Testers needed - drakbackup

[kjpetrie]

I've just built drakbackup for 2010, because I'm too lazy to learn something else at the moment, and I'd be grateful if others could take a look and test it.

My SRPM is at: http://www.instabook.com/pclos/SRPMS/drakbackup-0.19.2-1pclos2010.src.rpm

and the noarch rpm is at http://www.instabook.com/pclos/RPMS/drakbackup-0.19.2-1pclos2010.noarch.rpm

I look forward to any comments.

I'll give it a spin.

It seems to work ok but the .desktop file will have to be changed.  As it is now it doesn't find a place in our menu structure.  Nice work!

Just setup a new VBox install of KDE 2010 Final and I'll give this a whirl as well (will there be any drawbacks to testing it in an VM environment ?)

[kjpetrie]

Menuto:
No, it should work fine in a VM. I tested it in my build VM before I put it in my real one.

Joble:
I hadn't spotted there was a .desktop file! I have now corrected it (I think). It makes little difference as it ends with "NoDisplay=true" as it is a PCC plug-in not intended to be shown in the menu.

I could take that out, but we might have to adjust it to get it to run as root then.

The corrected version is at http://www.instabook.com/pclos/SRPMS/drakbackup-0.19.2-2pclos2010.src.rpm andhttp://www.instabook.com/pclos/SRPMS/drakbackup-0.19.2-2pclos2010.noarch.rpm.

I don't see that error here and I don't recognise what it's looking for. Could it be local to your machine?

[menotu]

Okey dokey!

[Joble]

Oh I didn't catch that.  It right there in PCC where it should be and seems to work just fine.

I'm having an awful time with VBox - it installs just fine and I can create a VM etc but as soon as I install Guest Additions the VM's just won't boot.

I've tried both the repo version and the one from the Oracle VBox web site  with the same results - not able to boot.

I have rebooted after each install to allow any necessary "re-builds"  to be carried out. Nada!!

I'm going to try installing pclinuxos-minime-2010 (instead of 2010KDE) and see if I have any luck with that.

As soon as I can get this solved I'll be able to begin the testing.

It works fine on my kde 2010 vbox - nice job 
will try on my test box when I get home

Menotu,

Pclos2010 comes with the guest additions already installed, so you don't need to install them.

It's your attempts to do so which are breaking the virtual install.

[menotu]

kjpetrie,

Yup - I do know that (and tried using them) but they aren't working which is why I removed it and tried doing it the other way.
