Slackware :: Install Kde 4.5 From Alien's?

Aug 16, 2010

I am using current and want to install kde 4.5 from alien's, here is my problem. I don't understand the statement below. Below are the steps you take to install or upgrade to KDE 4.5.0. First, change your current directory to where you found this README. From within this directory, you run the following commands as root.

On Slackware 32-bit:

# upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86/deps/*.t?z
# upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86/kde/*.t?z

There is 1 dependent needed and it is installed but I can't figure out how to go any further. Do I need to add him to my mirror list or what?

Slackware :: Wine Install Fails At Line 291 - Alien Bob's SlackBuild Script

Jan 30, 2010

Using slack 13.0 32-bit.

I'm using [url] with one modification only:

The version number at $SRCVER was changed to 1.1.37

The script has failed with the following error message:

The code at that line is

I also have noted the following (in part) outputs previous to the error

It appears to me that a successful build may have been made at /tmp/build/package-wine/usr But the install has failed.

Slackware :: Alien's Vlc, -current And SBo's Libva?

Oct 27, 2010

I want to let vlc take use of my Intel HD's H264 hardware decoder. I installed libva with the SlackBuild from SBo. But Alien said libva should match the version vlc built with. So I decided rebuild vlc with new libva.So I changed the LIBVA to 0.31.1-1+sds4 and added --enable-i965-driver to libva's configure. Building was fine but when I opened a flash video(h264) it said that I don't have h264 plugin and refused to continue. After I changed the version number back, vlc can play h264 again.As a compromise, I comment out make_libva in the building phase. All things went well then. It won't consume too much CPU even when play large h264 So what is wrong with new libva? I noticed vlc 1.1.4 was released, but I think Alien is more qualified to bump the version. So I didn't change that.

Slackware :: Alien Bob's VLC Slackbuild Fails On Current / Fix It?

Jan 11, 2010

The error has to do with Twolame failing to compile. Which is strange to me because it compiled fine by itself with the slackbuilds build.

Slackware :: Recommendations - BIG Changes In Current And Alien Bob's 4.4 Packages?

Mar 1, 2010

Best way to go about upgrading current with Eric's 4.4 packages installed. It looks like some of the changes in current are newer versions than what I'm running with the 4.4. packages installed so I'm not real sure of the best path to follow . Would it be better to just blacklist the 4.4. packages and proceed with the upgrade or does somebody else have a better idea?

Slackware :: Tovid And Dependency (x264) - Will It Conflict Alien Bob's VLC?

Jun 10, 2010

I'm trying the DVD authoring stuff on Slackware, so okay I have downloaded Tovid along with its dozens of dependencies that has their own dependencies and so on...Now, one of the dependency is x264 (for encoding H264/AVC video streams). I already have alien bob's VLC from the uk site (restricted packages) and I've read on his blog (if I'm not mistaken) that it has the H264 capability (don't know how to describe it ).Is there any chance that it will conflict with this x264 library?

Slackware :: Command To Create Local Mirror Of Alien Bob's Kde4.4.0 Packages?

Feb 10, 2010

I know there has to be an easier way to do this than to download each file individually. On an ftp site I would just use
PHP Code...

But with those files being on an HTTP server and wget not supporting HTTP file globbing I'm at a loss.

What is a one step method to recursively download all files in a directory on an HTTP server?

Slackware :: KDE 4.6.0 (from Alien Bob's Ktown Repo), Battery Monitor No Longer Works?

Feb 22, 2011

I am running Slackware64 -current. I just upgraded KDE to 4.6.0 from Alien Bob's ktown repo, and upon doing so my battery monitor no longer functions properly. More specifically, the icon will appear in the panel, but when I choose the option to show the charge/discharge state it does not show. The icon only ever shows that the battery is not plugged in to an external power source (showing a plug and a red x). It is important that I get the battery monitor functional once again as I am running my new Slackware64 -current install on a laptop and don't like to be left wondering when my laptop's battery will die and if I need to plug it in.

Ubuntu :: 32 Bit Rpm On 64 Bit With Alien?

Aug 5, 2010

I got a new computer at work this week. I'm determined to get switched to 64 bit this time around, but what held me up last time was getting my email client to work.

We use Novell Groupwise 7, which is available as a 32bit rpm. alien installed it fine in 32 bit Ubuntu, but when I try the same in 64-bit I get this error:

Code:
dpkg-gencontrol: error: current host architecture 'amd64' does not appear in package's architecture list (i386)

How do I get this installed?

Ubuntu :: Alien Fails On Conversion Of Rpm Files?

Apr 16, 2010

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.

Ubuntu :: No Sound In Alien Arena - 9.10 > 10.04 Upgrade

May 9, 2010

Alien Arena is seriously awesome in the latest incarnation. Unfortunately sound was disabled after the upgrade. Running from terminal provides the following information:

------- sound initialization -------
dlopen() on libopenal.so.1 failed
Sound failed: Unable to start OpenAL.
Game will continue without sound.

That error message is actually quite good - the first line is the technical problem, the second is what it means, and the last is the result of the problem. Errors involving a "lib" usually mean the lib is not installed (or broken). OpenAL is a sophisticated free software audio API. Using this system is A Good Thing. A quick check in synaptic shows that the libraries are not installed.

Ubuntu :: Tripp-lite PowerAlert RPM - Can't Convert With Alien?

Apr 14, 2011

We 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!).

Ubuntu :: Alien Converting RPM With %defattr In Spec And Maintaining Permissions?

Nov 10, 2010

Just joined the group to post this question as I can't find a good answer for it.I have an RPM that has the following in the spec:

%defattr(-,someuser,someuser)
/opt/myapplication

When I go to install the RPM, the file permissions for everything in /opt/myapplication are set to root:root. This RPM installs properly in RPM based distros and maintains the correct permissions.

When I run alien -i --scripts --veryverbose myapplication.rpm as root, I can see it chmod'ing everything to 755. Has anyone else had this problem? I tried --fixperms as well and that did nothing.

Ubuntu :: Alien Arena 2006 Gold Edition Will Not Work

Jun 29, 2011

Back in 2007 I got a cover CD off a Linux mag, which included a game called Alien Arena 2006 Gold Edition for Linux. It was a nice game (1st person shoot-'em-up like Quake and Doom) and I'd like to play it again. Unfortunately I lost the CD. Alien Arena is in Synaptic. But when I install it, I can't get it to work. The mouse pointer will not work in the game menu window, arrow keys don't work... I get some music, but that's about it. I figure maybe it won't work because the new, improved Alien Arena won't play nice with my computer (Intel Pentium 4 CPU 1.70 GHz, the very same computer I used in 2007, but now with added RAM - 1GB instead of 256MB) so I ooked for the 2006 gold edition I knew and loved before.

A little googling turned up the original game - alienarena-2006ge-x86.run. But when I try to run it, I get a little window saying:
Alien Arena 2006: Gold Edition for Linux
Verifying archive integrity... All good
Uncompressing Alien Arena 2600: Gold Edition for Linux
/home/t0p/.setup20181: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0; cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Press Return to close this window#

I've tried to find this libgtk-1.2.so.0, but so far unsuccessfully - plus, even if I find it I don't know what I'm meant to do with it. All I want is a nice 1st person shoot-'em-up that will work nicely on my computer. It's worked before... but not any more.

Any ideas? (or better, inside info from someone who knows)

Slackware :: Enable Windows Wireless Drivers In Slackware 13.1 And How To Install XFCE

Aug 22, 2010

I recently installed Slackware Linux 13.1 , and my Wireless is down. I've only installed 3 Linux disto's on my main laptop (Ubuntu 9.10 , 10.04 , and Crunchbang Linux 9.04 , just had Crunchbang), and they all had the same problem. In all three , I was able to enable Windows Wireless drivers and every thing worked. Now , I'm assuming I have to the same ting in Slackware? Sorry , but I have no idea what my wireless card is. But I know that my laptop is a Dell Insprion E1705. One last thing , I did ifconfig and that wlan0 is my Wi-Fi interface. I typed ifconfig wlan0 up to see if that was the problem. After I did that , I got and error message. Then I typed ifconfig wlan0 down to see if it was down and it made wlan0 down. I tried bringing it up again , but I got an error saying it couldn't find the device specified. Also , how do I install XFCE? I really don't like KDE for some reason and would like to install XFCE. I chose XFCE over GNOME (my favorite) because I want to try something new.
