Setting up Collectd Collection3 on Ubuntu Lucid 10.04

iSCSI

sudo -s
pkg install network/iscsi/target
svcadm enable -s stmf
svcadm enable -s iscsi/target
zfs create -o mountpoint=none rpool/iscsi
zfs create -V 8G -s rpool/iscsi/yourmom
sbdadm create-lu /dev/zvol/rdsk/rpool/iscsi/yourmom
sbdadm list-lu

Use that GUID from the sbdadm output (my GUID below):

stmfadm add-view 600144f096c28d0000004dbeb9df0001
itadm create-target
itadm list-target

Creating audio from mkv:

First we need to create a WAV with mplayer.

mplayer -vc dummy -vo null -ao pcm:file=output.wav video.mkv

If you find that mplayer is taking its sweet time in outputting the WAV you may have to append the fast option like so:

mplayer -vc dummy -vo null -ao pcm:file=output.wav,fast video.mkv

Then we create an MP3 from the WAV.

lame -h -b128 output.wav output.mp3

#   and the '-arch <arch>' argument should be omitted, as it will confuse this compiler.

For others looking at the same issue:

We hashed this issue out off-list, using
configure CC='gcc -m64'

works, just
configure CFLAGS=-m64

ln -s /usr/bin/libtool .

For some packages, you seem to also run into trouble where libtool can't figure out what you're doing:

   $ libtool --mode=compile target-gcc -g -O2 -c foo.c
   libtool: compile: unable to infer tagged configuration
   libtool: compile: specify a tag with `--tag'

OK, so it couldn't figure out that we're compiling C code. No problem, just add the tag --tag=CC. Works when we compile:

  * [[16][Compiling HandBrake on OpenSolaris]]
  * [[17][Compiling Handbrake CLI on Nexenta]]
  * [[18][Compiling and installing ffmpeg on Solaris]]

make install fails with strange "cycle detected" errors from find and a "libavdevice.a was not found anywhere!"

   * This is because it is trying to use /usr/sbin/install which appears to be broken, or at least incompatible with GNU install.
   * Solve this by symlinking /usr/bin/ginstall to /use/bin/install (if /usr/bin is before /usr/sbin in the PATH). Essentially, get it to use ginstall instead and it works dandy. 

To install linux guest additions on Ubuntu, you need to add:

sudo apt-get install dkms

before hand.

to manually build the vb module:

/etc/init.d/vboxadd setup

There is a bug in the latest SVN source as you end up with an error like this:

libao2/ao_sun.c: In function 'realtime_samplecounter_available':
libao2/ao_sun.c:161:35: error: 'MSGTR_AO_SUN_RtscWriteFailed' undeclared (first use in this function)
libao2/ao_sun.c:161:35: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
gmake: *** [libao2/ao_sun.o] Error 1

Essentially MSGTR_AO_SUN_RtscWriteFailed hasn't been defined...... so let's find in out of an older release and add the following to help_mp.h:

#define MSGTR_AO_SUN_RtscWriteFailed "[AO SUN] rtsc: write failed.\n"

Mplayer doesn't like the default video out mode (I suspect due to my Nvidia card) but seems to work ok for -vo gl2. I've therefore added the following to my .mplayer/config:

hippy@monkey:~$ more .mplayer/config 
# Write your default config options here!
vo=gl2
