on freebsd?

nice to hear

tangler's notifier seems to work out of the box when linux_compat is turned on. need a few libs like png and xorg, but they are fairly typically installed with most linux abi X apps

excellent! that's a bonus

we haven't tested on fbsd yet.

the linux abi on freebsd is almost entirely complete; all that is missing is really advanced stuff that system utilities and cedega use.

I just was expecting a normal 'brand all binaries and find strange dependency on fedora ftp server' trial, and was pleasantly surprised

Hey guys, happy to be a crash test dummy on Freebsd :

[betom@ayiin] [Mon Feb 19 23:01:23 2007]
/usr/home/betom
$ uname -a
FreeBSD ayiin.octantis.com.au 6.2-STABLE FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #38: Sun Feb 18 14:32:12 EST 2007     root@ayiin.octantis.com.au:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/AYIIN  i386

point me in the right direction... I suppose there is no port created .. yet ?

Cheers 

What did it crash with? Do you have linux_compat compiled in/loaded?

no port, the linux abi needs to be turned on and these ports installed:

linux_base_fc4

linux_xorg_libs

linux_glib2 

and

 linux_png

after that, just downloading the tarball and running the notifier program will work (ignore the versioning warning in the console) 

excuse me, - instead of _ for most of those ports

Helio: There is an edit icon next to the date on your posts.

under freebsd, linux-firefox-2.0.0.1, the edit function works ..until you click Update, then it just fails with a JS error (simply saying something useful like 'coudln't save'...

Yep, known issue. It basically comes down to this. When using the notifier, the server doesn't correctly authenticate you so when you try to edit/delete your own messages, it throws an error. The fix for this is coming in the next release.

So for now, if you need to edit/delete your own message, then logout of any web session and notifiers. Then login from the main login at http://www.tangler.com/login  It should work at that point.

 ps I like this group, we need a linux group as well

heh yeah.

We need some good old hardware groups too. DEC anyone? I just got my VAX Assembly Language book today. 

lol sorry..i'm all i386 now... and a biggish amd64 but that's about it... i think i'm more a software / systems (ie, how the lot play together) guy rather than hardware,etc....

but i wont say no to a 128 way SPARC 64  

haha, some of those are pretty nice. I still like my Alpha/VAX.

vax... bah! you guys never give up.

I know it's the BSD group, but is anyone running the notifier on ubuntu edgy/gnome ?

It was developed on Kubuntu edgy. I can't see why it wouldn't work on ubuntu/gnome. Are you having issues?

not so much issues as nothing at all... i run the binary, I get a popup saying notifier is running, and then nothing... doesn't seem to be anyting in the .tangler/notifier dir either

Hmmm so there's no icon appearing in the system tray in gnome?

Can you do a "ps -ef|grep notifier" and see if there's a running process?

rsharp@SYDPC002:~/.tangler/notifier$ ps -ef|grep notifier
rsharp    5825     1  0 Feb22 ?        00:00:00 update-notifier --sm-config-prefix /update-notifier-uQabpT/ --sm-client-id 117f000101000115743657100000048790004 --screen 0
rsharp   13022 12744  0 14:31 pts/2    00:00:00 grep notifier

nothing!

ahhh i see, it's a bug in the notifier I never got around to fixing. To work out whether there's another notifier instance, it checks your processes and looks for the word notifier and in this case you do have something. I plan to change this some time in the future cause it's not 100% as you can see

if you can, try to end that application that is running or kill it (if it's not important) and try again.

it's the ubuntu updates notifier which is kinda handy :-p

I'll kill it for now to test your software out! 

I always use the notifier when using Tangler, I hate logging in through the web browser. Trust me, it's a timesaver

Timesaver? Sure... I'm way more productive whilst I have Tangler open... Anyhoo, I killed the update-notifier and the notifier is running just grand now. now all I need is  a little code patch!

BTW, does the notifier use jabber pub-sub, or is that a trade secret? 

w00t me too I've got the notifier running ubuntu styleee

Yeh Tangler does tend to suck up a lot of time doesn't it? Sometimes I just have to shut it down to get my work done 

Nah we have our own custom protocol. Which probably made sense at the time we did it but probably not anymore
