gslapt - vl-hot-config not working

[hlekat]

i don't remember doing something specific but these two applications are not working. also when i start the appearance setting in the window tab when i choose a different theme nothing happens and the default theme is different.

also from the shell when i am typing:

bash-3.1# slapt-get --update
Failed to open /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc
/etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc: No such file or directory

i have configured it to have only a root user. normally in the shell should be root# and not bash-3.1
what goes wrong?


i typed su - and the terminal goes to root:
i typed again :
vector:/~
root:# slapt-get --installed
Failed to open /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc
/etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc: No such file or directory

Which version of VL are you running?

I remember being confused about the appearance back when VL6.0 was still a release candidate.  Then the had an appearance category under settings but it is only for LXDE appearance settings, it will not work in XFCE.  It is now called LXDE-Appearance.

If you want to change appearance settings in xfce use settings > User Interface Settings.

vl-hot-config is also one I remember from the release candidates.  It would launch from the menu > system >vl-hot-config, but not from the panel launch bar. (or vise-versa)
Look in at the launch commands...they should look like this /sbin/vsuper vl-hot-config.gambas

As far as the terminal goes... try system > urxvt.  It's another terminal see if it gives you a different result, also see if you can su to root.  I know that not why you set up as root in the first place, but at least you will have learned a little more about where you are at.

i am using vector 6.0 standar. xfce

i cant start these programs from the menu or with alt+f2 : gslapt.

i does return any error message and they does not appear in the taskmanager.

the LXDE-Appearance is not working with the xfce but it is working if i log on with the other gui (LXDE)

[hlekat]

i think that i miss something!
/etc/slapt-get/

has only one file inside : slapt-update-notifier.conf and the contains of this filel:

everything are comments except of this: UPDATE_CHECK_FREQUENCY=4h

hlekat, what your describing very much reminds me of an early release candidate.
Just to satisfy my curiosity could you let me know the out put of this command in the terminal.
cat /etc/vector-version

Thanks

Hi. hlekat
Sorry. only one (-) before version.
cat /etc/vector-version

What it should give you is the final version name and build date for Vector.

How are you progressing anyway?  Have any of the concerns been resolved?
If not here are a couple tests.
In the terminal...
for launching GSlapt try this...
/sbin/vsuper /usr/sbin/gslapt

for launching vl-hot-config try this...
/sbin/vsuper vl-hot-config.gambas

Try this in both terminals available in vl the default and urxvt.
Let me know your results.

i solved the problem with gslapt by adding this file : /etc/slapt-get/slapt-update-notifier.conf
yesterday morning i made some updates with the gslapt, after this i dont know how but the file disappeared, i took it from a friend and gslapt is now working again.


for vl-hot i haven't anything yet,

bash-3.1# /sbin/vsuper vl-hot-config.gambas
/bin/vl-hot-config.gambas
vl-hot-config.gambas
/usr/bin/env: gbr2: No such file or directory


thanks for your answers!!

i have also reinstall vl-hot-config it from slapt but nothing.

is there any guide for vl-hot-config like : where it is installed , what are the configuration files.

i think that it will be the same problem like gslapt which i replaced a configuration file that was missing.

You are missing the gambas2-runtime package, that is why vlhot gui is not working.
Looks like something went wrong during install and you are missing some packages, the vl bashrc and some other configuration files. Maybe you have alien repositories enabled in your gslapt config? If this is the case you have to be careful about what do you upgrade.

bash-3.1# locate gambas2-runtime
locate: warning: database /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db' is more than 8 days old
bash-3.1# locate bashrc
locate: warning: database /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db' is more than 8 days old
bash-3.1#

where can i find them?

for the sources of the Gspalt>edit>preferenses> i have checked : packages , extra , patching , gsb-2.22
everything from : http://vectorlinux.osuosl.org/veclinux-6.0/....
i have also chech the slapt-update-notifier.conf and it contains only the paths i have mentioned.

[stretchedthin]

It looks like you need to update the database locate realize on.
As root run
slocate -u

Then do your search.


As far as the gambas2-runtime, it is located in packages.  Odd you couldn't find it there.  Is it updated?
Have you changed anything within the gslapt repository choices?

Anyway here is the link to the FTP repository.
http://vectorlinux.osuosl.org/veclinux-6.0/packages/x-dev/gambas2-runtime-2.10.2-i586-1vl60.tlz

Look for it using gslapt, as stretchedthin pointed, it is in the packages repository.
