Trac and the DiscussionPlugin

Today, I tried to integrate the DiscussionPlugin into my Trac 0.10.3 sandbox. But I must notice, that the DiscussionPlugin seems to be incompatible with the version and/or the WebadminPlugin. The discussion plugin where not found several times and disturbed the webadmin. So my last chance was to uninstall the plugin from the plugins folder. Tomorrow, I will try to install it on the python path to make it globally available. Maybe it works better this way.

To use samba with winbind for your pam authentication, you have to edit the process file (e.g. apache2) under /etc/pam.d/ and add the following lines:

  1.  

If you are already using a configuration, you can add the winbind authentication by simply changing “required” to “sufficient”. The order of the plugins in the file matters to the order of authentication.

The following configuration tries to authenticate against winbind and if this fails, against the unix module.

mod_auth_pam is not supported and/or developed any longer and the latest available version works only with apache 2.0.x. The new apache 2.2 uses a new authentication mechanism and the old mod_auth_pam does not work, if you only install it to your local apache and use it with the follow configuration:

  1. span class=”st0″>"Testingarea"

You have to turn off the new apache 2.2 basic authentication to get the module up and running. You can do this in two different ways. The first one is to disable the whole module, the second and better one is to disable it through a directive.

For the first solution, you can use the tool a2dismod to disable the module mod_auth_basic.

For the second way, you have to add this lines to the configuration above.

  1.  

In the second way, the error.log of apache shows the following lines:

  1.  

The positive message is: you can ignore them ;-) It means, that the mod_auth_pam does not register an AuthBasicProvider and therefore it is null and crashes. Not nice, but it works.

Debian stable vs. testing

Yesterday, I installed Debians current stable version 3.1 rev 4 ‘sarge’ on a vmware. After the installation, I tried to install python2.4, apache2.2, subversion1.4.2 …

I could install the python2.4 package, but the package python was only available for python2.3. After creating the links (e.g. python -> python2.4) manually, I tried to get the apache2.2 package. To use debians apt for this job, I had to add the testing sources to the apt list. After this step, he tried to upgrade my system with a new kernel and some new tools. Enough for me! ;) I went to the debian package page and downloaded the testing net boot cd.

Trac 0.10

I updated my trac version from 0.9.3 to 0.10 and must say that this was the easiest update of any bug tracking system I ever made!

I use trac for my personal project management and tracking.

Gmail-Notify

Auf der erneuten Suche nach einer akzeptablen Lösung, einen Gmail-Notifier unter Linux/Gnome zu besitzen bin ich heute auf die Version 1.6.1 von Gmail-Notify gestossen (Auch für Windows nutzbar, da Python). Ich hatte aber anfangs aus purer Faulheit erstmal das Debianpaket installiert. Kann aber gleich davor warnen, denn der Login funktioniert nicht. Es wird unbedingt die 1.6.1 benötigt. Schaun wir mal, ob ich mich mit diesem Tool besser anfreunde ;-)

VncServer mit Ubuntulinux 5.10 nutzen

Nach dem Starten des VncServer’s erhält man in der log-Datei den Eintrag:

Fatal server error:
could not open default font ‘fixed’

Nach einigen Recherchen kam ich dann zu dem Ergebnis, dass dieser Fehler von der Umstellung von XFree auf X.Org enstanden ist. Um den Fehler “zu umgehen” habe ich mir einfach einen Symlink in das “alte” Verzeichnis auf das neue Verzeichnis erstellt:

sudo ln -s /usr/share/X11/fonts /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts

Danach funktionierte dann mein VncServer ohne Probleme.

Canon SmartBase MP-360 unter Linux

Leider gibt es von seitens Canon keinen Drucker/Scanner-Treiber für den Canon SmartBase MP-360. In diversen Foren habe ich jetzt etwas über vergleichbare Treiber gefunden. Leider funktioniert keiner der Treiber richtig. Zuletzt habe ich jetzt den BJC-8200er Treiber mit einer Auflösung von 600×600 dpi zum Drucken verwendet, bei der das Format des Ausdruckes stimmt. Aber leider die Farbitensität nicht.

Mit dem Scanner habe ich wohl gänzlich pech, denn in diese Richtung bietet mir auch Sane keine Kompatibilität. Er wird zwar erkannt, aber es ist kein Treiber implementiert.

Nun muss der Drucker/Scanner doch wieder an Windoof Windows angeschlossen werden, bis ich eine Lösung habe.

Gefunden habe ich in diesem Zusammenhang noch Turboprint.

    1. funktioniert das bei mir irgendwie nicht
    2. kostet das Geld… Nur um zu drucken!
