Salix 13.37 - other
Re: Salix 13.37 - other
These look great!
Having trouble though:
Thought it might be because this happened automatically:
so I did this:
which didn't help.
I expect I'm missing something obvious here
EDIT Same thing with zgv. I should mention I'm using the Ratpoison beta
Having trouble though:
Code: Select all
lucy[downloads]$ svp -w SalixStartUpGuide_13.37_draft1.pdf
svgalib: Cannot open /dev/mem
Are you running this program as root or suid-root?
Code: Select all
Would you like to reset all directory permissions to 755 (drwxr-xr-x) and
directory ownerships to root.root ([y]es, [n]o)? n
Code: Select all
root[downloads]# chmod -R 755 /usr/bin/svp
root[downloads]# chown -R root /usr/bin/svp

Thankyou lmello.
I must read up more on permissions!

So if that's not the best permissions setting, what would be better?
It's annoying when install scripts default to *not* using "sane settings" - if you don't watch the thing like a hawk, you will miss your chance. I think I understand why not, but in that case, wouldn't it make sense for the script to wait for user input rather than timing out? At least this script makes a suggestion (755 and root), but I seem to have misunderstood it.

Re: Salix 13.37 - other
Don't know. I was just pointing at a possible security risk. I guess the best would be if the program weren't requiring root permission, which seems to be overkill for a mere ?pdf viewer?.mimosa wrote: So if that's not the best permissions setting, what would be better?
You're supposed to test packages and check the build log anyway for official packages, so that shouldn't be a problem. Apart from that if you're packaging for a while you know about this.mimosa wrote: It's annoying when install scripts default to *not* using "sane settings" - if you don't watch the thing like a hawk, you will miss your chance.

It's not timing out btw, the packaging script is called with cmdline options that answer those questions. After all waiting for user input is no possibility at all, as buildscripts are meant to work fully automatically. That's the whole idea of having a build script.
Re: Salix 13.37 - other
I know this is an old topic but I want to install the geany-plugin GeanyGenDoc on my Salix 13.37 (64-bit) which is missing the ctpl package. So I searched the forum and found the link from lmello which unfortunately is not working anymore.
Can anybody give me a hint how to get the ctpl package for the geany-plugins?
By following the url for the ctpl package I'm getting the message that I don't have permission to access /lmello/pkg/l/ctpl/ on this server.lmello wrote:ctpl - http://people.salixos.org/lmello/pkg/l/ctpl/
