Wine 1.1.5 for Solaris

Wine 1.1.5 is out. So are new compiling errors:

gmake[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/wine-1.1.5/dlls/cryptnet'

In file included from cryptnet_main.c:31:

gmake[1]: *** [cryptnet] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/wine-1.1.5/dlls'

The thing is, wine/debug.h must be included before any other win*.h headers in dlls/cryptnet/cryptnet_main.c

$ more dlls/cryptnet/cryptnet_main.c

How to reset hung ports on a Cyclades terminal server

If you are getting no response from a device connected to a Cyclades port you can try to reset all ports by sending HUP signal to cy_ras process:

# ps -ef | grep cy_ras
114 ? root 2908 S /bin/cy_ras
2878 ttyp1 is 1664 S grep cy_ras
# kill -1 114

CAPTCHA's and phpBB

"Easy for bots, difficult for humans". Not that it was the idea behind Completely Automated Public Turing tests to tell Computers and Humans Apart. The proper test should:

  1. work properly out of the box
  2. work regardless of language settings
  3. be solvable for almost all humans
  4. and few Bots

But what about the implementations? Read about CAPTCHA's here.

SqueezeCenter again. Testing v7.3

SqueezeCenter 7.2 is officially out and not interesting anymore ;-) Let's have a look at version 7.3 which has a new streaming service. In this test I downloaded SqueezeCenter-7.3-22975.ZIP from here.

The first attempt to start the server (after unpacking and "chmod"-ding) gave me this error:

# ./slimserver.pl
The following modules failed to load: YAML::Syck

To download and compile them, please run: /usr/local/SqueezeCenter-7.3-22975/Bin/build-perl-modules.pl YAML::Syck

Exiting..

The "built-in" build-perl-modules.pl failed to install the CPAN module:

# /usr/local/SqueezeCenter-7.3-22975/Bin/build-perl-modules.pl YAML::Syck
Welcome to the Slim Devices perl module installer.

These packages are needed for SqueezeCenter to function.
You will need a C compiler (gcc), make, and perl installed.

You will need development libraries for MySQL. eg: libmysqlclient

You will need development libraries for expat. eg: libexpat1-dev

*** Ignore any warnings about AppConfig. ***

Please enter a perl binary to use (defaults to /usr/bin/perl)
This must be the same perl binary that you ran this program with –>
Please enter a directory to download files to –>
Downloads will use lwp to fetch tarballs.

Downloading YAML-Syck-0.64.tar.gz to: /usr/local/SqueezeCenter-7.3-22975
Something looks wrong – I couldn't read /usr/local/SqueezeCenter-7.3-22975/YAML-Syck-0.64.tar.gz, which I just downloaded.
Uncompressing..
sh: YAML-Syck-0.64.tar.gz: cannot open
tar: blocksize = 0
Couldn't change to YAML-Syck-0.64 : No such file or directory at /usr/local/SqueezeCenter-7.3-22975/Bin/build-perl-modules.pl line 226, line 2.

So, I decided to go the old way and get rid of the supplied with SqueezeCenter CPAN directory.

# mv CPAN CPAN-orig

… update YAML::Syck just in case…

# perl -MCPAN -e shell
. . .
cpan[1]> install YAML::Syck
YAML::Syck is up to date (1.05).
#

… and start the server again …

# ./slimserver.pl

This error looks familiar. And after commenting line 40 in SqueezeCenter-7.3-22975/Slim/Utils/Unicode.pm (#use Encode::Detect::Detector; ) the server came alive and immediately updated the firmware of the Transporter to version 62.
