[SOLVED]Intel XDK AUR package is not running

Hi,
I have installed Intel-XDK from AUR:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/intel-xdk/
The install completed successfully but when i tried to launch the program by typing intel-xdk or intel-xdk.sh nothing happens. And there is no error message. This is freshly installed 64 bit ArchLinux with PekWM.

Thank you Lone_Wolf for alerting me about the matter.  I think it is a problem for some other programs too because someone created an AUR package just for this symlink:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libudev.so.0/
When the package didn't run without any error message i emailed the AUR maintainer. He quickly replied and said he is a developer at Intel and will look into matter when he got free time. I searched the internet but couldn't find a lot of information about it. Then i stumbled upon a thread on Manjaro(https://forum.manjaro.org/index.php?topic=11695.0) forums. In their system AUR package was giving the error of libudev.so.0 not found and suggested to install AUR package libudev.so.0. Installed that and program worked.
What can we do about that beside that symlinking?
Later edit: Also i stumbled upon some post that Intel-Xdk Linux install script looks for a package named gtk2. If your distro's gtk2 package is not named gtk2 it is not installing. Someone created a dummy gtk2 package and fooled the program to run.
Why install scripts from big companies always have problems on Linux? Until today there isn't even one package that haven't given me problems. On the other side installed a lot of Linux distros and %99 of time it went flawlessly.

    What was the problem? What's the solution then?
      Well, I had previously enabled multilib in pacman.com which resulted in gcc-multilib and gcc-libs-multilib being installed however these multilib packages does NOT work, gcc and gcc-libs needs to be installed instead. I do not know what is the proper solution for having these multilib packages and compiling ruby gems? (maybe adding multilib back to pacman.conf!) but it finally worked for me.
    I would create a wiki article but I don't know if it deserve's one + I'm not very good english writer + not sure if the solution is 100% right. probably this should be added to ruby page: in order to compile ruby gems you have to install gcc and gcc-libs instead of gcc-multilib and gcc-libs-multilib since multilib packages wont work because of...?

    Don't have the 7100 board , but some of theese issues are common .
    Enter BIOS in the following submenus :
    Advanced BIOS Features:
    -HD-Boot order - Make sure your SATA drive where you install OS is first in the list .
    (always check this one when altering HD's and connections of drives/usb-drives/card readers etc)
    Set normal boot order
    1'st boot device : CDROM
    2'nd boot device :Harddisk
    3'rd boot device : Harddisk (just to have something there)
    or if having floppy
    1'st boot device : Floppy
    2'nd boot device : CDROM
    3'rd boot device : Harddisk
    Boot other device : disabled
    Disconnect all USB cables coming from case or multicard dreader device etc. terminated on the motherboards JUSB1/JUSB2 .. headers .
    Enter Advanced Chipset features
    Integrated pheripherals

    Also recommend setting
    USB KB/Storage Support : Disabled
    (and connect the keyboard to PS2 via the delivered USB/PS2 adapter )
    Boot once , and enter bios again to verify the HDbootorder
    BTW: Having only 2.5GB for is not gonna cut it as OS partition is not enough as pagefile written under install is 1.5 times installed memory
    and the install will halt .
    Windows updates and other stuff as mail storage , my documents , user prifiles and registry hives need space and grow some over time .
    Primary OS partition workes best having altleast a minimum 20% free space all the time for housekeeping tasks lige changing layout ini , prefetch data
    defragmenting etc.
    Don't use anything less than 15GB to have peace of mind . ( I usually make it 30GB or more to avoid having lack of space later on , as that is a bitch )
     

  • [SOLVED] Archiso : installing AUR packages on a live image

    Hi all,
    I'm quite an arch newbie, I'm trying to setup a live USB stick, with the help of archiso. My goal is to finally get an "audio oriented" system (with jack, ardour, qsampler, and so more...).
    During the setup everything was working very well, until I tried to add some AUR packages to the install.
    On the arch website, I found this tip, which gave me a great hope about this.
    I'm not so familiar with Arch package management, but ok, I try to make a test : adding the "qsampler" AUR package. It needs "linuxsampler", "qt4", and "liblscp" as dependencies. "linuxsampler" and "qt4" are official packages, so I just have to add them to packages.both in the archiso working directory. "liblscp" is an AUR package (with no dependency); so there is 2 AUR packages to install : "liblscp", and "qsampler".
    So I create a directory tree like described in the tip, download the two build packages from AUR, and for each of them I do (something) like described there :
    # tar -xvf tarball_filename.tar.gz
    # cd tarball_filename
    # makepkg --asroot
    # mv *.xz ..
    # cd ..
    # rm -r tarball_filename{,.tar.gz}
    And then:
    # repo-add customrepo.db.tar.gz *.xz
    (I'm staying as root because it's red written to stay as root for the image creation. I think it's stupid, but people make stupid things when they are desesperate. Sorry I didn't take the time to test the code above again, it's only memory, but it was very similar)
    I did the same for both architectures (i686 and x86_64), so that my custom repo looks like this:
    ~/liveusb/customrepo # ls -R
    i686 x86_64
    ./i686:
    customrepo.db customrepo.db.tar.gz liblscp-0.5.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz qsampler-0.2.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
    ./x86_64:
    customrepo.db customrepo.db.tar.gz liblscp-0.5.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz qsampler-0.2.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
    Oops... I just noticed I did wrong for i686 machines, but it doesn't matter for the moment, since I'm working on an x86_64 machine.
    As explained in the tip, I add the following lines to pacman.conf (in the archiso working directory):
    [customrepo]
    SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
    Server = file:///my/path/to/customrepo/$arch
    From my point of view, at this point, the USB stick is ready to be updated:
    ~/liveusb # ./build.sh -v
    and then (with /dev/sdf as my usb stick device):
    ~/liveusb # dd if=out/archlinux-2014.10.01-dual.iso of=/dev/sdf
    But when I boot on the USB stick, there's no trace of qsampler (linuxsampler, however, is present).
    Since it happened, I'm feeling like a lost, lonely man, on a desert island... Thinking about the "why", the "how"..., the meaning of life..., of package management... all this stuff
    I'm sure I did something wrong about the "custom repository", and the main reason is I don't deeply understand all the steps about this; that's why I'm looking for help
    Any idea?
    Many thanks

    Thank you for the reply,
    I think I did a more trivial mistake :
    With archiso, the packages are automatically installed, from a package list file called "packages.both", and "packages.x86_64", "packages.i686" for architecture dependent packages. But they only use common repos by default. The "'qsampler" is not in official repos (that's why I choosed this one for my question).
    So, ok, I setup a common repo (with some mistakes but it was working), BUT...
    I just forgot to put the package name in the packages.both file...
    So, now that I did it, I just have an error about the package architecture, which I think possible to fix, just by rebuilding the common repo in a correct manner:
    ~/liveusb # ./build -v
    warning: vlc-2.1.5-3 is up to date -- reinstalling
    warning: mplayer-37224-2 is up to date -- reinstalling
    error: failed to prepare transaction (package architecture is not valid)
    :: package qsampler-0.2.3-1-x86_64 does not have a valid architecture
    ==> ERROR: Failed to install packages to new root
    Trilby wrote:Also, does this need to be a static iso image - is there a reason not to just do a persistent usb install?
    About the static iso image : the idea of building an iso image with all my personnal tools and config already installed on it is very pleasant to me, including the fact that you can burn it on a CD as well. The persistent acpect would be pleasant too, but in a secondary way.
    While I'm writing this message I really understand a bit more about all of this, since yesterday... Sometimes, simply posting a message in forums helps you to understand your own problem, because you have to be clear and concise!

  • Why some AUR packages do not have .xz file after makepkg?

    I am trying to install the following package:
    usb-creator
    https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/usb-creator/
    But when I used makepkg -S it did not give me any file with .xz to install it using pacman -U
    Am I missing some packages related to .xz generation?

    I think you should use -s switch, not -S.
    From man makepkg:
    -s, --syncdeps
               Install missing dependencies using pacman. When build-time or
               run-time dependencies are not found, pacman will try to resolve
               them. If successful, the missing packages will be downloaded and
               installed.
    -S, --source
               Do not actually build the package, but build a source-only tarball
               that does not include sources that can be fetched via a download
               URL. This is useful for passing a single tarball to another program
               such as a chroot, remote builder, or a tarball upload. Because
               integrity checks are verified, all source files of the package need
               to be present or downloadable.

  • [Solved] Python: Creating AUR package, binary can't find python module

    I'm building a PKGBUILD for PyLotRO for the AUR and I'm using a Debian package.  I tried just copying the content of the data.tar.gz to the filesystem assuming the directory structure is the same for the packages but apparently it is not.  At least I'm figuring this is a filesystem problem but I don't know enough about python to be sure.  When I start the program, this is what I'm getting:
    pylotro
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/pylotro", line 31, in <module>
    import PyLotROLauncher.Runner
    ImportError: No module named PyLotROLauncher.Runner
    I can see the file in the package that (I would think) would be the responsible module:
    /usr/share/pyshared/PyLotROLauncher/Runner.py
    So I'm thinking the python package must store modules in a different location?????
    The package requires: 4suite, python, and pyqt.  Any thoughts about what do I need to do here??

  • I can't download the iTunes upgrade.  The message says download did not complete , Widonws Installer Package did not run  and part of the setup did not finish.

    This forum was so helpful with my last issue so let's try this mystery....
    My son has an iPod (probably 1-2 yrs old).  Somehow when I set it up it transferred all of my photos to a library on the iPod.  I can't figure out how to delete the photos and he can't buy any apps....no room.
    Can anyone tell me how to get that darn photo library off the iPod?
    Thanks!!!

    If you're syncing photos from a folder, if you set up your photo syncing to sync to an empty folder, that should remove the photos from the iPod.
    If you're syncing from Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements, there's advice in the following document on how to remove photos from the device:

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 will not run

    I reloaded my windows xp 2005 (?) and tried to load my CS3 software.  It will not even run.  It has been suggested that the software can only be reloaded a certain number of times.  I have reloaded this software 3-4 (?) times over the years.  Is this the problem or is is something else?

    Don't think there is a number of times you can re-install your program.  You can only have 2 activated copies, so if you move to a different machine and don't deactivate on the old one it is still considered an activated copy.
    But why would you uninstall and re-install your copy?  THis rarely solves problems, espeically if you do not run the Adobe Script Cleaner.  Also, the preference file is unchanged on a reinstall, so if there were errors in it before, they are still there. 

  • Updates/Improvements to AUR packages

    I have found that a few AUR packages have not been updated for a while and some need some touching-up.  I suspect that in some cases, the package maintainer forgot to orphan the package and isn't checking their email.  I know the TUs are busy, so I was wondering if there would be a better way to handle it.
    I have re-written my own PKGBUILDS for a few packages that I think other users might find handy, but I have no way of sharing them in AUR without creating a duplicate entry.  That got me thinking, why not handle AUR more like a wiki and let any member update a package?

    timetrap wrote:
    emphire wrote:That got me thinking, why not handle AUR more like a wiki and let any member update a package?
    I had the same thought a little while ago, but in the end, SOMEONE needs to be responsible for the package. The ability to collaborate is already available. Submitting patches.
    If you think that something like this would work (and there is no technical reason why it couldn't), try setting it up. The PKGBUILD system is very easy (as you already know), and I am sure that you could find a few people here to give it a try. To make it very simple, you could get started with github, and create an open project for several packages.
    But in the end you will still need some kind of code review (which is what the individual package maintainers do anyway).
    If it sticks, you can claim that you pioneered a the wiki package system. 
    It works. That's how Ubuntu is built. Ubuntu packages have a general Ubuntu email address. Everyone has access to the packages.

  • AUR package not present in packer, why? [SOLVED]

    Dear all,
    first: I'm not really sure this topic should be here or in "pacman" section, please be patient.
    I have a quick and simple question: I have been using packer for years, and never happened to me that I couldn't install a AUR package with it. The problem is that I would like to install modipy-git:
    https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mopidy-git/
    but a search for "modipy" returns no results.
    I'm puzzled.. what's wrong?
    Thanks in advance for any help (actually is just curiosity, I can "fix" this downloading the package, but I would like to stick with packer).

    solution: you can't find something that does not exist!
    Last edited by MajinJoko (2013-05-08 09:52:53)

    Perhaps it's because the package is named "mopidy-git" (check your spelling)

  • Can't install AUR packages(makepkg: invalid option '--asroot')[SOLVED]

    I've been unable to install any AUR packages with either packer or yaourt since a couple days ago possibly after a system update.
    For example if I try to install kodi-standalone-service:
    sudo packer -S kodi-standalone-service
    (Type - y, n, n)
    makepkg: invalid option '--asroot'
    The build failed.
    This happens to all packages I tried including ones that I installed  before with the same command. I installed yaourt after I started to get this error but fails just like packer. I tried running as root or normal user with same results.
    In case it matters, these are the steps I used to install packer.
    I am at a loss as to why it suddenly stopped working, any ideas?

    # ~/.bashrc
    # This file is sourced by all *interactive* bash shells on startup, #
    # including some apparently interactive shells such as scp and rcp #
    # that can't tolerate any output. So make sure this doesn't display #
    # anything or bad things will happen ! #
    # If not running interactively, don't do anything #
    [[ $- != *i* ]] && return
    # If the connection to the system is a remote connection 'ssh' will be #
    ## appended to the prompt. Otherwise the prompt will be displayed normally #
    # See: remote.colourful.prompt_how-to on /media/lynwyn/networking/ssh #
    # Default prompt from the above-named document: #
    # export PS1='\[\e[0;31m\]\u@\h:\w${text}$\[\e[m\]' # # #
    if [ -n "$SSH_CLIENT" ]; then text=":ssh:"
    fi
    # Alias definitions.
    # You may want to put all your additions into a separate file like
    # ~/.bash_aliases, instead of adding them here directly.
    # See /usr/share/doc/bash-doc/examples in the bash-doc package.
    if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then
    . ~/.bash_aliases
    fi

    I seem to have a larger problem on my desktop machine.  When I try to untar stuff on that one it creates a .cache directory for some weird reason and populates it with, I think, cached files from my home directory.  It ends up having firefox, mc and other cached files in the new directory and then tar just errors out with:
    gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
    tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
    tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
    tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
    Very odd behaviour and I'm assuming some config file somewhere is responsible for this behaviour.  But where else can I look apart from .bashrc? 
    @ids1024, I'll do what you've what you suggested on my netbook later today and record the information to post afterward.
    [edit] Here are the contents of that .cache directory, if it helps:
    dconf event-sound-cache.tdb.silver_yunzi.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu event-sound-cache.tdb.tengen.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu fontconfig mc dmenu_run
    event-sound-cache.tdb.silveryunzi.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu event-sound-cache.tdb.white_yunzi.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu gstreamer-1.0 mozilla
