Instead of continuing to thread jack Eric's post I figured I would start another one.I followed Josh's guidance in regards to clearing cache and changing the archlinuxfr to x86 with no love on either one. Here is what the out put was from trying to update.

Two things, Ian...1) need the output of:

pacman -Sy --debug

and 2) are you using a proxy?

[archlinuxfr] linux.frServer = http://repo.archlinux.fr/x86#Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/yaourt-enMight be worth putting the red line above the blue line. I think some .conf files need empty space at the end. :whistling:

Well I generated a new mirrorlist from the Arch mirror generator. That did not go so well

[root@ichase ichase]# pacman -Syyerror: The mirror 'http://archlinux.supsec.org/$repo/os/$arch' contains the $arch variable, but no Architecture is defined.error: The mirror 'http://archlinux.supsec.org/$repo/os/$arch' contains the $arch variable, but no Architecture is defined.error: The mirror 'http://archlinux.supsec.org/$repo/os/$arch' contains the $arch variable, but no Architecture is defined.:: Synchronizing package databases...error: failed to update core (no servers configured for repository)error: failed to update extra (no servers configured for repository)error: failed to update community (no servers configured for repository)error: failed retrieving file 'archlinuxfr.db.tar.gz' from repo.archlinux.fr : Not Founderror: failed to update archlinuxfr (Not Found)error: failed to synchronize any databases[root@ichase ichase]#

Ian, Use this as your pacman.conf:

Don't make any changes, just copy this over to your current pacman.conf and mirrorlist. Run -Syu and post the results and errors, if any, here. Thanks. :)Also note: I had to add a red * to the w*get in line 19 of the pacman.conf to get the board software to allow me to post this. Just remove the * when you copy it over.

Sorry for the delay, I did not find no so call wonderful life I assure you. :hysterical: I like that Eric, that was awesome.Copied over your pacman.conf file but did not pay attention to the fact that when I copied over your miirorlist, the URLs were scrambled until I tried to run updates. So, this is what I did. I went back to the Arch mirrorlist generator and instead of choosing only HTML mirrors, I selected All mirrors. Uncommented out the HTML mirrors under the United States and ran rank mirrors.Worked like a champ. Updates went well and did not have an issue with the [archlinuxfr] either.Thanks for your help and guidance. :)All the best and hope everyone is having a great start to their weekend. :thumbsup:Ian

Scrambled? Hmmm... that's strange. My mirrorlist above looks OK to me. Well, anyway... the important thing is that you got it going. YAY! :thumbsup:

Eric, to look at it yes it looks fine. But when you cut and paste, the URLs are not pasted complete. Think it has more to do with the coding within the web site.Ian

Oh! Yes, I see what you mean. The board software automatically truncates them.
If I am not mistaken, using the code brackets instead of the quote ones, it will show the entire url of a link.

Any one else having issues with corrupted files? Got Arch up and running on my build computer this weekend. Updated pacman, cleared cache, updated mirrorlist with most up to date mirrorlist from the Arch generator, ran rankmirrors etc. Attempted to get K3B from the repos but there was a corrupted file that botched the install. Can't remember the file name off the top of my head. Also noticed that there were a number of packages that were not found on some of the latest mirrors. They eventually went down the list until they were found on another.Just wondering if anyone else was noticing anything. Hope everyone had a great weekend!!!!All the best,Ian

Thanks for the tip barbarian. ;) Actually last night I was able to install it with no problem what so ever. Even got FF, T-bird and a number of other applications installed. Not sure what happened the other day. Maybe sunspots. B) Only issue I have is with menumaker. It won't run now due to something about /usr/lib/evn /usr/lib/python2 directory not found. Something along those lines, I am paraphrasing. It's Arch's way of saying "STOP BEING LAZY AND EDIT MENU.XML BY HAND YOU JACKWAGON!!!!!!!" :hysterical:Arch is probably right. ;)All the best,Ian

Great application. I have used it for about a year without any issues. Also, btw it does more than just simple burning.
I should have said "with basic multi functions"
Xfburn is a simple CD/DVD burning tool based on libburnia libraries. It can blank CD/DVD(-RW)s, burn and create iso images, audio CDs, as well as burn personal compositions of data to either CD or DVD. It Is stable, and under ongoing development.The current version is 0.4.2, released on 2009-07-23. This release fixes a number of smaller bugs.
