[arch-ports] [x86_64] prefer ftp-install to avoid glibc upgrade issues
FTP install is now possible from all mirrors again and should be the prefered way to install a fresh Arch64 from now on to not go in trouble with the glibc update.
Also our current repo is fresh as the 32bit one again :)

Updating extra packages and a new ISO will be the next steps.

Now that the ftp install works, here is a brief review of problems I've noticed and their possible solutions :
_*First*_ : Xorg ... pacman -S xorg xorg-fonts-75dpi xorg-fonts-100dpi is better done than on arch32 there is less pkg missing anyway it still lacks : xterm xf86-input-mouse and xf86-input-keyboard ( I wish to have a working computer with no mouse / keyboard :| )
_Second_ : nvidia: pacman -S nvidia nvidia: not found in sync db hum ...
wget ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/extra/os/x86_64/nvidia-1.0.8178-16.1.pkg.tar.gz' then 'pacman -A nvidia-1.0.8178-16.1.pkg.tar.gz
That will do the trick except that after you have to live with :
/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 is empty, not checked.
/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libnvidia-cfg.so.1 is empty, not checked.
/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA.so.1.0.8178 is empty, not checked.
/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.1 is empty, not checked.
/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1 is empty, not checked.
/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libnvidia-cfg.so is empty, not checked.
/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.8178 is empty, not checked.
/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.8178 is empty, not checked.
/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libnvidia-cfg.so.1.0.8178 is empty, not checked.
/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libGL.so is empty, not checked.
/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 is empty, not checked.
/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1.0.8178 is empty, not checked.
In EACH pacman command : / It's also weird that the official pkg ( http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/1.0-8762/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64...) don't work at all, you can "modprobe nvidia" but then X xomplain that it can't loads the nvidia module ...
_*Third*_ : the WM/DM ( hopefully I use fluxbox ... )
pacman -S kde
:: group kde:
arts gwenview kde-common kdeaccessibility kdeaddons kdeadmin kdeartwork kdebase
kdebindings kdeedu kdegames kdegraphics kdelibs kdemultimedia kdenetwork kdepim kdesdk
kdetoys kdeutils
Install whole content? [Y/n]
error: cannot resolve dependencies for "kdepim":
"pilot-link" is not in the package set
pacman -S gnome
:: group gnome:
gnome-icon-theme control-center epiphany gnome-applets gnome-backgrounds gnome-common
gnome-desktop gnome-media gnome-mime-data gnome-panel gnome-session gnome-themes
gnome2-user-docs metacity nautilus vte yelp

pacman -S xfce4

xfce-mcs-plugins xfce-utils xfce4-appfinder xfce4-icon-theme xfce4-iconbox xfce4-mixer
xfce4-panel xfce4-session xfce4-systray xfce4-toys xfce4-trigger-launcher xfdesktop xffm
xfprint xfwm4 xfwm4-themes
Install whole content? [Y/n]
error: cannot resolve dependencies for "xfce4-toys":
"fortune-mod" is not in the package set
_Fourth_ : other programms :
pacman -Ss openoffice
community/openoffice-pl 2.0.2-1
OpenOffice polish language files
ntp misses a dependancies maybe because it should be installed : libelf
Point third and fourth (and nvidia driver install) are easely correctable => the extra db is just wrecked
I think those "major" issues should be corrected
Thanks

Nobody ever declared the extra repo from archlinux.org ready for use!
[root@workstation64 andyrtr]# pacman -Qf nvidia nvidia 1.0.8762-1.1
works very well :)
Sit back and wait until extra repo is back up to date again. I'm doing updates and a new ISO in a parallel way. It will take a while.
Everybody should still use arch64.org until you know what you do and how to solve or live with broken libs.

lol, so if I read well your previous message FTP install works now ? but from what ftp ... no way to connect to ftp://arch64.org :( but on ftp.archlinux.org yes So we need to have current on ftp.archlinux.org and extra on arch64.org ?
Also you said all is up to date ... ok yes but on ftp.archlinux.org for current
That's what I thought we have to use archlinux.org now
