[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??

Yes, 'site-packages' is the correct place. Thank you Nezmer.

should be enough
Ah, beautiful. Wasn't aware before that python install script could define a destdir. Much better way of doing it. Thanks wonder.

[Solved] Can't find usbnet module in stock kernel

Hi,
I was trying to get USB tethering to work, and found that I don't have the "usbnet" module. Pkgfile tells me that linux and linux-lts both provide usbnet, but I can't find the module (in /usr/lib/modules/...) at all (I'm on the 3.6.10-1 kernel, just reinstalled it from the repositories to make sure). I checked the file list of the 3.6.9-1 kernel that I had in pacman's cache, and the module wasn't there either. Does anyone know why I'm not getting this module with my kernel?
Last edited by Ploink (2012-12-29 16:00:42)

pacman -Ql linux | grep usbnet
linux /usr/lib/modules/3.6.10-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/net/usb/usbnet.ko.gz
Edit: oops, I see you said you checked the file list. Sorry, I typed faster than I read. If you do not get similar output to this, then the linux package isn't properly installed.

Here is a link to an Adobe TechNote about the same issue with an earlier (much earlier!) version of Premiere Elements and Windows XP.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/324/324938.html
I'll leave it to Steve and Bill as to whether the fix offered in the link for Premiere Elements 2 would still be applicable to your version of Premiere Elements.
Hope this is of some assistance.

[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!

[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.
Last edited by Paingiver (2015-02-02 22:21:17)

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.

Content Library Explorer error -error occurred while trying to read the package metadata (can't find package in console)

I have SCCM 2012 SP1 recently upgraded to R2. I'm currently setting this up to migrate my production 2007 site. However, I'm trying to use Content Library Explorer on my DP's. I have 3 dps. DP2 connects fine but when i try and connect to DP1 +3 i get
the following error: An error occurred while trying to read the package metadata. The package
PackageID is invalid and must be redistributed from the Configuration Manger console.
Now i can't find any trace of this at all in the console. In the SMSPackagesHist table i can see the package ID and the deleted time was 29-07-2013. This most likely was me trying to create software updates back last year when i initially setup the site.
The package is not listed as content on any of the 3 DPs and i can't find any trace of it at all in the console.
I'm not very familiar with 2012, so not sure what I've done.
Any help or advice appreciated.
Thanks

however, on those 2 DP's in that class, the suspect package ID is not listed!???
Any more ideas?

Nvida driver - can't find nvidia module

Finally went out and bought an nvidia geforce 6600Gt video card.
But guess what now I can't install the dam thing.
I followed the arch wiki but all I get is
Installation starts now ...
FATAL: Module nvidia not found.
If you need more information about setting up nvidia drivers have a look at:
"http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/How to install NVIDIA Driver"
modprobe nvida gives the same results. I thoght pacman -S nvida is supposed to install the kernel modules so how com e it can't find them ?
I even created a /usr/src/linux symlink to the current kernel - still not working. So what's going on I thought nvidia drivers were supposed to be really easy to install ????

The error message when I run pacman -S nvidia is shown in my first post.
I do not have a custom kernel I have pacman -S kernel26 (kernel-2.6.11.3-ARCH)
Do I need to install kernel full kernel sources with ABS for nvidia to work ?
I did try this but he kernel failed to build (can't remember why now)
Here's the last part of nvidia-installer.log incase that helps

Can't find s:Module

Hi everyone:
I just can't find the <s:Module>, is there any chance to use <s:state> and <s:transitions> in <mx:module>
It is very strange..
thanks

Not everything is available at the moment in spark but over time more and more mx functionality will end up in the spark set. FB2 is much better at dealing with the mixing of mx and spark and this will keep improving as bugs are ironed out
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Module xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo" layout="absolute" width="400" height="300">
<fx:Declarations>
<s:Animate />
</fx:Declarations>
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
]]>
</fx:Script>
</mx:Module>
the above is the basic mx module it still will allow you to mix spark and mx, so yes you can use mix and match, the caveat being that at the moment you may run into some issues but thats what testing is all about. If you have any problems you can always put your code up for others to look at, if it is a compatibility issue then it can be listed as a bug.
David.

Can't find this module. Please help!

Please help. Thank you!!

Hello,
That module is detailed here: http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/134/bc_1345.html - search for module_producfeaturelist
Specifically, the last parameter determines which layout it used. If it's set to true, the small product backup layout is used - and you can find that under Module templates - > Online Shop layouts. Or if you're using FTP, under Layouts->online shop.

Can't find output module

I cannot get the module to work on Bridge. I am using a Mac. Bridge version 6.0.1.6
I followed the instructions to put it on very carefully but cannot find it in my bridge window. i have put a screenshot of my window here. I checked as per some suggestions that I had checked the option in 'Startup Scripts' in Bridge preferences. I can see the AOM folder in the Bridge CC Extensions folder so I really don't know why I can't find it in Bridge

Hi Diego:
In your Mac Pro the Apple Prores codecs are available in the render options and in the Mac Book Pro don´t?
(Speedgrade has got several presets like Cineon, Prores4444, TGA, DPX or AJA by default in the render tab, but you can change and save your presets and export codecs if you like.
There are a "Other" button in the "Options and Format settings" in the render tab. You can select the "Other" button to look several options and change the codec in the Quicktime tab settings)

MySQL 5.6.* Development version somewhere / create AUR package

I could not find any package in the repos nor in the AUR. If that is correct we could create one ( I already had a look at the official package for mysql).

That's based on the PKGBUILD for the mysql in the repos. All I did was edit which version it should grab, the md5sum and in a few places the paths, since the '-m9' needs to be added. I've run it for myself for a couple of weeks and it seems to run quite well.
Note that while you can migrate mysql 5.5 data into mysql 5.6 it won't do the reverse for you. I suggest you make backups and all that. You may have other problems, this is, of course, totally unsupported.

Then, I tried this patch, but I still get this:

I also read on the AUR comments that if I change the checksum it's possible to install it:
I have 64bit up and running but i had to change the checksum to fa54d8f7e7be7c7f04cbc52cf3e693ff. (Made the checksum out of the downloaded file, i know, not a good idea, but it works)
Maybe new version?

Self-created stacks disappear and can't find folders in Finder

Hello, a few times now I've lost stacked folders I've created in the docks. I haven't been able to figure out what's happening exactly, but it seems to have something to do with the desktop display. Most recently I went into Display in System Preferences to run a calibration. Without clicking on anything, the display resolution changed (which of course I changed back), my desktop image was gone (again, no problem to fix) and two question marks replaced the stack folders I created in the dock. (My Documents and Downloads folders were not affected.)
After looking through some discussion topics, I created another stack folder (yes, to the right side of the divide) in the dock just to test things out. I went into the User file. I see the Documents and Downloads folders in there, but not the stacks I created.
So--this is because the stack is just a shortcut, right? Ok, I can get that. However! The stuff that was in those other folders I created is totally gone. So where WAS the contents of those stack folders before the folders were lost? After I dragged the folders down to the dock I deleted the orig folders off the desktop to clean things up--not realizing they were short cuts and thinking this was a great way to keep my desktop nice and clean.
Because of a separate issue I stupidly emptied the trash before trying to completely solve this problem. So, I'll never know if I would've been able to retrieve those lost items. More importantly, I want to understand how this works so I can prevent this from happening again. It seems to me like these folders are so fragile. Therefore, of limited use. If that's the case, fine, it just seemed so nice to be able to put folders down there instead of hanging on the desktop.
Thanks!

Yes, they are shortcuts, or aliases as we call 'em on the Mac. If you delete the original, and it sounds like you did, they no longer point to anything and once the Dock wakes up to that you will see a question mark where your stack was. You can create aliases yourself anywhere, or in the Dock or Sidebar, and then delete the aliases, and the original folder and its contents are unchanged. That's not what you did. You created an alias and then deleted the original.
What you should do is create folders inside your home folder, rather than on the Desktop, then drag those folders into the Dock. You will then have a tidy Desktop, and quick access to the folders from the Dock.

There is a disk that came with the Suite called "CONTENT." It contains FONTS. I followed the instructions to INSTALL, but do not seem to have a single CLASSIC CURSIVE FONT now. Can anyone help? I had about 3 of these in the past.

Sorry I didn't see your response earlier. Here are the screen shots you requested:
#1 Is what appears on my screen when I put the disk in.
#2 Is the screen after I selected "English" as my language
#3 Is the screen I got after selecting "Goodies"
#4 Is the screen I got after selecting "Fonts"
#5 Is the list of fonts I get after opening the folder "Adobe"
#6 Is the step to install the fonts: "Select all, Right-click and select "Install."
These all seem to appear in my font choices for InDesign, however, I am missing the three fancy script options I used to use all the time. The kind you use for invitations and such.
Here is a screen shot of my InDesign fonts. In the past, there were two such fonts towards the end of my font list that are no longer there. I really don't seem to have any traditional script-like fonts in my list anymore.
Are these images even legible?
Thanks for your help. I look forward to your reply.
