Well, not quite a patch, but, when Java fails to start, due to the --background option of start-stop-daemon (in /etc/init.d/freenet[-unstable]), _no errors are displayed_.
I just spent a couple hours tracking this down (I haven't done much GNU/ Linux development) and so I recommend putting this at the top of the file: # DEBUGGING: Use --verbose _instead of_ --background, when freenet # fails to start, and this will likely give you a good hint (or at # least for the developers) of what's gone wrong: background=--background #background=--verbose And then obviously, down at the "start" start-stop-daemon line, instead of "--background", put "$background". Pick a new term if you're pedantic. Thanks for listening, hopefully this will help the next guy. -------------- And finally, for the error I face, another feature request (if it makes sense: perhaps freenet should check to see if /var/lib/freenet/node-tmp exists and if not, create it ?? I can do this now, but my current setup has tmp, not node-tmp. cheers zen _______________________________________________ devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
