Ubuntu :: Alien Converting RPM With %defattr In Spec And Maintaining Permissions?
Nov 10, 2010Just 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.

A png format file can be pasted on another png format file easily. But because the legends generated are in a html format I cannot paste it on the map file !!

May 17, 2010I'm trying to convert a 3gp (mobile phone video) file to PAL DVD format (which is I believe MPEG2 video and one of a few audio choices, in an MPEG PS container). But while the file plays fine in mplayer and vlc, my efforts to convert it, using either VLC or devede, always seem to result in either the converted video being speed up (noticeably, we're talking twice as fast or so not 5%), or in the audio going mickey-mouse. How can I get the file converted correctly? Bearing in mind it needs to be PAL not NTSC (so a lot of stuff I might find online isn't going to work as-is)

View 5 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Mail Processing - Converting Attachment File Names
Oct 22, 2010I'm running a blog on posterous. Some friends of me post messages there via mail, mostly with some PDF attachments. These PDFs are generated mostly on a MAC with Word. The standard extension of these files is foobar.doc.pdf. Unfortunately, Posterous ignores attachments with the extension .doc.pdf.
So, I'm looking for some workaround. For example, I could my web server with some script, which receives these mails, converts the filenames of the attachment in some way and posts the result to my posterous blog. Therefore I'm looking for some mail processing scripts, which enable me to do so.

Ubuntu :: 32 Bit Rpm On 64 Bit With Alien?
Aug 5, 2010I 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:

Ubuntu :: Alien Fails On Conversion Of Rpm Files?
Apr 16, 2010Having 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, 2010Alien 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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Tripp-lite PowerAlert RPM - Can't Convert With Alien?
Apr 14, 2011We 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!).
