Fedora :: Install A Native Version Of Spotify On F15 64 Bit
Sep 7, 2011
im trying to install a native version of spotify. Trying to use wine a little as possible. For now i only want to use utorrent with wine, cant live without it im having a hard time to install spotify on my system, i looked hard everywhere for a .rpm version to install. But couldnt find one. I googled and found out that im not alone with this problem, a lot of people talked about a program called "alien" that can convert the .deb version for debian and ubuntu. Tried to install that one but without success. I tried with theese two:
I'm struggling to get the native Spotify on Ubuntu 10.10 working. I haven't tried it on any other version so I'm not sure if it's exclusive to 10.10.
Basically, the application loads fine, until I hover over to the left-hand side bar (playlists etc), at which point it crashes and *poof* instantly closes down.
Basically as it says in the title. The second to last update about 6 or 7 weeks ago broke Spotify native. I get the following error message in the terminal:
I recently bought a monthful of Spotify Premium to enjoy music at the school with my laptop and Nokia E71 with the offline mode - the WiFi at our school is too laggy to stream online music. Under wine, it works quite fine, however, I would totally like to use the native client (yes, I'm too a "yay linux" person like all of you here ), but the music quality is very poor on offline mode. It clips, goes forward, a second back, then back forward etc. The bitrate sounds to be high, an the quality is very good except the annoying clipping.
Anyone else experiencing this? I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 Beta release with Samsung N510 so the cpu power should not be an issue even though the native client uses the resources very greedily. Interesting enough, on my desktop computer (Core2Quad @ 3,3GHz, 4GB 900MHz DDR2 RAM) with the same OS version and software plays offline playlists smoothly (only some occasional clipping)
Given that Nokia have bought Trolltech, albeit quite a while ago now, I still can't see any native QT version of Nokia's software suite for their phones. Are there any plans in the coming year for a Linux version of Nokia's PC Suite software?
I didn't delete my old extension and recently mounted it so I could retrieve the data. I was wondering if there was any way I could make it the extension to my current native without deleting any of the data? Or if attaching it as an extension was at all possible at this point.
I hate OSX. I have however gotten very used to the multitouch trackpad on my aluminum MacbookPro. So, I would like to blow away OSX and install Ubuntu native. I was wondering if I will loose multitouch capability if I do this though. Mainly 2 finger tap for right click, and two finger scroll. My MacbookPro is rev 5,2.Are there any other issues I should think about before taking the plunge?
I installed Koala 9.10 with Wubi, and have liked it enough to give it a "native" installation on a partition. I've been looking around at forums, and it seems the most attractive way, with LVPM, hasn't been tested officially with 9.10, and I can't find a post of anyone that has.
So, my question is, does anyone know the best way to upgrade my install to its own partition? My drive currently has 2 primary partitions (main Windows Vista OS, and a recovery) and one extended with a logical drive. I don't know whether to try the LVPM method, or try to just uninstall Wubi and install 9.10 after from the Live CD. But, the reason I went the Wubi route in the first place was the install/Live CD would hang when I got to the screen with the options to check the install disk (I had previously checked the hash, and it was fine), proceed without changing disk, etc. I think that is a problem with the install getting confused with my multiple drives/card readers, and not being able to find the correct one. Wubi had a similar problem giving me something like "please insert disk into drive X:", and I would have to just click over and over, each time X changing from one drive letter/number to the next, until the install just continued when it found the right drive.
I believe printers and printing are 2 most retarded things on this planet, completely useless and unnecessary.I haven't had one and never needed one, until now, as in my little retarded country bureaucratic and accounting reasons forced me to buy one, as I have my own company (and I really really hated to do it, but...) Whatever, I got Samsung SCX-4623F (and I will hate myself till end of my life to buy such retarded device), and now I can't seem to figure out how to get it started in Fedora 14. I dont need scanner, just printer. Naturally, there are no native drivers for linux, and I have cups installed and Printing tool in System->Administration doesnt do anything.
When a new version of open box comes out. If compile a newer version of open box will it install over the current version or will it install a separate version?
I have a fedora 11 with kernel package: kernel-PAE-2.6.29.6-217.2.3.fc11.i686
I would like to install the devel package for this kernel version, but I can't find it, because in the fedora repo there is only the original kernel (2.6.29.4....) and in the updates repo there is only the newest kernel package (2.6.30....)
Where can I find the packages which are between the fedora and update repos' versions?
So I want to install the original version of Fedora 15 and make it dual boot with my Windows 7. Problem here is that I don't have a cd/rom. and the iso file didn't have a .exe thingy.....
so now what? Also this is my partitions> http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/9853/unledtlh.jpg
I have seemed to work out all bugs in pulseaudio except 1. When pulseaudio wakes up it stutters for a few seconds and then plays fine. I ran pulseaudio -vvv in the terminal and found that it was an underrun and got this message.
Code:
protocol-native.c: Requesting rewind due to end of underrun.
To connect server use mstsc.exe in windows, rdesktop in linux - if you do not have it yum install rdesktop. But if you use different from english localasation of fedora, you will see only english Gnome and instead of your local fonts in terminal
[code]...
Now you can use fedora RDP session with your native language.
Finally, my mobile broadband is native to Fedora. Just finished clean install of FC11 and it found the device, started it, and it works, just like it did in WIndows. ZeroConfig FTW! Great job Fedora team on this. FC10 it didn't work at all and FC6, 7, and 8 it took a lot of tinkering to make it fully functional.Also, NM is working MUCH better now with static IPs over the previous FC10 version. Set it up first run and had no issues with running my laptop on the network.
I am driving Fedora 12 and need to test an application GUI with Python 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6. Python2.6 is native in F12 at /usr/lib... and I have alt-installed 2.4 and 2.5 at /usr/local/lib... Site-packages directories for 2.4 and 2.5 are empty. I have tried different tricks to install gtk-2.0 and pygtk in the site-packages of 2.4 and 2.5. But could not find a working solution.
My latest trial was to download Fedora 7 live and copy from its python2.5 gtk-2.0 and pygtk.* to F12:/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages. Results were as follows:
Python 2.5.5 (r255:77872, May 13 2010, 17:15:51) [GCC 4.4.3 20100127 (Red Hat 4.4.3-4)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import pygtk >>> import gtk Traceback (most recent call last):
I can get sound in wine but when I'm trying to run spotify via wine I get "There is a problem with your sound card" error, anyone know how to fix this? I'm running fedora 10 64bit

I did a "yum install thunderbird" to get the thunderbird emal program. I got a beta version: thunderbird 3 beta 4.Is Fedora so bleeding edge that this should have happened? I have not changed the repositories that the installation of FC11 uses.(I haven't used 3 beta 4 enough to have any complaints about how it works.)
The newest version of wine 32-bit (1.1.32?) seems to be a disaster. I had Newsbin Pro working great in Fedora 10. Now this program won't run with wine.i686 on Fedora 12 x64.
I have tried Crossover Linux 8 standard and Newsbin Pro works with that. Crossover is using wine 1.1.18. However that will cost me $40.
How do I install an older version of wine with the dependencies in Fedora 12 x64? I searched for an rpm and found various flavors of wine rpms. Can I just install that older rpm?
I have done some searching around and now know that the 64 bit version of Wine is useless. I tried to install the 32 bit version and apparently succeeded. The problem is that when I open Wine File the .wine-x86_64 folder reappears. I don't even know where the 32 bit folder is.
I have tried Code: yum erase *wine* but it does not seem to work. However this does.
Manual from Fedora says that I cannot Install Fedora 14 x64 bit version from USB. Why? Can't I use utillities like FlashBoot? or another tool to make bootable USB?
