How I Got Boxee Working On A New Arch Install -- 3/12/2011

I thought I'd post a log of how one gets boxee-source working as of version 0.9.23.15885-2.
I recently built myself a new media center/apache server/seedbox and thought I would put arch on it. The Install was a breeze --- as far any arch install is concerned.
The only trouble I really had was with boxee --- usually available as a precompiled package, but (as is often the case) in either the AUR or an unofficial repo.
There wasn't very much useful (up-to-date) information in the boxee wiki page; I tried the repo listed but it required the python24 dependency to install, with which there are problems. See below.
There are a lot of problems with compiling boxee in arch at the moment, so I thought I'd list each one and what I did to get around them.
The three AUR packages in question:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24206
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9898
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16355
What I did:
* Downloaded boxee-source package (not the depreciated boxee package) from AUR (I used yaourt).
* Ran makepkg -si; saw what dependencies were required (also available in AUR web interface). Downloaded python24 and db4.5 dependencies.
* I noticed that db4.5 is an older version; my installed version is 5.1 !!!!
* To get python24 to compile, I had to edit the PKGBUILD script in python24:
1) First, remove this line:
[ -e /usr/lib/libdb.so ] && echo "make sure you have no other db* pkg installed" && return 1
2) Then, delete the "db4.5" dependency from "depends"
* After python24 compiled and installed (I deleted the db4.5 package source folders) I was able to being the boxee compilation process. However, I hit another roadblock when the compilation aborted at:
fatal error linux/smbno.h no such file
Based on comments in the AUR, I downloaded: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5636456/smbno.h and put it in /usr/include/linux --- then the compilation would continue!
Finally, boxee was installed. However, one problem remained: boxee would not play videos. Literally nothing would happen when I chose a file to play.
I was able to fix this (again with the help of the AUR commentators) by editing the run-boxee-desktop file found in /opt/boxee/. I had to add this line:
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libva.so
I had to add it in the same area the rest of the "exports" are in the file; which seemed odd to me. But after that, I was able to use boxee to maximum enjoyment.

I get audio but boxee freezes. if the window is maximized i can't unmaximize; i have to kill from tty or ssh. however, if it freezes with the window unmaximized, i can still move the mouse and do other things.
boxee log says this:

How much RAM should I get my new MacBook installed with?

How much RAM should I get my new MacBook installed with? I'm planning on getting a new Macbook sometime this fall. I'll probably be a light user, mostly internet, email, and your occasional Letter/Envelope.
Are their any other options that I'll want to make sure that I get?
Oh, and this will also be my very first Mac.
Thanks,
Jeff

In the link Alvin Ray posted it shows the different configurations that can be used in RAM. Officially Apple states that the MacBook supports 2 GB Ram. It can hold 4 GB but only uses 3 GB. The 4 GB would only benefit the matched pair use for optimum graphics. Unless you do a lot of very graphic intensive work 3 GB should be fine.

How to get existing library imported to new itunes install, old library was not backed up or exported

How to get existing library imported to new itunes install, old library was not backed up or exported. This occured due to Win 7 user profile was corrupt.

I know that in Mac OS X one can pick which library to use by holding down the option key while starting iTunes. What's the Windows equivalent?
Press the Shift key.
WIll the fact that the music is now on another physical drive make a difference
No.
I know the previous install is at least 7.0, but I have no idea about which point release.
Try checking the content of the iTunes Music Library.xml file.
Finally, what's the expected behaviour (or required procedure) with respect to reauthorization of this computer to use the same ITMS-purchased files?
You will be asked to reauthorize the computer.

6.0 update, How I got it working....

Okay, I'm good to go and this is how I did it.
I backed up my iTunes folder to my usb hard drive.
I uninstalled iTunes 5.0.
Then I uninstalled Quicktime, which I had installed sperately when installing 5.0(Going by the post in this forum if you installed Quicktime seperately you have to remove it before the upgrade.).
I went into Programs in My Computer and deleted both the the iTunes folder and the Quicktime folder.
Then I ran regcleaner, a registry cleanup utility, and removed anything ITunes,iPod or Quicktime that still remained in my registry.
I ran DiskCleanup and dumped the temp. file.
I did not remove Bonjour.
Then I rebooted.
I downloaded the iTunes 6 update with Quicktime and saved it to disk in a renamed file (I keep all iTunes updates back to 4.8), I did not run the install from the Apple site.
I quit all my security programs and I remembered to quit Folding@Home.
I double clicked on the Apple setup.exe and prayed.
It worked without a hitch.
Going by Dimtry's excellent post about the 5.0 upgrade the fewer things left over from an old install the better and Quicktime appears to be the most common sticking point. Also Quicktime leaves files and registry entries scattered all over and anyone of them can cause install trouble with an update.

well done, Joe!
I was re-reading some of the posts, and there was mention of disabling firewall and anti-virus. So, I did that and QuickTime un-installed. I was then able to get the newer versions installed.
gack! more common to get interference like that on an install rather than an uninstall (or at least, more common to get reports about it on an install), but it's been known to happen.
nicely spotted. glad you got things up and running again.
love, b

HT201307 My iPad Mini has stopped working with my router. I honestly don't remember how I got it working when I bought it, but I can't seem to fix it!!!!

I need help from a person... I bought this for educational reasons, it became handy when following the weather and such at home... It disconnected from my home router, and I need help to reconnect it! I don't remember how I did it, and I have no idea why it won't connect now.... Help, please. I need this more than ever - working on a new teaching job, RIGHT NOW... Need this or I could loose my house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is an iPad user to user forum, so you are not addressing Apple. Most US users are not on-line during the night.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netwhttp://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

New Arch install - Two problems

I installed Arch in a Virtualbox 3.0.8 VM. I had everything set up and when I tried to log in I got "Superblock last mount time is in the future". I looked at this post http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=80931 and ran fsck. It fixed the issue and once I rebooted, allowed me to log in to KDE. However, everytime I shut the VM down and bring it back up I get the Superblock error. How can I fix this permanently?
Also, I installed Guest Additions and it seemed to install ok (no errors). I rebooted after the Guest Additions install and when it came back up it took me to a Console login (no KDM or KDE). I logged in as root and typed "startx" and it took me to a xterm session. KDE and KDM were working fine prior to this. Any ideas?
Thanks.

I have installed Arch in VM's and physical machines numerous times before. I follow the Beginners Guide very closely and usually don't have too many issues. I don't think this is something specific to my install. I just think something is not right and need some assistance with figuring out what it is. I think it has to do something with the clock/time. When the errors comes up about the Superblock it basically says the time it had for the previous superblock error is was later than the time it is now, which is impossible. Anyone have suggestions?

Mix between MS Outlook Calendar and Mac Contacts - how I got to work

I've tried to mix my work PC computer with Microsoft Outlook Calendar with my Mac based iPhone. This is how I did it. Can this be done by mobileme?
For Now it this works with Outlook over USB.
My Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 windows XP within firewall is now synchronized to my Phone
It now works great .. even if not wireless [can live with that..at least for now] and even if attachment does not sync no pdf, word, excel or pictures in the notes is synchronized.
Amazingly simple, I'm sure I tried this before ..but maybe the 2.01 changed something or iTunes 7.7.1 ..
My set up
I have my master mac synced to the iPhone itself i.e. iPod/music and pictures
I have my contacts and mail synced as MobileMe.
I Turned off the iCal MobileMe
I connected the office laptop with usb connector to iPhone. ..it asks for where/how to sync photos. [To turn this off: On PC go to Control panel- Scanners & Hardware - Cameras. Select "Apple iPhone" ] and opens ITunes.
ITunes ask what to do since my iPhone is linked with another computer.. I click merge, make sure nothing on the iTunes is selected ..more than calendar and outlook.
Appears to sync fawlessy and update both to and from iPhone… subject and location and notes sync but no attachment. Notes have a characther limit. with a meeting request, I do not seam to be able to access participants. With alarm set this pops up even with screen/iPhone locked similar to how a SMS is displayed
It appears that most of the time I need to reconnect because ITunes reports "ITunes cannot sync information because sync has been disabled…Do you want to enable syncing" Clicking OK appears to fix it i.e. at least fix it temporarily
Syncing with MS Outlook works with it running but also when not running.
The first sync took some time, possibly because it also backs up the iPhone [some 10gb data]. Repeated sync takes a minute or less
..and in atypical PC fashion you need to restart iTunes and disconnect iPhone from time to time.
Great!

The HP applications no longer work under Snow Leopard. Support for printing and scanning with HP devices is now built in to the OS. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669. Updated HP drivers are available at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
I was unsure about which HP software to delete so I used the HP uninstall app to delete it all. Unfortunately, it deleted the new Snow Leopard installed drivers as well. I then had to download the HP driver set from Apple to restore functionality. Printing is just as it was before, but scanning is done differently and feels a bit strange at first. All in all, it is probably a good thing as I always found HP's software to be a bit clunky and crash prone. I do miss being able to scan from within Photoshop via the TWAIN selection, though. Perhaps that will return in time.

30-40+hours still waiting? here's how i got my working in 1hr.

well, i got mine friday around 7pm. setup phone through iTunes, got a couple activation emails, one that stated it would be ready on JUN 01 1am... well, today (sunday morning) my phone still didn't work. sat in cust server for 1hr... eventually said screw it, went to AT&T store.
the rep was extremely helpful (Jason - Westwood, LA AT&T)... he found out my porting request to sprint was never initiated and somehow tied up in god knows what.
he gave me a new simm card, setup an AT&T account and porting request to Sprint in the store... i then went home and activated my iPhone as if I was an existing AT&T customer.
As soon as I hooked up the phone, in 3 minutes I was making outgoing calls. He said it would be ~3 hours for the port request to finish.
hope that helps... it was 30+ hours for me of ripping my hair out.

Well, I originally had stereo until I updated to the new drivers and my stereo went away. So I retreated back to the original pvs drivers. Not sure why the newer drivers are only mono. Also, unlike most posts I read, my picture and sound quality are excellent. I have a geforce4 4400, asus A7V-133 motherboard 640mg ram. I ran a dvd and vhs through the inputs of the msi tuner card, all worked great, even recorded in vcd format (mpeg1). I don't use the remote since my cable input comes from my digital TV cable box and I switch channels with that remote. I understand everyones frustration with the drivers, software and docujmentation/support. I am satisfied with this product, since it adds some more fun to my multimedia entertainment.
I did fine tune station 3 in my setup screen to enhance some color, just moved a couple of ticks. But, I am not experiencing the hugh problems some people complain about. (eg. snowy picture). My am working with my friend that has a real crappy picture. I have reloaded all my drivers and never once witnessed any poor video and audio. My suggest is for you to keep playing with it. Also, i am using ME.

Sync with OVI !! how to make it work with a new ac...

Hello !!
My phone is e72.
Yesterday : I used to synch contacts with ovi synch using my old ovi account : working, ok ;
Yesterday later : I deleted/closed that old ovi account (needed other name), deletion ok ;
Yesterday more later : I created a new ovi account with a new name, ok ;
Now : I can't synch my contacts with my new account !!!
It is a pity !
My phone still synch with an old and DELETED account ! he doesn't see the account has been deleted !!!
When I ask him to stop synch with that OLD and DELETED account, he asks me the password of the DELETED account ! Clever isn't it ? Of course, this doesn't work ! Because the account has been deleted for sure !
I have never seen such a pathetic misconception.
Then, I go to ovi > my new account > contacts > to declare my phone :
-I choose e72, because it's a e72 ;
-I fill in my telephone number + my world hour area, ok ;
-I press next (to get a sms at step 3) : doesn't work !!!! blocked !!! I never go at step 3 ! (but my phone is ok, he is declared in my general account, and verified !)
What is the solution ? Is Kafka the boss of Nokia ?
I want to disallow synch with my old and DELETED account !
I want to synch with my NEW account !

What I did was to find the keycodes of the keyboard's scroll wheel using xev, than created xmod file using
xmodmap -pke > ~/.xmod
after that I opened the file and searched the keycodes I had found before and changed their original values to XF86ScrollUp and XF86ScrollDown,runned this command
xmodmap ~/.xmod
runned xev again and the values were changed but the scroll wheel is still not scrolling at all. I was wondering if there is another way to call the scrolling function other than XF86Scroll... or at least someone could say what I'm doing wrong...
From my limited testing, XF86Scroll* don't actually cause anything to scroll. You need to map the keys to send scroll up/down button events. (Mr Green's link is about mapping buttons to send key events.) Have a look at xbindkeys or your WM configuration. One utility that can send button events is xdotool.
[correction: 'bind', not 'map']
I kinda understood what you're saying, so I need to bind my keyboard scroll wheel to actually scroll anything, I'm using now xbindkeys_config, but now the same doubt comes up, if I wanna bind the scroll wheel to do scroll what is the action I have to assign to the key? Since you said XF86Scroll doesn't cause anything to scroll, what does then?

How I got Xorg working under Optimus

I have just gone through the process of installing Arch Linux on my laptop(Dell Latitude E6420, NVS 4200M + Intel IGFX), without any major issues.
I used the Beginner's Guide, the Bumblebee wiki page, and the 'installing X' wiki page to assist my installation.
However, after trying to run X, xinit, or startx, the screen dimmed down and displayed only a single, unblinking white underscore in the upper left-hand corner. CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE doid not break out of that, nor did the (CTRL+)ALT+Fx keycombos work either.
When I pressed the power button the system would cleanly exit and shut down.
I started rifling through the /etc/bumblebee/xorg.xonf.nvidia and saw a very helpful section of the file comments:
http://ix.io/fhV
(for those of you that don't know, ix.io is a command line paste service.)
After following those instructions, I set Option ProbeAllGpus to true. lo and behold, startx worked and gave me my twm desktop.
I hope this helps some people. It just goes to show you that reading file comments is something worth doing, and often.
**EDIT: So far only startx and window managers work under this method. (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=190379)

ISight microphone not working on Brand New Leopard Install Solved

Hi everybody,
I had this problems during last days, and after solving it I want to share it with everybody thinking it may be helpful.
I got ten brand new never used iSights and I wanna to use them on a few MacPro Intel 2xCpu QuadCore 2,8 OS X 10.5.4 to 10.5.7 for videoconferencing using Skype and iChat.
With the video everything was fine but there was any solution to make the built-in iSight microphone works.
After a week googling and talking around I found by myself that the problems was the camera firmware.
Mac OS X 10.5.x doesn't update the iSight firmware so the audio mic doesn't work.
If you connect the camera to an old OS X (I used 10.4.11), open iChat and log in, it will ask you to update the iSight firmware to the latest version.
After that, if you unplug the camera and put it back to OS X 10.5.x the audio mic magically works.
Hoping to help somebody else I give my best regards,
Michele Eustacchi
Rome, Italy

If you running 10.5.X the updater is found here, go to your hard drive\System\Library\CoreServices\iSight Updaters\iSight Updater
For external iSights only.

Ethernet card doesn't work with new arch install?

Hi guys,
so this is kinda my first post, not that I'm new to arch i just never had an issue i couldn't figure out on my own... But i love arch i have been using it for about a year now and have had no serious problems except for this. I have had arch running on an older dell vostro 200 desktop before i reinstalled with a vary similar issue except that the fix i came up with doesn't work anymore. I will tell you about the first issue first because i ALMOST posted on here about it originally but i figured out a way to make it work even though it was a hassle.
After cold/rebooting my computer the network card doesn't work at all. lspci reported that the kernel module e1000e was the correct one (i have verified this) and that the kernel has loaded it, i verified that with dmesg but still it wouldn't work. After much much anguish and hairpulling, I realized that it had to have something to do with the module so i tried forcing it to reload with rmmod e1000e and modprobe e1000e and it still wouldn't work until i physically unpluged the ethernet cord and pluged it back in until the light on the NIC turned on. After that everything works as normal i could even unplug and plug it back in with no problems. So eventually i wrote a script that did this for me (except for the uplugging and plugging part) and i used that when i cold/rebooted.
But now i have the exact same issue after reinstalling arch to the T except for the fact that the (crazy) fix i came up with doesn't work now. I used my "fix" after booting from the arch cd and it worked just like it always has. And now after rebooting into my fresh system the fix doesn't work anymore. So now i'm back where i was to begin with but i have no idea what to try next. I didn't do anything particularly different during installation except i added a udev rule for the e1000e module just to see if somehow that would fix the problem... it didnt and i have since deleted that (to see if it was the problem). The only other thing that is different is the root and home are now btrfs partitions instead of ext4.
I have booted several other live cds and dvds (diferent distros) including arch derivatives such as manjaro and they all worked just fine, using the same kernel module (e1000e). I'm not sure what that could mean but i know that it means there is a fix for this some way or another. I am going to hook up a wifi adapter and connect that computer to the internet to put some more information up if it's needed (asked for) but for now lspci -vnn | grep -i -A 10 net reports

Sorry I was thinking that it was say "state up" after that, I was looking in the wrong place... It's been a long time since I was playing around with this. So it is as i thought it was before?

How to start the SCAN listener on new 11Gr2 install?

Ok...starting dbca on first RAC install on the new 11Gr2 cluster.
I was about to proceed from screen 3 to 4...and it comes up with an error saying the SCAN listener hasn't been started.
I started what I thought was the listener with lsrnctl start...but apparently that isn't enough.
What do I do to start the SCAN listener? I'm still a bit hazy on what this is for.....
Thanks in advance,
cayenne

Man..there just is NOT a lot of good, easy to find direct documentation on this.
I found this document that had some srvctl instructions:
How to update the IP address of the SCAN VIP resources (ora.scan.vip) [ID 952903.1]
And from there...I tried experimentingL
# $GRID_HOME/bin/srvctl stop scan_listener
# $GRID_HOME/bin/srvctl stop scan
# $GRID_HOME/bin/srvctl status scan
I did:
[oracle@node1 bin]$ ./srvctl status scan
SCAN VIP scan1 is enabled
SCAN VIP scan1 is not running
SCAN VIP scan2 is enabled
SCAN VIP scan2 is not running
SCAN VIP scan3 is enabled
SCAN VIP scan3 is not running
[oracle@node1 bin]$ ./srvctl start scan
[oracle@node1 bin]$ ./srvctl status scan
SCAN VIP scan1 is enabled
SCAN VIP scan1 is running on node node5
SCAN VIP scan2 is enabled
SCAN VIP scan2 is running on node node3
SCAN VIP scan3 is enabled
SCAN VIP scan3 is running on node node4
Trying to start the scan listener:
[oracle@node1 bin]$ ./srvctl status scan_listener
SCAN Listener LISTENER_SCAN1 is enabled
SCAN listener LISTENER_SCAN1 is not running
SCAN Listener LISTENER_SCAN2 is enabled
SCAN listener LISTENER_SCAN2 is not running
SCAN Listener LISTENER_SCAN3 is enabled
SCAN listener LISTENER_SCAN3 is not running
[oracle@node1 bin]$ ./srvctl start scan_listener
[oracle@node1 bin]$ ./srvctl status scan_listener
SCAN Listener LISTENER_SCAN1 is enabled
SCAN listener LISTENER_SCAN1 is running on node node1
SCAN Listener LISTENER_SCAN2 is enabled
SCAN listener LISTENER_SCAN2 is running on node node3
SCAN Listener LISTENER_SCAN3 is enabled
SCAN listener LISTENER_SCAN3 is running on node node4
So...it appears I figured how to get scan and the scan listener running.
I'm guessing I need to do some form of the srvctl add....I found this:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/rac.112/e10718/srvctladmin.htm#CDDEEBCH
On it, I found the generic instructions for add:
srvctl add scan
Adds Oracle Clusterware resources for the given SCAN. This command creates the same number of SCAN VIP resources as the number of IP addresses that SCAN resolves to, or 3 when network_number identifies a DHCP network and Oracle GNS configuration.
Note:
This command is only available with Oracle Clusterware.
Syntax and Options
Use the srvctl add scan command with the following syntax:
srvctl add scan -n scan_name [-k network_number]
[-S subnet/netmask[/if1[|if2|...]]]
Table A-14 srvctl add scan Options
Option Description
-n scan_name
A fully qualified host name, which includes the domain name.
-k network_number
The optional network number from which SCAN VIPs are obtained. If not specified, the SCAN VIPs are obtained from the same default network from which the nodeapps VIP is obtained.
-S subnet/netmask
[if1 [|if2|...]]
Creates the network_number. This option must be specified when network_number does not exist.
Example
An example of this command is:
# srvctl add scan -n scan.mycluster.example.com
srvctl add scan_listener
Adds Oracle Clusterware resources to the SCAN listeners. The number of SCAN listener resources created is the number of SCAN VIP resources.
Note:
This command is only available with Oracle Clusterware.
Syntax and Options
Use the srvctl add scan_listener command with the following syntax:
srvctl add scan_listener [-l lsnr_name_prefix] [-s]
[-p "[TCP:]port_list[IPC:key][NMP:pipe_name][TCPS:s_port] [SDP:port]"]
Table A-15 srvctl add scan_listener Options
Option Description
-l lsnr_name_prefix
The SCAN listener name prefix.
-s
Use the -s option to skip checking of the ports.
-p "[TCP:]port_list
[IPC:key][NMP:pipe_name]
[TCPS:s_port]
[SDP:port]"
Protocol specifications for the listener. port_list is a comma-delimited list of TCP ports or listener endpoints.
If this option is not specified, then the default TCP port of 1521 is used.
Example
An example of this command is:
# srvctl add scan_listener -l myscanlistener
So, if I understand this correctly, to get scan and scan listener to autostart on boot I do something like this?
If my SCAN name is database-scan
I'd need to do srvctl add scan -n database-scan ?
For the scan listener, from the instructions it sounds like I can name it anything I want...is that correct...?
So I could do something like
srvctl add scan_listener -l fred ?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions. (Ok, not going to really name it fred)
