Vagrant + vagrant-libvirt plugin

Hi,
I'm having some issues with installing the vagrant-libvirt plugin.
I've installed vagrant from AUR with yaourt and try to install the plugin with
$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-libvirt
The following error shows up:
Installing the 'vagrant-libvirt' plugin. This can take a few minutes...

Libvirt has been installed on my system and is built against the system curl libraries, but vagrant is trying to use the embedded curl libraries in /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib/
I have "confirmed" this behaviour by removing the curl libs from /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib/ and /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib/pkgconfig/.
After removing the libs and pkgconfig file the installation of vagrant-libvirt succeeds.
$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-libvirt
Installing the 'vagrant-libvirt' plugin. This can take a few minutes...
Installed the plugin 'vagrant-libvirt (0.0.5)'!
I know this isn't the right way to do this, so I wanted to ask if anyone knows how this should be fixed / worked around in a correct fashion.

I had the same problem with vagrant-kvm.
And deleting libcurl was a temporary workaround for me too.
Here are the files which have to be removed (for copy'n'paste):
$ mv /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib/libcurl.so{,.backup}
$ mv /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib/libcurl.so.4{,.backup}
$ mv /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib/libcurl.so.4.3.0{,.backup}
$ mv /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib/pkgconfig/libcurl.pc{,backup}
This problem could be solved by creating custom ruby-libvirt gem for vagrant, which links against the system libcurl (by using LIBRARY_PATH).

Packer Arch: a template for building Arch base boxes for Vagrant

I thought some people might be interested in my Packer Arch project. It is a bare bones Packer template and installation script that can be used to generate a Vagrant base box for Arch Linux. The template works for both Vagrant's default VirtualBox provider as well as the VMware provider.
If you're not familiar with Vagrant, it's a way to "create and configure lightweight, reproducible, and portable development environments"...basically an incredibly easy way to spawn temporary virtual machines that you can use for testing/developing anything. In my case I launch Arch VMs to test out Ansible automated configuration tasks that I use to manage some personal servers. Anyway, hope somebody else finds it useful.
https://github.com/elasticdog/packer-arch

Absolutely right. I purposefully wanted to recreate a system that you'd see either out in the wild when purchasing a VPS, or what you'd have after performing a fresh installation from the latest ISO on your own hardware. Even though my end goal was to test Ansible, I didn't include its dependency of Python 2 directly in the build process, but kept things as minimal as possible and use a bootstrap script to handle dependencies after the fact. If you're interested in using Ansible to manage Arch hosts, I did write a quick blog post on my bootstrap process:
Developing Ansible Playbooks for Arch Linux with Vagrant
...and another project I published called Hyperboriarch has some good examples of doing initial configuration tasks with Ansible (securing ssh, configuring ntp, simple iptables firewall setup, etc.):

[SOLVED] vagrant installation difficulties

preface : new to arch
I've had some trouble getting vagrant installed, and would really appreciate some pointers.
Installing via the AUR package / makepkg results in the following errors. I'm only including this for reference since this is specific to that package

I did install libffi :
sudo pacman -S libffi
However that did not resolve the dependencies.
There doesn't appear to be a separate -dev library.
Likewise, I attempted to create symlinks to the ffi.h files, e.g.
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 Apr 25 17:30 ffi.h -> /usr/lib/libffi-3.0.13/include/ffi.h
I really like arch as a distro, but I need vagrant running for work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Those are packages, but they are also in the AUR, not the official repos. If you bypass pacman when installing gems, pacman won't know they are installed.
sweet, that helps a lot!
this resolves most of the issues pertaining to that package (i.e. dependencies) with the exception of ruby-ffi
attempting to make the AUR package results in the same error as when running bundle on the ruby repo :

[SOLVED] Problems in using vagrant

Hi everyone,
I have just installed vagrant (pacman -S vagrant).
But I'm not able to successfully execute the "vargant box add" command.
[leonardo@ARCHLEO vagrant]$ vagrant box add ubuntu chef/ubuntu-12.04
The box 'chef/ubuntu-12.04' could not be found or
could not be accessed in the remote catalog. If this is a private
box on Vagrant Cloud, please verify you're logged in via
`vagrant login`. Also, please double-check the name. The expanded
URL and error message are shown below:
URL: ["https://vagrantcloud.com/chef/ubuntu-12.04"]
Error:
[leonardo@ARCHLEO vagrant]$ vagrant box add ubuntu https://vagrantcloud.com/chef/ubuntu-12.04
==> box: Adding box 'ubuntu' (v0) for provider:
box: Downloading: https://vagrantcloud.com/chef/ubuntu-12.04
An error occurred while downloading the remote file. The error
message, if any, is reproduced below. Please fix this error and try
again.
Both commands above were triggered from folder /home/leonardo/workspaces/polignu/radar/deployment/vagrant.
I have also tried to donwload the box and execute box add from local file (precise32.box is a local file):
[leonardo@ARCHLEO ~]$ vagrant box add ubuntu precise32.box
==> box: Adding box 'ubuntu' (v0) for provider:
box: Downloading: file:///home/leonardo/precise32.box
An error occurred while downloading the remote file. The error
message, if any, is reproduced below. Please fix this error and try
again.
I have also with other boxes and the results were the same.
I have done a large research about the problem, and I've found no solution.
The closest scenarios I found were solved by properly setting permissions to ~/.vagrant.d or not using special characters on the path to the vagrant folder. But any of them is my case.
It looks like some kind of curl underlying problem, but I have no more clues...
Any help is appreciated.
Tks,
Leonardo Leite

Never mind... I removed vagrant package, updated arch, installed again vagrant, and it worked!

Vagrant - Cannot download arch core packages

Hello,
I am trying to set up an archlinux Vagrant box on my mac and am having some trouble. I cannot any core packages that come directly from an arch mirror. I have tried switching the default kernel server to the uwaterloo one (as I am in waterloo) and I cannot download them from there. I also tried a number of servers and cannot download packages from anywhere. I can however download all non core packages (packages that aren't from one of the core arch package servers). The vagrant file has been made by other people and I have verified that it works on their computers. I can also use wget to resolve the host.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
Edit:
I let the package manager finish trying to download all files from pacman -Syu and it failed every file. It returned the error failed to commit transaction (download library error) at the end
Edit 2:
I have tried a different Vagrant box that has been confirmed working and I still have no access to the packages
Edit 3:
Apparently the subnetwork I was on (School network -> Work subnetwork) blocks the packages? doesn't really make sense since my desktop is on the same network and can download the packages fine. Switched the school network and it works.

To respond to ewaller's suggestions:
Neither Ctrl + Alt + F12 elicits a response, nor Ctrl + Alt + F1-F6.
In my best attempt at trying to provide more information, I've used my android to take a video of the laptop starting up, up to the blank black screen, hopefully it can be of use. On a mildly related note, I think it's weird that I can see myself in the reflection of the screen once it goes black, but I'm trying to fix my laptop here, so bear with me
Video is .3gp format, usual mobile video format, VLC can play it.

If I can get away without having to do a reinstall, then I'd prefer not to, as the installation seemed to go off without a hitch. But if it appears that's what the actual issue is, I can certainly reinstall.
Thanks.

I had the same problem, but with vagrant and the libvirt provider. I fixed it temporarily by re-building libvirt with a patch that removes the code that throws that error. It looks like in an attempt to fix this bug they went overboard checking if a valid firewall backend was loaded. I commented out that section and everything seems to work fine. Obviously this is not a permanent fix, but I don't know enough about libvirt's codebase to fix it properly. Anyways here is the patch:

Unable to capture startup and shutdown event of Photoshop in automation Plugin.

Hi,
I am creating an automation plugin and I want to register some events. I have seen listener plugin sample to register event in startup and unregister event in shutdown. I have used same code in my plugin but I am unable to capture the startup nad shutdown event of Photoshop. On clicking the menu item of my plugin the calls come inside the AutoPluginMain but during the startup or shutdown of plugin, the calls does not come inside the AutoPluginMain.
I am unable to detect the cause of the problem. Can someone please giude me??
Thanks in advance.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the suggestion.
Yes, I am working on Windows. As you suggested, I compiled .rc file but the compile option for .r file was disabled. After compiling the .rc file, I again rebuild the complete project and tested my build. But still I was not able to achive the desired result.
Any other thing that I need to do to make it work?
Thanks

Flash 12.0.0.77 plugin installs to wrong folder

In Vista x64, using either Firefox 28 or Firefox 24.4 ESR, the plugin installer (one downloaded from Adobe distribution) installs the 32 bit .dll file to \system32\macromedia\flash\ folder;
installs the 64 bit .dll to: \sysWOW64\macromedia\flash\ folder. So, they're exacly reversed.
I uninstalled it completely - went well. Then removed 1 remaining file in one of the above paths, then reinstalled. Did the same thing.
Before I did all this - I was *very sporadically* seeing the FlashPlayerPlugin_12_0_0_77.exe file, running (kinda "sitting") in background, in task manager. It never came to foreground w/ a UI, asking for anything. Couldn't figure out what it was, until started looking in the installation folders.
That's what lead to discovery the files were in wrong folders.
Anyone heard of this?
BTW, "Nayana" of Adobe Support chat, is a few bricks shy of a load. Or I am. I couldn't create an acct for forums. She kept saying, you don't need an acct - "just post your question. Other people will answer it."

EDIT: Seems there's no error in Flash installing to wrong folders, only error in my brain. Why didn't someone stop me from embarrassing myself?
System32 (in a 64 bit OS / architecture) is for 64 bit drivers, files; SysWOW64 is for 32 bit apps running in 64 bit OS.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WoW64
WoW64 (Windows 32-bit on Windows 64-bit) is a subsystem of the Windows operating system capable of running 32-bit applications and is included on all 64-bit versions of Windows
Also, http://www.samlogic.net/articles/32-64-bit-windows-folder-x86-syswow64.htm (section on SysWoW64)
End Edit.
Thanks for info on attaching images. A bit different than most forums. There's no "preview post" before submitting?
Screenshots of the 2 flash folder contents.
NOTE: I attached full FlashInstall.log earlier. I opened the 1.25 MB (text) file in an editor - copied contents to clipboard > paste to forum reply screen. Immediately locked up Firefox like a big dog. Couldn't perform any functions in Fx - not even reload or close browser. At same time, Fx memory use was continually climbing; to nearly 2 GB when I killed it. Won't make that mistake again.
Been many yrs since Fx locked up, doing anything. That aside, Adobe is definitely "different" than most forums. Almost like a person w/ no $ to use one of the many forum softwares available.

How do I use VLC web plugin 2.0.6.0

I,m trying to watch some RTSP files. A google search turned up how to configure VLC to play these files. I followed the instructions and it worked although with a clumsy copy and paste the video URL proceedure. I then found a suggestion that this plugin might simplfy the process. Problem is, I can't figure out how to use it. can someone help?

If you don't get a solution here, try asking on the VLC forums.

IMovie 6 HD Expanded Text Options Plugin

I would like to have more flexibility in the use of text in titles in iMovie 6 HD. I'm looking for a plugin that will allow for more user control of text including multiple fonts, multiple sizes, etc in a single title. Is there such a plugin available that would allow more "word-type" text manipulation possibilities?

Check out this plug-in from cf/x:
http://www.imovieplugins.com/titlehome.html
Click on 'Simple Caption' in the l/h column. Note that it seems to only work with Postscript fonts.
You can test it for free, or buy it for only $6!
I use several of their plug-ins, they work great, but I haven't tried this one (no, I am not related to them!)

Forms Web application is not working on FireFox Browser-with java plugin

Hi All,
We are running custom build forms application using forms 10g and application server 10 g Rel 2. We are using Java Plug-in 1.5.0_06. The application is working fine before recent update from firefox .Now it's not working and keep on asking additional plug in required and taking to java.sun.com for installing the plug in. Even after installing when we access the application it will do the same thing. I tried uninstalling the firefox with the older version and with diffrent java plugin versions.. but the problem still there.. any help will be mush appriciated...
Thanks...

How can I use One Plugin with all his outputs on the region

Hi All
In Cubase I have a PlugIn Manager and when I have a Plugin like Omnisphere with 8 outputs I can route each output on one sequencer region.
Can I do This as same in Logic?
Exemple
I will open a new Midi Instrument on a region. Than I Know I have 8 outputs and than I will have 8 Lines and each line I will create Midi comandos for each output separatly.
can I do this? Or any Idee how can I do this?
Thanks for help
Marco

When you load a plug-in that's capable of multi-output, you do have a menu choice about that when you load it, yeah ?
You can create the additional channels that you need in the mixer - press the '+' button on the channel strip and it does it for you.

Creative mediasource, plugins, audiosrobbler etc

Hey, im Vikki
So, i've got my Xtra 30gb, i've had it for well over a year now, its all fine and dandy except from a few scratches from all its adventures
I upgraded everything i could for my nomad yesterday. The mediasource especially, because i didnt install it on my laptop because i've never needed it on here. I upgraded the firmware to .20, but i've heard that its dodgy and that i should roll back to ., is this true?
The reason i installed MediaSource was because i wondered if it had a plugin API.
I belong to a website called last.fm. Last.fm is a service (a free service) that tracks your music listens. It then makes graphs, charts, and things according to what you listen to. With thousands of users, top charts are made, etc. And you can also use their radio service - it creates a radio for you based on what youve already listened to. It suggests new tracks that you would like depending on your neighbours tastes - people who have a similar music interst to you. theres a lot more than that. Its a huge community, and a lot of it is community based.
The way it tracks your music listens is througha plug in that sits nicely onto your player. Wmp, winamp, itunes, whatever, theres loads because theyre mostly made by the users, for the users. you can see the plug in working, you can see it submitting tracks to last.fm. Its called an audioscrobbler plug in, because audioscrobbler.com and last.fm have just merged together.
With the iTunes audioscrobbler plugin, it not only records what you listen to in itunes, it also grabs what youve played from the iPod from when you were out and about when the iPod is later connected to iTunes.
Back to my original enquiry. Is there any way to make plug ins for the media source? i know a lot of people on the last.fm forum who were wondering about this - it means being able to plug the creative in, hook it up to media source, play songs from it and free up tonnes of gb on our harddri'ves. Even if it doesnt record a cache of what youve listened to when the player was away from the computer - a general audioscrobbler plug in would be brilliant.
Incase youre confused, heres some links. I think i've explained what i want in more words than i needed. Hopefully if you get nothing much from this thread you might at least get a chance to try last.fms brilliant service, because its for music lovers.
last.fm is last.fms site
http://www.last.fm/forum/276/_/43945 thats the thread which started it all
http://www.last.fm/user/vikkilea/ thats my music profile
im a bit scared about posting this, so be nice.
And im not sure if links are allowed, please understand that im not advertising, i just want some help on something that needs the links to explain, i think... and also, some of you might be last.fm members anyway...

I've not heard of any specific problem with the Xtra. I know the Touch EQ is broken with the latest firmware. I'm not sure if this happens with the Xtra also.

It would be a great idea. I'm an Audioscrobbler user. As Audioscrobbler say though it would need someone to write it outside of their company.

Windows 7 Desktop error message "Can't initialize plugins directory" - Blocked from Installing/uninstalling anything

Blocked from running *.exe
files. Blocked in Control Panel from Uninstalling anything.
Consistently returns: "Can't initialize plugins directory"
What I tried:
1. Safe Mode with Network
2. File cleanup from C Drive Tools
3. Environmental variable: changed
to this c:/TEMP
c:/TMP (Created TEMP folder
on
directory tree.)
4. Googled error-- known
issue but fixes do not work. (Created New Profile, SFC Scan
of Windows files, moved TEMP folder,
etc)
5. Run as administrator
6. Started after the support desk for ACT client management software uninstalled SQL to restore access to a CLIENT database that was lost for reasons unknown. So it appears some damage was done.
Question is, what was damaged and how to fix it, if this caused this problem and it was not malware fiddling with
registry.

Hi,
You can open Control Panel\System and Security, click
Event Viewer under Administrator Tools to check if some logs record recent errors.
Also you can start computer and typing F8, click Repair Your Computer to perform
System Restore.
