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.

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/

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.

Crunchbang Changes

Added sftp://root@192.168.1.107/media shares  to ~/.gtk-bookmarks  to create a shortcut to pi media centre in the thunar sidebar (shortcut view only). Upon subsequent reboot that has disappeared, which I need to investigate. Added  KERNEL=="dm-*",ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE}="1" to  /etc/udev/rules.d/99-dmapper-hide.rules to remove lvm partitions from the thunar sidebar. I was concerned that I'd have to comment this out and reboot if I wanted access to, say, my Arch install's home folder, but no fear: sudo lvdisplay /dev/linuxVG lists the lvm partitions (where lunuxVG is my volume group) sudo mount /dev/linuxVG/OS3-home /mnt/arch_home mounts the volume at a previously created directory. I also want to get rid of the unused Network shortcut, but the only way I've found so far involves recompiling thunar, which I can't be arsed with. Preferable would be to use samba to connect to an actual windows network with, if that's the way to
