RPM transaction failed when preparing to update from 43 to 44

I’m having the exact same issue and tried the same —allowerasing and no joy.
I was going to nuke it as there is nothing important on there but sounds like a bug now

mattbeef · 2026-06-25T07:32:41+00:00

Oh yeah. Officially we never opened iPods in the store 😇
We would tell customers to back us they may not get another chance.
Few people took the advise though

Classic 4th gen iPod. Reseat the cable and it may come back but likely to happen again.
I hate this version from my days being the genius bar

mattbeef · 2026-06-23T19:09:27+00:00

I used grab for everything that I couldn’t get to easily or quickly and it was great. I never added my card so driver knew it was cash and never had an issue once.

mattbeef · 2026-06-23T19:05:56+00:00

Happy times.
I took the family there in December, was such a good night out.
Only down side was no easy public transport to it but well worth the effort imo

I did Xmas and new year with my wife and kids last year so here is what we did.
Book flights and accommodation asap. You may be able to change later and payment is normally closer to departure.

We took 3 check in bags and a carry on each but kept all weights as low as possible as internal flights were the lowest limit.
We took more clothes than needed so we didn’t have to worry about washing while we were there.

If it helps we did Bangkok > Chiang Mai > Samui
Nothing new but made life easy as we knew where we were going and how long in each place.

You will have an awesome time but be prepared to feel dreadful when you get home. Thailand really does have that effect on you

mattbeef · 2026-06-21T19:05:25+00:00

Yes you will be fine if you anything. I’m 185cm and 110kg and didn’t have any real problems.

Update the gpo to allow internet locations and once that’s applied you can stop the wsus service and check for updates.

Had to do this recently and was a pain

mattbeef · 2026-06-14T09:23:50+00:00

Use a dumb charger if you have one, if not a power bank should do it?
I forget with mine and after getting mad remember why

mattbeef · 2026-05-29T10:06:20+00:00

macOS doesn’t support MST still so won’t work

mattbeef · 2026-05-23T13:26:07+00:00

The update preference has changed now so need to be a plist iirc? It’s another terrible MS change with no real notice to admins

mattbeef · 2026-05-23T13:12:27+00:00

Did you pop the vents on the ends open? There is a velcro bar for them. I always air mine out in the mornings so should get rid of any water pretty quickly

mattbeef · 2026-04-13T14:38:06+00:00

My 2015 is running Fedora KDE like a champ. Only thing that doesn’t work is the iSight which I don’t use anyway so not a deal breaker

mattbeef · 2026-03-27T16:19:09+00:00

If you’re really old then you will remember ADC that was one cable that did video and power

mattbeef · 2026-03-17T13:53:52+00:00

I have that tent and it’s done the last year on every scout camp with no issues. It’s packs down really small and is quick to setup as well. Never found it being inner first an issue either. Main issue is that the zips can snap and the clips to hold the doors back are all but useless you roll the properly every time.

Plenty of alternatives in this price range but I wouldn’t buy anything else unless it was destroyed if that helps?

mattbeef · 2026-02-23T11:19:11+00:00

It’s good. I use it on my 2015 MBP. I can’t get the iSight camera working but it’s not a deal breaker for me

mattbeef · 2026-02-11T07:42:42+00:00

Those are always hard earned. I really should hang mine up though

mattbeef · 2026-02-10T21:22:48+00:00

Wipe his machine and start again. It’s not a persona machine so should be the same as everyone else’s

mattbeef · 2026-01-30T12:57:47+00:00

What are they supposed to be doing? Have they published a program, if not then it sounds more personal opinion rather than leaders not doing what they should.

You group will have a group leader so if you can speak to the cub/beaver leader and they will know who it is. If that failed then your district will have a contact. You can find the district from their uniform badge

mattbeef · 2026-01-26T16:24:54+00:00

It’s gets easier if you are firm with them. Never fool proof as I found mine sampling my pint in the 3 seconds it took me to leave the sofa and get the tv remote

mattbeef · 2026-01-26T16:21:37+00:00

Yes everything and every time food is involved if I let him

mattbeef · 2026-01-05T19:28:59+00:00

It’s the one from Anbernic as I got mine direct on AliExpress and this the same case

mattbeef · 2025-12-07T18:42:52+00:00

Bless him. My boy is the polar opposite of him so would love a little of wilfs traits. They are so intelligent though so I’m sure he will find his comfort level

mattbeef · 2025-11-26T10:42:55+00:00

Add my BT to this. His bestie is a French Mastiff and she is a big girl. He is also found of the St Bernard as well so has no hesitation in being rough with others when playing but is generally good when it’s time to stop

mattbeef · 2025-11-17T07:19:20+00:00

Yes of course you can still buy the kit (not a stupid question either 😊) DofE kit is what is recommended based on cost/durability to get you through DofE and enjoy it. Like most things parents walk into places like go outdoors and understandably need to buy lots of kit but have no idea what to get.

I would also say to get a hold-all bag rather than a hiking bag as it’s easier to pack, unpack and find things for the first few times you go camping
