I am intending to tag gnome and many others, but having to solve some
problem.
1. gnome-nettools needs nmap to scan ports, runtime, optional.
But cannot ping. Error is that it tries to use command
ping -b -c number -n address
However, option -b is not recognized.
gnome-nettool can't use ping from inetutils. That's why I don't install
inetutils. It seems to work fine with ping from iputils package.
That package is easy enough to build, but you have to install the files
manually. The only useful package there is ping if you want the -b
(Allow pinging a broadcast address.) and possibly some other options.
Anohter application that might be useful is tftpd.
However, can the -b be removed from gnome-nettool? We can then list
iputils as an optional external run time package.
I was exactly trying to find a replacement, thanks. But we don't have it
in the book, either include it or include as optional with external
link? Anyway, will install it. But ping from inetutils is in/bin, from
iputils will be at /usr/bin?
2. lxdm: don't know why, in this system, it cannot poweroff/reboot and
does not show the user list. If I press poweroff, and click in the form
to enter the name, but only enter and enter, it does poweroff. Or after
trying to poweroff, if I login, imediately it starts powering off. There
is an easy work-around, but I would like to discover why in the older
dev machine it works. Spent most day yesterday trying to solve this.
3. I think it is in lxde-common, or gvfs, upower with pm-utils seem to
be needed for some options (reboot, poweroff, hibernate,..) to appear.
It is necessary, but I am not sure exactly where.
Do you have ConsoleKit set up (with PAM)?
It works for me and I do have ConsoleKit with PAM. I do not have gvfs.
Yes, pn-utils is needed for hibernate and suspend.
Yes, I do. Since the time when you solved a problem with gparted, I
always do it. What I don't understand is that lxdm starts, but does not
load polkit nor ConsoleKit.
4. avahi does not start with present instructions. I had to include
--with-systemdsystemunitdir=no
5. Will tag cheese as built, not tested (if someone could test, please?).
I'll test it when I get around to building it.
