ah, cool, debsums works on the package that was made via dh-make-perl obviously I don't use that stuff enough. Had to go through my debian presentation to remember some of the utils :(. ah, the joys of rpm. This is what I have to figure out another day. rpm -q -l package.rpm reports package is not installed. rpm -i package.rpom reports package is already installed. --rebuilddb did not fix the situation. I don't want to remove the given package but maybe I have to. Action: alandd rasberrys the computer must get to bed now. If you have any thoughts, I'm leaving xchat up. isn't there a reinstall for rpm? yea. I'll try that real quick? this is one of those cases where --ignore-deps might be OK to use does 'freshen' do anything? probably bitches that there's nothing to freshen :( freshen does nothing. I just want to know if the file I am missing is in the rpm. Why is that so hard? what are you all people looking at? just try rpm --force I can go get the source or a different rpm but I want to know why the file is not there to begin with. ah, -q -l is to list the contents of the rpm? yep ql that's the one that reports it is not installed alandd: give it the full-path to the file ok joyless also, it probably wants 'rpm -q -l package' rather than package.rpm if you want to list the files content on an rpm not install you need to use rpm -qlp where p == packages p?! YEp tada! Action: dcmwai is a RHCE :) hehe :) hmm, the file in question is not there. Action: alandd gapes at the RHCE alandd, what files are you looking? sa-learn is missing from my spamassassin. This is on a red hat 9 based - clarkconnect box alandd, then the easier way to solve will be... reinstall spamassassin using rpm -ivh --force or if you have apt (for redhat) installed, you might try Action: alandd doesn't like --force apt-get check;apt-get update;apg-get install spamassassin alandd, you will have to use that force else when rpm detect a packages is there it WILL NOT install anything rpm -F and U will also not check it unless there are different alandd: was it there before? apg-get install spamassassin report that spamassassin is already the newest version Action: dcmwai think apt might be a better solution Action: dcmwai think remove spamassassin and reinstall it will be a better way :) LuftHans: don't know. just installed the os last week. wanted to train SA but sa-learn was not there. alandd, har... it shouldn't be there :) why not? Action: dcmwai think alandd have mixed up something... it support to be other packages alandd: ok, maybe spamassassin didn't get properly installed to begin with, hence the state of the package in the package db apt-cache search spamassassin Action: dcmwai give up Action: LuftHans writes clarkconnect on a debian CD and suggests alandd try his version ;-) heh well, wife is already harping on me to get to bed. she is right. apt-get remove and then apt-get install did NOT get me sa-learn. ok, gute n8 alandd, a very good suggestion is alandd, Get the rpm spamassassin OUT... OUT? alandd, Get the new tar.gz from spamassassin and install from sources If you worry about files location get checkinsatll and use it for the make install steps .. it will packages the make install installed files into a rpm and at least you can remove it easily :) that may be the way to go. I'll try another day. Thanks. checkinstall sounds like a good idea. good night. Nick change: alandd -> alanddZZzz alanddZZzz, it is a very good idea :) I love it :) Action: dcmwai have 2 spamassassin installed in the system ...

Vee: all data is critical. If you don't need to back it up delete it :) LuftHans, anymore introduction about snapshot.. LuftHans: well, some is backed up by it's nature.. the base system for instance can be installed in the same manner it was created so there's no need to back it up again. Vee: ah, but the original CDs are the backup :) right, that's what I'm saying.. and the source from which they're created is yet another back up.. so there's little point in furthering the redundancy.. source is not an adequate backup for binary in use source with a copy or reliably reproducable copy of the compilation environment might be ( this be for compiled languages, not compile on the fly language ) s/the source/the origin/ ...

Have you had problems to connect to the appserver with the sample? no reinhard: *ping* pong Every time i start gnue-forms with sample.gfd i get 10061 reinhard: I've had a crazy thought for something I want appserver to do. tell me :) siesel (jan@xdsl-195-14-206-129.netcologne.de) joined #gnuenterprise. 10061 ? reinhard: How hard to add a security layer on it, to enable it to generate files and gpg sign them? =) how would that be related to any of the current functions of appserver? Like, let's say you have an order entry system of some sort. But part of that needs to generate tickets for an unrelated system. reinhard: On-commit scripting and such. yes. Error while communicating with datasource. Error loging into appserver:( 10061, 'Connection refused') hmm. i understand As part of that, take a password that doesn't get committed to the database, but gets passed to appserver so that it can use it for signing. i think the answer would be something like "on-commit scripts can do anything you can pack into python code" the problem would be how to pass a passphrase or the private key into the appserver system Yeah. damokles: are you using .conf files you sended me? And it would also have to keep from stuffing the passphrase into a database somewhere. =) i think this question affects things i don't know too much about like whether things stored in RAM are secure or not or how to *make* them secure They're not, but I'm not too concerned about that level of security at this point. Action: reinhard has to commit that he's not a security expert at all nor am I after all, I still ahve a few windows machines up and running =) jcater: lol What I'm looking for, I guess, is whether or not appserver will allow fields to be filled in in forms (assumign forms can * out a field), support ssl transfer of data, and then can work with information that's not destined to go to a database. short answer: quite likely yes long answer: please don't expect it in the next point release ;-) Cool. i don't see any problem with SSL transfer as that will be a topic of gnue-rpc someday anyway I've been thinking that I might wrap GNU Radar (network management, like HP Openview) around gnue. I've been thinking that I should start again to work on appserver (after pausing for over a month now) :) btami: not exactly.

But the error still exists. jbailey: gnu-rpc should already works over ssl siesel: Does appserver use that? not at the moment damokles: please restart appserver and try again btami: done. But nothing change on the error. :-[ reinhard: Perhaps I need to come up with a list of clever features I want for appserver, and then beg lots. =) damokles, it looks like appserver is not watching the needed xmlrpc port. thanks siesel, i will try. jcater: btw. did you had time to look after the dcl report script yet? no, but I saw it on my list today and kicked myself For agreeing to do it? :) night all btami (~tamas@ngprs.pannongsm.hu) left irc: "Leaving" Thanks for your tips to you both btami and siesel. does it work now? siesel, yes it does. good night all. damokles (~damokle@pD9E45DC8.dip.t-dialin.net) left irc: "bye all" Nick change: md-afk -> mdupont night al all night reinhard (~reinhard@M1264P004.adsl.highway.telekom.at) left irc: "For each complex problem, there is a simple, understandable, obvious, and wrong solution." hi siesel_ (jan@xdsl-195-14-206-129.netcologne.de) joined #gnuenterprise. siesel_ (jan@xdsl-195-14-206-129.netcologne.de) left irc: Read error: 54 (Connection reset by peer) unbeliveable debian archive is open again :) hi mdupont hi siesel! btw. if you need some theoretical background for CRM systems have a look at: http://www.database-marketing.de/ Open in what sense?

InfoCentral.. kinda a membership database for non-profits and churches I think/wonder if derek's done something like that (though, probably not using appserver) derek? dneighbo_ over there Mister Busy(tm) lately.. :) hehe.. aren't we all :) I know he was working on something like a contact db for his church group or something using designer/forms/reports jcater (~jason@cpe-066-061-071-147.midsouth.rr.com) joined #gnuenterprise. interesting hmm it looks like las vegas on my street now jcater: you see any of what we had to say? jcater: you just gonna come in here and kernel panic on us? jcater: I dont s'pose there's any sort of clue left in logs or on the screen when it happens either? no Nick change: dneighbo_ -> derek I type startx Action: Vee hugs derek then screen goes black what driver? jcater: you apt-snagged all the nvidia stuff, untar'd the goodies in /usr/src and make-kpkg'd a new kernel_image and modules_image? the nvidia in my other box worked fine with the xf driver, just really really poorly.. but it worked.. what's it called? "nv" ? vs. Nvidia's "nvidia" driver.. <-- jcater has quit (Read error: 54 (Connection reset by peer)) followed by all my keyboard leds flashing in synchrinsation :) megatux: would like to talk in a few i ahve to read back log and have company right now I want to use the "nv" driver, honestly but when I use it, it tells me no card found or no device or something of that nature the performance difference is incredible hmmm true but I imagine performance of bitchx vs xchat is better :) hah Action: jcater will play with it some more tomorrow Action: jcater missed the megatux conversation what was it about? seriously, IIRC.. the glxgears demo fe: I would get like 200 or something with nv.. and it was upwards of 12-1400 with nvidia Action: jcater could reread the irc logs but lynx sucks too :) links man! :) the gist is.. so anyways, my real interest in gnue's app server is I need something for the project I'm working on.. InfoCentral.. kinda a membership database for non-profits and churches but he's having connection issues it looks like.. appserver, mind you.

I'm almost flooded death with the project. :( I'm now checking the ldap schema that I've mistaken created to suit own need ... :( Damn Then I've a webpage to code which is need to be up before the old Webhosting Company expiered (New hosting company new webpage) :) both have to be done bofore Jan :( Man ... Someone help me. brolewis (~Lewis@cs24243191-67.hot.rr.com) joined #gnuenterprise. howdy brother lewis howdy! you a Texan? indeed, I yam. sweet! :) and a little bit spicy. can't live w/o the TexMex myself brb So what brings you to our humble gathering this fine evening? megatux: brh, mebe megatux he and I are working together on a project. I thought I'd come and get in on the convo rather than making him relay it to me later dcmwai: I'm heading into a weekend of not worrying about any of the millions of things I needed to get done last month, or the two months before that. :) ahh, good idea brolewis. :) ok back company gone... let me read back log I'll probably sit back and just listen. megatux knows a lot more about this than I do. I'm just trying to learn. I've been working with PHP for about a year now, with about 2 years of C++ before that, so this is a bit over my head, but if I want to continue to develop, I want to know about it wb derek megatux... i have been checking out infocentral :) i even have it bookmarked with a "check back later" if i remember infocentral is all php based i was going to use it, but didnt like some things i was going to make it a GNU Enterprise application and then extend but anyhow.... i guess there are lots of questions i have and opinions mostly i am not loving a php based system and think appserver is way over kill for most churches unless they are some huge mega church what are your thoughts, then, derek? (I'm also a developer for InfoCentral)? ignore the question mark of course the thing that stopped me from downloading it when i found it was ..... "mysql" that and i couldnt find a demo (or the demo was broked) i stumbled on it probably 2 or 3 months ago well, Chris and I came in on InfoCentral when it was already an establish program and we have really just been making it more secure/feature rich and then restumbled on it in last two weeks or so it was a "stratch an itch" project and php/mysql worked for the needs of the original author as our church is growing rapidly and needs something web based has some appeal so i was willing to overlook php/web app :) have you found a working demo since then? Admitably the site is outdated. Its running 1.2.0 while we are on 1.2.5, which has seen a LOT of changes but i didnt want to jerk with installing mysql on my development machine and was too lazy to wget the sources to a production server to play well, the benefit of mysql is that it is quite ubiquitous. plus I've worked with a few churches to get their server setup and they need something easy to install, and mysql is easy however, as we look at possibly porting to GNUe, we are looking at changing databases as wel l ok, I'm back.. sorry.. reading backlog hope I haven't distorted things TOO bad, megatux :) derek: I was looking at GNUe's app server because I want to move beyond a simple web-based PHP app. brolewis: in my opinion in free software world its imperative to be database agnostic at a MINIMUM you should support mysql and postgres (as to not make people choose) right, and I would agree. derek: again, it was about coming into a project already established. We had talked about portability before, but then started looking to the App Server route as a bigger picture yes i agree appserver is great and all but would appear to be overkill especially considering.... I've worked with a few churches to get their server setup and they need something easy to install, it's tough to say though LOL. yes. This has been a concern of mine since the beginning. Chris and I have even thought about the possibility of the appserver being a completely different project there is appeal in appserver for a php client we recoginize that we want to be able to compete with the likes of Shelby and ACS, and that's hard to do on a PHP/MySQL conglomerate part of me was going to do CMS (church management system) a few years back with GNU Enterprise in 2 tier mode derek: I'm less concerned about ease of install than flexibility and competing with heavyweight apps and use gadfly or some local database (non server) what is shelby and ACS? Action: derek is user stupid when it comes to such things derek: probably the two most popular CMS's yea, what megatux said :) i do financial systems for a living but for large governments you rock our world, then L) i am a pastor :) still, I'm doing good to balance my checkbook so i need something and frankly the stuff i have seen to date that costs money is so crappy i would rather use a spreadsheet haha infocentral appealed to me soley for managing "membership" as the whole "donations" thing was so akward i couldnt grep it er s/grok/grep I understand. That's one of the things about InfoCentral is that we want to keep churches (and non-profits) from having to invest so much money lol. I'm with ya. From the first release we said the donation tracking was really just a hack for some clients derek: that's what we've focused on thus far, but I see InfoCentral becoming an all-in-one 'turn-key' solution for all church database and accounting needs derek: yeah.. the donations stuff is a joke well my gut reaction was to take ARIAS which is a php accounting system that is workign with GNU Enterprise and fixing some of its issues and adding "fund" support then bolting on a GNU Enterprise contact management stuff to give me what i wanted i just never got around to it :) yea, that's one of the benefits we saw of GNUe is that we could use other existing projects to handle the financial end life has been VERY VERY busy between church and work tell me about it. I'm a minister, student, and program in my free time where you going to school? Truett Theological Seminary is that one associated with baylor? yea in ole waco texas you betcha. As a side note, once you come to Waco, you can't leave. Its a vacuum :) does megatux go to school there as well? it's the long ass tunnel under the ground that goes round and round.. no. he lives in PA yep.. up here in frigid pennsylvania brolewis: i used to work in Cleburne, and the interstate highway signs point to Waco past there. i could feel it! hey, its frigid here too right now! :) u r up late then :) brolewis: i was in the land of BBQ pits and fireworks stands its 52F here and thats COLD for arizona dtm: did you get away from it all? I hope so! brolewis: yessir brolewis: post haste brolewis: and i lived 1hr away too!
The current temperature in Keller, Texas is 43F. Conditions: Clear. dtm: graduation is Dec 2004. just counting down the days! Keller? where's that? that aint right.. my weather applet says it's 39 hey speaking of applets brolewis: North, NE of Fort Worth has anyone here used gdesklets? nah not me brolewis: neato if they work as well as they look i might be able to stave off urges to use OS X hehe derek: it is inevitable dtm: watch it now well i still am a debian lover but OS X looks nice and a titanium notebook looks even nicer lol. derek: OSX doesn't have apt-get.. that's enough for me (: well.. actually you can probably use it.. but no huge repository is it binary compatible with anything? well i considered... 17" powerbook G4 and installing debian on it :) haha derek: in which case it becomes an overpriced PC (: Action: derek apt-get install's gdesklets gdesklets-data and prays megatux: what in the world make you think there's no huge repository dtm: friends with Macs who use fink dtm you still interested/working on gnue-sb? i.e. you still doing printing stuff --- Fri Dec 5 2003
