call for testers: build/install/run iFolder Client GUI from "source deb"

[csights]

Hi all,
If anyone is interested in compiling the iFolder Client GUI from a
source deb I would be interested in hearing how it goes.
So far it is working for me, but I wouldn't try to share anything
important. :)
First you have to build some "simias" debs, a build dependency of
ifolder-client.

Install the packages bzr, bzr-builddeb, devscripts.
Add repository to /etc/apt/sources.list (for cli-common-dev >
0.7.1)
deb http://badgerports.org/ lucid main

Execute these commands:
bzr branch http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~csights/+junk/simias/
cd simias
(Next install build-deps)
mk-build-deps
sudo dpkg -i simias-build-deps_1.0_all.deb
sudo aptitude
(in aptitude, or however, make sure all build-deps are satified)

bzr-buildpackage

The source will be downloaded, unpacked, built, and binary debs
created. If you are missing build dependencies the script will bail
out and tell you what is missing. Install them and run 'bzr-
buildpackage' again. Also tell me what they are.
If this doesn't work, post to this thread and I'll get back to you
eventually. :)

ignore: running debsign failed bzr: ERROR: The build failed.

Next, install the simias debs that are the build dependencies of
ifolder-client The way I do it is:
cd ../build-area
sudo dpkg -i simias-common*deb libsimias*deb simias-client*deb

Get the ifolder-client "source deb"

bzr branch http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~csights/+junk/ifolder-client/
cd ifolder-client
(Next install build-deps)
mk-build-deps
sudo dpkg -i ifolder3-build-deps_1.0_all.deb
sudo aptitude
in aptitude, or however, make sure all dependencies are satisfied
then,

bzr-buildpackage

This should compile the iFolder GUI and create binary debs.
Next, install the binary deb.
cd ../build-area
sudo dpkg -i ifolder*deb
Again, use aptitude or however to satisfy all dependencies.

The GUI should be installed! Now you should be able to start it by
typing 'ifolder' at the command line. All you need now is a server to
test it with.
Unfortunately, currently a server and client cannot be installed on
the same computer. But probably on a virtual machine on the same
computer. ?

Hope it works for you!
C.

My main problem is that the WebService description at /simias10/

It may be related to the fact that the simas server generated
certificate doesn't a good value for certificate issuer (thus SSL
handshake warnings in my apache logs)
Any comment / observations ?

Moreover my main question is :
where is /UI/Linux/LinuxClient directory ? they are part of the client
but they are not in the archive, they are in ifolder3-3.8.0.9328.1
archive.

[Raphaël Droz]

just ignore the "main" question at the end of my previous post :)
I choose to test the client (I didn't install simias-
server_1.8.3.9328.1+dfsg-1_all.deb)
and it compiled and now works like a charm !
I will test with other machine soon.
To be neatpicking, there is an awful :
PID=`ps -o "\"%p\"," -o cmd | grep -i Simias | grep -v grep | cut -
d"\"" -f2`
if test "$PID"
then
if [ "$PID" -gt 0 ]
then
kill -9 $PID
fi
fi
... in /usr/bin/ifolder3
I don't know if it even works (I think it doesn't), and it should be
replaced by something like :
pkill -9 simias
It should be noted that it kills the simias, not the iFolder process
(I don't know why)
pkill / pgrep are part of the procps package that even apache2-common
uses

For the server I'll try in the coming days.
Huge thanks for your work !

[csights]

Hi Raphael!
Thanks for testing!
Most of the work was done by directhex, so I'll redirect your thanks
to him. :) He knows what is going on, so hopefully he'll look at
your comments as well.
I'll comment to the best of my ability.

> Hi, I'm getting this compilation warnings, I don't remember I had them

One difference btw manually compiling and using the deb is that the
deb
source has a patch to use the system's gsoap compiler rather than the
one
included in source code. I don't know why the warning.

To me looks like mono is complaining that deprecated methods are
being used.
Something for Novell ifolder team. ?

My guess is that if you installed simias-client (and not simias-
server)
/ifolder/ and /webadmin/ don't work b/c the client only has /
simias10/.

With pgp or gpg the error would be something about not finding
directhex's
keys. This step if for signing the build debs with the maintainers
key. (If
you run a plain dpkg-buildpackage in the build-area this error won't
appear.
It is a bzr-buildpackage automation.)

Definitely for directhex! :)

It might be that killing simias brings down the UI as well. But if
you
find a better solution report it to Novell's bugzilla! Also I'll
might add a
patch to my bzr branch, and then directhex can decide to take or leave
it
later.

[Lyndon Lu]

Hi Guys,

 

     Is there an option to build ifolder client only other than both (server and client)?

 

Cheers,

Lyndon.

[csights]

Hi Lyndon,
The "source deb" for simias (which builds simias-client and simias-
server) is meant to build the binary debs for Ubuntu/Debian someday.
There we want all the different binary debs built.
So it possible to build just simias-client only by modifying the
debian/rules file. But one can just delete the simias-server*deb file
and that would be equivalent (other than compile time!).

TTYL,
C.

[DocHofa]

Hi,

first of all I tried to install the all-in-one package from Sanjaya
Yogi: the installation went ok, but starting ifolder ends with
recurring "[: 14: unexpected operator".

Then I went through your installation guide "from source deb". The
Compilation of the debs went ok, but starting ifolder shows the same
error-message like mentioned before.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 i386.

[csights]

Hi DocHofa,
I think that error "[: 14: unexpected operator" comes from some
shell script. It doesn't seem to affect operation of iFolder for me,
so I ignore it.

If you need a test account to test clients let me know. I can set one up for you on Sanjayayogi.com

Hi,

in my environment the wizard for setting up the connection to an
ifolder server doesn't pop up. The icon stays in the notification area
with a watch symbol. I cannot setup my ifolders. Ok, the error
shouldn't impact ifolder function. So I looked a little bit
further ...

Did the script use the wrong FlaimDB-Version? In my environment I had

[csights]

Hey DocHofa,
I'm not sure what the problem is there, so I'm posing to the list in
case someone else has a clue.

> Did the script use the wrong FlaimDB-Version? In my environment I had

In the build environment I've got libflaim-dev 4.9.966-0ubuntu2. I
think the -0ubuntu3 is required for 64 bit computers. Are you
building on a 64 bit computer? It is a long shot but maybe there;s a
difference.

Also, is this the client or server? If it is the server here is a
thread on novells forums (look at last message).

http://forums.novell.com/novell-product-support-forums/ifolder/339729-failed-create-flaim-db-error.html

If it is the client, maybe try quitting iFolder, make sure all simias
processes are dead, delete ~/.local/share/simias and try to run it
again.

Thanks for reporting this problem.

Hi,

libflaim-dev 4.9.966-0ubuntu3 is the version I got as the default from
ubuntu 10.04.

No, I'm building on 32 bit.

I'm building the client.

Done, but with the same behaviour.

Has anyone an idea?

Yes, check ../build-area for the deb file. That error usually occurs

Thanks csights,

It's actually working. I get iFolder install an running.
I have a general question : What's next to improve the quality of
those deb ?

ikus060

[ikus060]

As a way to improve the documentation about how to install iFolder and
also to make it more accessible for people that want to install it, I
create/update this wiki page which is most likely the procedure
describe in the first post. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/iFolderClient

I invite all people to improve the content of this page.

[csights]

Thanks, that is a neater with nice formatting. I hope to upload a
newer version of simias (client and server) this weekend. Some things
have changed, so I'll try to update that wiki. I might create an
iFolder server (simias-server) page as well.

It is good to simplify at this point, I could do some deleting of some of the early ifolder-ubuntu-debian-dev pages and post new ones so new comers do not have to go through painful learning processes. Any suggestions on what to delete and or add?

Or we could create a new page that is the one that new comers should go to first to get the best information first.

I would say the biggest user-visible improvement would be for someone
to write debconf interactions instead of the simias-server-setup,
ifolder-*setup programs.

One way to do it is to use debconf to interface with those programs by
asking questions for them and then feeding the results to them. The
nice thing about this would be the questions would only get asked
once* and irrelevant questions wouldn't get asked (like apache user/
group).
(*I think it was envisioned that those three programs could be used
to setup three different servers, each independent of the other. In
practice (at least so far) they set up all three on the same machine.)

Any volunteers? It would require C# programming and debconf figuring
out. :)

Hi,

I've test the creation of the .deb, it's working well. Now I'm
wondering how may we improve it ?
- Is there file to be moved, symbolic link to be create (e.g for
log) ?
- I also notice there is a ifolder-nautilus folder in the source. May
we create a package for it ?
- I notice the iFolder icons is located in Applications -> Accessories
instead of Application -> Internet. May we move it ?

The question also apply to iFolder Server...

Hi Patrik,

> - Is there file to be moved, symbolic link to be create (e.g for

Probably. :) There seem to be configuration files in /usr/lib/
simias. I don't know Debian/Ubuntu policy, but maybe these need to be
moved. or symlinked to elsewhere, eventually.

> - I also notice there is a ifolder-nautilus folder in the source. May

If you wish. There are also plugins for both client and server. I
don't know what they do, but someday they should be packaged as well.

> - I notice the iFolder icons is located in Applications -> Accessories

This shouldn't be too hard... but I don't know how right now.
Where ever it is it is getting put there automatically.

Thanks for testing!

Note: the Nautilus plugin is buggy, it crashed my  computer when I installed the plugin the first time. I had to install a secondary file manager for a bit and then un-installed the plugin.

The Nautilus plugin enables a right click context menu from what I understand per Ravi Kumar.  The client deb works fine with out it, I un-installed the Nautilus plugin deb and have been using the iFolder client deb with out it for several months. Everything is stable without it.

This errors come from either /usr/bin/simias or /usr/bin/ifolder
You can remove it removing the offending lines from the script (I think
they are made for OSX if I recall correctly).

But removing this error will correct the Flaim error I believe...

Good luck !

x2b4

[csights]

If you run each command in the /usr/bin/simias script by hand, the

[: 14: unexpected operator

message appears after running
mono /usr/lib/simias/web/bin/Simias.exe --runasclient $@

So maybe Simias.exe calls another script or maybe Simias.exe itself
emits this message.

It certainly appears to be a script error, so maybe Simias.exe calls
another script?

Ravi is travelling for a month, I do not know if any of the other
Novell iFolder packager maintainers are watching these posting.

Any body know the answer to this question?

Sanjaya Yogi

[ikus060]

Hi sanjaya Yogi,

I suggest you to run ifolder with strace. It's should give you in
detail which process write "[: 14: unexpected operator" to console.

On my side I run "strace -f -o ifolder.trace ifolder"
It's produce a file name ifolder.trace.
My research lead me to the file /usr/lib/simias/web/bin/ifdata

/usr/lib/simias/web/bin/ifdata is the culprit, a BASH syntax script
invoking /bin/sh

*** ifdata 2010-06-16 14:56:08.497708565 +1000

***************
*** 9 ****
! if [ x$ostype = xdarwin ]
--- 9 ----
! if [ "$ostype" == "darwin" ]

Still doesn't help me after fixing the script though, Simias database
never gets created, nothing ever happens

Thanks!
I've patched the "source deb" and submitted it to Novell
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=614964

As for the Flaim DB error, maybe you could try running 'ifolder' under
with strace and see what files it is attempting to access when the
error occurs?

ikus060 says it can be done like this:

Hi All

Using the debs posted by Sanjaya I get the:

[Simias Manager Start] ERROR Simias.Service.Manager - Failed to create
Flaim DB.
Simias.CreateException: Failed to create Flaim DB. --->

Simias.SimiasException: Flaim error FERR_IO_ACCESS_DENIED

Also seeing:

FERR_FILE_EXISTS FERR_FILE_EXISTS


It is a recent clean install on Lucid but I had to manually install
the flaim-dev and 4.1 as they didnt seem to load from the ifolder
client deb install.

Any ideas about this? Seems to be a common error but no solutions
offered that I have found have dealt with it yet.

Killing processes, deleting the ./local/share/simias dir and
restarting ifolder client didnt help. There appear to be all
FlaimSimias.db Simias.access.log Simias.log Simias.log4net
xspport.cfg files created (though FlaimSimias.db is zero length).

Target server is a current opensuse install that works fine over the
web and with Win32 client and is fine over the web from lucid.

Would be good to drop dropbox and reduce the file store fees for us.

Happy to test an install.

[Donty]

Sanjaya, using your deb install for lucid 32bit, if I run ifolder as
sudo then ifolder starts but not as my local user account. That seems
to be the issue around the cannot create the the db and errors posted
earlier.

Must be something to do with perms in the system area not allowing
execution I presume. Is this normal or am I just lucky! ;-)

Donty

[csights]

Hi Donty,
The FLAIM error is often reported on this group. Did you also try
the "source deb"?
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/iFolderInstall

If you could run ifolder with strace and post the log here it might
help us figure out what is going on.

Run "strace -f -o ifolder.trace ifolder"
It will produce a file name ifolder.trace. Copy and paste that here.

Thanks!
C.

[Kevin]

Hi,

Tried the source before but saw so many dependencies to faff with when I saw the deb binary I lept at it ;-)

Thanks, it results in about 3MB whilst the startup goes on. Shall I post the first 100 lines or so or do you want the file sent to you?

Cheers

Donty

[csights]

> Thanks, it results in about 3MB whilst the startup goes on. Shall I post the first 100 lines or so or do you want the file sent to you?

Could you upload that file to the "files" section? If that doesn't
work, try posting the last 100 lines. Hopefully the error will be
visible.... Don't get your hopes up! :)

Also, is this error from the prebuilt binary or the "source deb"?

Thanks!
C.

[Kevin]

Thanks, will do.

This is for the binary not the source, wanted to leave this one in place for more testing if it helps find a problem before moving off to the source. I always have hope ;-)
