How to fix error while loading shared libraries libudev.so.0

5/10/2014

1 Comment

 
If you download programs for linux off the internet, you may sometimes see this error when trying run the software. error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This is due to not having libudev installed, or you are running a newer version from the time the software was compiled.

By renaming the shortcut for
libudev, you might be able to fix this problem.

1. Enter the terminal.
2. Type in cd /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu (if you are on 64-bit. I did not test this out on 32-bit linux)
3. Type in sudo cp ./libudev.so.1 ./libudev.so.0

This will copy the
libudev.so.1 shortcut and name it to libudev.so.0.

If this works for you, leave a comment bellow. Popcoin Time

Copy of my post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=203639.0

Requirements: AWS Account, AWS Key Pair, Linux terminal or Putty on Windows. Pool account Eg. http://yac.dontmine.me

Step 1: link Select the instance Ubuntu Ubuntu Server 12.10 (recommended) or Ubuntu Server 12.10 for Cluster Instances (Limit of 2 by default) 64-Bit of course. Click continue.

Step 2:  Click edit details, change type to c1.xlarge (cc2.8xlarge for clusters), save details, Launch.

Step 3: link After a few minutes your new instance should be done creating and be started automatically. To connect right click the instance, click connect. You should get a code that looks something like this [code]ssh -i /home/rawr/Desktop/keycode.pem ubuntu@ec1-23-45-678-90.compute-1.amazonaws.com[/code] replace keycode.pem with your .pem Key Pair file then paste the code into the linux terminal. (Putty how-to guide)

Step 4: When the server is done starting up, paste the following code into the Ubuntu shell: [code]sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y autoconf automake git libcurl4-openssl-dev make && git clone https://github.com/ali1234/cpuminer.git &&
cd ./cpuminer/ && ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make && sudo make install &&
./minerd -o http://yac.dontmine.me:8080 -u username.1 -p x -a scrypt-jane[/code] replace username.1 with your username and x with your password. The following will install the newest version of cpuminer, it's dependents and start the mining on all your CPU threads. To limit the threads place -t n after the port. n=numebr of cpu cores used for mining.

Step 5. You should now me mining YaCoin! When your done mining remember to stop or terminate the instance. link You get charged for each partial/full hour!

Yahoo! Axis Browser - Review and Hack

5/24/2012

0 Comments

 
Yahoo! now has their own web browser (kinda).

On May 23th Yahoo! released a "web browser" for iOS devices and a web browser addon for Firefox, Safari and Chrome. [CNET News Release]

Later on in the day, someone downloaded the Chrome extension to their desktop, opened it up (Chrome extensions (CRX file) are ZIP archives) and found out their cert private key was included with the file. [Source: Tweet from @nikcub]

Yahoo! pulled the Chrome extension then reuploaded early on May 24th without the cert private key being public this time.

When you go to the download page at http://axis.yahoo.com/ it doesn't seem to allow downloads to people on Linux operating systems. Using a special trick, I downloaded the CRX file to my Debian computer and installed the extension in Chromium (Open source version of Chrome)
It seems to work. After about 5 minutes, I got tired of it and disabled the extension.

Yahoo! Axis for Linux:
If you would like to try out the extension for yourself on your Linux operating system, I uploaded the extension to my web site. http://web.techfurs.net/Downloads/Axis_Chrome_Extension/ Read the README file first for important information.

My Review for Ubuntu 12.04

4/26/2012

0 Comments

 
The Bad:
No categories for programs(?).
[Only] One program crash in the hours of trying out 12.04
It took a few seconds for History in dash home to go away right when history was cleared. (Maybe it was in cache?) 

Big Plus: 
Privacy settings
Fast feeling, even on my older system.
Best released since 10.10

12/25/2011

4 Comments

 

Small update from my September post.

As you may know, Canonical freezes software packages a few weeks before a new distribution comes out.Only security updates will be installed after the freeze.
If you want new fectures for your software, you need to install a ppa.
To add a repository on your system the new way (9.10 and higher) all you do is “sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonoomph/openshot-edge”
Some software on this list may no longer be updated for older systems. 
 
1: Chromium - Stable: ppa:chromium-daily/stable [10.04+]
2: Firefox - Stable: ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable [10.04+]
3: Thunderbird - Stable: ppa:mozillateam/thunderbird-stable [10.04+]
4. Openshot - Bleeding Edge: ppa:jonoomph/openshot-edge [9.10+]
5. LibreOffice - Stable: ppa:libreoffice/ppa [10.04+]
6. The Gimp - Trunk: ppa:matthaeus123/mrw-gimp-svn [9.04+]
7. Pidgin - Stable: ppa:pidgin-developers/ppa [10.04+]
8. Shotwell - Stable: ppa:yorba/ppa [11.04+] ppa:flexiondotorg/shotwell [10.04 **, 10.10 **]
9. WineHQ - Stable: ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa [6.06+]
10. Banshee - Stable: ppa:banshee-team/ppa [7.10+]

** Must enable the GStreamer PPA to use: ppa:gstreamer-developers/ppa

Some software I recommend getting from the office site:
TOR
VirtualBox
PlayOnLinux
Vuze
