Problem
After installing a package and trying to run it in Mandriva 2010 64, you get errors about missing libraries, like:
error while loading shared libraries: libasound.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Solution
Use the urpmf command to find the packages that contain the missing libraries like :
urpmf libasound.so.2
and then when you get something like the following:
lib64alsa2:/usr/lib64/libasound.so.2
lib64alsa2:/usr/lib64/libasound.so.2.0.0
lib64alsa2:/usr/lib64/libasound.so.2
lib64alsa2:/usr/lib64/libasound.so.2.0.0
libalsa2:/usr/lib/libasound.so.2
libalsa2:/usr/lib/libasound.so.2.0.0
libalsa2:/usr/lib/libasound.so.2
libalsa2:/usr/lib/libasound.so.2.0.0
install the missing packages with:
sudo urpmi lib64alsa2
or/and
sudo urpmi libalsa2
Problem
You have moved your gitolite server or you want to be able to access your gitolite server behind a firewall and port 22 for ssh is no longer available.
Solution
Edit your .git/config file and replace the line with :
url = git_user_name@http://server_ip:repo_name.git
to the following:
url = ssh://git_user_name@external_ip:non_standard_ssh_port/repo_name.git
Problem
When you use WMware to run Mandriva or any other distribution on Mac OSx, if you resize the hard disk partition in VMware your Mandriva system won’t automatically resize the partition to use the newly available space.
Solution
To be able to use the available space the quickest solution is:
Problem
After changing the IP address of your staging server the cap deploy does not work any more and gives you the following error:
** [192.168.0.50 :: err] Host key verification failed.
** [192.168.0.50 :: err] fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
Solution
You would need to login to your staging server (as your deployment user) and do an initial checkout for one time for the ssh keys to work.
So you could do something like the following:
$ ssh user_name@staging_server
$sh -c 'git clone -q git_user@192.168.0.50:repo_name /some/tmp/dir/temp_repo_name
Make sure that you reply ‘y’ to the question about the authenticity of the host as in:
The authenticity of host '192.168.0.50 (192.168.0.50)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xxb.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added '192.168.0.50' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
Next delete the newly created git project from your tmp directory, and then you should be able to use cap deploy as normal again from your development pc
Problem
You would like to use Carrierwave for file uploads, but you get the following error if you are trying to use factories for running your cucumber scripts:
You tried to assign a String or a Pathname to an uploader, for security reasons, this is not allowed.
That happens if you try to assign inside your factory template, to your file field the path like f.file “path_to_file”
Solution
You would need to slightly modify your factory template to use the file path as follows:
f.file File.open(File.join(Rails.root,"path_to_file"))
Problem
You would like to use the Arduino Uno board with Mandriva but you are running into errors and problems installing it.
Solution
Download the latest code from the arduino website and extract the file somewhere.
Add your username to the dialout and uucp groups so you don’t get permissions errors.
install the avr-gcc package:
$ sudo urpmi avr-gcc
if everything works as it should then you should be able to select the port from the arduino IDE (Tools -> Serial Port -> /dev/ttyACM0)
You should then be able to communicate with the Arduino board by using one of the examples (ie Examples/Basic/Blink)

You should then be able to install and use the rmagick gem
Problem

Problem
Your .gitignore file seems that is not working. You have added files there like db/schema.rb, but it keeps tracking the changes to it.
Solution
The cause is that the file was added to git version control before it was added in the .gitignore file. To remove the file from git tracking but without removing it from the filesystem use the following:
$ git rm --cached filename_not_to_be_tracked
