gnome-system-tools and system-tools-backends PKGBUILDS

hdoria · 2007-10-11 18:52:02

Today i adopted two packages: gnome-system-tools and system-tools-backends . They were out of date. I think they are good packages and im trying to update them.

I made some trys and pkgbuilds. Heres the result:

system-tools-backends:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … =1&ID=1575

gnome-system-tools:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … =1&ID=1576

Unfortunally they are not working as they should. Could someone give me some tips?

I was unable to release this package. Hope that someone can help for bring off this useful soft.

hdoria · 2007-10-11 22:26:21

Mailik,

The packages are working now (at least some parts). Please, test it and give me a feedback.

Thanks.

The command lauch by the menu are not suppose to use gksu ? like this the password is stored and ask by the soft only once.

hdoria · 2007-10-11 22:51:49

They are running with gksu already.

not see that

for gdmsetup i see the command : gksu /usr/sbin/gdmsetup

but for the soft that come with gnome-system-tools, i see only the command without gksu. By exemple for configure users and groups i have only the commande : "users-admin"

maybe is it juste a strange thing on my system ?

Apart from that, it work

Strange. I added some lines to change the desktop files and add the gksu option (as you can see in the bottom of the PKGBUILD). Are you running the lastest release?

erm67 · 2007-10-12 12:15:32

This is a duplicate of a package in extra/unstable and should probably be deleted, upstream is (hopefully) working to a new arch-supporting release.

hdoria · 2007-10-12 12:22:14

The packages in extra/unstable were too olds, so i made a newer version of them. Is this a problem?

lame i am, that the old 2.14 that use

i have download the pkgbuild from the aur (liboobs, system-tools-backends, gnome-system-tools) and build with succeed. And the launcher from the menu work with gksu, but the soft don't work for me. Strange that users-admin (2.14) work and not users-admin from your 2.20 version :

[root@chocolat ~]# users-admin

(users-admin:10216): Liboobs-WARNING **: There was an unknown error communicating with the backends: The name org.freedesktop.SystemToolsBackends was not provided by any .service files

(users-admin:10216): Liboobs-WARNING **: There was an unknown error communicating with the backends: The name org.freedesktop.SystemToolsBackends was not provided by any .service files

[root@chocolat ~]#

I stop to lose your time, and hope that somebody can treat to you better quality feedback

hdoria · 2007-10-12 16:11:28

I get some warnings too, but the package works. Maybe my PKGBUILDs are missing some dependencies. I will take a look. Thank you for the feedback.

And no, you are not losing my time.

I made some patches to make everything work except the network module, we can work together to make them available, why don't we meet in irc?
I submitted them upstream, but they are waiting also forn the network module and now I don't have time to work on it.

Do you program in perl BTW?

Just a quick note to anyone that does batch upgrades every couple of weeks and all of a sudden has an empty users and groups gui or gets an error message about not having permissions, there are two things that most likely need to be done:
*username is your regular user name.*

sudo gpasswd -a username stb-admin

and, edit /etc/rc.conf and add stbd to the list of DAEMONS

just printer is working... why?

I have the same problem I can't start any of the services in gnome-system-tools except for printing. Every time I run it I get the error

[af@ANDRE ~]$ services-admin

(services-admin:9771): Liboobs-WARNING **: There was an unknown error communicating with the backends: The name org.freedesktop.SystemToolsBackends was not provided by any .service files

hdoria · 2008-01-28 12:26:17

Is stbd running? Did you added your user to the stb-admin group?

What kernel are you running? And whats the perl version that is installed?

Yes stbd is running and my user is a member of the stb-admin group. I'm running the latest stock kernel from Arch (2.6.24) and the latest perl (5.10).

I have the same problem.

gst does not work with new perl (from testing) yet. Please, use perl from core.

# pacman -Q | grep perl
perl 5.8.8-9

core/perl 5.8.8-9 (base)

I do not know if it was directed at me, but I'm running perl from core.
