Anyone get sreadahead to run on Arch?

The AUR contains a nice package for sreadahead which I built and installed. Has anyone been able to get the patch to apply? It fails on the 2.26.35 kernel source so this looks like an out-of-date project unless I'm not applying it correctly:
$ patch -Np1 -i ../../0001-kernel-trace-open.patch

I was under the impression those readahead/sreadahead and related patches went upstream around 2.6.29-2.6.31 and are now accessible as a kernel bootparameter (-fastboot).
But maybe I'm confusing things here, so feel free to correct me.

Cant get redmine to run with lighttpd under Arch

Hi, I posted this already in the Redmine forum but I get no answer there since yesterday, so therefore I am trying here now hoping that someone gets me a hint.
Searching the error with google finds solutions but none of them works for me (Mostly "seems you got no bundle installed", I have that).
I am trying the whole day to get lighttpd to run with redmine, but I can not get a solution to that error.
May 14 17:50:04 redmine lighttpd-angel[586]: /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:45:in `require': cannot load such file -- bundler/setup (LoadError)

May 14 17:50:04 redmine lighttpd-angel[586]: from /srv/http/redmine/public/dispatch.fcgi:3:in `<main>'
I searched the web for "cannot load such file -- bundler/setup (LoadError)" and I get some results but none of the solutions helped.
I got all gems installed and the test with "ruby script/rails server webrick -e production" runs, bringing up a working redmine on localhost:3000 however lighttpd keeps crashing.
Here the versions that I have installed
# cd /srv/http/redmine
# bundle install
Using <various gems>
Your bundle is complete!
Gems in the groups development and test were not installed.
Use `bundle show [gemname]` to see where a bundled gem is installed.

# bundle --version

I am running archlinux and that's not the first webserver I set up with arch, however the first attempt with ruby and lighttpd. Testing redmine with unicorn or webrick works, the site is up, I can login as admin and create users and content, but I can not use unicorn or webrick, because I need SSL for redmine...
I am quite lost now, how can I get the thing up?

You didn't include the root cause of the error - it's somewhere more up in the error log. Rerunning systemctl like this should get you better feedback.
systemctl --full -n 100 status lighttpd
Anyway no matter the cause it's likely not the only problem you can run into while setting up redmine - so i'll give you my entire step-by-step configuration with php that works (Tested it all in virtualbox with latest packages) and you might figure out what you did wrong.
Make sure you have installed the neccessary stuff - in my case following
pacman --needed --noconfirm -S mariadb mariadb-clients subversion ruby imagemagick lighttpd php php-cgi php-fpm fcgi base-devel
Get redmine
[ -d /srv/http ] || mkdir -p /srv/http
cd /srv/http
svn co http://svn.redmine.org/redmine/branches/2.3-stable redmine
cd redmine
Create database access for redmine
mysql -u root -e "CREATE DATABASE redmine CHARACTER SET utf8;"
mysql -u root -e "CREATE USER 'redmine'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'my_password';"
mysql -u root -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON redmine.* TO 'redmine'@'localhost';"
Copy database config and modify the desired sections of file accordingly
cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml
production:
adapter: mysql2
database: redmine
host: localhost
username: redmine
password: my_password
encoding: utf8
Install gems and setup redmine
cp public/dispatch.fcgi.example public/dispatch.fcgi
gem install bundler --no-user-install
echo 'gem "fcgi"' > Gemfile.local
bundle install --without development test
rake generate_secret_token
RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate
RAILS_ENV=production REDMINE_LANG=en rake redmine:load_default_data
Modify permissions
mkdir -p files log tmp tmp/pdf public/plugin_assets
chown -R http:http files log tmp public/plugin_assets
chmod -R 755 files log tmp public/plugin_assets
Test redmine
ruby script/rails server webrick -e production -p 8080
Configure your /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf - here is mine.
Now if your redmine runs in subdirectory (like mine) fix the routes in 'config/routes.rb' by replacing
RedmineApp::Application.routes.draw do
root :to => 'welcome#index', :as => 'home'
with
Redmine::Utils::relative_url_root = '/redmine'
RedmineApp::Application.routes.draw do
scope ActionController::Base.relative_url_root do
root :to => 'welcome#index', :as => 'home'
Don't forget to add an extra 'end' to the end of file and you should be done. Start your lighttpd and visit your redmine. For futher debug check what's in the following
systemctl --full -n 100 status lighttpd
redmine/log/production.log
your lighttpd error log
Hope i helped you - so drop me a feedback
Edit: Guess it's obvious, but make sure the user that runs lighttpd has all permissions for the folders in which you create sockets...

Anyone get 2gb Memory to run at 1T in K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI MB?

I recently upgraded to 2 GB Geil memory in my new K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI system (not the system listed in my signature). I cannot get it to boot if I set Ram to 1T.
Has anyone been able to run 2GB at 1T in this MB?
Thanks.
fafner

Thanks all for your comments.
I have the Geil Value 2x1gb dual channel kit. It is rated at 3, 4, 4, 8. I can get it to run fine at 3,3,3,8 at 2T. I cannot get it to boot at 1T with either the rated settings or the faster settings. It will boot at at 2.5, 3,3,8, but is not stable.
I can exchange this kit for a higher quality kit, but I don't want to do that unless someone else has had success with runing 2x1gb in this Neo 4 Platinum SLI board.
The memory I have runs at 1t in my K8Neo2 system as my does my Kingston Value RAM (2x512). It so happens that I have 2 Kingston value kits (total of 4x512), which I could try but everything I have read says it will run at 333mhz with four stix.
My experience has been that the K8N Neo2 Platinum is more accepting of value memory in general than the K8N Neo4 Plat/SLI. I have also read that getting any 2x1gb kit to run at 1T in the Neo4 Platium/Sli board is impossible or at least nearly so. That is why I am looking for soneone who has success (or no success) with 2x1gb sticks at 1T in the same mb as mine.
Net I want to get the best 2gb configuration possible but onle one that someone already has experience with (since I can only exhange the Geil kit once).

[SOLVED] I can't get X to run correctly after new install

Hi all,
Over the last few days I have been trying to get Arch Linux installed on an old computer that I have. The only major hurdle that I have had so far has been getting wireless to work (no wired connection available here). I got that sorted out yesterday though with a bit of research
I haven't been so lucky getting X to run though. Following the Beginners' Guide, I have gotten up to the part where I have to configure and test X. This is what I have done so far:
Basically I have tried to use Xorg -configure to auto-create an Xorg.conf, which seemed to work (as in, the file got created and looked okay).
I then set up hotplugging with HAL, setting up everything as it says in the Beginner's guide.
When I ran the Xorg test with X -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf, I got a black screen with no mouse or anything.
I rechecked xorg.conf to make sure the driver was correct (it's set to "radeon" which seems to be right). I also checked the horizontal and vertical refresh are set correctly - which they were (autodetected correctly by Xorg -configure).
I then had a look through the Xorg page on the wiki, but nothing much there seemed to help.
I then decided to not use hotplugging with HAL, so I removed it from starting at startup and set up my xorg.conf to have the autoadddevices as false.
After that, I am having the exact same problem when I run the Xorg test (X -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf).
I really have no clues as to what to do now, does anyone have any tips for an Arch Linux n00b?
My graphics are provided onboard by an ATI RS480 (Radeon Xpress 200G Series). I am using the "radeon" driver, provided by the xf86-video-ati package. My screen is an LG FLATRON L246WH.
My relevant config files are:
xorg.conf xorg.conf
~/xinitrc doesn't exist for me.
/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old isn't able to be uploaded by wgetpaste for some reason... Using the verbose switch indicates that it's saving to /dev/null. I'll keep trying to work out how to get this file uploaded somewhere... it's quite long - 881 lines.
Last edited by NovaAesa (2009-08-09 04:16:51)

Did you miss the step to copy the skeleton .xinitrc to your home directory? Please do this. Then try starting X as a normal user, not root.
You can also try starting the Xserver without any xorg.conf file as jdiez has done. That works for many people.
To lessen your copy and paste problems, and to help you sort out the logfile, try the following two commands as a normal user in your home directory:
grep "(EE)" /var/log/Xorg.0.log > xorg_faults
grep "(WW)" /var/log/Xorg.0.log >> xorg_faults
This will locate the log lines displaying errors (EE) and then warnings (WW) and write them to the file ~/xorg_faults. Errors will be listed first. This file should be much smaller than the original Xorg.0.log.
For hot-plugging and HAL, make sure you have dbus installed.
pacman -Q dbus
If it's not there, you should install it with pacman. HAL is supposed to start dbus, but I'm a belt and suspenders person, so I list dbus then hal in my /etc/rc.conf daemons.
The wiki also has an article on Xorg that may be of help to you.

The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.

I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

Questions on running an Arch Mirror

Questions on running an Arch Mirror
Does anyone here run a public arch mirror that can give me any idea of bandwith they use ?
Is there any issues with running the Current and Extra mirrors in the US ?
Is there any issues with running the Community mirror in the US ?
Mostly I would like to know what bandwidth consumption on a public mirror is for the mirrors that are normally used. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think he would mind this info being posted... i emailed him asking for the bandwidth info for the server for a one month period.... an average.......
- we dont have
a record of actual data transferred, just the amount requested (which
stands at 5440.17 GB).
My server only allows approx 2500 GB transfer per month... so, until i can find a way to upgrade that, I won't make it a public server.... if i did, i'd owe WAY too much money at the end of every month

Need step by step instructions on how to get Lightroom to run in Windows

First I downloaded Lightroom successfully using newest version of Creative Cloud. It would not run. Literally, nothing happens.
Then I found some info online that says when Lightroom CC doesn't run, you must uninstall it and download it from the Adobe website instead of using Creative Cloud.
When I try to download it in either Firefox or Chrome, I get this error message "Firefox/Chrome doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (aam) isn't associated with any program or is not allowed in this context."
After a lot of searching around, I discovered that I needed to download the Adobe Application Manger. I did so but it calls itself the Adobe Update Management Tool. Very confusing.
Then I went back to the Adobe website and tried to download Lightroom again and got the same error message.
Next, I ran the Adobe Update Management Tool and clicked on Get and Install Online Updates which seemed to be the only relevant choice. In the dropdown box under Select Product Type, there are many Adobe programs listed but Lightroom isn't one of them. I gave up on trying to download Lightroom directly from the Adobe website.
I then re-downloaded Lightroom successfully using Creative Cloud. It still would not run.
Next I found some info online that says you have to go into Appdata > Adobe > Local and rename the OOBE file to OOBE.old, so I did that. Lightroom still would not run. I rebooted. This time when I tried to run Lightroom, I got the screen where you have to accept Adobe's terms and conditions. I did so. Lightroom but still would not run.
Is there anyone who has been through this and knows exactly what steps in what order I need to take to get Lightroom to run? I have Photoshop CC and it runs without any problems.

You might reboot and try the other Solution #1/2 items, again. Since you did so much hacking which may not have been related to the issue, there may be something else not right because of it.
You also might try uninstalling and reinstalling LR 5.5 from the cloud, again, or installing the LR 5.5 standalone update from the Adobe updates page: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
You also might try uninstalling your all Adobe software, running the CS Cleaner and installing, again:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
You haven't said what other Adobe software you're running.
Is this the very first time you've tried to run LR on this computer or have you upgraded from previous versions that worked ok?

Anyone get a huge "Problem Report for iDVD" with hundreds of lines of information?

Anyone get a huge "Problem Report for iDVD" with hundreds of lines of information? This happens right before the DVD would be finished burning but instead crashes and leaves the long report your have to scroll down several times to read. I had to take several screen captures of the screen to get the WHOLE report. Here is two:
(If there is another thread on this - just answer the question or refer me to it. I'm past due on a big project. Don't have time to read all 21,000 discussions in the iDVD thread. Be kind. Thanks )

Some things to try first:
1. Disconnect any and all 3rd party devices that didn't ship with your mac directly from apple (both FW and USB included).
2. Restart your mac without any 3rd party devices attached whatsoever. That includes ext. hard drives, blue tooth devices, and any third party memory product/s. Basically, anything that doesn't come directly from apple has to go (at least while troubleshooting).
3. Need you to dispose of the plist for iDvd also. Go to you Home folder, the one that looks like a house > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iDvd.plist and drag and drop this file/s to the trash. Make sure to first quit iDvd prior to disposing of this pref. file/s.
4. Run apple's disc utility and repair permissions. Applicantions > Utilities > Disc Utility > Repair Permissions.
5. Restart your mac yet again, and try iDvd one more time.
6. If it's still at issue then please open iDvd from a separate user account and try your project one more time. If you don't know how to create a separate user account then just come on back and one of will show you how.
Good luck.

Can't get Videos to run on the Internet

Can't get Videos to run on the Internet. Clicked to watch a video and nothing happened. Sales person in Apple store said to get "Flip4Mac", free edition, which is what they used in store as the files on this site and in Windows Media. I downloaded it and I think I installed it. At least it said is was installed and updated. But when I went to my Son's favorite website, Nascar.com, when he clicked on a video to watch nothing happened. Anyone have any idea what's wrong?
Thanks in advance for the help.....Nancy

First off, I'll list all the items that I use to play, just about, all media on the web:
Flip4Mac
(as you might have found out, Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported)
VLC
Real Player
Perian
Adobe Flash
Streamclip
All that being said, there is still some unplayable A/V content on the web. Even though it's listed as WMV, they are really processed with a codec that is underneath that wrapper, and unsupported by any of the above listed apps and plug ins. If any content like this is found on a high profile site, and is in wmv format, then the Flip4Mac people request to be told, so they can see if compatibility can be written in on their next update.
Generally, video playback on a Mac can be somewhat complex. Would be nice if everyone used Quicktime, but I don't see that happening on the PC end of things anytime soon. So, we'll all just have to use what we can to view content.
RE: learning Leopard....there are some tutorials on the Apple support site, but I've always found the suppot discussions to be pretty helpful. I've never been one to get a lot from manuals. Mostly, I get my knowledge from working with the apps I need, and getting advise from others who have done whatever. Occasionally, there's a class at the college that you might look into. Anyway, feel free to ask any questions you want on this forum, or drop me an email. [email protected]

I have had to go back to using Safari because I still can't get Flash to run!
Does anyone know the secret please?
This Adobe vs Apple thing is going too far.
When I saw an FFox upgrade I rubbed my hands and thought Whoopee .. they will have fixed it by now" .. but NO!
Apple support held my hand to make Flash work on Safari..
Please does anyone have the steps to make it work?

Every time I have Flash content is says:
Alert icon
"You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video. "
~~~ But I just DID THAT 5 minutes ago, I mumble... ~~~
Does anyone have any clues as to what to do?

Can't get X to run on Hauppauge 350 TV out

I am trying to get X to run on my TV using the TV out of my Hauppauge 350. I'm almost there, in that the framebuffer (ivtvfb) is up and running and now I just need to install XDriver (http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Howto:XDriver). Most distro's have a package available for easy installation, but Arch, to the best of my knowledge, does not. When I follow the instructions on the link above, the configure script runs fine, but make fails:

Any suggestions?

Adapt the code from
asm/page.h
to
asm-generic/page.h
in the includes, at the top of the file. That should do it . ASM stuff has been reorganised a while ago in the kernel . If my rudimentary C knowledge isn't too rusty, it's in one of the .c files (just grep them).
Edit: looks like you want to check ivtv_hw.c first, according to the error.

How to get 'clover.cmd' running as Windows service?

Right now I have the InDesign instances all running great as services so on a server reboot they start up fine. The clover/lbq part is just the .cmd script and it's not running as a service. I looked in the documentation but haven't found any info on getting clover to run as a Windows service.
Anyone know how to set it to do this? I'm on InDesign CS6 (server).
thanks.

This information is in the Install Guide that comes with EAS.Running EAS as a Windows service is an option you can select when you install it. If you did not do that, you can set it up to run as service by doing the following: (From the EAS Install Guide)----------------------------------------Adding Administration Server as a Windows ServiceYou can add Administration Server as a Windows service, even if it was not installed as a Windows service.?To add Administration Server to the list of Windows services:1. From a command prompt, navigate to the following directory: EASPATH\eas\server\bin2. Run the following command: install_service.batAdministration Services installs the Windows service as Hyperion-Essbase_Administration_Server Windows service. A message displayed in the command prompt window indicates that the service is installed.3. Start the Hyperion-Essbase_Administration_Server Windows service. See ?Starting the Administration Server Windows Service? on page 49.The Hyperion-Essbase_Administration_Server Windows service is set to start automatically each time you reboot.

Does *anyone* get smooth .wmv playback on their Mac?

I have a Powerbook G4 running 10.4.10.
I have Quicktime 7.1.3.
I have a Quicktime plug-in that plays .wmv clips. (Flip4Mac)
I have numerous short clips in .wmv format, anywhere from a 1 meg to 15 megs.
It seems the smaller files seem to play a little better, but still not perfectly.
The larger files...forget it...I see one frame every three seconds. That frame freezes until three seconds later another frame comes up. This is especially the case when the larger clips are HD.
I received the advice to go to window > show movie properties > other settings > preload this track into memory. It had no effect whatsoever. Still a jumpy and unusable picture.
Is anyone getting quality playback that can offer the secrets of using Quicktime as a smooth movie playback device instead of what looks like a slide-viewer?

I took your advice, Topotone, and opened up my activity monitor. I don't know what kind of numbers I'm supposed to be seeing, but it looks like nothing surprising is showing up. My Firefox browser uses up the overwhelming percentage of processor speed, followed by the activity monitor itself. Then there's a long list of things that use up pretty tiny numbers.
Everything has gotten slow on my Powerbook. These days, if I try to take a screen shot, I hear hard drive noises for over ten seconds before the photo clicks! Simple streaming like a news media viewer starts and stops every few seconds. (That's even after I've allowed the whole video to load using the pause button.)
I'd love to know what I've installed or what setting I've set that is slowing me down so badly.

Anyone get sreadahead to run on Arch?
