Archlinux x64 Flash directory permissions problem

Sun, 01/16/2011 - 12:23 — sham

I have just moved to Archlinux - mainly due to its rolling release policy and because (for me) the last 2 Ubuntu releases have been awful.
To be fair I had the same Xinerama + Qt + Xorg 1.9 = Crash problem on Archlinux as well but anyway...

Another issue I had was after installing flashplugin-prerelease using:

yaourt -S flashplugin-prerelease

I got this warning:

warning: directory permissions differ on usr/lib/mozilla/
filesystem: 700 package: 755

And firefox did not detect the plugin (about:plugins was empty)

ExtJs Direct - Not enough required params or this.form is undefined

Sun, 12/26/2010 - 15:03 — sham 
{"type":"exception","tid":4,"message":"Not enough required params specified for method: loadForm  on class ClassNameHere"
}

If you are getting errors like this check firebug to make sure you are sending the data. I was not sending the data because I keep forgetting to set 'paramorder' or 'paramsasHash' on the form config.

CakePHP - The requested address ... was not found on the server

Wed, 10/13/2010 - 20:36 — sham
I just installed the new Ubuntu 10.10 on my workstation. I am in the progress to upgrading to CakePHP 1.3 but more on that later. The first problem I had (that I always have because I always forget this): 
The requested address .. was not found on the server

Solution? Enable mod_rewrite. On Ubuntu I did 
sudo a2enmod rewrite

Linux/Ubuntu: Changing your default shell

Wed, 10/13/2010 - 20:31 — sham
Use the command: 
chsh -s /path/to/shell yourusername

So to switch to zsh use 
chsh -s /bin/zsh yourusername

Svn error: .. has unexpectedly changed special status

Tue, 07/20/2010 - 23:53 — sham

To solve this delete the svn:special property by doing this:

svn propdel svn:special FILETOCHANGE

You can also use svn proplist FILETOLOOKAT to see the svn properties on that file.

I had just used this script: http://arctic.org/~dean/scripts/unln to unlink but keep a copy of the symlinked file.
Seems to work quite well.

Tue, 07/20/2010 - 23:26 — sham
This happened when i had a controller called Types and a file in my webroot called types.xsd. When i turned off Multiview in my site configuration file it started working. 
<Directory ....>

I just removed the MultView option for now.

Ubuntu One Music not syncing (Queued)

Wed, 06/09/2010 - 23:05 — sham
I just bought an album from the Ubuntu One album store. It was very quick and easy to buy but as with many things, once you have handed over the money it got alot worse. Basically the music was 'in my cloud' but it wouldn't sync to my local machine...
Ubuntu has status page
Which linked to a bug report
Which said to open Applicaitons->Accessories->Terminal and run: 
 touch ~/.ubuntuone/Purchased\ from\ Ubuntu\ One/placeholder; u1sdtool -q; u1sdtool -c
This will put a "placeholder" file in your ~/.ubuntuone/Purchased from Ubuntu One/ folder and then force the syncdaemon to reconnect and try to sync that folder.
