beam:

Code: Select all

$ pacman -Q beam
error: package "beam" not found

Thanks.

Hmm... do you have anything in the clouds?
I mean that is what it looks like when the program is on a different server. Probably some music or something. It is a service from mp3.com.

Interesting. All I've been doing is scrobbling to last.fm what I'm listening to.

Wonder if I might have hit up a video or something that uses it?

Posted: **31 Jul 2010, 21:46**

It is a script apparently; http://www.linux.org/apps/AppId_7556.html
Do you have a portable mp3 player? You might be right about the video or some other program?

Here is yaourt beam output:

Interesting. I have an mp3 player, but it hasn't been hooked up in a couple days.

Thanks.

You could try a

Code: Select all

whereis beam-back.py

Or a search for the file.

Okay, will run that in a sec.

What's really strange about this, is none of these show as "installed":

Could be that a simple script would not turn up. A traditional search for files gives the same result?

Posted: **31 Jul 2010, 22:34**

What files would I search for, specifically? Thanks.

Posted: **31 Jul 2010, 22:37**

beam-back.py -only that one.
There must be something on your box to trigger the activity.

Posted: **31 Jul 2010, 22:47**

Yeah, but when I ran the whereis for it, it came back negative?

I guess I'm not sure what exactly you want me to run on it (beam-back.py).
