This week I got my new laptop (rented from the University), a Dell Latitude D630. Almost everything worked right out of the box with Debian Unstable, only the Hotkeys are not working yet. I guess thats the price for not choosing Ubuntu :). I tried to install Zattoo (Sunday is Tatort-day), but it failed because it depends on libxul0d, which is not included with xulrunner 1.9 in Sid. After setting up a pbuilder environment and a local Apt-Repository with Reprepro, building xulrunner 1.8 from Ubuntu Hardy was a matter of waiting some minutes (2x2.2 Ghz + 4 Megabyte cache :). I love pbuilder. After adding the compiled results and the Zattoo binary-package into the repository, apt-get install zattoo installed the package and its dependencies. Zattoo started and logged in, but complained about missing the Adobe Flash plugin, which was installed (flashplugin-nonfree) and segfault'ed after buffering. This could be fixed by linking /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/xulrunner/plugins. ]]> /tech Sun, 10 Aug 2008 09:34 GMT
