Hi chenxiaolong!

I'm trying to compile the gtk2-ubuntu package with your PKGBUILDs and I get the error:

  -> Downloading gtk+2.0_2.24.6-0ubuntu6.debian.tar.gz...

I'd really like to get Unity working on something besides Ubuntu, but I'm quite new to Arch.

Thanks for any help!

Hi aabmass!

Welcome to Arch! The reason that error message occurs is because when Ubuntu uploads a new version of a package, they delete all the previous versions. I've updated the PKGBUILD, so it should all be good now

Awesome! If you have any problems, just let me know, and I'll see what I can do

Thanks! Actually, I'm having the same problem with the PKGBUILD for gtk3-ubuntu (http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/m … ian.tar.gz).

It should be fixed now I've downgraded the GTK 3 package to Ubuntu 11.10's version, which is the same major version as Arch Linux's - v3.2.0 vs v3.2.2. It should work just fine.

Looking at some packages, there will probably be more packages that are going to fail Ubuntu just updated some of the Gnome packages in 12.04 to development version 3.3, but I don't want to have people upgrade to unstable versions of packages.

You're right, I had the same problem with a few packages but I managed to fix the pkgbuilds on my own

However, I'm getting an error when building 'indicator-multiload:'

/usr/bin/ld: cpuicondata.o: undefined reference to symbol 'round@@GLIBC_2.2.5'
/usr/bin/ld: note: 'round@@GLIBC_2.2.5' is defined in DSO /lib/libm.so.6 so try adding it to the linker command line

make: *** [all] Error 2

I'm guessing that this package is not entirely essential, so I'm going to go on building the other packages.
Thanks for any help!

Fixed I actually saw this error in the comments for other AUR packages. It seems the latest update to binutils broke something...

Thanks! indicator-multiload (and everything else) compiled fine for me! I'm now using unity in arch, it's working well! I'll post back here if I find any problems.

Thanks again chenxiaolong and other contributors!

Awesome! If you want a more make your desktop look identical to Ubuntu 11.10, here are links to the Ubuntu theme and LightDM

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35237 #Icon theme
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35238 #Ambiance and Radiance themes
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=53329 #LightDM
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=52877 #LightDM Unity Greeter/Theme

EDIT: Oh yeah, if anyone has any ideas for a monochrome Arch Linux icon, please post it here! I think it would fit better in the Unity launcher

Thanks, looks identical now except that everything is running much quicker in arch

Hi chenxiaolong!

Does your unity support other languages?

Not yet...but I'll add it right now Check for a new git commit within the next 20 minutes

Edit: The unity-panel-service bug is back, the indicators crash.

Hello is this full Unity integration, or there are some gaps between Arch and Ubuntu?

It is mostly integrated. GTK 2.0, GTK 3.0, and QT 4 are all patched along with Compiz and Gnome packages (for global appmenus, etc). However, certain things still aren't integrated. Firefox doesn't integrate with the global menu as I'm not very familiar with the Firefox build system. Also, the "updates" menu entry in the shutdown menu doesn't do anything because I haven't patched Unity to use pacman instead of apt/dpkg.

Other than that, the experience should be pretty much identical to that of Ubuntu (well, in addition to all the benefits of using Arch )

mr_comic · 2011-12-20 02:54:55

So, I'm testing this for the first time and at the time it's compiling Qt but I wanted to make notice that gconf-ubuntu encountered a problem cause the file was not found so I used the next version available, I hope there's no big deal with that.

Assuming you updated with the source 'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/m … ian.tar.gz' and fixed the 'sha512sums,' then everything should be fine Anyway, I've updated the PKGBUILD in the git repo.

The gconf-ubuntu package isn't that important, but if it's not patched and installed correctly, you'll log in and see a blank screen when you choose Unity in the login manager. As long that this command returns something:

grep debian /etc/gconf/2/path

and '/var/lib/gconf/defaults' contains files, then everything should work

Yeah thats what I did and I hope I won't encounter any problems. I'm kind of nervous cause is the first time I compile that amount of packages.

Don't worry, that's what we're here for If you have any questions or problems with the packages, just post here and I'll see what I can do

That's why I love Arch, the community is great and all of you are very noob friendly It was a succeed and now I'm running Unity
