Hello,

noticed a bug in kwort 3.2 rc1 : sshd will not start (missing
libwrap.so.0 lib from default install)

also I'm unable to install the europa.kdb, what is the correct command
line to do this?

I tried :

# wget http://europa.fapyd.unr.edu.ar/pub/kwort/3.2/europa.kdb
# kpkg installkdb /root/europa.kdb

complains about europ.kdb being not writable, so

# chmod 666 europa.kdb
# kpkg installkdb /root/europa.kdb

no error message, but

# kpkg update

fails
"couldn't open the mirror's database directory /var/packages/mirrors"

Hello fred,
Thanks for reporting this issues.
For ssh, install the tcp-wrappers available in the iso in more/networking

For kpkg, do: mkdir -p /var/packages/{mirrors,downloads}
And then try: kpkg install instkdb /root/europa.kdb

Seeing it now, I should implement: kpkg instkdb
http://europa.fapyd.unr.edu.ar/pub/kwort/3.2/europa.kdb

Regards.

Hi David

I just had found for tcp_wrappers :)

I added the europa.kdb, but I see no packages when searching, is this
normal? Is the repository empty?

Thanks

Hello Freddo,
What does "kpkg search pycairo" gives you?
So far, the only packages in the mirror (everything else is in the
iso) are the pygtk stack (pycairo, pyobject, and pygtk).

Regards

Oh, and just to note,
kpkg search /all

Will give you the full list of packages.

David,

Yes, kpkg search pycairo works and gives some result.

I thought I could use wildcards for searching (kpkg search *) but it's
not accepted.

Thanks for the clarification.

Another bug : I notice PCManFM is in openbox's menu, but not present
in the default install nor in the packages.

A suggestion : maybe it could be nice to add obconf (openbox graphical
configuration tool) and obmenu in the default install?

I've written a quick install guide/review here :

http://agentoss.wordpress.com/2011/10/16/kwort-linux-3-2-quick-install-and-review/

If you see mistakes please let me know! (I will update the article
concerning the repo)

Regards

Fredo

Yes, I'm aware of this, I don't actually what to do with PCManFM, I
was hopping it to be done by this time, but it looks like it is not
and last time I tried it, it was a huge mess.
I'm not sure if leaving it in the menu for "the future" or remove it.
So maybe I should take it out to clear wrong assumptions.

Yes, I already have obconf built (will be available from the repo and
not in the iso). This is the first time I heard of obmenu, if you tell
me where can I download pyglade I will check it out.

Yes, I shared it with my folks on Google+

Looks like obmenu is not maintained, and pyglade has no more files to
download

even on LXDE, obconf is mentionned but not obmenu
http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Main_Page


more info on openbox's wiki
http://openbox.org/wiki/Openbox:Pipemenus

this menu generator seems nice

Ok, obconf will be in the mirrors, obmenu will not, sorry.

About pipe-menu and all that sort of weird menu things packages are welcome :-)

Hello Fred,
Obconf + startup-notification are in the mirror.

kpkg install startup-notification obconf
Try it and let me know

Hi David

obconf works great.
I don't see what changes with startup-notification installed though!
