues with iBooks in the past, I thought this was just another glitch. But, in order to rule out any uncertainty, I checked my storage capacity anyways. On my first download, I am positive I had enough space on my iPad (although I can't remember how much). I had recently freed up my iPad by deleting videos and other apps. After doing all of that, I tapped the cover of the ibook again to initiate the downloading process. With more room, I was certain it would work, but then I received the same error message.
After that, I attempted to redownload the ibook after having tried each of the following techniques:
- Turned off my iPad completely with iBooks still installed
- Turned off my iPad completely with iBooks uninstalled, and then reinstalled it after turning the iPad back on
- Deleting the ibook from iBooks, delete the iBooks app, completely turning off the iPad, and then redownloading everything after turning the iPad back on
- Delete other ibooks
- Transferring all of my bought ibooks to my iTunes on my computer (this technique actually worked for another on of my ibooks, but not for this one...)
- Sign out of my iTunes & App Stores account and then signing back in
- Turning ON the "Books" Automatic Downloads option
The only thing I think I haven't done is restore my iPad... Which I really do not want to do. Having to redownload all of those apps is a painstakingly long process...
Even now I have enough space to download it and it still gives me the same error message. My currect space specs are below:
Storage
4.8 GB Available     9.1 GB Used     (Most of this is from iBooks as you can see)
iBooks               5.7 GB
Japanese          221 MB
Facebook          114 MB
Penultimate       102 MB
etc......
iCloud
Total Storage     5.0 GB
Available           5.0 GB
etc......
I have deleted numerous apps and media on my iPad to make more room. I have read on other Apple Support threads that iDevices need space in order to move files around and such. I think 4.8 GB should be enough for this! Especially for an ibook that's only 2.46 GB large!!! This is really frustrating and I really need this ibook!!!! If someone could give me some other tips and tricks, that would be great. I really don't want to have to restore my iPad though... If it comes down to that, I guess I have no choice.
Another detail I left out is a popup window that comes up just before the error message that reads:
Downloading Item
When this item is finished downloading, it will be available in your library.
- OK
I'm not sure it's related to the issue, but I decided to put it out there anyway so that this problem can be as detailed as possible.
Thanks for all of the support!

I have the same problem. I got an error when downloading an iBook to my iPad, and now it shows up as "gray" in my book list. I'm running iOS 7.1.1 with iBooks version 3.2.
Actually, you don't have the same problem at all. The OP had excessive "Other" taking up space, leaving no space to download additional books.
You seem to be having a problem with a specific file. If I were you, I'd start my own thread with a subject line that describes your issue. You're going to get better answers that way than by piggybacking on an old thread.
Yes, you should still be able to load iBooks by syncing with iTunes. There may be a problem with the file itself. Are you able to add other books? If so, contact the iTunes Store to see if they can help you with this particular book.
Best of luck.

Cannot download Acrobat Reader 9 to my new ASUS computer with Windows 7

I replaced my old "slave" XP system computer with a new ASUS Windows 7 computer. I connect the slave computer (Windows 7 OS) wirelessly through a Linksys router.with my "home" computer (XP OS) and the internet. I get the following error message when I try to install Adobe Reader: "error 1606: could not access network location %APPDATA%\. I cannot download through either Firefox or through Windows Explorer.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== When I changed from my old XP OS "slave" computer with a new ASUS with Windows 7 OS. I also had to buy a new Linksys wireless adaptor.

No. As a matter of fact, I tried to install it using Internet Explorer 64 bit. It also would not install Acrobat 9.3My PC is an ASUS E5400, Pentium Dual-core, 2.7 GHz each, with 6.oo GB RAM and 64 bit OS.
I spent a couple of hours on-line with a Linksys troubleshooter to see if the problem was with my Linksys router or adaptor. Neither of them appear to be the problem.
I always get this error message: "error 1606 - could not access network location, %APPDATA%\"
Any suggestions?

Flash Installer cannot download. "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed."

Flash Installer cannot download. Finally get the message, "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed." I already uninstalled the old copy, now I have no Flash Player.

My issue was identical.... days of frustrating downloads and initializing but no installation........ UNTIL I chose to not use the default installer and chose 'Save File'. Now I have the latest Flash installed in OS 10.8.5 no problems !!
This time a long download of 16MB arrived in the downloads folder that actually worked.
Prior to this, all downloads were around 1.6MB and there was no .dmg in the package.
I got my download under where it says "Still having problems?"
Hope this helps you.
