Ndiswrapper-beyond package

It seems that in the huge upgrade, there was an update for ndiswrapper-beyond, however this driver seems to be compiled with the new gcc and the beyond kernel is still compiled with the "old", which means that i can't modprobe it:
ndiswrapper: version magic '2.6.16-beyond SMP preempt 686 gcc-4.1' should be '2.6.16-beyond SMP preempt 686 gcc-4.0'.
Anyone might have the old package or something?
This kinda annoys me because I am experiencing crash with cedega and other issues with 2.6.17, so I just want to use the beyond.
I have thought about recompiling the beyond package myself with new gcc, but I got some make error + md5sum mismatch.
Thank you in advance.

Thats all well and good... Unfortunately I cleared the package cache after upgrading (I know I should have at least waited until I knew that everything worked but well... whoops...)
Still, I expect that the testing repository is for... surpise... testing! NDisWrapper blowing chunks shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone who actually bothered to test it. It's fairly apparent that somebody compiled ndis and never bothered to see if it worked or not. I'm sure it was an honest mistake or oversight but it's still annoying. Things should NOT be let out of testing if nobody has in fact tested them. That's just common sense.
All in all, I'll chaulk it up to a mistake on my part. I should have kept the old package of ndis around in case I had to downgrade. It's happened to me before because ndiswrapper seems very, very fragile for me and I've had troubles before.

  • Kernel26-beyond + ndiswrapper + wpa_supplicant [solved]

    Hello!
    A few problems with kernel-2.6.16-beyond and my network profile (ndiswrapper plus wpa2-psk).
    Here we go:
    - Running Arch 0.7.2, uptodate with current and extra repos.
    - Installed kernel26beyond package and ndiswrapper-beyond.
       kernel26beyond version: 2.6.16.beyond4.1-1
       Ndiswrapper-beyond version: 1.16-1
    - Edited the grub configuration, adding the new kernel:
    title Arch Linux Beyond
    root (hd0,1)
    kernel /vmlinuz26beyond root=/dev/hda5 ro video=vesafb:ywrap,1280x800-16@60
    initrd /initramfs-beyond.img
    - Reboot to test the new kernel.
    It seems the wifi profile doesn't start. Ok, let's see...
    My wifi profile works OK with stock Arch kernel, but after the installation of kernel26 beyond the wpa socket directory (/var/run/wpa_supplicant) has dissapeared.
    No problem, created it again and restart the network. Still no luck.
    ndiswrapper-beyond seems to work fine:
    $ ndiswrapper -l
    bcmwl5 driver installed, hardware present
    dmesg output:
    ndiswrapper version 1.16 loaded (preempt=yes,smp=yes)
    ndiswrapper: driver bcmwl5 (Broadcom,05/26/2005, 3.120.27.0) loaded
    ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:06:02.0[A] -> GSI 21 (level, low) -> IRQ 22
    ndiswrapper: using irq 22

    wlan0: encryption modes supported: WEP; TKIP with WPA, WPA2, WPA2PSK; AES/CCMP with WPA, WPA2, WPA2PSK
    The wpa_supplicant configuration works fine with stock kernel:
    $ cat /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
    ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
    ap_scan=1
    network={
    ssid="myssid"
    proto=RSN
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
    pairwise=TKIP
    group=TKIP
    #psk="blah"
    psk=encrypted blah
    I have tried adding ndiswrapper to the modules array in /etc/rc.conf, the network doesn't start.
    Later I have changed the file /etc/mkinitramfs.conf and generated a new initramfs-beyond.img, trying to enable ndiswrapper here and/or USB subsystem support, but the result was the same.
    The *ONLY* solution I have found is booting the system with the beyond kernel, wait to the network init script to fail (it seems a dhcp timeout), log into the system and execute the following:
    # killall wpa_supplicant
    # /etc/rc.d/network restart
    Any idea about why I have to kill wpa_supplicant to get the wifi working with it? As I said, this problem does't exist with the stock kernel, and I don't see any errors reported by wpa_supplicant.
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for your reply, Phrodo_00.
    I think it is using the correct ndiswrapper module (beyond).
    Looking at the modinfo output:
    $ modinfo ndiswrapper
    filename: /lib/modules/2.6.16-beyond/misc/ndiswrapper.ko
    license: GPL
    version: 1.16
    description: NDIS wrapper driver
    Maybe this problem is related to the execution order of the commands (modprobe ndiswrapper, wpa_supplicant, dhcpcd) during boot.
    Everything works fine after killing wpa_supplicant and restarting the network, the ndiswrapper module is loaded, wpa_suplicant is running as a daemon, etc.
    $ ps -ef | grep wpa
    root 4262 1 0 10:12 ? 00:00:00 wpa_supplicant -wB -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -D wext

  • Ndiswrapper problems.

    Hi,
    I installed Arch Linux 4 or 5 days ago and I am currently having a problem that is giving me headaches. I have searched the web over and over for a solution and I can't seem to find one.
    I have a wireless card which is a DLink DWL-G510. I got this card working using the ndiswrapper and the WL138 Asus 64 bit drivers and everything was fine.
    Then my system had a crash. Actually, I was stuck in a situation where 2 problems prevented me from rebooting in a nice way. I tried to shut down KDE and for reasons I have now fixed it would hang with a completely black screen. At the same time I was having a keyboard problem where I couldn't use the shift or control keys. Therefore I couldn't switch to a vc and reboot. I had to use the reset button on the computer.
    Ever since that time I have been unable to get my card to work. I tried it with a Knoppix boot disc and it was able to detect and see the card using iwconfig on that, so I know its not the fault of the card. I think I must have corrupted something when I rebooted.
    Currently I get one of two problems when I try to install. I go through ndiswrapper -i and it installs and ndiswrapper -l says the card has been detected. When I try to run modprobe ndiswrapper I get one of two situation.
    1) I check dmesg and I see
    ndiswrapper version 1.52 loaded (smp=yes, preempt=yes)
    ndiswrapper (link_pe_images:576): fixing KI_USER_SHARED_DATA address in the driver
    ndiswrapper: driver mrv8k64 (Marvell,06/08/2005,2.7.1.19) loaded

    NET: Registered protocol family 10
    lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions
    eth0: no IPv6 routers present
    vmnet1: no IPv6 routers present
    vmnet8: no IPv6 routers present
    2) Sometimes immediately and sometimes using dmesg I will see the following message and I will be unable to remove ndiswrapper, so further testing requires a reboot, which is very annoying. The message in the system log is different from what I get, but it is something to do with a
    windows driver cannot initialize device.
    I have tried reloading the ndiswrapper and ndiswrapper-utils packages but that didn't seem to do much. I'm having trouble remembering some of the other things I've tried with this. Oh yeah, I tried the sources from the ndiswrapper sourceforge site but that didn't seem to do anything either.
    Any ideas?
    Daniel

    Its funny, but in the process of doing this I was playing around with all kinds of things and reinstalling components to see if anything had been corrupted. In the process of doing this I tried the unstable kernel and then for some reason I lost ethernet. I couldn't get it to function in the regular kernel (I think it was still working for the new kernel), the arch install cd 2007.08.2, or the Knoppix 3.5.1 dvd. The cure was to reboot into windows and then reboot back into Linux. I wonder if the same thing would work for my wireless driver. Unfortunately the only windows I have install is 64 bit Vista and I don't have a functioning wireless driver for it so I cannot get it to work anywhere right now. Yes, I am aware that I am using the 64 bit ASUS driver in Linux but it says it is unable to start the device in Windows. This is not new, it has always happened.

  • Kernel-headers and kernel26-beyond out of sync?

    Hello,
    I am using kernel26-beyond (currently at 2.6.19), but every time a vanilla kernel gets upgraded, I get kernel-headers upgraded also (currently at 2.6.20). I wonder if wouldn't be better if there was different kernel-headers-beyond package for kernel26-beyond kernels? I am just afraid I could have problems while compiling some programs while vanilla and beyond variants of kernel are out of sync.
    I imagine this is valid for other variants of kernels as well.
    Another solution would be to release all the kernel variants at the same time, but I don;'t know if it would be possible.
    Regards,
    miko

    mykey wrote:Just to get this straight - only when glibc is compiled against new kernel-headers (e.g. 2.6.21) it is safe to upgrade kernel-headers (to 2.6.21) even if the used kernel version is still 2.6.19 ?
    yes, and glibc will be recompiled when the kernel headers are updated, so you're able to upgrade safely.
    You can use any kernel you like (within reason), it doesnt have to match the kernel-headers version.

  • X running without xorg.conf

    Hi,
    I've installed the ati-glrx-beyond package with the ati drivers and noticed that my xorg.conf was gone (not sure if it was there in the first place):
    find / -name xorg.conf
    returns no files.
    Anyway, X runs fine, with the correct resolution and everything (no direct rendering though). The problem is that I can't configure it with aticonfig (as the configuration file isn't there)...running Xorg -configure crashes with the following message:

    Any ideas what might be wrong? Thanks in advance

    A bug in the ATI drivers prevents you from using autoconfiguration. You could move away the fglrx driver file or uninstall the ATI driver temporarily and use Xorg -configure to generate a generic config using the vesa or vga driver first, then move the things back in place and use aticonfig to generate the ati-specific xorg.conf.

  • Unionfs and squashfs module packages for beyond kernel

    It's nice to see a unionfs package for the latest beyond kernel has appeared - as it hadn't been included in the kernel package (beyond4-1).
    Previous beyond kernels included the module.
    It's puzzling to see a squashfs package for the latest beyond kernel, as this module is still supplied in the kernel package.
    Could someone please clarify the situation ... what is actually intended?
    iphitus? phrakture?

    yeah, i accidentally left it out, a file management error.
    beyond4.1 has it, and ought to hit the repos tonight. we'll clear squashfs up too.

According to what I've read so far, there is a rather simple function that needs to be placed in ntoskernel_io.c to fix this. I can't say the function works because this wont compile using the version provided from source forge. I'm still working on it
    my point was to use abs to get the current package version, which contains the fix for newer kernel and apply your patch to it.

  • What packages to install, and how to install in an USB hard drive

    Hello.
    Well, as I said in another thread, I want to install in an USB hard drive. But I don't know how, because it hasn't graphical installer, but text installer. I tried in a virtual machine, and it was fine, but when I want to start it, an error appears, "Was not found a bootable system" or something. Maybe a VM is not as a computer, but... well. I didn't change anything while I was installing GRUB, and I know that I've to install it in /dev/sdb.
    And I want to know too, what packages to install and what packages don't (the ones which are neither "base" nor "base-devel"). But I'll install sudo, links and ndiswrapper (for wifi).
    Thanks, and excuse me if my English is bad.

    Gotta use the wiki my friend and this one is even translated into Spanish:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … C3%B1ol%29
    As to your question about which packages you'll need beyond those in base and base-devel - that depends on what you want on your system... no one can answer that but you!
    Welcome to Arch.

  • (SOLVED)Problems during installation, can not refresh package database

    I have been using Arch for a year (dual boot) but for some reasons I had to do a reinstall. It worked fine, but I did some things wrong and I had too reinstall (again, befor even entering the system).  This time (and all the other times i've tried today) I can not complete the "select packages" step, it either freezes at "Refreshing package database" or gives me a message that it just can not be done (sorry, I do not have the exact words atm). I have internet and I've been trying a million different mirrors (including the one I used when it worked). What to do, what to do?
    Worth noting is that I had the same problems a year a go, but it solved it self, no idea what I did then.
    I would really appreciate if some one knew what was going on - it is driving me crazy beyond comprehension!
    EDIT: maby this should have been pasted in the installation section?

    I am sorry, it is during the installation and no command is in use (correct me if I'm wrong) - the tty7 is just reading "Synchronizing package database", the last times i've tried it didbn't 't continue for hours, other times it gives me an error message (which I haven't written down, sadly). I'm trying again atm.
    EDIT: The error message I get is just
    "error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mirror.optus.net

  • Script to download source packages

    Hi there,
    I've made a Bash script "getsrc.sh" which download easily and quickly source packages from AUR or ABS (dependencies : yaourt and makepkg). The idea is just to do in one command, something we usually do in several commands (I use yaourt -G, then makepkg -o). Example :
    /home/ehmicky $ getsrc gnome-terminal
    /tmp/gnome-terminal/src/gnome-terminal-3.2.1 $ ls
    aclocal.m4 AUTHORS ChangeLog ChangeLog.pre-2-23 ChangeLog.README config.guess
    config.h.in config.sub configure configure.ac COPYING depcomp
    gnome-doc-utils.make gnome-terminal.desktop.in.in HACKING help install-sh ltmain.sh
    Makefile.am Makefile.in missing mkinstalldirs NEWS omf.make
    po README src xmldocs.make
    It's just a Bash script you need to source in your ~/.bashrc if you want to use :
    source /path/to/getsrc.sh
    I didn't package it cause I'm new to Archlinux and still uncomfortable with the packaging procedure right now.
    I'm really not sure this might be useful for anyone (it might probably be useless indeed). I guess there are already alternatives doing just the same thign, but since while googling for it, I didn't bump into them, I thought I could post this script just in case.
    Do getsrc -h for usage.

    # you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
    # For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
    # gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
    # freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
    # or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
    # know their rights.
    # Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
    # (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
    # giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
    # For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
    # that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
    # authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
    # changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
    # authors of previous versions.
    # Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
    # modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
    # can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
    # protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
    # pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
    # use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
    # have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
    # products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
    # stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
    # of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
    # Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
    # States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
    # software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
    # avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
    # make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
    # patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
    # The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
    # modification follow.
    # TERMS AND CONDITIONS
    # 0. Definitions.
    # "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
    # "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
    # works, such as semiconductor masks.
    # "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
    # License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
    # "recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
    # To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
    # in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
    # exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
    # earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
    # A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
    # on the Program.
    # To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
    # permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
    # infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
    # computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
    # distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
    # public, and in some countries other activities as well.
    # To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
    # parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
    # a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
    # An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
    # to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
    # feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
    # tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
    # extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
    # work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
    # the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
    # menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
    # 1. Source Code.
    # The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
    # for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
    # form of a work.
    # A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
    # standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
    # interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
    # is widely used among developers working in that language.
    # The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
    # than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
    # packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
    # Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
    # Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
    # implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
    # "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
    # (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
    # (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
    # produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
    # The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
    # the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
    # work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
    # control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
    # System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
    # programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
    # which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
    # includes interface definition files associated with source files for
    # the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
    # linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
    # such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
    # subprograms and other parts of the work.
    # The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
    # can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
    # Source.
    # The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
    # same work.
    # 2. Basic Permissions.
    # All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
    # copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
    # conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
    # permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
    # covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
    # content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
    # rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
    # You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
    # convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
    # in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
    # of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
    # with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
    # the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
    # not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
    # for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
    # and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
    # your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
    # Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
    # the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
    # makes it unnecessary.
    # 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
    # No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
    # measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
    # 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
    # similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
    # measures.
    # When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
    # circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
    # is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
    # the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
    # modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
    # users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
    # technological measures.
    # 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
    # You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
    # receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
    # appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
    # keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
    # non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
    # keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
    # recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
    # You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
    # and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
    # 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
    # You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
    # produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
    # terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
    # a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
    # it, and giving a relevant date.
    # b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
    # released under this License and any conditions added under section
    # 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
    # "keep intact all notices".
    # c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
    # License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
    # License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
    # additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
    # regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
    # permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
    # invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
    # d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
    # Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
    # interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
    # work need not make them do so.
    # A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
    # works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
    # and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
    # in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
    # "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
    # used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
    # beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
    # in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
    # parts of the aggregate.
    # 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
    # You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
    # of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
    # machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
    # in one of these ways:
    # a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
    # (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
    # Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
    # customarily used for software interchange.
    # b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
    # (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
    # written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
    # long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
    # model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
    # copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
    # product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
    # medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
    # more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
    # conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
    # Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
    # c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
    # written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
    # alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
    # only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
    # with subsection 6b.
    # d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
    # place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
    # Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
    # further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
    # Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
    # copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
    # may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
    # that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
    # clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
    # Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
    # Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
    # available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
    # e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
    # you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
    # Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
    # charge under subsection 6d.
    # A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
    # from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
    # included in conveying the object code work.
    # A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
    # tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
    # or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
    # into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
    # doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
    # product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
    # typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
    # of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
    # actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
    # is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
    # commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
    # the only significant mode of use of the product.
    # "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
    # procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
    # and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
    # a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
    # suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
    # code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
    # modification has been made.
    # If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
    # specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
    # part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
    # User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
    # fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
    # Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
    # by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
    # if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
    # modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
    # been installed in ROM).
    # The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
    # requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
    # for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
    # the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
    # network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
    # adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
    # protocols for communication across the network.
    # Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
    # in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
    # documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
    # source code form), and must require no special password or key for
    # unpacking, reading or copying.
    # 7. Additional Terms.
    # "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
    # License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
    # Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
    # be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
    # that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
    # apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
    # under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
    # this License without regard to the additional permissions.
    # When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
    # remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
    # it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
    # removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
    # additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
    # for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
    # Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
    # add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
    # that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
    # a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
    # terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
    # b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
    # author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
    # Notices displayed by works containing it; or
    # c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
    # requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
    # reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
    # d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
    # authors of the material; or
    # e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
    # trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
    # f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
    # material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
    # it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
    # any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
    # those licensors and authors.
    # All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
    # restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
    # received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
    # governed by this License along with a term that is a further
    # restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
    # a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
    # License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
    # of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
    # not survive such relicensing or conveying.
    # If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
    # must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
    # additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
    # where to find the applicable terms.
    # Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
    # form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
    # the above requirements apply either way.
    # 8. Termination.
    # You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
    # provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
    # modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
    # this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
    # paragraph of section 11).
    # However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
    # license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
    # provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
    # finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
    # holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
    # prior to 60 days after the cessation.
    # Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
    # reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
    # violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
    # received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
    # copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
    # your receipt of the notice.
    # Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
    # licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
    # this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
    # reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
    # material under section 10.
    # 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
    # You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
    # run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
    # occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
    # to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
    # nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
    # modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
    # not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
    # covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
    # 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
    # Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
    # receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
    # propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
    # for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
    # An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
    # organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
    # organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
    # work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
    # transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
    # licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
    # give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
    # Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
    # the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
    # You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
    # rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
    # not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
    # rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
    # (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
    # any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
    # sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
    # 11. Patents.
    # A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
    # License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
    # work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
    # A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
    # owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
    # hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
    # by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
    # but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
    # consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
    # purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
    # patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
    # this License.
    # Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
    # patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
    # make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
    # propagate the contents of its contributor version.
    # In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
    # agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
    # (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
    # sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
    # party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
    # patent against the party.
    # If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
    # and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
    # to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
    # publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
    # then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
    # available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
    # patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
    # consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
    # license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
    # actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
    # covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
    # in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
    # country that you have reason to believe are valid.
    # If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
    # arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
    # covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
    # receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
    # or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
    # you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
    # work and works based on it.
    # A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
    # the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
    # conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
    # specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
    # work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
    # in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
    # to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
    # the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
    # parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
    # patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
    # conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
    # for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
    # contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
    # or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
    # Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
    # any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
    # otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
    # 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
    # If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
    # otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
    # excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
    # covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
    # License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
    # not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
    # to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
    # the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
    # License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
    # 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
    # Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
    # permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
    # under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
    # combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
    # License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
    # but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
    # section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
    # combination as such.
    # 14. Revised Versions of this License.
    # The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
    # the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
    # be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
    # address new problems or concerns.
    # Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
    # Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
    # Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
    # option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
    # version or of any later version published by the Free Software
    # Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
    # GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published

  • Acrobat XI Pro Install via CCP Packager for Enterprise unuseable - tips for the unitiated

    Well, after at least six weeks of trying to script and package Acrobat XI via the CCP packager for enterprise (Windows 7 X64) I have learnt many home truths which I thought I would share with the unitiated. This process, from the point of view of an IT admin who has to mass deploy this application to 680 PC's as part of an updated SOE has been the most painful scripting process I have ever found of any package (we successfully deploy Office, and Autodesk apps!). Not only that, but our entire State technical colleges have all purchased the same version. This will be affecting IT staff across a huge area, perhaps worldwide. Below are some some facts relating to this that I will share so others do not have to trawl the minefiled of dead-ends and confusion that is Adobe forums/official documentation. Apologies for not finding direct links to all of the below just yet but I've run out of time as we now have MANUALLY install Acrobat XI on all of these machines. When I get time I will post some of the links:
    Facts:
    Acrobat XI and Lightroom are NOT "CC" packages. Therefore they rely on a spearate serial numbers to install standalone without another major Adobe product (eg Photoshop) to be installed and then run first. Otherwise they will run in trial mode. If your organistaion is wanting to install these products I highly recommend seeing if Adobe can provide you with these.
    Without the use of serial number for Acrobat XI this almost renders the Customisation Wizard effectively useless, none of the silent install switch will work with "Offline Exception"
    Yes, one Adobe employee notes that you must install a major package before Acrobat but as the aoplogies for not fixing this were posted last August, we are still in the quandry of not having any useable fix except for the ridiculous "Exceptions" file and Exceptions installer.
    If you run the Build and/or execeptions msi's it installs Acrobat twice, gold Adobe, gold.
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/6039529#6039529 - look at this for a working script for Photoshop etc, it's great.Thanks to http://forums.adobe.com/people/PetriRiihikallio for posting this. However, alas, it cannot silently install Acrobat correctly (thus far).
    It appears that the msi builder for CCP for enterprise is fatally flawed. I have never had as much problem with installing msi's -  ever. For example, I have had to re-package the msi multiples times and many times simply running the msi will fail.
    The idea that all major installs have to install the 32 bit version AND the 64 bit version is riduclous, enough said.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/acrolaw/2013/02/acrobat-xi-deployment-guide-for-large-firms/ this guide may be useful for people who have been given a separate serial number.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/known-issues-acrobat-xi-reader.html another useful link
    I think for the time being I have now wasted enough time trying to tear my hair out with this. I will be waiting for Adobe to announce Acrobat and Lightroom CC. this will enable the correct deployment of a single app without having the bloat my SOE with unnecessary applications that most staff rarely use. Ahhh, I love a good manual install via VNC/RDP, don't you?

    Hi Waltpenner and others, yes it can be very confusing and writing script after script got me even more confused.
    Now, the story continues, after 6+ hours on the phone with Adobe Support...
    When you install Adobe Acrobat XI it asks you to install the C++ Redistributable package and this is where the msi will STOP INSTALLING. even though the MSI says "complete"
    Now you think to yourself, OK, I'll write a script to install this msi package no problems, solved.
    Nope, the msi for Acrobat Pro XI will Still Halt even if you write this into the script along with halt no err or something similar in your code.
    So what do you do?
    When you create your msi in Cloud Packager, even though this feels completely against your better judgement tick the box under conflicting Process entitled "Ignore Conflicts and Continue installations" This will (finally) allow you to run the msi. Please see the wonderful deployment script above, which you may still need to edit to your needs (I did) - which I post once it's working perfectly.
    You could then install the C++ redist from Microsoft at a later date ----> On that note however (thanks Microsoft for this gem) the Visual C++ redist is an msi for download, but it's actually a zip file calling an exe inside it. I suggest using the App Deploy Repackager  to help you change registry entries if you need to install this, but choose your favourite tool (and no I'm not talking about that work colleague you don't like
    Note: You will need to install this for certain features of Acro Pro XI to function, most of which relates to sever functions of Acrobat. I will post the exact reasons when I find them. Under pressure to get this deployed, I have not deployed this pckage as yet. Also, I'm unsure how Visual C++ will affect other major apps across my enterprise just yet.
    Things to still consider
    Acrobat still installs twice in the program directory (1.7GB nd 1.8GB respectively)
    As all of the other CC packages are quite easy to install, Adobe needs to provide better service to it's enterprise customers by creating a proper version of Acrobat and Lightroom which is Acrobat CC and Lightroom CC, not version numbers tacked onto their new Cloud Service.
    As for the above point I would still recommend creating the smallest msi packages you can, as large msi's that install a number of Apps (eg all of the web/image editing apps) take forever and quite often exhibit install errors
    The amount of time I've spent on this is ridiculous, and we've had to package everything from Office to Autocad.
    The amount of bandwidth I've chewed up is excessive, with package re-creation (download) of all the products probably about 100GB - however the ability to edit these packages with updates with the CCP is a good step forward.
    Using the CCP through a proxy is horrendous, and complicated with the amount of exception through the servers you have to prvide (even then it rarely works).
    The MSI packager still needs quite alot of work. As Petri states why he had to write a script like this when Adobe could have done the same thing is beyond him.
    Adobe needs to trawl it's forum posts and take out the many false leads and dead ends provided by it's experts.
    When I Think of anything else, or wite more scipts I'll let you all know.
    Cheers,

  • Need general advice on package selection regarding java

    Hi,
    I have done a course in programming and covered some of the many areas of java ..... Since finishing that course I have been on and off java . I have used jbuilder9 and also briefly used some other IDEs. Anyway in the past I have done some simplistic graphics programming such as a ball bouncing across the screen. The thing is im planning on writing a small snooker or pool game , Im really determined and I want it to be a structured learning experience ....where Im using objects,interfaces and such. The thing is ....in college the graphical aspects of a program never stretched much beyond using what is provided by the jbuilder IDE. What I want to do is build a pool game but use my own classes and interfaces where appropriate and I was wandering what the best way to do it would be? .....Its a kind of general question so I will try and elaborate....Im willing to get into the ins and outs of understanding the code its just that Im not so sure jbuilder is the correct software to use for this kind of thing, especially with the fact that I want my code to 100% be my own .....e.g NO or very little auto generated stuff. Doing it this way will probably be inefficient but I feel I will grasp javas many complexities by having less "Bells & Whistles" so to speak :-) .....I want to do everything from creating an initial background frame to coding a class ball for the pool balls and somehow dealing with all the angles that a ball can be hit from.
    Is there any sites anyone could recommend that cover the coding of a java game from scratch ......and also uses the functionality of java by immplementing interfaces , classes and explaining there purpose as they go?
    Also a site with an install guide for whatever software is recommended would be great :-)
    I was going to use netbeans 4.0 buy when I click for documentation on an error it says something about "cannot find javadoc documentation. check platform manager to make sure the documentation is added" .......you see I am used to being able to click on an error and get a whole wealth of information about that error or relevant tutorials(such as in jbuilder.....I want good instant error documentation like this).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.......also bearing in mind that I want to be able to use my own code without having to understand an ide inside out.......although I want to use one all the same .....:-)
    David

    Is there any sites anyone could recommend that cover
    the coding of a java game from scratch ......and also
    uses the functionality of java by immplementing
    interfaces , classes and explaining there purpose as
    they go?I belive there is a nice tutorial on here, and several if you google, but there is a very good listing in the Java Games Developement forum--this subject comes up there often. There are also listing of 3rd party packages that will help with vaious tasks, such as, graphics.
    Also a site with an install guide for whatever
    software is recommended would be great :-)Install guides are generally supported by the specific tool you wish to use.
    I was going to use netbeans 4.0 buy when I click for
    documentation on an error it says something about
    "cannot find javadoc documentation. check platform
    manager to make sure the documentation is added"
    .......you see I am used to being able to click on an
    error and get a whole wealth of information about
    that error or relevant tutorials(such as in
    jbuilder.....I want good instant error documentation
    like this). for netbeans you need to install the Java Docs seperate.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.......also
    bearing in mind that I want to be able to use my own
    code without having to understand an ide inside
    out.......although I want to use one all the sameI use NetBeans and find it does as well as most others I've tried--especially the free ones. There are several to meet your tastes and preferences, i always recomend try a few and see what you like. For a list of IDE's do a search in this forum, the topic comes up several times a year.

  • Office 365 ProPlus App-V 5.0 Package installs Lync, Outlook, Infopath and Onenote even though they are not selected for publishing

    I have created an App-V 5.0 Package for Office 365 ProPlus using the documentation provided here:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219422.aspx
    I am able to load the App-V Package into my SCCM 2012 SP1 environment and deploy the package to a test machine
    Within SCCM, I have configured the deployment type to only select a couple of applications.  Notice that Lync, Outlook, Infopath and Onenote are not selected.
    http://i.imgur.com/1eMxUlY.jpg
    For my deployment type, I only selected Word, Excel and Powerpoint.  Looking at my test machine, those 3 applications now show up in my start screen.
    http://i.imgur.com/amZmxAT.jpg
    I don't see any of the other Office applications be default on my start screen, so I would think all looks good.  If I type another Office application, lets say access at the start screen I get, "No apps match your search."
    http://i.imgur.com/fxbWEvb.jpg
    But if I type Lync, Outlook, Infopath or Onenote, it shows me that those applications are available, and I can launch them as an App-V application just as I could Excel, Word or Powerpoint, the applications that I wanted to have available.
    This is not what I was expecting when I went through the trouble to create an App-V package.  It looks like almost all of the apps become available on my client machine, all App-V is doing is making the application button in the start screen a little
    harder to find.
    What is interesting is that for the applications I did want published, I can search for them by just entering a few letters of the application name, and they show up with the 2013 version label, see below for an example search for Word.
    http://i.imgur.com/0LeS05z.jpg
    For the applications that I did not publish but still show up on my client, I have to type in the full name of the application for the launch button to come up.  For example, I can't type lyn and expect to see Lync, but if i type lync I will get an
    option to launch the application.  The same goes for Outlook, Infopath and Onenote, and when you do type in the full namke of the app, it doesn't show the version number like Word does as Word 2013, it just shows Lync, or Outlook, or Infopath, or
    Onenote.
    http://i.imgur.com/QV1afuc.jpg
    vs
    http://i.imgur.com/PxgSmUc.jpg
    Can anyone from Microsoft confirm that this is expected behavior.  If this is to be expected this is pretty disappointing, because a main point of the App-V package is it is the only way to limit which applications are deployed via Office 365 ProPlus
    but from what I can tell, it really isn't limiting anything beyond the start screen for most cases.

    So it looks like the config xml files are the best option
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/office_resource_kit/archive/2013/12/02/announcing-app-v-5-0-sp2-support-for-office-2013-volume-licensing-editions.aspx
    You can now use the Deployment Configuration file to configure the Office installation. One question I often get is, “How do I disable msaccess.exe or infopath.exe from an Office install if I am not using the MSI package?” This can be done by modifying the
    Deployment Configuration file in App-V with entries like the following:
    <Application Id="[(AppVPackageRoot}]\office15\MSACCESS.EXE" Enabled="false">
      <VisualElements>
        <Name>Access 2013</Name>
        <Icon />
        <Description />
      </VisualElements>
    </Application>
    That will prevent App-V from publishing msaccess.exe on the system and/or you can remove any undesired application shortcuts from publishing on the targeted computer using the shortcuts properties by deleting or commenting them out. Once you’ve configured your
    Deployment and User Configuration files, you’ll have everything you need to import the packages into your App-V environment to start testing.

  • [SOLVED] Ndiswrapper, NetworkManager 0.7 and 64-bit Arch Linux

    Hi there!
    I am having problems configuring my wireless card. I know I have to use Ndiswrapper, and this is what I have tried to do; however, it didn't go quite well.
    This is rather odd because it worked perfectly in the 32-bit version of Arch Linux, but now it doesn't work.

    sudo ndiswrapper -l

    Alleluia!!!
    I think I will write a new rule for myself to follow :
    Thou shalt never use ndiswrapper again.
    Thanks a lot, wonder, and thanks to you too, Xyne.
    FYI, I tried to use something else than ndiswrapper before, but it didn't yield satisfying results. Anyway, thanks.

  • Error while running package ORA-06553: PLS-553 character set name is not re
