totem could not start - Am I missing a mpeg player?

Noooo, right click and save the file, don't try and open it in a media player.

After you've saved it, move it into ~/.fahmon/ (the dot is vitally impartant)

Well, I've found the section of code that causes the crash (I've just tried it on Server 2003 in vm), so now I need to work out why it crashes.

Right, I believe I've fixed it. Try downloading 2.1.5b.6 again.

No idea how you move a file with the command prompt, and can't find a .fahmon folder to Cut and paste it into. Or a projects.dat file to overwrite for that matter.

Edit: It's quite embarrassing having to ask such questions

Hehe,

I assume you've downloaded it to your home directory.

Code: 
mv ~/projects.dat ~/.fahmon/

A dotted filename or directory is the Linux convention for making it hidden in the filesystem.

If you enable show hidden files in Nautilus you'll be able to see them all, but to be honest there's not much point, as your home directory will be full of hidden files and directories that you don't need to see or do anything with.

Thanks for that :p

The information was most helpful - now remind me why i just did that - what's the 'hack' do?

Edit: or have i just spent 30min doing the same thing twice :eek:

It fixes the borked project information for p2604, which if I remember rightly, you just did in the other thread....doh!
 
Would it be effective to have pre-compiled binaries available for a few popular distros, just like the Windows version? There aren't any dependency issues once it's compiled, right?

It's be really nice to have 32 and 64-bit binaries for Ubuntu/Debian, Fedora/RH, and SuSE.

I'd be more than happy to host the files once compiled, if that's an issue (though I suspect it isn't).

There are dependency issues. You still need to have the wxGTK libraries installed on any system you want to run fahmon on.
It's much better to compile it on the system you want to run it on, then you know for sure all the dependencies are met beforehand.
 
it just needs to be added to the guide that's all - it's all their for the native install section of the guide - it's just needed for the VM section too.
As with everything it's easy when you know how (just will take a little longer durring first install)
 
just need to do a restart - installed some programmes in windows.
but closed Fah service first (had finished it's WU anyway)
On reboot - opened Ubuntu - SMP service started A-KO
But now Fahmon isn't working anymore - get a quick flash of consol then it's gone :confused:

I'm betting Windows has thrown a fit and produced a duff log file, probably complaining about an instance with the same userID.

There's a bug in fahmon 2.1.5b.5 which causes it to crash when this happens.

The solution is to use fahmon 2.1.5b.6, which includes a fix for this rather nasty bug.
