Progress on Unity under Arch Linux!

There is no need for dbus 1.4 anymore, this problem is fixed, and now packages built with dbus 1.6.
Also, if you have installed Unity before 4th August, you need to reinstall all packages from repo.

edmael · 2012-08-09 15:54:58

I've installed it today.
So i can safely install dbus from the official repo?
Also python2-dbus?
Do I need to keep clutter-gtk in the IgnorePkg?

Thanks pekmop1024, I'm gonna try a reboot.

You have forgot to update unity-2d package to version from quantal, current version from precise requires unity 5 to build PKGBUILD.
UPD. Repo at unity.xe-xe.org is rebuilt with new fixes, glew17 is no more needed.

Did this go through? Haven't seen any updates since this post.

pekmop1024 · 2012-08-09 16:08:02

b9anders, at unity.xe-xe.org unity-2d package is correct, at github not yet

edmael · 2012-08-09 16:19:06

So...

It give me this error in the terminal:

This error still remain.

no IgnorePkg is needed at all.
install fresh packages that was ignored from repo.

edmael · 2012-08-09 16:27:13

Ok, done.
Another reboot

edmael · 2012-08-09 16:50:02

Removing clutter-gtk from IgnorePKG causes Unity to not start.
I reinstalled the older version.

pekmop1024 · 2012-08-09 17:03:08

Something wrong with your system.
On clean Arch there is no such problems.
Try to reinstall all packages from repo by

# pacman -S $(pacman -Slq unity)

edmael · 2012-08-09 17:09:49

Re-installing all packages., let's see.
I'm running an x86_64 install by the way, maybe the problem is there?
Maybe I have another version of libcogl.so.5 installed, how can I see it?

pekmop1024 · 2012-08-09 17:13:28

I'm running x86_64 on my machine without any problems. VMs (both architectures) for testing runs well too.

edmael · 2012-08-09 17:16:03

That's strange!
Let me see if I can fix the libcogl and the clutter problem...

edmael · 2012-08-09 17:21:13

I've solved the first problem with:
ln -s /usr/lib/libcogl.so /usr/lib/libcogl.so.5

Where are stored the grey icon of the dash?

pekmop1024 · 2012-08-09 17:23:13

I have no /usr/lib/libcogl.so.5 file or symlink in my system...

edmael · 2012-08-09 17:27:50

Well, I added it and now it works.
Don't know why...

Sadly also Online Account won't work and it keep giving me an error about credential...

Found the problem: I needed the gnome-keyring package.

Ah, so just the 2-d package then. Quite possibly the only one I don't have installed. That would explain it. The others still depend on glew17 don't they? At least, pacman wants to remove a bunch if I try and uninstall it.

pekmop1024 · 2012-08-10 03:07:06

b9anders, after 08.08.2012 rebuild there is no glew17 at repo and nothing is depends on glew17, just do full re-install as I recommend earlier.

kraileth · 2012-08-12 10:02:50

Just wanted to say "Thank you!" to everybody involved here. I needed to install Unity for a desktop test and it truly was a hassle trying to mess with it...

I spend about one day of work at trying to get Unity working by myself before I found out that there's another custom repo for it! Is there any reason why this is not mentioned in the wiki? Both the version on the Ayatana repo and on the AUR are version 5 and both are broken. So if anybody is new to this topic (like me) he'll easily be let astray which I guess is not what the wiki is for.

Anyways: I also had trouble with heavy graphic glitches but using glew1.7 resolved the problems for me. Thanks for pointing at it in this thread. While I'm one of those who just cannot cope with Unity, I still appreciate your work!

oi_wtf · 2012-08-12 20:58:01

this PKGBUILD for liferea 1.8.7 with indicator support could be added to Unity-for-Arch-Extra, since the package in AUR is quite outdated:

Looks like this: http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/1988 … icator.png

milasch · 2012-08-12 21:01:56

Is there any script to build all packages instead of having to do so manually?

oi_wtf · 2012-08-12 22:00:32

You could use something like this...

#!/bin/sh

pkgs=`./What_can_I_update\?.py | grep Package | sed 's/.*: //g'`

for p in $pkgs; do
	echo "==> Updating »$p«"
	cd $p || continue
	yes | rm *.gz *.bz2 *.xz pkg src -rf
	yes | makepkg -si
	cd ..
done

this code for example would build and install all packages that can be updated.
Also you could easily tweak the var 'pkgs' to contain the list of packages you want to build, for example build all packages listed in README or reading them from a file or stdin... there are almost no limits

Seems like a lot just to get rid of the glew17 dependency. Shouldn't the packages that no longer rely on glew 17 simply have been upgraded to a higher version number, rather than rebuilt with the same version number?

PS. Don't get me wrong. I absolutely love your work. Wouldn't be using Unity without it.
