When I run the install of 'Gmail Backup' (from URL...) an error msg appears stating that I must have python2.5 - I presently have python2.8Is there any way to solve this without destroying my Slackware 13.37 installation?

I tried those, but somehow my wxpython installation got borked and would not do anything afterwards.
There is a "standalone seamonkey-solibs package for RPM, gxine, etc". But after recent upgrades in -current, I can't use rpm without full seamonkey package installed. Can someone revise the contents of seamonkey-solibs and add missing files to it?

What is the best way to physically backup one's gmail and hotmail inbox on ubuntu?I have tried Evolution but it does not seem to store locally the mail which it accesses through gmail. Is there anyway to have it store locally a backup?
View 3 Replies View RelatedSo far, I have done all the steps (including creating django.wsgi in the project). The step left is to turn on the httpd, but error put exit in this very last step.
Code:
<user> #: ./apachetrl start
httpd: Syntax error on line 450 of /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_wsgi.so into server: libpython2.5.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
So I've been looking to try out Airpwn, but it seems to only run with Python2.4. Natty, buy default uses Python2.7, and Airpwn will not compile with it. Python2.5 is the lowest in the repos. I tried just downloading Python2.4, and doing the "./configure, make, make install" dance, but I end up with
Code:
root@L1NUX:~/Python-2.4# make
[...code snipped to save space...]
Aborted
make: *** [sharedmods] Error 134
install Python2.4 on Natty? Any method will do fine. If you have a .deb that would be even greater. Anyone who's been able to run Airpwn on something other than Python2.4 is also welcome to tell me their solution. (There used to be a .deb for Airpwn itself, but it seems one was never made for Natty.)
I have been looking for a complete backup solution like "Acronis True Image Backup and Recovery" on Windows for Slackware a while.
View 12 Replies View RelatedThis thread is not so much looking for a 'solution' as it is looking for some 'reason why', as I now have it working.I have just inherited a Gateway 509GE - P4 3.0GHZ / 1GB RAM / 200GB SATA WD2000JD HD. It is circa 2005 hardware. The previous owner had tried to install Mandriva after windows began to choke on accumulated garbage, then tried to revert to XP, both of which appeared to install but neither would boot. He decided to just get a new box and gave me this one.I ran Memtest86 and found a bad DIMM and replaced it.
I repartitioned and formatted, a single ext4 root partition plus 2GB for swap. I completely removed existing partitions including the hidden M$ restore partition and checked disk - all using Gparted Live CD.I put a full Slackware 13 on it, installed with LILO to MBR, rebooted... nothing... "No bootable device found".I booted to install CD and played with Gparted Live CD and everything was there and LILO configured correctly...I tried several times and looked at MBR sector directly - all OK as far as I could tell.
Long story short - as far as I can tell after trying a few things, I finally set the 'active' flag on the extended partition (sda1) and it now boots.But Linux does not care whether a partition is active and I have several boxes - including another with SATA drive that do not have any 'active' partitions. So I conclude this must be a BIOS thing looking for an active partition, but see nothing settable in the BIOS config (in fact very little useful in this machine's BIOS config).Anyway, it is now working but I would like to solicit any useful comments from others. Is it a Gateway thing? (This is my only Gateway box). Is it an SATA thing? Anyone else had to set a Linux partition active to boot
I was wondering if anyone knew of a lightweight and easy-to-configure MTA, or any other way of sending messages from a command-line environment without too much of a fuss. I would only be sending messages through a single Gmail account, and would rather not bother with all of the sendmail configuration.
View 6 Replies View RelatedIt seems my sendmail (running in slackware 13.0) cannot send out emails correctly. I guess I need to tell it what is the smtp server to use. And, I heard, gmail's smtp server is available to use for this purpose. How to configure my sendmail this way?

Last week google introduced the capability of using gmail to call other people in Canada or the US on landlines or mobile devices. This capability is free for 2010.
I gave this a try in Slackware 13.1 and it works. To do this I was browsing with Fire Fox 3.6.8 and logged into my gmail account. On the left hand side of your e-mail account window you will see a phone icon.
1. When you click on that icon you will be prompted to install the gmail phone application.
2. A download window will open asking you to download a .deb source. I downloaded it and then I used src2pkg to create a Slackware package, then installed it.
3. Re-launch Fire Fox.
4. Click on the phone application and call up people. The voice quality is quite good, I experienced little lag.

OS = OPENSUSE 11.3 server installation - NO GUI....
use any browser and go to gmail. i can't get gmail to load. if i browse on videos, links to videos don't work. they appear to be taking a long time to buffer, then a message appears saying to try again. sometimes, links on google search pages are all dead. yahoo mail loads as far as logging me in, then i get a page with all dead links.
i'm using a laptop at several locations that have free public wifi. at some places, everything works perfectly normally. at other places, google and yahoo are almost useless. the "bad" places work just fine under ms windows.
so i figure it's a networking/handshaking issue, but that's all i can figure. i need help to troubleshoot it further. if it's happening to me, it has to be happening to other people, and i consider it a major hassle.
My college internet providers shifted to a different setting.. defined in the changing lan proxy settings on the user end. I.e.ip - 192.168.0.200 and port to 3000. This to reduce misuse of the net connection ..The thing is, since then, every other website is working, except GMail. It isnt blocked, the Nebero page shows up for blocked sites. When attempting to open gmail, the default internet page shows up for unavailability of page owing to no or slow response from the server, or the firewall or proxy settings not appropriately configured. I cannot open gmail, the connection on empathy im. I cant ping gmail either. No response. What can be the problem.

I've managed to create a working RPM that does a bit of system configuration despite having little working knowledge of linux before starting. My RPM appeared to be working for awhile now but as a final test I installed it on a completely fresh install of RedHat enterprise edition 5.2 (after installing prereq rpms). It seems I'm running into a problem that the IMQ program(ie java message queues) will not boot correctly when I do this because it doesn�t know where to find the JRE.
I want to make sure that when my rpm is run the program actually works afterwards, and it won't work without IMQ. I was thinking I would have the RPM modify the IMQ configuration file to provide a -javahome argument when it boots up. I don't think I can set the configuration file to say '-javahome $JAVA_HOME' because the JAVA_HOME environmental variable won't be set until later in the boot up process after IMQ has attempted, and failed, to boot.
so I had thought the rpm could set whatever the value of JAVA_HOME is at the time the rpm is installed as the home for IMQ. So my questions are...
1) how can I require that JAVA_HOME is set prior to running my RPM, and have the RPM not install if JAVA_HOME isn't set
2) is there a good way to have rpm be able to undo the change I made to the configuration file if it is erased? Should I save a version of the old configuration file before I make the changes somewhere to be used?
3) is this the best way to do things, or is there a simpler method?

'm running openSUSE 11.2 with KDE 4.4.2.
Since i installed KDE 4.* Whenever I go to shutdown, I get the shutdown dialogue, I hit shutdown, it logs me off, shows some text on shutdown screen, and then opens up the GUI again, bringing up a small window, where It asks for the root password, in order to shutdown. If i don't give it the root password, it goes to the login screen.
I cannot, any way, command line, GUI, or anything, shutdown without providing a root password.
If I use the command shutdown now, as root, it logs me off and goes through an endless cycle of logging off, and then asking for root to shut down, and not shutting down (All on the CLI), and everytime i give it the password, it cancels shutdown and goes back to the prompt. I eventually have to pull the battery to kill it in that case..
I have tried chmoding the shutdown scripts to make it work, it doesn't.

Im running opensuse 11.2 on Linux 2.6.31.5-0.1 64Bit, KDE 4.3.1 with 4GB RAM, Intel duo core processor with Intel graphics card. I initially had opensuse 11.1, which i removed and installed 11.2. Initially everything.Then came the problem, the system starts up fine but then after a few hours freezes, monitor powers off and it wont accept commands from the keyboard or mouse. Meanwhile the lights (caps lock, numeric and scroll) on the keyboard blink. The power light is still on and i can hear the hard disk turning.
I have to forcefully turn the power off and restart but can freeze again after random periods.I do lengthy and demanding computations and its common for the PC to run for weeks without turning it off.
When booting from the Ubuntu 11.04 CD, it asks for user name and password to install. I downloaded the iso twice and did a checksum. Do I need a user name and password before installing?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to install a piece of software that requires a specific versions of several packages. I am using Scientific Linux 5.5 and yum for managing the apps.The problem is that I need, for example ruby >= 1.8.7, but the package for ruby that is the official repositories for SL 5.5 is 1.8.5 and therefore yum says it's up to date.
There are other repositories for SL 6.0 that have ruby-1.8.7. Initially I ignored the fact that they are not for 5.5 and tried to install it manually with rpm. But there was an increasing number of data dependencies for the packages so I gave up. What can I do to avoid this? I suppose installing packages for newer OS version should be ok and they will be compatible with other older libs. But do you really install packages in this manner?
I am trying to write a gui app with python2.6.4 and wx on win XP. I am attempting to resize an image with Imagemagick from within the program using os.popen and os.system in a thread.
Code:
os.popen("mogrify -resize " + str(x) + "x" + str(y) + "!" + " images/static/" + my_ref + ".gif")
orCode:
os.system("mogrify -resize " + str(x) + "x" + str(y) + "!" + " images/static/" + my_ref + ".gif")
they both work as far as resizing the image but when os.system is used a command shell opens during the mogrify and when os.popen is used the command shell does not show but the rest of the program freezes until mogrify is done.
I would prefer that the program did not freeze during this process and the command shell did not show.I have tried using wx to scale the image but the scaled image looks crappy.anyway is there a way to use os.system and not have the shell show?

Instead going through the whole:
1)Download source,SlackBuild script
2)Run SlackBuild script
3)finally installpkg if successful.
Will there be any problems with configurations if i don't do it from the beginning?. I thought of this because some packages took helluva time to download and compile.
