Create native installer RPM under Ubuntu

Hi all

I create the native installers .deb on an Ubuntu machine from a .air file successfully. I use AIR 2.6 SDK.

On the same machine I tried to create .rpm packages leave the same .air file, but without success.

It seems that the .rpm package is corrupted. After some tests it turned out that the .rpm is just a renamed .deb package.

Should I build the package under another distribution that supports the .rpm or maybe I did something wrong?

Thanks for any help,

Paolo

Hi Paolo,.

This is the expected behavior. In order to create native installers for a particular distribution, you must create in native mode on this machine. for example, on Windows, you can create an exe on Mac a dmg on a .deb Debian distributions and so forth. (You can rename any other extensions, but it won't work)

For example, to generate an rpm file, you must be in native mode on a distribution that supports the RPM (supported RPM distributions are Opensuse and Fedora)

I hope this helps.

  • Why my TestStand deployment installation appear under my Windows will not start menu of my target machine?

    Why my TestStand deployment installation appear under my Windows will not start menu of my target machine?

    I managed to install the deployments of work to the target machines. However, I expected to see the classified facility "My TestStand system" in my Start menu, but it is not. Am I misunderstanding something here?

    Also, if I do another target second deployment to the station as "My TestStand system B", all LabVIEW files in my previous installation for "My system TestStand" disappear from the directory (c:\Program Files\My TestStand system) target.

    I use TestStand Professional 4.2.1 on Windows XP and LabVIEW 2009 development station.

    Thank you Paul,.

    That solved my second problem and inspired me to look deeper for the response to my first problem. The answer lies in the tab 'distributed file","Installer properties' box 'create a program item:

    Wouldn't be nice if it is automatically checked by default for main sequence files? Wouldn't also nice if "Upgrade Code" was regenerated automatically by default whenever we have saved the file *.tsd under another name?

  • VMware Player 6.0.6 does not start under UBUNTU 15.04

    Hello everyone,

    After installing UBUNTU 15.04 (from 14.10), I have a problem to start VMware-Player.

    Hello mmccurdy,

    Thank you for your message. But due to the fact that I use Ubuntu 15.04 in 32-bit version, it is not possible to install the bundle - x 64 drive.

    After searching a few other items, I found the solution now (you can find the entire instructions under http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=1281

    First steps:

    cURL http://pastie.org/pastes/9934018/downloadhttp://pastie.org/pastes/9934018/download o /tmp/vmnet-3.19.patch

    CD/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source

    tar - xf vmnet.tar

    patch - p0-i /tmp/vmnet-3.19.patch

    After changing driver.c and userif.c, it is necessary to change too NETIF. C in the vmnet-only folder as follows (see original under http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=1184)

    all about line 152:
    dev = alloc_netdev (sizeof * netIf, deviceName, VNetNetIfSetup);
    to do this:
    dev = alloc_netdev (sizeof * netIf, deviceName, NET_NAME_UNKNOWN, VNetNetIfSetup);

    Complete the changes to the file are VMNET-ONLY. Now the final stages:

    MV vmnet.tar vmnet.tar.SAVED

    tar - cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only

    RM - r vmnet-only

    VMware-modconfig - console - install-all

    then VMwarePlayer works very well.

    Used with:

    Linux ubuntu 3.19.0 - 17-generic #17 - Ubuntu SMP Wed May 6 16:46:32 UTC 2015 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

  • Native installer with ID Apple Developer certificate signing

    I am signing my AIR OSX app with Flash Builder to 'Export Release Build' 4.6 option. For this I use certificate 'Developer ID application' Apple in order to install and run my application on OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion.

    After you have identified the correct certificates in the chain and exporting all p12 format (I chose 'Developer ID of Application', 'CA Developer ID' and 'Apple Root CA' within the Keychain Access on my Mac application) I got the following error: "error of creation of the native installer: packaging failed.» Make sure that your computer's time is synchronized and your certificate is valid.

    Does anyone has idea how to properly sign the AIR applications using certificates Developer ID?

    Yes, I did. I created Apple Developer ID request certificate on the Apple web site. I imported this to Keychain Access by double-clicking the .cer file downloaded. I also checked that I had installed the certificates Developer ID certification authority CA root and Apple. Then I used utility codesign of the terminal to sign all the binaries in the .app folder and the folder itself. In my case that boiled down to:

    Codesign f - v s ' Developer ID of Application: Company Inc. "'Install My App.app/Contents/Resources/MyApp/Contents/MacOS/MyApp."

    Codesign f - v s ' Developer ID of Application: Company Inc. ""Install MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/Install MyApp.

  • Error with creating an installer of Firefox customized with 7zip

    Hello

    I tried to create an installer of Firefox for Windows, in accordance with the instructions on the following page:

    http://Mike.kaply.com/2012/02/14/customizing-the-Firefox-Installer-on-Windows-2012/

    I followed the instructions in the section "how I decompress the installer of Firefox?", "how I group my add-on with the installer of Firefox?", and "How to repackage the Installer?", on this agenda, including measures to integrate the modules in Firefox ( http://mike.kaply.com/2012/02/09/integrating-add-ons-into-firefox/ ).

    However, when I open the final .exe, 7zip automatically attempts to extract the content, and I get the following response from 7zip: "the system cannot find the file specified." I'm not sure if it is purely because I didn't install MozillaBuild, as all stages until the final .exe running seem to work. Or maybe I did something wrong, that my changes in the preferences file are not implemented. Maybe the solution is obsolete?

    I will be happy to provide all the relevant details, such as Windows OS, version of 7zip, Firefox browser version, etc.

    Thanks for all your help! I actually ended up solving my problem, after a few failed attempts. Here is the solution:

    When http://mike.kaply.com/2012/02/09/integrating-add-ons-into-firefox/ said that you "create a directory with the same ID as your Add on...» ", reference is made to the ID in your install.rdf file. You need to go to yours, find the ID field, then rename your directory/XPI to this ID.

    There are two fields of identification in your install.rdf file. You want one - one CCK2 invites you to write like an e-mail (for example, "somename@somedomain") address. The second - I think - is a constant, because it is the same ID than that of XPI Hello world of Mozilla.

  • Why FN buttons do not work under Ubuntu 7.10

    Caind of Offtopic.
    Why the FN and other special buttons (even remote) working on other mobile manufacturing under Ubuntu 7.10 ideally and don't work don't not on Toshiba at all?

    Perhaps because Toshiba does not provide drivers for Linux OS
    Is that you need special drivers and tools that would control the FN keys, but unfortunately, the Linux drivers are not available on the European driver Toshiba page.

  • Problem creating bootable installation for El Capitan

    Hello

    When I try to create an installation program for El Capitan bootable on a new MacBook Pro (A1278) in November 2015 using the string SUDO included in

    HT201372: Create a bootable OS x Installer, I get an immediate failure with the answer "sudo: failed to initialize the PAM: no such file or directory." Diskmaker X loops on it and runs into the same answer of the problem.  Is there a solution or the solution to this problem?

    If you do not already have a current backup, please backup all data, and then reinstall the OS. * you don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need the backup unless something is wrong. If the system has been upgraded an earlier version of Mac OS X, you may need to the Apple ID and password to use.

    There are ways to back up a computer that is not fully functional. Ask if you need advice.

    If you installed the runtime Java distributed by Apple, and still need, you will need to reinstall it. It goes the same for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.

  • I can't create an installer, after install the Vision Builder demo and then uninstall it. I can't create a Labview Installer more, he asks me an installer of generator of Vision, even if Labview my program does not have nothing to do with it...

    I can't create an installer on LabView, after install the Vision Builder demo and then uninstall it. I can't create a Labview Installer more, he asks me an installer of generator of Vision, even if Labview my program does not have nothing to do with it...

    Hi, Shada, this can happen if you include additional installers to your installer for example DAQmx. When you do this the installation program must include other files like MAX (Measuremente and Automation Explorer). Probably when you installed Vision Builder he updated MAX, so when your Installer try to understand MAX, his request the source where it was installed in your computer in this case Vision Builder.

    Here you can cache information so it is not asked once again, or you can download a version more recent fo DAQmx, then it will update MAX and change the dependecy.

  • Need to create an installation media for Windows 8 (not 8.1)

    I recently had need to reinstall Windows 8.1 due to a crash problem. I am now stuck because of the key, I bought and that a Microsoft tech I had a chat session with said use the button install Windows 8 on the following page:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only

    Well, it doesn't work and think that I have no internet connection then further down the same page is a link to create the installation media if you get this message but isn't only for 8.1 8. My key does not work on a clean install of Windows 8.1, which I already have a DVD. When I came across this problem, a comment I found said to use a generic key because the installation will not continue. Well, it worked, but when I tried to activate Windows with my purchased key, he acknowledged, because apparently my installation media was just 8.1 and not Pro that I bought. I asked the tech if I could use the web page above to reinstall Windows again and he said yes, but make sure you use Windows 8.

    I saw the link above referenced in many places on this forum for people who want to install 8 don't not 8.1, but it leads to the same place, and when you launch mediacreationtool.exe, there are only options for 8.1.

    I've been going round in circles on links to Microsoft, but the creation of the only available media seems to be to 8.1. Where can I download the installation for Windows 8 only media?

    It shows how to use a WIndows 8 key to activate a Windows Installer Clean 8.1 in stage 4 information box in the blue link.

  • Can I create the installation media for Windows 8 operating system Windows 8?

    I encountered some problems with the installation of the Windows 8 client that I expect to be too long to attempt to repair. I suggested to the client that the operating system will simply be reinstalled. The customer has no recovery media. I have not found any recovery partition. I found the instructions at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only to create the installation media, but it takes that I create the media from the computer on which I wish to install Windows 8. This computer came with Windows preloaded 8 factory.

    So I can use this computer to create the installation media, and then reformat the hard drive and reinstall windows 8?

    There is no method to create the installation media (the original installation media does not exist).  The computer maker several times will include a program to help create your own recovery media, but which varies from one company to the other.  You could contact them to ask if you don't see the program, or they can also send you a copy (Dell sent me a free CD by fed - ex overnight when I asked for one for a Dell Latitude Laptop - laptop I has not yet bought them even!)

  • IE8 Crash with a native installation of IE11 and using the proxy pac file.

    This issue seems to be specific to a windows 7 with a native installation of IE11 and using a cap of proxy for the configuration file.  From what I can understand newspapers, all the right files are take care of packaging.

    What happens on computers of 32 and 64 bit.  The IE8 was captured by sheet of VMWare and the fix IEShims.dll is enabled.

    I tried the 'wow64 = 0' setting as well as the 'AltArchitectureShortcut = 0' in the file package.ini.  None of these settings seem to help.

    Any idea would be appreciated.

    Lance

    Updated the original message to match the correct number. Post edited by: lcourson

    So after much troubleshooting, I have discovered that the file which was causing issues is jsproxy.dll.  This file has changed between Windows XP (which is where IE8 has been captured since) and Windows 7.  There is one missing method in version XP, InternetGetProxyInfoEx.  I just ran across this issue because we use a pac file for our proxy assignments.  This seems to be a similar problem for the IEShims.dll http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2038758fix.

    This fix should be the same that the IEShims hotfix, copy the version jsproxy.dll from a machine of IE8 windows 7 to the package and recompile.

    This put it out there in case someone else is going through this issue.

  • Lack of option "Native Installer" Export Release Build for AIR application

    I was wondering if anyone else has to face it. Regardless of the type of soft AIR that I work on all I get is the export to the file option. I'm updating with AIR 2.5 SDK Flex 4.1 SDK on a current install of Vista 64.

    You need to update Flash Builder 4.0.1 for the native installer option in the export Release Build.

    Your newspaper seems to indicate that you are on Flash Builder 4.0 (just using the SDK 4.1 won't, you must upgrade the builder himself for this).

Maybe you are looking for
