Progress on Unity under Arch Linux!

I am moving from the repo that rleyh had to the source from github that you posted, in order to keep my system more up to date, and I decided to just install all packages from the github repo. When compiling gtk3-ubuntu, I get the following output:

I'm not sure if this is something specific to my system or the PKGBUILD file in general, but I thought I'd let you know. Thanks!

EDIT:

D'oh I'm an idiot, I just noticed you have a warning about the same exact thing.

Carry on... (and thanks again!)

Under zeitgeist-datasources, I go to compile and it said I didn't have xulrunner installed (I thought it was strange since I have zeitgeist-datasources installed from the repo and it seems like it works. So I installed xulrunner, ran makepkg and I get the following output:

The directory /usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-9.0.1/bin/ exists, however xpidl does not. I don't believe I'd have conflicting dependencies installed or something like that, although maybe the version I have is newer than what this package was expecting? I noticed zeitgeist-datasources hasn't been updated in a while.

I'm getting the same problem too. I'm not sure this package is even needed anymore; it doesn't seem to be in the Ubuntu repos:

I got a new notebook which i need to install arch linux first, also i'm preparing i686 packages. Because of this the repo is a bit out of date recently.

Question: I'm trying to compile everything from the github repository, but it wants me to use a 1.10 xorg-server package, while I'm using a 1.13 series. I suppose it would break everything, not to mention that I'm not sure that a 1.10 opensource ati driver would work on my pc. What kind of patch should I apply if I wanted to use a 1.13 xorg-server [&Co.] package? I have troubles finding documentation about it.
Thank you everybody for your hard work in this porting!

The Xorg 1.10.4 packages aren't really required. It's used for Ubuntu's UTouch multitouch framework. If you're using Xorg 1.13.*, I assume that it supports XInput 2.2. UTouch currently uses XInput 2.1 (the patch only works on Xorg 1.10.4), but they will port it to 2.2 in the near future (Xorg 1.11.* with Ubuntu patches, or Xorg 1.12+).

For now, you can just ignore the packages Unity 3D should run fine without it, but Unity 2D won't load.

olorian · 2012-01-09 21:21:29

Thank you for your fast answer!
As I though something like that, I simply removed that Xorg dependency from the relative PKGBUILD files and went on compiling. I'm at compiz-plugins-main right now. I assume the qt packages aren't required as well if you only want to run Unity 3D?
I only want to test Unity 3D, I'm glad I have the luck not having to mess up with Xorg.
I've found a pair of mismatching version numbers in some PKGBUILDS, which is only natural because of ubuntu modifying their packages. Where can I write them to you, if you want them? -)

You're welcome You're right of the Qt packages. If you aren't going to use Unity 2D, then you won't need them. All the Qt packages do is put the appmenu into the panel and make Qt appindicators work. If you don't use Qt applications, then you don't need to install them.

About the version numbers: you can post them here or create an issue here (https://github.com/chenxiaolong/Unity-for-Arch/issues/). I have email notifications turned on, so I'll see it no matter where you post it

olorian · 2012-01-09 21:34:57

Eheh, I realized that, since I've corrected them as I've met them, I now don't have a clean track of what I did, so I'll clone a new git tree in another folder tomorrow [it's pretty late here], and make a list of the mismatched packages and their connections. Thank you again! -)

Hey, sorry if this is trivial, but when trying to install unity from the AUR I get the following error:

-- Installing: /tmp/yaourt-tmp-achille/aur-unity/pkg/unity-common/usr/lib/compiz/libunitymtgrabhandles.so
mv: cannot stat `/tmp/yaourt-tmp-achille/aur-unity/pkg/unity-common/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.freedesktop.compiz.*.gschema.xml': No such file or directory

Someone else posted the same error in this thread but didn't get a response, if I'm not mistaken.
Thanks in advance.

olorian · 2012-01-14 11:24:38

As I had trouble running the Unity session [compiz was taking 100% cpu while showing nothing but the desktop background.. any clue/hint for that?], I uninstalled everything in order to repeat the experiment later.
However, I still have three files in Firefox's download history: gnome-settings-daemon_3.2.2-0ubuntu7.debian.tar.gz, nautilus_3.2.1-2ubuntu6.debian.tar.gz and compiz-plugins-main_0.9.6-0ubuntu4.2.debian.tar.gz. I was under the impression that I had to download some more files and edit the related PKGBUILDs consequentially, but maybe I just have a bad memory.
In the meantime, ubuntu changed them once more, so now their versions are:

gnome-settings-daemon_3.2.2-0ubuntu10.debian.tar.gz
nautilus_3.2.1-2ubuntu8.debian.tar.gz
compiz-plugins-main_0.9.6-0ubuntu4.2.debian.tar.gz [unchanged]
gtk+2.0_2.24.8-2ubuntu3.debian.tar.gz [I don't have it in my download history but in my navigation one]

For compiz-plugins-main, the PKGBUILD hadn't accepted the new .debian.tar.gz file until I manually edited the package url line, removing the reference to _ubuntu_rel. Maybe that's because of the dot in the ubuntu tag.
Of course it's necessary to update the sha512 codes as well. Here they are:

Hope that helps!
I'd suggest putting a line about it in your README, such as: "packages coming from the ubuntu repos might have changed their names due to ubuntu revisions. Go here and browse manually to check"

Unfortunately the AUR packages won't work. You will need to install from City-Busz's repository at http://ayatana.info or compile from my git repo at https://github.com/chenxiaolong/Unity-for-Arch. Different pieces of Unity and its dependencies are maintained by different people in the AUR making it hard to make changes required for Unity to work properly

Thanks for the info! I've just finished reinstalling Arch Linux yesterday and haven't had a chance to compile Unity yet. I will fix those packages as soon as possible, although it may take a little long this time because of the update to the new Unity 5

chenxiaolong · 2012-01-20 19:23:57

Good news and bad news.

Good news:

Ubuntu is about to upgrade to Xorg 1.11, so only xorg-server-ubuntu, xf86-input-evdev, and xf86-input-synaptics will need to be compiled for multitouch functionality.

Bad news:

A patch for Qt is required for uTouch to work, so qt-ubuntu will need to be compiled once again.

There's a bug in nautilus: nautilus: error while loading shared libraries: libunity.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This should fix it for the time being;
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libunity.so.9 /usr/lib/libunity.so.6

That was fast! Thanks!

Is is me, or did you just reply to yourself

Anyway, the problem can be solved by recompiling nautilus-ubuntu. I suggest recompiling every package though. I pushed a huge update yesterday that changed just about every package. Make sure you remove that symlink before upgrading. The commit can be found here: https://github.com/chenxiaolong/Unity-f … 160550723d (Be careful! It will slow down the browser a lot since it's so long ).

Hey seems like there's a new version of a file or something on the server. When building xorg-server-ubuntu I got the following output:

Is there already a Unity repository available? Or is it still required to compile from source?

RetroX · 2012-01-29 21:08:14

It appears that the Ayatana repository is i686-only...

I really wish that the Ubuntu developers would work on making their software more... portable. Having to compile so many patched, non-Unity packages is simply ridiculous.

quasifilmie · 2012-01-29 21:25:50

@RetroX if you do not want to compile, look at this post. I do not use this repo and do not know if it is kept up-to-date.

The repo is pretty up-to-date, actually. Thanks! I'll go and try it out right now.

EDIT: ...and that didn't work at all. Was a nice try, though.

What's your problem with the repo?
