Installing Amsn svn : A repository for Ubuntu users

[Stemp]

If it's Intrepid indeed there could be some problems.

Could you check if farsight2 package is really installed ?

Code:

apt-cache policy libgstfarsight0.10-0

The fact is I only backported farsight2 0.0.9, so amsn 0.98.1 could be compiled. But I didn't backported the entire gstreamer framework.

Installed: 0.0.9-1~iiamsn5
  To be installed(it says something here but its in greek so don't know how they say it in english...): 0.0.9-1~iiamsn5
 Version Table(still  this is my translation):
 *** 0.0.9-1~iiamsn5 0
        500 http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     0.0.2-1 0

Strange ! if farsight2 is installed I don't understand why aMsn is complaining.

When you set your audio/video preferences there is no problems ? no messages ?

PS : BTW the english translation is candidate
Little tip try LANG=C command eg :

Code:

LANG=C apt-cache policy libgstfarsight0.10-0

arsight : Preparing
Farsight debug : Error: Error while creating new audio_session (1): Could not create the valve element
Farsight Prepare error :

maybe needs a newer version ....i dont know...based on this http://www.amsn-project.net/wiki/Farsight could it be the priviledges?cause i run it as plain user

[Stemp]

it's not privileges, it's a problem with valve element.

Do you have the gstreamer0.10-plugins-good package ? What version ?

Code:

apt-cache policy gstreamer0.10-plugins-good

If you have it, do you have the valve library in it ?

Code:

dpkg -L gstreamer0.10-plugins-good  | grep valve

[apostolos_]

gstreamer0.10-plugins-good:
  Installed: 0.10.10.4-1ubuntu1.2
  Candidate: 0.10.10.4-1ubuntu1.2
  Version table:
 *** 0.10.10.4-1ubuntu1.2 0
        500 http://gr.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid-updates/main Packages
        500 http://security.ubuntu.com intrepid-security/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     0.10.10.4-1ubuntu1 0
        500 http://gr.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages

dpkg -L gstreamer0.10-plugins-good  | grep valve returns nothing

Bad bad, related to http://www.amsn-project.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6425

libvalve was removed from farsight2 in version 0.0.9 and moved in gstreamer0.10-plugins-good. But your version is too old.

NOPE ***** If you're not scared to break everything you could try the PPA for next-media (Don't add this PPA just install the plugins-good package). **** Too old

If it's possible I will try to update the aMSN PPA version (but the PPA creation is currently very very slow).

gstreamer0.10-plugins-good-dbg_0.10.13-2~intrepid1_i386.deb  this package?What would be the consequences...and how do i roll back from this?

according to amsn wiki it needs gstreamer plugins-good 0.10.15 or newer....where can i find them?


found them herehttp://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/src/gst-plugins-good/ downloaded the 0.10.16 but no deb package....guess needs to be compiled...right?

Too old, I edited my message

I don't know, I guess I will have to try to build it.

Or you could try the karmic package : http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/gst-plugins-good0.10/0.10.15-2ubuntu1

But I don't know if it's possible to install it (dependencies). BTW why are you still on Intrepid ?

[apostolos_]

2 reasons....have to make backup for a fresh installl but need to remember what progs i had....and second ati graphics....X1200 for 3d...you think i ll need properiarity?

1° : http://www.110mb.com/forum/how-to-on-ubuntu-save-the-package-list-and-use-it-to-reinstall-packages-later-t22332.0.html by example

2° : from RadeonXpress doc : Since Ubuntu 8.10 3D and desktop effects works out of the box with the open source -ati driver.  But you should try with the a live-cd

[apostolos_]

the thing is that if you have a system that works i have the opinion not to change ....but i really like ubuntu 9.10! oh and i liked your links...and i think you can have the "packagelst" graphically through synaptic right?i am on a plain user account so cant check it
