Abiword plugins [solved]

I downloaded abiword plugins and aspell (en), and I'm wondering how to install them. mostly aspell, because a spelllcheck would be really useful. my lack of knowledge is mostly where the plugin files are, because it seems like there's an automated tool for adding plugins in the abiword application.
edit: the solution was that it did it automatically.

Install the plug-ins with pacman and you don't have to worry about where they go:
pacman -S abiword-plugins
If you use aspell, make sure that you install any language files that you need. If you want English for instance:
pacman -S aspell aspell-en

  • Password Manager: pass and passff plugin [SOLVED]

    I've installed pass as my password manager. It work just fine.
    I also found a plugin for pass in Firefox called passff (here)
    It installed as advertised and it finds my password-store directory just fine but when I try to log to sites using the plugin I get the error:
    "Please add your passphrase to gpg-agent".
    It almost looks like passff is not talking to gpg.
    If anyone has this working would you mind to share how you solved this problem?

    Scott,
    Thanks for your help.
    I figured out what happened.
    It seems that, way back, I was experimenting with gnupg and had created a custom set up ( I do not remember having done it, but there is was ) and the S.gpg-agent was in that directory.
    After settings things to the more "standard" way of using gnupg everything is working.
    Thanks again!!

    Any one has this issue before, could you please give me your suggestions or your solutions
    Many hanks!

    Hi LeoTaro,
    Thanks for your response!
    This issue can be solved by adding qt.conf file to folder "/Applications/Adobe Illustrator CS6/Adobe Illustrator.app/Contents/Resources".
    But this folder is Application resources folder or Adobe Illustrator, I think add qt.conf file to this folder doesn't make sense.
    Is there any alternative ways?
    I've also tried adding "QCoreApplication::addLibraryPath()" and "QCoreApplication::libraryPaths()", but it doesn't work.
    Best Regards,
    Jae Liu

  • Quod libet plugins(solved)

    I downloaded quod libet and I love it,  The only thing is, I wan't to install plugins and I can't figure out how to install plugins.  The website says that you download a python file, and then put it in, ~/.quodlibet/plugins, but plugins is not a folder, but another file.  Am I supposed to copy paste the contents of the python file into plugins?  Someone please explain this to me, as every piece of documentation I've encountered has been vague and inconclusive.

    it should be a dir. i think you can delete it and make a dir. Beware that the pythons scripts on de quodlibet site need to be copied into an new document and then be save in de plugin dir as filename.py

  • Watching CNN and Yahoo videos with mplayer-plugin [SOLVED]

    I had a hell of a time trying to view CNN videos (http://www.cnn.com) and Yahoo videos with mplayer-plugin (firefox) and didn't seem to find any solutions in a forum search.
    The following worked for me:
    To get it working at all, I had to edit /etc/mplayerplug-in.conf and add/edit the following options:
    noembed=1
    To get smooth video and sound without choppy playback, I had to add/edit the following options to /etc/mplayerplug-in.conf:
    cachesize = 1024
    These value for cachesize will obviously vary depending on your internet connection.  But, with my DSL/broadband connection, the default cachesize of 512 was for some reason resulting in *very* choppy playback.  The cachsize of 1024 fixed everything. 
    I can now view CNN and Yahoo videos with no problem.
    Just thought I'd share if anyone is having similar problems.

    Thanks

  • Anki cannot download shared plugins [Solved]

    I installed anki 1.2.9-2 recently, and I have been unable to download any shared plugins or decks. Below are the errors that I receive.
    Has anyone had this issue and was able to resolve it or has any suggestions?
    Whenever, I click File->Download->Shared Plugin (or Shared Deck), I receive the following traceback:
    File "usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ankiqt/ui/getshared.py", line 67, in fetchData
        URL + "search?t=%d&c=1" % self.type)

    Whenever I try to sync my Decks with AnkiWeb, I receive the following error:
    There was a connection error. If it persists, please try disabling your firewall software temporarily, or try again from a different network.
    Debugging info: URLError(gaierror(-2, 'Name or service not known'),)
    Edit*
    It turns out the the problem was DNS issue. I'm guessing that the DNS through my ISP did not have the hostnames that are used by anki to download plugins.
    The solution was to append the following nameservers to /etc/resolv.conf:
         nameserver 208.67.222.222
         nameserver 208.67.220.220
    These are OpenDNS name servers.

    I am  completely up to date now, however, I still experience the same issue. In terms of it being a network problem, I have been experiencing another issue that may be related to this one. Whenever I try to ssh into one of my campus's servers, I am unable to connect through the hostname. I always receive the following message:
      Could not resolve hostname .... Name or service not known
    However, if I ssh using the server's ip address, I am able to connect. The same thing occurs whenever I specify the hostname of the campus gateway to vpn. If I give the ip address, it works. Otherwise, same error. When I do establish a vpn tunnel, I am able to ssh through the hostname.
    I thought it might have something to do with ipv6, since I prevent it from autoloading. But I tried enabling the module with modprobe and I still have the same issue, so I'm thinking maybe the anki problem and the hostname problem are  dns issues.
    I don't know much about networking, so I don't know where to go from here. Any suggestions?

  • J2re blackdown not installing, no mozilla plugin [solved]

    I've installed j2re on other distros but I am stuck
    have blackdown 1.4.1_01 gcc3.2
    extracted / installed it to /opt
    created a sym link via mc from the mozilla java plugin to mozilla's plugin folder
    but no plugin shows [except the null plugin]
    what gives?

    The following worked for me...I'm not sure why using mc to create the symlink didn't work, but you may want to try this:
    root@wyvern:~# cd /opt/mozilla/lib/mozilla/plugins
    root@wyvern:/opt/mozilla/lib/mozilla/plugins# rm libjavaplugin_oji.so
    root@wyvern:/opt/mozilla/lib/mozilla/plugins# ln -s /opt/j2sdk/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
    And the plugin shows up and works fine in Mozilla.

  • [SOLVED] abiword wants non-dependency gnome-vfs

    I just ran $ pacman -Qdt, which brought up gnome-vfs, so I deleted it. Now if I try to run abiword, I get
    abiword: error while loading shared libraries: libgnomevfs-2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    I have paid attention to notices in updates, and found nothing for abiword. I did "pacman -Rns abiword abiword-plugins" and deleted .abisuite from home before reinstalling. No luck.
    I suspect there's an (Arch) way to go without gnome-vfs, a bulky little thing, with its dependencies more than 2ce the size of abiword and its. Otherwise it would be a dependancy of abiword, right? Here's hoping.
    Cheers

    There's also the abiword-light package in AUR.

  • [SOLVED] Game window dims after a few seconds

    I just updated my system and i noticed an annoying issue whenever i launch a game. For instance I tried some of the native games, and i also tried Minecraft for example, and it's the same issue with them all. It doesn't affect anything apart from the window dimming. It dims in the same way as if it was freezing, but it's obviously not freezing as they all play just fine.
    Games run in DOSBox and wine work just fine without any dimming which rules out some things i guess. I'm not getting any warning or error messages in the terminal either.
    Relevant info:
    Arch: x86-64
    WM: Openbox
    Compmgr: Cairo
    Gfx: Nvidia drivers (And my card is GeForce 9600GT)
    Latest Java etc..
    Edit:
    I was looking around in the Cairo settings and i changed color of the 'freeze color' just to rule things out, or so i thought. It turns out Cairo thinks the games freeze for whatever reason and it dims to the freeze color. The thing is, like i said before, the game isn't freezing whatsoever. And there's no option to disable it or change transparency. And i don't wanna resort to shutting down Cairo whenever i want to play some game. I'm sure this might be a bug in the process of being fixed, but does anyone have an idea for a solution?
    Edit II:
    I think i found a solution to my problem. I kinda gave up on the issue, but just now i was looking for plugins for the cairo compmgr, and i saw one called 'Freeze' at the bottom of the ones i had enabled. And so i disabled that plugin and what do ya know.. It seems to have fixed my problem, and googling the issue i also found another thread here on the forums where someone got Xterm to work properly again after disabling the plugin, and i had the same issue, and even though i don't use Xterm, it works as well again.. so bottom line is, disabling the 'Freeze' plugin solved it for me.

  • [solved]Garbled screen with QT apps in Xfce/Gnome

    After a big upgrade a few days ago I get a garbled screen whenever I focus a window with a Qt app in Xfce, like VLC or VirtualBox. If I focus (by clicking on titlebar/ or select from taskbar) a non-Qt app the screen returns to normal.  I could not capture the screen corruption with scrot so I used a very crappy cam:
    normal:
    garbled:
    I see no error messages in Xorg.0.log (or any other log). I don't know which configs /packages are relevant to post here.
    update 1:
    Someone with Gnome seems to have the same problem
    update 2:
    After restarting X VLC works without the problem, but when I start VirtualBox (archlinuxfr/virtualbox_bin 3.0.2-2) the problem reappears for both VirtualBox and VLC.
    update 3:
    Compositing seems to be involved. If I turn it off the problem disappears, not a real solution, but at least I can use my apps.
    xorg.conf
    Section "Extensions"
    Option "Composite" "0"
    EndSection
    update 4:
    Workaround is to downgrade both libgl and ati-dri to version 7.4.4-1 .
    (see: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Downgrade_packages)

    Might be an idea, but there are so many packages involved that could be the cause. B.t.w. I tried the aur/x86-video-radeonhd-git driver but that didn't help.

    Might be the proxy setting. I can reproduce several errors with a proxy option the kind you have chosen. Never been aware this could do, and in my case, it doesn't. If you have to use the proxy, there is a second way. You might try to handle it with wget, see http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/How … tification.
    Btw. I had running pacman -Sy without any errors in the last minutes.
    Looks better.. I added two proxy lines to /etc/profile and,
    /etc/profile:
    export http_proxy="http://proxy.somedomain.internal:8080"
    export ftp_proxy="http://proxy.somedomain.internal:8080"

  • Abiword shuts down opening a file

    Abiword 2.4.5 shuts down, when I open a *.doc file, created with Word 2003. I tried different documents, but it's still the same. Abiword closes down without any error message.
    When I open the documents with Open Office, I don't have any problem (apart from the ugly font-rendering).
    I wondered, whether or not abiword-plugins are needed, so I tried to install them.
    pacman -S abiword-plugins
    checking package integrity... done.
    loading package data... done.
    checking for file conflicts...
    error: the following file conflicts were found:

    errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
    I open the documents from different locations: USB-stick (vfat) and hd-partition (ext3). Does anybody have similar problems with the up-to date abiword?
    Best regards

  • [SOLVED] Perl updated to 5.20: Should I pacman -Syu?

    Hi all,
    In the arch home page one reads:
    Perl updated to 5.20
    2014-06-04
    Perl 5.20, as any other new perl version, requires all modules that are not purely perl code to be rebuilt. We did that for all packages in our repos.
    The last couple major updates printed an error message when trying to load modules built against the wrong version, 5.20 seems to cause segfaults. Please make sure to rebuild all custom installed CPAN modules and binaries that link to libperl.so.
    Refer to my post on arch-dev-public for a script that helps to find those packages.
    I executed the script and I got this:
    $cd /tmp/find-broken-perl-package.22jFUOeh
    $ls *
    pacman.txt perl-dists.txt perl-modules.txt raw.txt
    $cat *
    libproxy
    Net::Libproxy
    /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/auto/Net/Libproxy/Libproxy.so
    I read the announcement, but I'm not sure what to do next.. What should I rebuild and how?
    Or am I good to just go on and pacman -Syu? I'm a bit extra cautious as I had problems in
    the past when I wasn't.
    Thanks in advance
    EDIT: perl-dists.txt was empty, so the output of cat * is for pacman.txt, perl-modules.txt, and raw.txt, respectively.

    tomk wrote:I guess it might be helpful to add that in the news item, the word "custom" essentially means "installed from source(s) other than the official Arch repos", since the devs have taken care of any official packages. So you just need to determine the source of that libproxy package, and then rebuild or not as required.
    Thanks.. I think I'll be safe to upgrade. Just one more question: while trying to figure out who is using the libproxy package
    I did the following:
    jorge@flamingo:~$ sudo pacman -Qo /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/auto/Net/Libproxy/Libproxy.so
    /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/auto/Net/Libproxy/Libproxy.so is owned by libproxy 0.4.11-2
    Ok, so sure enough Libproxy.so is used by libproxy. Then I'm not sure how to find out
    who is using libproxy as a dependency. I did
    pacman -Si libproxy
    but that didn't give any information about that. So I had to pretend that I'm
    uninstalling things to get to what is using libproxy:
    jorge@flamingo:~$ sudo pacman -R libproxy
    checking dependencies...
    error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
    :: glib-networking: requires libproxy
    jorge@flamingo:~$ sudo pacman -R glib-networking
    checking dependencies...
    error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
    :: libsoup: requires glib-networking
    jorge@flamingo:~$ sudo pacman -R libsoup
    checking dependencies...
    error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
    :: abiword-plugins: requires libsoup
    :: darktable: requires libsoup
    :: gst-plugins-good: requires libsoup
    :: gstreamer0.10-good-plugins: requires libsoup-gnome
    :: gvfs: requires libsoup
    :: webkitgtk2: requires libsoup
    Is there a more proper way of obtaining those packages?

  • Pulseaudio + Flash Plugin - No Audio

    So I am at a lost here. I can't get any audio from the flash plugin.
    I know alsa is working with pulse because I can run mplayer song.mp3 -ao alsa and watch a html 5 video in firefox without an issue.
    This leads me to think that flash is somehow using oss. Anyways I'm on x86_64 using the pure 64bit plugin.
    Not sure what else to try...
