Re: HOWTO: install Fedora-commons repository software on Debian

fak3r — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 15:14:36 -0000

Everything you have looks fine, one thing, did you create the database before running the script? (it won't create it for you, only access it via the parameters you gave) Basically you'd bring up psql:

psql -d postgres

then create an empty database 'fedora' with user/passwd being the default 'fedoraAdmin' with:

CREATE ROLE "fedoraAdmin" LOGIN PASSWORD 'fedoraAdmin';
CREATE DATABASE "fedora" WITH ENCODING='UTF8' OWNER="fedoraAdmin";

If that's not it, I think there was a way to run the installer in debug that might give further clues - let me know if that doesn't get you any further.

One more thing...the database name is fedora now not fedora32, I posted an older error message. Error is the same using fedora or fedora32.

Cool, that's exactly what I did, and it worked. Thanks, think I understand it now, and have a good system going forward. I'll post the steps in a bit.

Yes, just install Gems yourself then. It's seriously four lines.

find the latest rubygems here: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126

wget the_latest_rubygems.tgz
tar -zxvf the_latest_rubygems.tgz
cd the_latest_rubygems
ruby setup.rb

Re: Ruby on Rails: gem install versus apt-get

Wow, while reading up on this (have done that before, but have basically given up) others have this issue with different ways suggested to solve it, but just to try I did a gem updated, check this:

# gem update --system
ERROR: While executing gem ... (RuntimeError)
gem update --system is disabled on Debian. RubyGems can be updated using the official Debian repositories by aptitude or apt-get.

Obviously I don't want to go that route... so it seems that I need to do what you guys are suggesting, apt-get ruby, wget rubygems latest, install that via ruby, then rubygems update, then gem install rails. Wow. So far the best guide I've seen is on Slicehost: http://articles.slicehost.com/2009/4/9/debian-l...

Ant makes a good point. It IS possible to install multiple versions of ruby, gem, and rake on one box. If you do, your life will suddenly become extremely hellish.

For instance, if you decide to switch from your apt installed ruby stack to ruby EE, you MUST make sure you completely remove any trace of the ruby stack you installed with apt before installing Ruby EE.

Otherwise you will enter a world of pain. A world of pain, Smokey.

Re: Ruby on Rails: gem install versus apt-get

fak3r — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:32:30 -0000

This makes sense, and I have a virtual instance now that I'll test it out on, guess I'm just wanting something where there was a hard and fast rule; edit this file, now apt won't install anything that you should use gem for... kind of like how you can do 'pinning' to have apt only use a certain version of an app, if you could set that for anything that gem could/should install instead of apt, that'd be cool.

+1 Schenk Tank

I either use the package manager to install ruby (or the sweet sweet rubyEE installer from source) and then let gems take care of the rest (installing the rails gem, etc etc).
The last thing you want is multiple copies of gem installed and then multiple gems in different places

Re: Ruby on Rails: gem install versus apt-get

The Schenk Tank — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:19:39 -0000

Rails is a gem, and should be managed with RubyGems, not with apt.

I would recommend installing and managing the Ruby interpreter with apt-get, and that's it. Leave Ruby package management to the tools that are expressly designed for this purpose.

The nice thing about gems is that you can have multiple versions of Rails installed simultaneously, something I imagine you can't do with apt.

Is there a WebDAV client that handles caching and synchronization of mounted WebDAV servers? If so, setting up subversion as an HTTP server and enabling autoversioning would seem to fix almost all of the problems.

It wouldn't be true version control, because the last change would be committed without reporting potential conflicts, but it's pretty close.

Didn't you looked to Novell iFolder? It's cross platform and make the synchronization but does not plays with versions.

Re: HOWTO: disable IPv6 networking in Debian

openid-11190 — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 07:34:41 -0000

MadDuck of Debian fame has a good introduction to enable a routing tunnel of IPv6 in Debian, see the link above.
I have a Linksys with OpenWRT that is handling the firewall and tunneling for IPv6. I guess Tomatoe on the Linksys would work too. I had to set up the IPv6 tunnell and then start radvd to automaticly config all IPv6 enabled OS:es in the network (all modern OS:es has IPv6 support by default, MS Windows Vista and newer even "helps" you by setting up an tunnel for the network if it doesn't find a IPv6 network).

You should say something about the psychological factor involved in keeping a correct diet. You need to have a strong will and to a very determined person. A strong mind wil always help you achieve a strong body. Keep in mind that when on a diet you need to work both your body and spirit:))

Notice: the text of this post in the gray, blockquote area was taken from the website Look Into My Owl, and I forgot to attribute it to them. The reason I put it in a blockquote was to signify that it was a direct quote, and that it wasn't mine, but I didn't say it wasn't, and didn't put a link to the original work as I usually do. It was an oversight on my part, and I regret it.

Yep, and I didn't want to start a post with, "I don't want to start a flamewar, but what is the deal with you IPv6 folks?"

While I haven't experienced the ins and outs as you have, I don't think I need to have something enabled that I'm not going to use...from a resources standpoint as well as security. This is what I get in Linux, full control to do things the way I want - if I had more time I suspect I'd look into v6, but until then...

The biggest problem with IPv6 is the crappy path to adoption. You will never get regular joe to put a tunnel broker in place.
ISPs are also struggling with it too because you get yourself fully working, but then have a misconfigured foreign site that now doesn't work because it advertises IPv6 DNS entries but doesn't have the server on IPv6, or worse, IPv4 entries but both machines on either side have IPv6 properly enabled. Web browsing will work in most case but you get problems with certain types of TCP connections trying IPv6 first and failing as the bit in the middle, the internet, hasn't got IPv6 enabled.
Running into this exact problem with downloads right now. Both networks have IPv6 running internally. One of the ISPs has IPv6 connectivity, the other doesn't.
