xchat-xsys doesn't work in 8.04

i can confirm this bug with xchat and xsys on ubuntu 8.04

Confrmed as well

I confirm... ubuntu 8.04

Confirmed aswell here on 8.04. Installing package 'libpciaccess0 - Generic PCI access for X' does not provide the needed file.

I confirm too, under hardy. Looking for libpci.so.2 but doesn't exist in 8.04, package libpci2 seem to have been stopped for hardy, was existing for gutsy ( http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/libpci2 ).

i've made a new binary that work perfectly with any ubuntu.

try that one, and make sure that u have "audacious" installed on your system

( sudo apt-get install audacious )

get it here -> http://sgerson.free.fr/wow/xsys-plugin.so

and copy it to /usr/lib/xchat2/plugins

(sudo cp xsys-plugin.so /usr/lib/xchat2/plugins/ )

start xchat and try /sysinfo

that x-sys is the 2.2.0+minor change in parce.c to show "Distro: ubuntu X.XX"...

here is the new source:
http://sgerson.free.fr/wow/parse.c

What? I don't see this being related to the problem

doolz, what i did was i way to use xsys.

cos that package is too old, and use libs that dont exist anymore.

actually i think that my version is the best one for use in ubuntu 8.04.

i've made a .deb file.

download, and run in terminal

$ sudo dpkg -i xchat-xsys.deb

to remove i use

$ sudo aptitude remove xchat-xsys

That broke my system!

system broke!, can't even use the package manager

Software index is broken

It is impossible to install or remove any software. Please use the package manager "Synaptic" or run "sudo apt-get install -f" in a terminal to fix this issue at first.

? ? ? (I'm a test rat)

hmm, i really dont know what's wrong in your system.

i will start some tests here, btw, dont try installing that .deb again on another system...

i installed it on my system and on my mother laptop (both ubuntu 8.04) and got no errors... but something is wrong i think...

sorry for that problem.

try

touch /home/doolz/.xchat2/xsys2.conf

install/remove again ...

btw with only the binnary (not the deb one) you shouldn't get any errors.

i really like that xsys plugin on my xchat : ) good luck.

yes that bug also broke my system i had to use this to remove it and get synaptic to work again

sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq xchat-xsys

if it complains of a missing file just make the file yourself and try again

from what i could tell on my system when synaptic trys to uninstall it it trys to uninstall files that dont exist from /root

hmmmmm, thank you goofee691, now i know where is the problem. ( a little script to remove sys2.conf )

the strange thing is that i didnt have that problem here... but ok, now i will fix that.

i hope no more problems.

well unfortunately it seems as though it is also trying to install to root also.

when installing i get an error of

mv: cannot move '/usr/lib/xchat/plugins/xsys2.conf' to '/root/.xchat2/': not a directory

i overlooked this when i posted last because i was doing other things at the time but hopefully this is the only other problem

i forgot to mention im on amd64 aparently this is for 32bit, do you think it would be possible to make a 64bit binary if not i could make it and upload it
AutoLoad failed for: /usr/lib/xchat/plugins/xsys-plugin.so
 /usr/lib/xchat/plugins/xsys-plugin.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32

actually i just went here http://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/xchat-xsys/download
not sure if using that bed will break anything but i also do not know if it tried to install to the root dir since i created the .xchat directory in the root's home folder

I forgot to mention that I'm using x86_64 as well. (excuse me I'm a noob) Got everything back in order. I want to thank Gerson "fserve" Barreiros for all his efforts/quick responses! And I can't forget to mention that Goofee691 found the solution for my xchat-xsys problems, that package from http://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/xchat-xsys/download works great. thank you much!

aaah, x86_64, well ok, im running x86 on both of my systems.

if someone is looking for a x86 package, here is my new deb.

that one will not move the conf file for the root system, so i hope no more problems.

and im using a modified parce.c to show "Ubuntu 8.04"... and not Debian lenny/sid when using /distro or /sysinfo.

=) cya

ah think you could upload your sources so i could build it in a x86_64 version that also will show "Ubuntu 8.04"

http://sgerson.free.fr/wow/parse.c => that was the only one file modified by me...

get the source from http://dev.gentoo.org/~chainsaw/xsys/

( http://dev.gentoo.org/~chainsaw/xsys/download/xsys-2.2.0.tar.bz2 )

and put my parce.c inside

you will need have pciutils-dev / audacious (i dont remember if need something like audacious-dev, dont think so), to make it, good luck.

This is fixed by xchat-xsys 2.2.0-1 from debian unstable (main).
Subscribing motu-release since it needs two acks.

Since the package is completely broken at the moment, ack#1 from me.

no rdepends, ACK from me.

Confirmed.

[21:47] <norsetto> macd: we can fix xchat-xsys, we only need one ack from motu-release (sistpoty?)
[21:49] <sistpoty> norsetto: looks like a good idea... unless zul has objections
[21:50] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 188990 in xchat-xsys "xchat-xsys doesn't work in 8.04"
[21:51] <sistpoty> norsetto: heh
[21:52] <sistpoty> norsetto: ACK'd

Archive admins, can we sync xchat-xsys 2.2.0-1 from debian unstable (main)?

it seems there's already an update. i just installed sudo apt-get install xchat-xsys .. and everything seems to be working fine now....

I forgot to add that it doesn't display my distro (Ubuntu Hardy) properly and theres a lot of space between CPU and 6700:

os ( Linux 2.6.24-16-generic i686 ) distro ( Debian lenny/sid ) cpu ( 2 x Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6700 @ 2.66GHz (GenuineIntel) @ 2.67GHz )

only my package display "distro" right... the new package from official repositories isn't with my fix inside : (

Please open a new bug about the distro display, and feel free to attach a patch or debdiff to it.

I just filled the bug...
