Re: [PLUG] HDHomeRun Config GUI loses connection

2017-08-31 Thread Larry Brigman 
You need to determine which side is losing the connection.  Silicondust
does have a decent Linux Forum.
Is everything up to date on the 14.04?  I had tried to setup TVHeadend on
Linux.  At the time I tried it, things
were not all that stable with the V4L drivers and the HDHomeRun.

Something else that could cause problems is time.  Is ntp running?  Does
the time step every once in a while?

[PLUG] HDHomeRun Config GUI loses connection

2017-08-31 Thread John Jason Jordan 
My house is wired with Cat6 ethernet to which everything is connected,
including an HDHomeRun TV tuner (the Connect, not the Extend or the
Prime). The incoming signal is just an over the air antenna. The router
is a D-Link DIR-860L B1 (thanks again, Russell). The router also
supplies wireless, used only by my phone and my laptop, although the
laptop is also wired. 

Everything works perfectly except that the HDHomeRun Config GUI pops up
a 'communication error' message periodically. Sometimes I can go a
couple days without it happening, but this evening it happened three
times, one right after the other. I can recover just by scrolling up or
down in the channel list in the HDHomeRun confit GUI. In other words,
this is a major annoyance, but not a total fail.

Side note: All my computers are just straight Xubuntu 14.04, up to
date. There is no mythtv installed. All I use to view television on VLC
is the HDHomeRun Config GUI.

The manufacturer, Silicondust, provides occasional firmware updates.
The latest is dated 8/15/2017 and I have applied it, but there was no
change in the frequency of the errors.

At the last Clinic I brought up this issue and Tomas suggested setting
up a cron job to ping the HDHomeRun device periodically. After thinking
about it I think that this would accomplish nothing. It would respond
to the ping and several hours later would lose the connection again.

I could use some suggestions.

Tom,

   First I need to figure out what search path is being used.

   My current approach is building 2.6.17 on the 32-bit Dell Latitude 2100,
re-directing stdout and stderr to the build.log file. Then I'll run 'diff
-y  ' and see where they differ. This should tell me
what's different between a system that upgraded from 14.1 to 14.2 and a
system with 14.2 installed on a new disk.

Thanks,

   I think that I've isolated the problem to the gnucash make not finding the
proper path to guile. I've created a build log but I'm not confident of
discovering where the incorrect path is defined.

   Any guile/scheme coders here willing to help me on this?

Re: [PLUG] Need help: application builds on 64-bit but not 32-bit systems

2017-08-31 Thread Tomas Kuchta 
Yes, you are missing a file, but that is because something else fails the
build process before.

I am not a Slackware person, so take my advice in principle.

I assume that you build process is standard configure; make; make install
affair.

How about saving ./configure and make outputs from 32 and 64 bit platforms
and diff them. Perhaps you will be able to cross reference the diffs with
your make errors.

If/when you find the missing or problematic library, assuming there is one
- try creating a link to newer version on your system. Hopefully, the lib
will be backwards compatible.

Hope it helps,
Tomas

[PLUG] museum piece

There is also the Living Computer Museum in Seattle. I went there
recently. They were replacing the fried power switch on their Xerox
Alto, and the Apple 1 was running.

Powell's books used to have a small display in the tech book store. I've no
idea if they still have those old computers displayed somewhere. Powell's is
closer than San Jose. :-)

Wayne,

   Nope. The issue is a missing gnucash file:

ice-9/boot-9.scm:106:20: In procedure #:
ice-9/boot-9.scm:106:20: In procedure dynamic-link: file:
"libgncmod-report-gnome", message: "file not found"
Makefile:1141: recipe for target 'report-gnome.go' failed

   My web searches for report-gnome.go find no hits on that. Plenty of hits
on gnome and report but not this file name.

Thanks,

[PLUG] museum piece

2017-08-31 Thread John Meissen 
When my then 94 year old neighbor passed away back around 2001 or so, I helped 
his daughter clean out the house and prepare it for sale. Buried under a pile 
of cardboard boxes in one corner I found an IBM PC-AT.

I rescued the AT, which works perfectly, and it's been sitting in my house ever 
since.

I realize it's kind of pointless for me to hang on to it, and would like to 
find a more appropriate home for it.

Does anyone have any suggestions for people or organizations that might be 
interested in this museum piece?

[PLUG] Need help: application builds on 64-bit but not 32-bit systems

2017-08-31 Thread Rich Shepard 
   Here's the summary. Since the beginning of this year I have depended on
gnucash for my business and personal bookkeeping. Slackware-14.1 on my
32-bit desktop allowed gnucash to build and ran through version 2.6.16. A
couple of weeks ago I upgraded the desktop to 14.2 and 2.6.16 no longer
loads because it was built against a library version that was upgraded with
the distribution.

   Gnucash-2.6.17 is the current version. Trying to build it fails either
because it's looking for a static library when only shared libraries are
available or because it cannot find a file it needs. This also happens on my
Dell Latitude 2100 (32-bit Atom processor) running 14.2 on a new SSD. The
SlackBuilds.org package maintainer hit the same errors on a virtual 32-bit
14.2; he does not currently run gnucash so fixing the problem is a low
priority for him. It's a very high priority for me.

   Gnucash-2.6.17 builds on my 64-bit Dell Latitude E5410 running 14.2 on a
new SSD.

   There's more detail on build attempts I did with 2.6.13 on both 32-bit
systems. I need suggestions on how to figure out the differences between
32-bit and 64-bit versions of the same Slackware distribution because I've
hit the edge of my knowledge on how to fix the problem.

   Off the list is fine with me if that would be more appropriate.

TIA,

Rich
