icaclient

Another install, another drama getting icaclient working.

So I followed the instructions in my previous post and it worked OK to a point. Firstly, I've learned enough since I the last time that I'm nervous about chucking in repositories willy-nilly especially the sid repo and wheezy repo in the same breath!

Anyway, I pushed on recklessly and got ica client installed and working as per the instructions, but it was coming up broken due to an unresolved dependency (that synaptic wouldn't tell me!). apt-get instsall -f didn't work.

Long story short:

sudo dpkg --configure -a 

told me the dependencies that weren't fulfilled

and I just did

sudo vim /var/lib/dpkg/status

/icaclient

and deleted the dependencies. Hacky, but I don't care. Then I removed the additional repos from /etc/apt/sources-list so I didn't get all clashing updates from stable and unstable debian repos.

So now citrix works as well as I need it to and my packages are up-to-date as far as Mint's concerned.

Phew.

pdf to png/jpg/etc

Not often I learn something at work that I need to put on here. Anyway, imagemagick: convert -density 600 input_file.pdf output_file.png Gives me a lovely hi-def version of the image. Too hi, probs, but at least it's relatively easy to resize (down) once it's in the appropriate image format.

diskfilter writes are not supported

http://askubuntu.com/questions/468466/why-this-occurs-error-diskfilter-writes-are-not-supported " It's a BUG! This is a bug that occurs in the most recent version of Ubuntu Server (Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS), when you create the boot partition (or the root partition, when the boot partition doesn't exists) inside a LVM or a RAID partition. You can get more info about this bug in Ubuntu Launchpad: Bug #1274320 "Error: diskfilter writes are not supported" . Why does this bug occur? When the system is booting, GRUB reads ( load_env ) data in /boot/grub/grubenv . This file is called GRUB Environment Block . From the GRUB Manual: It is often useful to be able to remember a small amount of information from one boot to the next. [...] At boot time, the load_env command (see load_env) loads environment variables from it, and the save_env (see save_env) command saves environment variables to it. ...

no sound in Papers Please

No sound at all, actually. First I installed alsa-utils, checked alsamixer master was not muted. Installed pulseaudio and pavucontrol. This gave me sound on youtube but not the game. Eventually found this tip in the hotline miami AUR comments: On x86_64 I had to install lib32-libpulse to get sound working. Without the package there was that error: ALSA lib dlmisc.c:252:(snd1_dlobj_cache_get) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib32/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so AL lib: (EE) alsa_open_playback: Could not open playback device 'default': No such device or address   https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture#Unmuting_the_channels https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hotlinemiami/
