How to add the Audio/Video Property tab to Caja? - mate-desktop

By default Caja does not come with the Audio/Video Properties tab that is present in Nautilus since... a very long time.
How can this tab be added?

gnome-mplayer includes an extension for caja since version 1.0.9-2:
https://code.google.com/p/gnome-mplayer/source/checkout
However, the version of gnome-mplayer-1.0.9-2 that comes from the Ubuntu repositories does not include the caja extension:
/usr/lib/caja/extensions-2.0/libgnome-mplayer-caja-properties-page.so
OR (for amd64):
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/caja/extensions-2.0/libgnome-mplayer-caja-properties-page.so
I suspect that the reason is that when the .DEB was compiled, caja was not installed and thus not detected.
Therefore the only solution is to compile from source or use a deb compiled by someone else:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/x340ym3xeyhuosu/gnome-mplayer_1.0.9.2-2_amd64.deb?dl=1
https://www.dropbox.com/s/qm6nkgkaebddtrj/gnome-mplayer_1.0.9-1_i386.deb?dl=1
STEPS to compile:
Install dependencies:
Run the following as root:
apt-get build-dep gnome-mplayer
apt-get install make automake
apt-get install svn
apt-get install libcaja-extension-dev
Download source code with svn:
svn checkout http://gnome-mplayer.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ gnome-mplayer
Compile
The make might complain that it cannot find automake-1.13 when you have automake-1.14
In order to resolve this run the following in the source folder:
aclocal
automake
./configure
make
after this all you need to do is to run:
make install OR checkinstall
Finally you might need to also install mplayer if you don't already have it.
Restart caja by logout/login or killall caja
Now you should have the property tab.
If you don't, check if you can open a movie with gnome-mplayer.
Let me know if you encounter any issues!
UPDATE: referenced dropbox package now installs the dependencies

How to install libpq-fe.h?

I cannot figure this out for the life of me.
When I pip install django-tenant-schemas it tries to install the dependency psycopg2 which requires the Python headers and gcc. I have all this installed and still keep getting this error!
./psycopg/psycopg.h:35:10: fatal error: libpq-fe.h: No such file or directory
So to install libpq-fe-h I need to sudo apt-get install libpq-dev..
..which returns..
libpq-dev is already the newest version (10.10-0ubuntu0.18.04.1).
Then when I sudo find / libpq-fe.h it doesn't seem to be in my OS.
I am lost at this point. If anyone can help I would highly appreciate it.
For some reason, the file is missing on the system.
As you're using apt-get, the system is dpkg based, presumably Debian or it's derivative. You can try the Ubuntu's package search to get which package contains a file with name ending in libpq-fe.h.
I found the package is libpq-dev and file's absolute path is /usr/include/postgresql/libpq-fe.h.
FWIW, on a dpkg based system, you can check which package gives a file if you know the file's absolute path:
% dpkg -S /usr/include/postgresql/libpq-fe.h
libpq-dev: /usr/include/postgresql/libpq-fe.h
Also, unlike find, locate keeps a cache of found files (mlocate.db) that is created everyday via cron; so if the file happens to be removed after the last run, you can run locate libfq-fe.h to get the absolute path to the file without needing to check the Ubuntu package search online.
So the package is libpq-dev. Now, reinstalling it will get everything to the default state i.e. all relevant files will be copied to the right places. As it is only a library package, no user/system level configurations will be overridden (and dpkg will prompt you for action for any package that does that).
To reinstall the package:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libpq-dev
For me, I realized it was trying to use the deprecated setup.py so I installed wheel (pip install wheel) and that sorted it all out.
Well after installing these libraries
sudo dnf install python-virtualenv openssl-devel gcc libffi-devel libxslt-devel issue was not gone.
I used mlocate to find where libpq-fe.h file is located. On my system (Fedora 32) it was located at /usr/pgsql-10/include/libpq-fe.h
yum install mlocate
sudo updateb
locate libpq-fe.h
After all added this line to ~/.bash_profile
nano ~/.bash_profile
export PATH=/usr/pgsql-10/bin/:$PATH
Works fine, I can easily install psycopg2 without any trouble.
You need to create a LD_LIBRARY_PATH that indicates the path of your library /user/pgsql-11/lib

RedHawk building from source --- locate the code installing uhd3.5.3

I am trying to build from source for RedHawk installation and trying to replace uhd3.5.3 with a higher version of uhd for USRP_UHD module. I saw USRP_UHD source code, but found nowhere for uhd3.5.3 source code. I am guessing it might simply use "yum install ..." to download and install uhd host code and suporting libraries. Does anybody know where this code is located in redhawk_src_2.0 package? Or is there an efficient way in linux to search for this among all the files in redhawk_src_2.0 package?
Thanks in advance!
UHD is the USRP Harware driver softwware from Ettus Research. The UHD is distributed from:
http://files.ettus.com/binaries/uhd_stable/
Version 3.5.3 is here:
http://files.ettus.com/binaries/uhd_stable/uhd_003.005.003-release/
The current release is 3.9.2:
http://files.ettus.com/binaries/uhd_stable/uhd_003.009.002-release/
Hopefully this helps. I wasn't 100% sure what you are asking for.
First, clone the uhd library:
git clone git://github.com/EttusResearch/uhd.git
Then checkout the 3.9.2 tag:
git checkout release_003_009_002
Using the instructions from Ettus (http://files.ettus.com/manual/page_build_guide.html), install the dependencies listed under the Fedora section:
sudo yum -y install boost-devel libusb1-devel python-mako doxygen python-docutils cmake make gcc gcc-c++
Next, generate the Makefiles with CMake:
cd <uhd-repo-path>/host
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/uhd ../
I recommend using an alternate install prefix at first to preserve the 3.5.3 version, just in case, but if you don't want to, just run:
cmake ../
instead of the longer command with the -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX flag. (Note: I couldn't get cmake to find the installed boost version, so you may have to do some other research on that since it is probably a whole different stackoverflow post in and of itself)
Now build and install the uhd library:
make
make test
sudo make install
Now that the library is installed, you should edit the USRP_UHD/cpp/configure.ac so that the PKG_CONFIG_PATH points to your install prefix (either the one specified in the flag above, or if you did the default, just leave it, as it should already be pointing to /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig). Also in the configure.ac file, make sure to change the uhd version number to 3.9.2.
Now you should be able to rebuild the USRP_UHD Device:
./reconf && ./configure && make install
I don't guarantee that the Device will build against the new version of the uhd library, that will depend on what (if anything) has been deprecated an removed from the library between the supported version and the newest one.
Finally, if you get through all of those steps successfully and if you specified a non-standard install prefix, you will have to add this prefix to either the LD_LIBRARY_PATH or an /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ script in order for the Device to correctly execute.
Clarification - you can follow the Redhawk manual appendix B for building Redhawk from source AFTER installing UHD v3.9.3 from source as per pwolframs instructions. The UHD v3.5.3 is not packaged with the Redhawk source code, only the Redhawk RPM, disregard all those RPMs when building UHD and Redhawk from source.

Install boost version 1.40

I am using a server running with Ubuntu 12.04
I want to install the boost libraries in it. I know
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
will make the work done, but it installs the latest version version 1.52 or above.
But I need to install the particular version 1.40 as there is a problem in a simulator which I am using for my academic purpose. What is the particular command for that so that I can install the boost libraries along with the other requirements for it like the linking files
Thanks in advance
Quick answer: sudo apt-get install libboost-dev= 1.40.0.1
If it doesn't work, continue reading.
The apt-get does support installing a particular version of a package as long as it is in an archive that apt knows about. From the apt-get manpage:
A specific version of a package can be selected for installation by following the
package name with an equals and the version of the package to select. This will
cause that version to be located and selected for install. Alternatively a specific
distribution can be selected by following the package name with a slash and the version of
the distribution or the Archive name (stable, frozen, unstable).
For e.g. if you wanted to install apache 2.20 for Ubuntu, you would do something like:
sudo apt-get install apache2=2.2.20-1ubuntu1
Note that you may need to do some dependency resolution on your own in this case, but if there are any problems apt-get will tell you what is causing them. For e.g.(on 11.04)
sudo apt-get install apache2=2.2.20-1ubuntu1 \
apache2.2-common=2.2.20-1ubuntu1 \
apache2.2-bin=2.2.20-1ubuntu1 \
apache2-mpm-worker=2.2.20-1ubuntu1
Note: You must first check if build 1.40 is still available. For that use:
aptitude search libboost
If aptitude search command don't give you sufficient results, try sudo aptitude update and then run aptitude search again.
You might have to investigate whether debs from earlier Ubuntu versions can be installed. i.e. remove the current package, download the debs and try installing them. But there could be dependency on older versions of the standard library.If so, you can probably try downloading the source from launchpad.
As a last resort, download from boost.org and build it - painfully!
EDIT: I see you have asked the same question on ubuntu forums and it seems that you have 1.48 as the default. You might have to build the library itself. Can you try this apt-get
sudo apt-get install libboost1.40-all-dev=1.40.0-4ubuntu4
If this doesn't work, you will have to build it and install it yourself. You can download the source from
Download source (1.40.0): libboost 1.40.0 source files
After it's installed, run the following command to hold your installed version, preventing the package manager from automatically updating it in the future:
sudo echo "[packagename] hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
Source:How to Downgrade Packages on Ubuntu
Generally you download sources, build it (some parts are not just headers like filesystem on Windows). Then you can select which subset of libraries you want to install (you can make compact version with only what you need). Then by invoking bootstrap script you build it to another directory this subset of libraries you want and then you invoke install.
Here is a pretty good description how to do it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1180792

How do I install Audiere?

I'm trying to install PyAudiere (on MacOS 10.5), and it needs Audiere installed. I downloaded the Unix source from the Audiere website and ran configure and the makefile. I also tried adding audiere.h to the g++ include path with the command:
g++ -I /[...]/audiere-1.9.4/src audiere.h.
This did something, but I'm not sure what. When I try to install PyAudiere using
python setup.py install
it always says
error: audiere.h: No such file or directory.
Have I installed Audiere? If not, how do I do it?
Disclaimer: I know virtually nothing about mac OS
If you have run configure:
./configure
and the makefile:
make
Have you then run:
make install
Without running make install you have simply compiled the files but not installed them into your system. Under linux you might have to run sudo make install in order to get the administrative privileges required to install files.

How do I install the OpenSSL libraries on Ubuntu?

I'm trying to build some code on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS that uses OpenSSL 1.0.0. When I run make, it invokes g++ with the "-lssl" option. The source includes:
#include <openssl/bio.h>
#include <openssl/buffer.h>
#include <openssl/des.h>
#include <openssl/evp.h>
#include <openssl/pem.h>
#include <openssl/rsa.h>
I ran:
$ sudo apt-get install openssl
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
openssl is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
But I guess the openssl package doesn't include the library. I get these errors on make:
foo.cpp:21:25: error: openssl/bio.h: No such file or directory
foo.cpp:22:28: error: openssl/buffer.h: No such file or directory
foo.cpp:23:25: error: openssl/des.h: No such file or directory
foo.cpp:24:25: error: openssl/evp.h: No such file or directory
foo.cpp:25:25: error: openssl/pem.h: No such file or directory
foo.cpp:26:25: error: openssl/rsa.h: No such file or directory
How do I install the OpenSSL C++ library on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS?
I did a man g++ and (under "Options for Linking") for the -l option it states: " The linker searches a standard list of directories for the library..." and "The directories searched include several standard system directories..." What are those standard system directories?
You want to install the development package, which is libssl-dev:
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
Run:
apt-get install libssl-dev
All of these answers are very outdated and from when the package was still being developed. You can now just use the "normal" command listed below:
sudo apt install openssl
Edit: OP's question is poorly worded... after all, OpenSSL is a library itself, so I read his question too quickly before answering. The command above installs "normal" OpenSSL.
Toward the bottom of his question he mentions that make fails, suggesting he is compiling the package manually. And yes, even if you download the TAR ball, it will include all of the openssl and libssl files, which you can then make from.
What OP is really asking for is the OpenSSL Development Library, in which case you can first install OpenSSL using the above command, and then run this afterwards:
sudo apt install libssl-dev
More info: https://linuxtect.com/how-to-install-openssl-libraries-on-ubuntu-debian-mint/
I found a detailed solution here: Install OpenSSL Manually On Linux
From the blog post...:
Steps to download, compile, and install are as follows (I'm installing version 1.0.1g below; please replace "1.0.1g" with your version number):
Step – 1 : Downloading OpenSSL:
Run the command as below :
$ wget http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.1g.tar.gz
Also, download the MD5 hash to verify the integrity of the downloaded file for just varifacation purpose. In the same folder where you have downloaded the OpenSSL file from the website :
$ wget http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.1g.tar.gz.md5
$ md5sum openssl-1.0.1g.tar.gz
$ cat openssl-1.0.1g.tar.gz.md5
Step – 2 : Extract files from the downloaded package:
$ tar -xvzf openssl-1.0.1g.tar.gz
Now, enter the directory where the package is extracted like here is openssl-1.0.1g
$ cd openssl-1.0.1g
Step – 3 : Configuration OpenSSL
Run below command with optional condition to set prefix and directory where you want to copy files and folder.
$ ./config --prefix=/usr/local/openssl --openssldir=/usr/local/openssl
You can replace “/usr/local/openssl” with the directory path where you want to copy the files and folders. But make sure while doing this steps check for any error message on terminal.
Step – 4 : Compiling OpenSSL
To compile openssl you will need to run 2 command : make, make install as below :
$ make
Note: check for any error message for verification purpose.
Step -5 : Installing OpenSSL:
$ sudo make install
Or without sudo,
$ make install
That’s it. OpenSSL has been successfully installed. You can run the version command to see if it worked or not as below :
$ /usr/local/openssl/bin/openssl version
OpenSSL 1.0.1g 7 Apr 2014
How could I have figured that out for
myself (other than asking this
question here)? Can I somehow tell
apt-get to list all packages, and grep
for ssl? Or do I need to know the
"lib*-dev" naming convention?
If you're linking with -lfoo then the library is likely libfoo.so. The library itself is probably part of the libfoo package, and the headers are in the libfoo-dev package as you've discovered.
Some people use the GUI "synaptic" app (sudo synaptic) to (locate and) install packages, but I prefer to use the command line. One thing that makes it easier to find the right package from the command line is the fact that apt-get supports bash completion.
Try typing sudo apt-get install libssl and then hit tab to see a list of matching package names (which can help when you need to select the correct version of a package that has multiple versions or other variations available).
Bash completion is actually very useful... for example, you can also get a list of commands that apt-get supports by typing sudo apt-get and then hitting tab.
Another way to install openssl library from source code on Ubuntu, follows steps below, here WORKDIR is your working directory:
sudo apt-get install pkg-config
cd WORKDIR
git clone https://github.com/openssl/openssl.git
cd openssl
./config
make
sudo make install
# Open file /etc/ld.so.conf, add a new line: "/usr/local/lib" at EOF
sudo ldconfig
You want the openssl-devel package.
At least I think it's -devel on Ubuntu. Might be -dev. It's one of the two.
As a general rule, when on Debian or Ubuntu and you're missing a development file (or any other file for that matter), use apt-file to figure out which package provides that file:
~ apt-file search openssl/bio.h
android-libboringssl-dev: /usr/include/android/openssl/bio.h
libssl-dev: /usr/include/openssl/bio.h
libwolfssl-dev: /usr/include/cyassl/openssl/bio.h
libwolfssl-dev: /usr/include/wolfssl/openssl/bio.h
A quick glance at each of the packages that are returned by the command, using apt show will tell you which among the packages is the one you're looking for:
~ apt show libssl-dev
