I would try to create an interface. Still I have never programmed a
database interface before, so I could use some information about the
functions skylendar needs and what they should do.
If I get it to work on Ubuntu, I would as well create an Ubuntu
package. Can you tell me on what distibutions skylendar does work?
What gcc-version do you use? Perhaps this information could be
helpful as well to get it running on Ubuntu.
The Crash occurs when accessing the pointer returned by the method
AstroString.Data() as far as I can see. If this works on other
distros I'd say there could be some difference in handling between
gcc 4.1.2 and other C-compilers (I will try this later) because I
would not expect a changed postgres-behavior.

Hello,
I have sk running under Mandriva 2007:

[meh@84-228-54-169 ~]$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: i586-mandriva-linux-gnu
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib
--with-slibdir=/lib --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info
--enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-checking=release
--enable-languages=c,c++,ada,fortran,objc,obj-c++,java
--host=i586-mandriva-linux-gnu --with-cpu=generic --with-system-zlib
--enable-long-long --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-clocale=gnu
--disable-libunwind-exceptions --enable-java-awt=gtk
--with-java-home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-1.4.2.0/jre
--enable-gtk-cairo --enable-ssp --disable-libssp
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.1.1 20060724 (prerelease) (4.1.1-3mdk)

I also had it on Slackware, long ago.

I imagine that _maybe_ Kubuntu can compile sk. Simply because it has
all the KDE stuff, and that sk needs it...

Remember Ubuntu is based on Debian-UNSTABLE. I have found myself on
some articles and blog posts stating that very WEIRD bugs suddenly pop
out on Ubuntu, with no clear reasons. [End of troll :)]

I wish you good luck anyway.....

Sk has been developed on Mandriva 2007. The installation should be
therefore straightforward. Unfortunately, kubuntu uses a different
security concept than a classical linux distro, i.e. no direct access
to root. The installation script, installskydb, on the contrary, uses
root. I haven't tried to modify it, since I don't have ubuntu/kubuntu.
Who wants to do that ?

Regards,

Christophe

I'm using OpenSuse 10.1, but have considered switching to Ubuntu
because I have heard it has better video DVD support.

I haven't installed Skylendar yet, will give it a shot this weekend,
but does anyone have any advice about which distros it runs best on?

I found this on forum.pcmech.com, after googling "ubuntu root":

"Ubuntu's "sudo" approach might make sense for newbs in a gui
environment but for an experienced *nix user in a server environment
it's just a huge aggravation IMHO. If you want to be able to login as
root you have to setup a root user password with:

$ sudo passwd root
[enter new root password]

then you will be able to login as root."

So, if this information is correct, it should be easy to tweak the
ubuntu root account into behaving normally.

Peace,
Forest

Did you succeed in instzalling sk on Ubuntu ?

No, I'm running Suse 10.1.  I haven't tried installing Skylendar yet.
The Postgresql database piece might be daunting, I want to wait until
I have a good-sized chunk of time to tackle it.

The reason I posted the sudo tweak for Ubuntu is because I saw
another post where someone said they had trouble installing Skylendar
on Ubuntu because Ubuntu doesn't allow users direct access to the
root account.  I thought the tweak might help them.

Forest

Enter your vote today!  A new poll has been created for the
skylendar group:

Since I don't have any return from the skylendar's users,
I think a small poll wouldn't be useless..

I use skylendar:


   o often
   o sometimes
   o I would like, but I can't install it
   o never


To vote, please visit the following web page:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/skylendar/surveys?id=2176453

Note: Please do not reply to this message. Poll votes are
not collected via email. To vote, you must go to the Yahoo! Groups
web site listed above.

Thanks!

Hello,
I've been trying to install Skylendar on my machine (AMD64, Gentoo
2.16, gcc
4.1.1, KDE 3.5.6, qt 4.1.4). However, it fails to compile:
astroutils.cpp: In function 'AstroString& Sprintf(const AstroString&,
AstroString*, ...)':
astroutils.cpp:206: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break
strict-aliasing rules
astroutils.cpp:216: error: cast from 'char*' to 'int' loses precision
astroutils.cpp:224: error: cast from 'char*' to 'int' loses precision

Switching int to long allows the program to compile (the same
modification should be done on astrosql.cpp, lines :211: and:218:).
However, skylendar crashes at the opening (nothing is displayed at
all, I just got the message "KCrash: Application 'skylendar'
crashing..." when using the command line skylendar&).
Obviously, the switch from int to long should be more systematic, but
I don't where to look.

What should I do ?
Thanks a lot in advance

Post your question on my newsgroup. It could be useful
for possible future users.

Ah, you have already sent your question via the newsgroup. Ok,
sorry...

As for your problem, it could be related to the fact that you use a
64 bits version of linux. I'll check the faulty lines on astroutils,
but since I don't have any amd 64, I can't tell you if your crash is
due to your OS, or to another internal problem.
So far, I haven't received almost no return from the users. Does it
exist a user who succeeded in running sk on an amd64 ? Who wants to
answer ????

Try to replace, in the function Sprintf(), the (int) statements by
(long)

Recompile and execute. Tell me if it works.

OK, so I replaced int by long in astroutils Sprintf, and ditto in
astrosql.cpp AstroRequest::Exec.

The program compile, but still crashes when launched. Here's an
excerpt of the  error report from valkyrie (a valgrind GUI):

in AstroResources(), replace all the zeroes within the various calls
of the fill() method, with 0L or NULL.
Also, replace -1 with -1L in the body of SetPixmaps().
Recompile as usual, run and tell me if it works.

Hello,
Sorry for the delayed answer.
The compilation runs fine. Skylendar still crashes, however: here's
the output of valgrind:

An error seems to occur within the AstroPixmap constructor. Try to
print its argument via a classical printf() or cout << something.
Check the pointers, i.e. if the provided arguments are correctly
retrieved by the method.

I
tried to install it on: slackware 10.1, suse 9.3 and 10.2.
No succes at
all.
Always reporting the same problem with the shell script
called
installskydb: something like "pghba.config can not be found..."

Mandriva 2007, of course !!! As for the other distros, I don't know
since I don't have almost any return from users.

If the script installskydb can't find out pghba.conf, change the default
path within the script and re-execute it.

Please next time, send your message without those cryptic tags. It'll
make the reading  more comfortable.

# installskydb
Cannot install. Either KDE is not installed, or skylendar is missing.


I compiled it in Slackware-current with  KDE 3.5.7 .

Skylendar has been developed with Mandriva 2007. I
don't know the slackware distro, but I suppose there
are a few differences.
First check where is the file named pg_hba.conf . Then
check installskydb and replace the current path to
pg_hba with the one you have found out.
Check if you have installed the QT driver for postgres
and the plpgsql language for postgres.
It may work.

Greetings,

C.

Hi all, I was able to compile sk on PcLinuxos which is basically
Mandrivia and able to add the db to postgresql as I was able to
verify by using pgaccess. I also set a user root using skygrant but
when I try to start skylendar I am not able to connect to the db and
when I cancel I get the following errors:

[root@localhost ~]# skylendar
QSqlDatabase: QPSQL7 driver not loaded

QSqlQuery::exec: database not open
QSqlRecord::position: unable to find field CountryIdx

QSqlQuery::value: not positioned on a valid record
KCrash: Application 'skylendar' crashing...
Terminated

Again, read the requirements. The log clearly shows that you don't
have the qt driver for postgresql, only the one for mysql. Install it
and re-run sk.

Thanks skylendar, I was looking for a QT3 package but it turned out to be a QT4 package.

Hi, Ron, I installed pclos only because it is based on Mandriva and I was told that skylendar is made to work on mandriva. I couldn't make it work on any other distro. So I need to ask you:
1. Did you finally make it work when you replaced qt4 driver with qt3?
2. How did you replace it, qt3 is not offered on the list of repositories which can be installed, did you download source and compile it?
3. Which exact repositories did you have to download and install in order to  compile and install skylendar properly? I am still on dial-up connection, i dont want to install something i don't need.
4. Any other important information considering installation of skylendar on pclinuxos, some problems you meet and solutions?

Thank you!
