Display Link RPM package

Support
1

Hello,

I´ve been a huge mandriva fan since Mandriva 2006 and moved to Mageia since Mageia 1.

I´ve been trying to create a package that works fine in fedora but not in mageia and I was wondering if it works in Mandriva.

The problem is that when installed it complains about bad scripplets, it seems this has to be systemd scripplets since Mageia systemd is different… Is this the same case with OpenMandriva?

I´ve never created any packages before so this means that I am a begginer…

Does someone knows what to change or do when it comes to systemd scripplets and what do I need to do in the .specs file to make it work?.

This package what it does is that it downloads the ubuntu .run file, unpacks it and it creates a 32bit and 64 bit rpm that works with fedora and other RHEL distros.

This is the driver for the displaylink Dock stations also distributed by lenovo, HP, and more.

The next links is from the developer.

Any help would be appreciated…

Hi,
I’ve had a quick look - it fails to build here for various reasons, but none of them are related to systemd.

First, the filename of the download seems wrong - on synaptics’ website, I can find only
‘DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for Ubuntu5.6.1-EXE.zip’
but the content seems to be what is expected.

Next, displaylink-sleep-extractor.sh fails with

  • bash /home/bero/abf/displaylink-rpm/displaylink-sleep-extractor.sh displaylink-installer.sh
    ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘/lib/systemd/system-sleep/displaylink.sh’: Permission denied

This is expected - our builders don’t run as root, so they don’t have write access to /lib/systemd. You probably want to make sure it extracts to %{buildroot}/lib/systemd/system-sleep/displaylink.sh instead.

Lastly, it fails with error: File not found: /home/bero/abf/displaylink-rpm/BUILDROOT/displaylink-1.12.0-1.x86_64/usr
/libexec/displaylink/DisplayLinkManager
This turns out to be because I’m building on a znver1 machine, and the spec doesn’t know about this architecture (it should be treated the same as x86_64 in this context, since it is a superset of x86_64 and there is no special znver1 version available).

After fixing that, the package builds - but I don’t have the hardware to see if it actually works.

I don’t see an obvious reason why it wouldn’t work.

Hello Bero,

Thanks for your quick response.

This is expected - our builders don’t run as root, so they don’t have write access to /lib/systemd. You probably want to make sure it extracts to %{buildroot}/lib/systemd/system-sleep/displaylink.sh instead

I am a packager noob… It reminds me when I started to use Mandriva back in 2006 LOL!!

According to the next section it does seem to have %{buildroot}/lib/systemd/system-sleep/displaylink.sh

pm-util

bash %{SOURCE3} displaylink-installer.sh > %{buildroot}%{_prefix}/lib/systemd/system-sleep/displaylink.sh
chmod +x %{buildroot}%{_prefix}/lib/systemd/system-sleep/displaylink.sh

I wonder what you changed in the specs to make it work.

I my case I only changed 2 dependency names, libusbx to libusb1.0_0 and xorg-x11-server-Xorg to x11-server-xorg

Once I run make the packages are created fine, but once I install them I get:

$dnf install displaylink-1.12.0-1.x86_64.rpm

Thanks for the tip and sorry about that Rugyada,

Since I haven´t been able to make a working rpm on either open mandriva or mageia I think I´ll move to fedora where these package already works. I understand these package is probably useless to most mandriva or mageia users anyway since you might not use any displaylink docking station or OEM like lenovo, HP, Dell…

Regards and thanks for your help Bero

Hello, I am back!!

Bero, since I read that you where able to make the package build… I wonder if you got a scriptlet error while installing.

In my case I am able to build the package but once the file is installing I get a scriptlet error,

Hello,

  • OpenMandriva Lx version:

Rome

  • Desktop environment (KDE, LXQT…):

KDE Plasma

  • Description of the issue (screenshots if relevant):

I created a package but once I install it I get a scriplet error.

I created a report before but I got no response from no one.

I also use Mageia Linux and I was told that systemd fedora scriplets are not supported, so I wonder if this is the same case on openmandriva.

Unfortunately I am not that savy to change those scriptlets to a compatible form that Openmandriva can install and work.

Otherwise I am stuck with fedora o ubuntu.

I would suggest that this is not the best place to resolve something like that. These forums are intended mostly for users helping other users with problems using OMLx. I would suggest instead talking to OM developers at OpenMandriva Chat. Keep in mind that people may not be available right away or may be in another time zone. One needs to give people time to respond.

  1. It does not look true:

(The post also is marked as the solution)

  1. To start a new thread just to link the old one regarding the same issue is useless, other than against the netiquette. I merge it.

This is also an option, nothing wrong with that :slight_smile:

Well, I think theres is something wrong by getting stuck in fedora!! :grinning:

I am a mandriva user since 2010 and I don´t live fedora or other distro… I am using Mageia also but they don´t have that many packagers and time.

I came here to find help on creating this package an bero was very nice. (Thank You again Bero)

Thanks also to rugyada and sorry again for not adding things as code, I was not that familiar but thanks to you I know how to do it.

The problem with this package that it uses fedora systemd packages and once installed I get scripplets errors.

I will ask for help on the chat you recommended. :cowboy_hat_face:

Regards

I’ve added displaylink packages to cooker, done a bit differently (kernel modules belong into the kernel package and not something external – that’s the only way to make sure they always match the current kernel version).

Since I don’t have any displaylink hardware, I can’t check if it works, but it looks good in that it doesn’t spew any error messages and the related applications can start.

You need a current cooker system running kernel-rc 6.6.0-0.rc3.1 or higher (the release kernel, 6.5.x, does NOT have the needed kernel module yet – we test kernel modules in kernel-rc first), and the displaylink package from the non-free tree.
