How to use WineX rpm in Arch??

I wanted to use Arch as my gaming plataform instead of Mandrake, but i dont know how to handle the rpm file in Arch...
Any help appreciated.

Thanks!
Im downloading the pkgs right now....
I dont build it from CVS, becouse i have the builds already, and the CVS version doesnt include some propietary stuff, also, as a "release" (3.2) its supposed to be stable... or at least, the games they say work, should work.
But i been compiling CVS version till now, only, not in Arch or a pkg... also i dont have broadband so i wouldnt be able to upload the file...

Thats in the licence??? I know the get kind of mad when they hear about published pkgs, and also menace with changing the licence... but being prohibited??

How to use a .dmg file in Arch Linux

I have a file a friend gave me from his Mac computer with a .dmg file name. I haven't been able to pinpoint exactly how to use this type of file... I believe its an Apple raw disk image or something like that.. sort of like an iso. I need to use this file in order to start an application and download it onto Arch Linux. The problem is that I can't figure out how to use it on Arch Linux and burn it onto a Cd. Has anyone had experience with this sort of thing? I am completely lost.

How to use xvkbd in Arch + ratpoison

It doesn't pop up when an application which concern with text typing, Eg. leafpad or even terminal open.
How to use xvkbd graphic keyboard in Arch+ratpoison?
Edit 2014-01-24 : No one reply to this thread. I think I need to edit it.
Actually, I have Arch + ratpoison installed on Asus EeePC 900.
It has only 1GB CPU and 1GB Ram and its keyboard is not working well.
I mean some key doesn't print any character at all.
but its trackpad (mousepad) is working perfectly.
So, I need a on-screen keyboard working well to avoid those keys not working.
Please anybody help !

Additionally, if you set it to read a degree instead of pulse, your calculation will change a bit, but I'll leave that to you.

Trying to understand and learn how to use btrfs

I have been the past days trying to get my head around how btrfs works
I have been trying tools like mkinitcpio-btrfs (very poorly documented) and now, if i list the subvolumes i have in certain volume (/) i see i have 4 subvolumes that have been created while playing around.
If i try to delete them with "sudo btrfs subvolume delete __active", for example, I get a "ERROR: Error accessing '__active'
What am I doing wrong?
Also, I cannot get the whole idea about the difference between snapshots and subvolumes, i mean, a snapshot should be a directory that saves the changes made on the fs, s, if you want to roll back those changes, you just have to make btrfs "forget" the changes stored in that directory and move along, but I cannot take the idea of the subvolume thing.....
As btrfs is quite experimental and the wikis are not noob-proof still, I'd appreciate if someone gave me a hand trying to understand these concept...
For the moment, I'm just using it on a test computer and on a personal laptop with no fear of data loss,.
Any help is welcome
Thanks!

I honestly think it is probably a better idea to not use mkinitpcio-btrfs. As mentioned above, it is poorly documented, and for me it has never worked right (if at all). It is an unofficial AUR package, and unfortunately our wiki still seems to give the false impression that using this package is the way to user btrfs with Arch.
The way I have my system set up is that in subvolid=0 (the root of the btrfs filesystem) I have a rootfs subvolume and a home subvolume (there are others, but these are what primarily make up my system). So in my fstab, I basically have two nearly identical lines, but one has no subvol specified and is mounted at /, and the other has 'subvol=home' mounted at /home.
So in order to make it so that I can change the root filesystem as I please, instead of having the / fstab entry specify the subvolume, I put it in the kernel command line. That is, I have 'rootflags=subvol=rootfs' in the kernel command line. So if I want to change it, I simply change the path to one of the snapshots.
Just remember that if you are one who likes a custom kernel, it is likely that you will have to have an initamfs no matter what you compile into your kernel. For one thing, the kernel has no mechanism for scanning for multiple device btrfs filesystems. But also, I have read that the kernel itself cannot handle the rootflags kernel command line argument.
Oracle Linux does something interesting with their default setup. They are not a rolling release, so this probably wouldn't work so well in Arch Linux, but they actually install the root filesystem (I think it is actually done to subvolid=0) and then after installation of the packages, a snapshot of the root filesystem is made, and the system is setup to boot off of that snapshot. So it is almost like having an overlayfs on openwrt. There is always a copy of the original system, and and changes that are being made are being done "on top" of the original. So in the event of an emergency, yo can always get back to the original working state.
If you put your root filesystem on something other than the root of the btrfs filesystem (which you should, as it makes the whole setup much more flexible), then you should also set up a mountpoint somewhere to give administrator access to the filesystem from subvolid=0. For example, I have an autofs mountpoint at /var/lib/btrfs-root. chose that spot because /var/lib is where devtools puts the clean chroot. So it seemed as reasonable a place as any.
You should go to the btrfs wiki, and peruse through the stuff there... not our wiki, but the actual btrfs one, as our wiki is pretty sparse. There is not all that much content there (not like the Arch wiki), but it does cover the features pretty well. I mean, there is certainly quite a lot for being information on only a single filesystem, but it shouldn't take you too long to get through it. There are a few links to articles about midway down the front page. What really gave me a better grasp of getting started with btrfs were the ones titled "How I Got Started with the Btrfs Filesystem for Oracle Linux" and "How I Use the Advanced Capabilities of Btrfs".

How can i build RPMs file for my own Java Application?

How can i build RPMs file for my own Java Application?....I have my own directory that contains all Java Source files and some files that my Application required....I want to build RPMs file like a install File to Linux System, Now my OS is Linux Fedora core 1.....How can i do this?

I think that in order to create a RPM, you'd need to
use some C.Nope - the RPM is all about packaging and the "magic" x.spec file. You can have anything you want in the RPM, but you have to use RPM tools to build the .rpm file. One of the features is that you can also indicate (via "install" scripts) modifications to other files or the filesystem to support the installation of whatever's in the RPM.

[Solved] Question on how to use (install -d...) in PKGBUILDs

Been looking in on how to use 'install' in PKGBUILDS. I've looked at the PKGBUILD entries in the wiki and there isn't any mention on this (possibly I missed it??). I notice that these are in Makefiles and looked on the net but maybe my google-fu is lacking at the moment. I've got that:
install -d ${pkgdir}/opt
Will create an /opt directory in the pkg directory, and that:
install -m 755 ${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}/file ${pkgdir}/opt/
Will install that file in the pkg dir. So I have a couple questions:
1) How do I install an entire directory into the pkg dir?
2) How do I create a link to /usr/bin?
2) What else is good to know if I have to manually install files/folders???
Here's the current PKGBUILD I'm working on:
# Contributor: Gen2ly <[email protected]>
pkgname=liveusb-creator
pkgver=3.7
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Create LiveUSB's from a Linux install image"
arch=('any')
url="https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/"
license=('GPL2')
makedepends=()
depends=('isomd5sum' 'python' 'pyqt' 'p7zip' 'syslinux')
source=(https://fedorahosted.org/releases/l/i/liveusb-creator/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.bz2)
build() {
# Just installing in /opt, would /usr/share/python-support be better?
install -d ${pkgdir}/opt
# Install files
install -m 755 ${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver} ${pkgdir}/opt
Any suggestions?

Didn't realize I asked such a complicated question.
I thought that install was a built in command of 'make' that's why I asked but I just found out it has a man page. It's pretty technical though so I'd wouldn't mind if a someone would help me with basic usage.
Yes, I considered using 'ln' but I've read before that PKGBUILDs should use install instead of cp or mv. Thinking now that this is not the case with 'ln'???
For installing an entire folder I looked at the install man page that says that -d "treat(s) all arguments as directory names" so would:
install -m 755 ${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}/folder ${pkgdir}/opt/
Copy a folder and it's contents? Newbie question, I know, but first time using install, would appreciate any help.

Can't figure out how to use home sharing

Since the latest couple iTunes updates, my family and I can not figure out how to use home sharing. Everyone in our household has their own iTunes, and for a long time we would just share our music through home sharing. But with the updates, so much has changed that we can no longer figure out how to use it.
I have a lot of purchased albums on another laptop in the house, that im trying to move it all over to my own iTunes, and I have spent a long time searching the internet, and everything. And I just can't figure out how to do it. So.... how does it work now? I would really like to get these albums from my moms iTunes, onto mine. I would hate to have to buy them all over again.
If anyone is able to help me out here, that would be great! Thanks!

The problem im having is that after I am in another library through home sharing, I can't figure out how to select an album and import it to my library. They used to have it set up so that you just highlight all of the songs you want, and then all you had to do was click import. Now I don't even see an import button, or anything else like it. So im lost... I don't know if it's something im doing wrong, or if our home sharing system just isn't working properly.
Thanks for the help.

How to use the same POWL query for multiple users

Hello,
I have defined a POWL query which executes properly. But if I map the same POWL query to 2 portal users and the 2 portal users try to access the same page simultaneously then it gives an error message to one of the users that
"Query 'ABC' is already open in another session."
where 'ABC' is the query name.
Can you please tell me how to use the same POWL query for multiple users ?
A fast reply would be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,

Batch processing usually involves using actions you have recorded. In Action you can insert Path that can be used during processing documents. Path have some size so you may want to only process document that have the same size. Look in the Actions Palette fly-out menu for insert path. It inserts|records the current document work path into the action being worked on and when the action is played it inserts the path into the document as the current work path..

How to use airport time capsule with multiple computers?

I'm sure there are some thread about this but i couldn't find it... so sorry for that but hear me out! =)
I bought the AirPort Time Capsule to back up my MBP
And so i did.
then i thought "let give this one a fresh start" so i erased all of it with the disk utility and re-installed the MBP from the recovery disk.
I dont want all of the stuff i backed up just a few files and some pictures so i brought that back.. so far so good.
Now i want to do a new back up of my MBP so i open time machine settings, pick the drive on the time capsule and then "Choose" i wait for the beck up to begin, and then it fails. It says (sorry for my bad english, im swedish haha) "the mount /Volume/Data-1/StiflersMBP.sparsebundle is already in use for back up.
this is what i want:
i want the "StiflersMBP.sparsebundle" to just be so i can get some stuf when i need them. it's never to be erased.
i want to make a new back up of my MBP as if it's a second computer...
so guys and girls, what is the easiest and best solution?
Best regards!
