VSIDO fsarchive version Issues and Discussions

[VastOne]

Here let's discuss what is missing, needed or any issues related to VSIDO fsarchive

[VastOne]

I have already been made aware of and removed the Fluxbox Menu Editor

[VastOne]

I need to know what the nmtui tool is.. Is it part of Network-Manager package and also, wouldn't ceni work to connect wireless?

[PackRat]

As far as I know, Ceni is deprecated. I don't know if it even works with the new version of Perl and systemd networking.

NetworkManger comes with a ncurses tool nmtui -



it works really well on systemd and non-systemd distros.

No real need to install nm-applet unless you just like a gui system tray application.

Thanks RatMan

So the obvious answer is to replace ceni with network-manager

I can get ceni to work on server side with no issues and yes, it is all vsido   

I am going to go test it for sure on a new install of vsido on this server, what I need is someone to test ceni on a laptop to see if it actually works or not

[VastOne]

I tested ceni in a new install and it works for a wired interface no issues.. I understand that it is deprecated .. I was able to install and get nmtui to run but I have questions regarding how it operates.. Does it require sudo / root to run? I will need to figure out how to get that done from a fluxbox menu.. Ceni was cool because it recognizes root is needed and asks for a password

[PackRat]

nmtui can be run as a regular user.

  So yeah, ceni is deprecated and on my laptop it runs however it doesn't find the wlan0 connection. (or wlp2s0 etc)  Not sure how this would work out for someone else on a different lappy.  nmtui solves this for most lappy users imo.  Of course one could go to all the trouble of doing it all via the terminal, but with wireless this tends to be a bit of a pain for some. (gasp)  Anyway it definitely works.

So the welcome script, vsido-welcome just needs some lovin' I think... 

The following installed just fine via vsido-welcome;
cups printer-driver-cups-pdf system-config-printer printer-driver-hpijs git git-gui git-cvs git-svn git-email mercurial subversion subversion-tools bzr bzrtools cvs thunar-vcs-plugin geany openssh-server

--Lamp Stack  -not installed because of user preference, I don't need any of it yet...
apache2 mysql-server php5 php-pear php5-gd php5-mysql php5-imagick php5-curl curl phpmyadmin rsync cronolog--  don't know if any of it would have worked.  Doubtful as to the oldish nature of some of the version numbers?

--Dev Env for Debian Packaging  installed via apt
build-essential debhelper cdbs dh-make diffutils patch gnupg fakeroot lintian devscripts dpatch dput quilt zenity clipit bashburn keepassx numlockx-- installed

--Image Editors   installed via apt
gimp inkscape mtpaint gcolor3 shotwell darktable rawtherapee-- installed

--No longer in repo's
dpatch=no candidate, bashburn=no package found, gcolor2=gcolor3 now instead and installed via apt, openjdk-6-jre is up to like 19 now, icedtea6-plugin is now icedtea-netx--  not installed

and oh yeah, cups-pdf is now printer-driver-cups-pdf.

So there, if I missed anything let me know...

Now if I can figure out this new jgmenu toy!!!

Thank you for this Jed, a year later I have finally gone through and cleaned up and updated vsido-welcome to its latest versions and it will be available and working again on the next version of the FSA release. I have also attached the changed files in the lib-vsido-welcome.tar.gz listed here. Just extract the files to your /usr/lib/lib-vsido-welcome directory on VSIDO

Anyone who may have downloaded that file, do it again as I have made edits that are now in this latest attached file

[VastOne]

I tested the entire vsido-welcome script today, I did a brand new install with the 3 times edited and corrected attached files above and am now 100% confident that they all install without issue with all the latest levels.. I'm sure there are other things we can include and I will dive into that deeper later this winter
