Hello.
I was trying to set up the SSH Synchronization Service (sshfs FUSE)
via Tomboy Preferences but it didn't work. When I pressed the 'Save'
button I got an error dialog such as:
Error connecting :(
Sorry, but something went wrong.
Please check your information and try again.
The ~/.tomboy.log might be useful too.
In ~/.tomboy.log I found the following message:
10/14/2007 11:59:23 PM [DEBUG]: Unexpected error calling
sshfs.SaveConfiguration: SyncUtils cannot be used because one or more of
the required system tools could not be found.
at Tomboy.Sync.SyncUtils.CheckToolsValid () [0x00000]
at Tomboy.Sync.SyncUtils.IsFuseEnabled () [0x00000]
at Tomboy.Sync.FuseSyncServiceAddin.MountFuse (Boolean
useStoredValues) [0x00000]
at Tomboy.Sync.FuseSyncServiceAddin.SaveConfiguration () [0x00000]
at Tomboy.PreferencesDialog.OnSaveSyncAddinButton (System.Object
sender, System.EventArgs args) [0x00000]
So I had a look at the apt-get source'd code and it looks like the
problem is at line 59 (and 89) of SyncUtils.cs: method SetUpTools
looks for a 'modprobe' command in PATH, but in a default user's PATH
on Debian it won't find it (it's in /sbin/, and I don't have that in
my PATH... Should I?).
I tried again by running tomboy with a modified environment containing
/sbin/ in PATH and the synchronization worked OK.
As it looks like a Debian-specific problem, I'm posting it here, even
if I'd suggest a solution upstream (it doesn't seem to me to be a good
practice to look for commands in PATH and fail *that way* if they
can't be found!).
Anyway, thanks all for this really useful piece of software. :-)
Best regards,
Matteo
