Download UltraStar Deluxe v1.3.2-beta SourceCode.zip (88.2 MB)


After that, with "./configure"
configure: error: no Free Pascal Compiler found  

So looking here
https://sourceforge.net/p/ultrastardx/wiki/Compiling%20UltraStar%20Deluxe%20on%20GNU-Linux/

sudo apt-get install fpc
After that

configure: error:
Package sdl2 was not found in the pkg-config search path.

Just googling
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev


New error
configure: error:
Package SDL2_image was not found in the pkg-config search path.

sudo apt-get install libsdl2-image-dev

configure: error:
Package sqlite3 was not found in the pkg-config search path.

But I do have sqlite3 installed

sqlite3 ya está en su versión más reciente (3.11.0-1ubuntu1).

Full message
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `sqlite3.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

But with some googling I installed
sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev

Next error
configure: error:
Package lua was not found in the pkg-config search path


Next install
sudo apt-get install liblua5.3-dev

Next error
configure: error:
Package libavformat was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Next install
sudo apt-get install libavformat-dev

Next error:
configure: error:
Package portaudio-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Next install
sudo apt-get install portaudio19-dev

But that uninstall some packages
jaaa libasound2-plugins:i386 libjack-jackd2-0 libjack-jackd2-0:i386 sonic-visualiser
and it shows some dependencies


After that, with make

src/media/UMediaCore_FFmpeg.pas(44,3) Fatal: Can't find unit swscale used by UMediaCore_FFmpeg
Fatal: Compilation aborted

After more googling

sudo apt-get install libswscale-dev

Problem desapears with a new ./configure (not retrying make directly)

New error, almost at the end

Unable to download/upgrade apps with google play, analysis, workaround, not yet good solution...

I began to suffer the next problem:
With a lot of free space on device, Google Play says it is unable to upgrade some apps

Message
"Error
Error downloading "xxxxx". There is insufficient space on the device"

It happens even with the smallest upgrade o new app (for example goo.gl URL Shortener, less than 1 MB, unable to be installed just after uninstall!!!!)

Just googling, I found this link, which points to "Google Play Services" 

http://forums.androidcentral.com/android-4-1-4-2-4-3-jelly-bean/450097-fixed-error-downloading-app-name-there-insufficient-space-device.html#post4054747

I found somewhere that removing Google Play Services upgrade / downgrading to factory version it began to work, and testing it, it works:
-Step 1: remove  Google Play Services upgrades
-Step 2: install app ugrades previously failing
-Step 3: reboot phone and reinstall again Google Play Services upgrades (Google Maps and Google Mail need last version!)

But it seems to be a temporal solution, as the error reappears
(It seems to be the same situation described here, just works for 5-10 mins http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/91840/regarding-the-error-downloading-insufficient-space-error-in-the-google-play-s)

So most times I have a new upgrade I have to do the whole process, so I need a real solution, not just a workaround.

Googling, I found more "patches" like this: http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/google-android/how-fix-androids-insufficient-storage-available-error-message-3498845/ which indeed needs to install a new app... this is not a solution, as it seems you are going to have again the same problem, and it is just a tool to solve every time you have it.

This seems a real solution: to resize cache partition

http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/27083/google-play-error-downloading-app-insufficient-space

When I saw the error I checked this
shell@android:/ # df
Filesystem             Size   Used   Free   Blksize
...
/cache                 370M     6M   364M   4096

So it seems cache partition is not full ... and this is not exactly the problem?
I tried to remove just "Google Play Services" cache (663 KB to 0 KB), it took a while, and /cache partition usage did not change, and the error persists.



 
It seems clear it is a Gooble Play Services bug, I will try to search for a Google report about this and a good solution, not just a patch.
In XDA I found this post, somehow related
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766378


Any new idea or new info will be appreciated!
I will edit this post with new info

Edit 2015/07/17: Tested that after five app install, same message appearse and I am not able to upgrade more apps, not just "Google Play Services". After reboot, with old Google Play Services, all apps are installed ok, including Google Play Services upgrade ...

Edit 2015/08/09: Tested that the same app can be installed from Fdroid if available, and even really big apps (like LibreOffice reader, 50 MB), so it is really a Google Play Services bug. Trying to install an app from web google play, it does install ok?

Edit 2015/08/21: It seems finally solved, but not intentionally. It has been working during last week. How? I decided to replace Twitter official client (it was installed as system app, so I removed it with Titanium backup), and I installed twidere (available in Google Play and F-Droid). After that, Google Play updates run smoothly ... maybe Google Play is not ready to find "wrong system apps", like a "system twitter".

Edit 2015/08/26: same problem, but message has changed.
It happened with a whatsapp update, after a lot of updates without problem, and after I installed some new apps from Google Play also without problem. Same workaround has worked with whatsapp update. Today it was happening with gmail update,I  was going to put here error message in english, but after changing language in settings ... it worked!
With spanish language again it fails again !
"Espacio de almacenamiento insuficiente
No hay suficiente espacio en este dispositivo para descargar "(nombre app)". Puedes eliminar aplicaciones o contenido que ya no necesites y volver a intentarlo.
[CANCEAR] [VER ALMACENAMIENTO]"
Somehow some google services are restarted after language change: for example gmail notifications reappear.
But in english again, same error
"Insufficient storage
This device doesn't have enough space to download "(app name). Consider deleting apps or content you no longer need and try again.
[CANCEL] [VIEW STORAGE]"

It will continue ...

Tracking twitter and TTYtter

I would like to know if a special word appears in twitter ...

I found some tools
http://www.socialbrite.org/2011/01/11/guide-to-free-social-media-monitoring-tools/
but most of them are not free, just 30 days free trial.

But in previous link

• Track is a little-known Twitter feature that lets you track keywords and have them sent directly to your mobile phone as soon as they’re posted.

It seems really old (2007) and it seems SMS is mandatory?
https://blog.twitter.com/2007/tracking-twitter

After some googling I found this

How to send a track command?
With my first attempt "track" in comand line  ... result is a tweet with "track" text

http://www.splitbrain.org/blog/2008-01/22-list_of_twitter_commands

Trying with "/track word" it says
/track word
*** changed: track => word
*** (transmitting to background)
*** changed: track => word



Maybe is just that.
But how to test it works?

With /track I can't see expected result "Ask twitter to return a list of all currently tracked terms. " but
TTYtter> /track
*** invalid command
*** to pass as a tweet, type /%%




http://www.floodgap.com/software/ttytter/#built

With Ctrl+C I see
cleaning up.
*** you were tracking:
-track='word'
So it seems it is just for that session. Running again ttytter and quiting, it says just "cleaning up."
