Has anyone found an rpm of awn 0.4 beta or even a deb? (32-bit) Is there any way of taking files from repositories (deb files to be specific) so that I can simply convert them to rpm files using alien?
View 8 RepliesWe got a big Tripp-Lite SmartOnline UPS in a while ago. Turns out the official Linux support for it is only in Fedora and OpenSUSE. I tried converting the .rpm packages of their management software and ran into the following problems:
Code:
error: cannot open Packages database in /home/jamie/.rpmdb
Tried creating the folder and got:
Code:
error: cannot open Packages database in /home/jamie/.rpmdb
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - No such file or directory (2)
So no go. It's 64-bit Ubuntu 10.10 and the RPMs are 32-bit. (And I have no idea if the PowerAlert tools will run sans GUI on the servers it will be powering anyway.) Anyone know what's wrong with Alien? I downloaded it from apt and as far as I can tell all the dependencies are in place. Anyone have experience getting PowerAlert to run on Ubuntu? I called their tech support and got the company line, no help there.
I will try nut next, but I'm pesimistic - it had driver issues with the smaller Cyberpower UPSes that the workstations are running on (but Cyberpower at least has working .deb binaries!).
i'm try to convert a deb package to rpm and i'm getting this output:
Code:
sudo alien -r -k -c

Having downloaded alien for the first time, and attempted to use it to convert an rpm file to a deb file (specifically asymptote located at [URL]), instead I found that it failed to do so. I've searched on google for a long while, and found that while this appears to be a problem encountered by multiple people, but there are no workarounds posted anywhere. Here is the error message that I am getting:
Unpacking of 'asymptote-1.92-1.fc12.i686.rpm' failed at /usr/share/perl5/Alien/Package/Rpm.pm line 153.
I've tried running the following variants of commands and all fail with the same error:
sudo alien --to-deb --scripts --keep-version asymptote-1.92-1.fc12.i686.rpm
sudo alien -d asymptote-1.92-1.fc12.i686.rpm
sudo alien -k asymptote-1.92-1.fc12.i686.rpm
The errors reported by others are on a variety of packages, so it seems to me that it is an bug with alien itself and not with the package, but that is only a guess.
And related to this, Alien is version 8.69, perl 5.8.8 and ubuntu is 8.04.
I have Ubuntu 9.04 and just installed Sound Converter. I am trying to convert a bunch of .ogg files to mp3 to play on my iPod and it's not working so well. In the Sound Converter options I have is set to convert to high quality mp3. I choose the folder that the files are in and after a moment (slow laptop) Sound Converter populates, I hit 'convert' and it shows that the conversion completes in two seconds. All that it did was create the new folder structure of artist/album but there is nothing in there. Not sure what I am missing. I used Sound Converter before and it worked fine.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a script to convert some files, this works fine. My current script is: for i in *.vob; do ffmpeg2theora -v5 -a1 $i -o `basename $i .vob`.ogv; done; The files all have the name Episode-####.vob (replaces #'s with numbers.)
Instead of going from Episode-0001.vob to the end, how do I get it to go from a random file i.e. Episode-0025.vob ?
I have a lot of .flac files downloaded from several sites. Most of them come with a .cue file, and the .jpg with the cover, etc. It seems it is the intention of the uploader that one rebuilds the original CDDA. However, if I had a stand-alone CD/DVD player with flac I would hardly see the point of converting the flac to cdda. Furthermore, I could even play the flacs with a software player although, in this case, the audio quality would not be so good due to the noise picked up by the signal from the PC digital circuits.

How do you convert Open Office (ODT) documents to Text files?
I have made a report using libre office. Now I wish to continue editing the document using lyx (latex front end). So the ODT file needs to be saved as some .tex file.

When I tried to convert I had to make a copy of the original file. But I have many files in (sub)folders.

This looks too difficult.ther way how to do it, something intelligent and simple
