Citrix ICAClient didn't integrate with Firefox on Ubuntu Natty A2...

Citrix ICAClient didn't integrate with Firefox on my install of Ubuntu Natty Alpha 2. Not sure why, but resolved it by pointing it to the correct binary:
/usr/lib/ICAClient/wfica

Installing M-Audio Ozone on 64 Studio / Ubuntu Hardy

I had to install the drivers for my M-Audio Ozone again today and thought I would put the steps in a nice little package here.

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install madfuload
$ sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/42-madfuload.rules

Comment or delete it all out and put in this line:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0763", SYSFS{idProduct}=="2808", RUN+="/usr/local/sbin/madfuload -l -3 -f /usr/local/share/usb/maudio/ma008100.bin -D $env{DEVNAME}"

$ sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart

Plug in and power on the Ozone.

$ dmesg |tail
should see a line like "usbcore: registered new interface driver snd-usb-audio"
$ aplay -l
You should see the Ozone listed as a sound device.

Happy jammin. :)

Installing Eclipse Galileo 3.5 on 64 Studio aka Ubuntu Hardy

The eclipse package that is in the repo for 64 studio is the old 3.2 from Ubuntu Hardy.  Let's get the newer Galileo Eclipse installed. Start by opening a terminal and installing the needed Sun Java packages.

brian@64studio:~$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts

Download the latest package of your desired variety from http://eclipse.org/downloads/.

brian@64studio:~$ tar xvfz eclipse-jee-galileo-SR1-linux-gtk.tar.gz

Your version may differ here.

brian@64studio:~$ sudo mv eclipse /opt/
brian@64studio:~$ sudo chown -R root:root eclipse
brian@64studio:~$ sudo chmod -R +r eclipse
brian@64studio:~$ sudo chmod +x `sudo find eclipse -type d`

brian@64studio:~$ sudo touch /usr/bin/eclipse
brian@64studio:~$ sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/eclipse
brian@64studio:~$ gksudo gedit /usr/bin/eclipse

Paste the following into the file:

#!/bin/sh
#export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME="/usr/lib/mozilla/"
export ECLIPSE_HOME="/opt/eclipse"

$ECLIPSE_HOME/eclipse $*


brian@64studio:~$ gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/eclipse.desktop

Paste the following into the file:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Eclipse
Comment=Eclipse IDE
Exec=eclipse
Icon=/opt/eclipse/icon.xpm
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=GNOME;Application;Development;
StartupNotify=true

Depending on your Java situation, you may have to tell it what version to use:

Start it up with:
brian@64studio:~$ eclipse
or goto applications > Programming > Eclipse!

64 Studio 3.0 beta 3 Install and Setup

So I got a nice big hard drive for my laptop this week and am reinstalling XP and 64 Studio 3.0 beta 3 from scratch. I installed XP first and then 64 studio so GRUB would be my boot loader.
I booted from the install disc and installed normally with a partition for /, a partition for /home and 2 gig swap space. First thing I did when I got booted up was a 'sudo apt-get update' and I encountered a "partial upgrade" error. I remembered this was solved in the forum from the last time I installed. Steps to fix this beta 2/3 bug are at the post below.

http://www.64studio.com/node/1072

I got an error I haven't gotten before:

Setting up acpid (1.0.4-5ubuntu9.3) ...
* Stopping Hardware abstraction layer hald [ OK ]
* Loading ACPI modules... [ OK ]
* Starting ACPI services... acpid: can't open /proc/acpi/event: No such file or directory
invoke-rc.d: initscript acpid, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing acpid (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Which I am working on solving.

My next steps are to install some of my favorite apps and restore my home folder with my audio project files. I will also be building Ardour 2.8 from source with LV2 support and ardour-x-change support to import AAF files from Pro Tools. More later. :)
