I wanted to download chromium-pepperflash (using usm)
But "usm -u all" didn't come to the end:
starting salix database update
downloading checksums.md5 -->
And then:
Eternal waiting, no more reaction!
And now?
What's in such a case to do?
Is there any other way to download chromium-pepperflash?
Thanks for the help
Note: I tried it several times!

Re: salix database update failed
The usm update (salix) issue is known -- choose a different mirror

Re: salix database update failed
Hello,
I have worked around the salix update hang by updating the other databases individually. All the others work but you have to exit and re-enter usm for each one separately. The usm gui makes this easy to do, although tedious.

This USM option is easier sci_fi. viewtopic.php?f=125&t=6759&p=54673&hili ... are#p54673
Then to concentrate on the failing database use the suggestion donald posted.

Re: salix database update failed
^ Not sure what this has to do with the subject posted but the options mentioned above should work for your problem also.

Thanks for the help.
But another problem!!
In terminal:
Mousepad /etc/usm/mirrors-salix.txt
Error
bash: Mousepad: command not found
How can that be? Mousepad exist (Menu All)

Re: salix database update failed
pFilesearch results:
/home/guest/.config/Mousepad
and
/usr/bin/mousepad
That's confusing: Mousepad and mousepad
Problem solved
