kdar not working

When you say nothing happens, what do you mean exactly? Does kdar open at all? What version of mepis are you using? I'm using Mepis 3.3 and just opened it through a terminal (konsole, as I don't use KDE)

Bob i never have tried kdar but following your post and the one from anticapitalista i decided to try mine

from k menu it will not start, just as bob says and when i run from console i get kdar: error while loading shared libraries: libdar.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

im using simply mepis 3.3.1 with only the default upgrades done since the may release, kde 3.3.2 and the 2.6.10 kernel

./hippy

linux reg no #371875

I also don't use kdar, but this is what I get when I type in a console, and it opens:

Paul@1[~]$ kdar

kdar: KDarConfig::fillinDialog

Maybe the problem is with Mepis 3.3.1. I'm using 3.3 with kernel 2.6.10 and fluxbox.

Maybe, kdar can/needs to be upgraded through synaptic. I do have libdar.so.2 it is in usr/lib/

I have the same issue with my system. There is a library mismatch. I upgraded kdar to correct the issue and it works, but I could only find an unstable beta. If you want to try this route, you can get the unstable beta from http://kalyxo-archive.mornfall.net/pool/main/k/kdar/kdar_2.0.4-1_i386.deb

Do this at your own risk as it worked on my system, but I don't know if it will work on yours.

i just found this deb for kdar and downloaded it, kpackage opened when i clicked on it and loaded ok

ran kdar from k menu and all is working fine now
http://kalyxo-archive.mornfall.net/pool/main/k/kdar/kdar_2.0.4-1_i386.deb

thats strange andy axnot if you just click the link it should just open a box enabling you to download the file, i just tried it on your link in your post and i could download it

./hippy

Very strange. I just time out. I've tried many times. I rebooted into Kanotix, same thing. I even tried Windows and IE. Same result.

I'm baffled.

Andy

P.S. A local friend just tried the link (copied and pasted into an email) for me, timed out.

A.

andy axnot , i have just downloaded the file again, may i ask are you trying to open the link, i do not i just click the link with the left mouse button and it opens a box where i can choose to save it to disk, once saved i click the downloaded file and it automatically opens kpackage and then you can install it.

./hippy

linux reg no #371875

hippy, thanks for your help, but it's just not working.

I have left clicked, right clicked, middle clicked. I have used different browsers in different Linux distros, used Windows, and asked a friend to try it. Same result, no connection.

I wonder if it might be available elsewhere?

Andy

andy axnot , its only a small file around 550 kb would you like me to email it to you, you can then edit your post and remove your email address afterwards

./hippy

linux reg no #371875

hippy, OK, thank you.

I have a disposable address at Yahoo:

This is meant to be discarded, they call it AddressGuard.

Thanks muchly.

Andy

andy, i have just sent it to you, hope this works

good luck

./hippy

linux reg no #371875

Thank you muchly!

I got it, and it works just fine! (Sorry for the delay, I was testing it when I got a phone call) Tomorrow I'll really put it through its paces.

Thanks again!

Andy

your very welcome andy

I also am not able to download from the link
please send me a copy as well

thanks Bob

bob, i have just sent it to you, just click on the file and it should open kpackage to install

let me know if all is ok

./hippy

linux reg no #371875

Hey guys,

could one of you please send the kdar package to my email? I'd be much obliged, and could put it up on a website until it is available in the debian repos.

Please, send to carl at naranyaweb.com if you would.

Thx
Carl

Newbie or not Newbie, there's always a question

carl, i have just sent the file, thanks for putting it on your website

that will be a great help well done

./hippy

linux reg no #371875

You're a busy guy!

I also sent it to him, then came back here and saw your post.

I was also going to post it to alt.binaries.freeware but I see Pan won't post attachments.

Andy

andy, not sure about the busy guy bit, just have a lot of free time on my hands at the moment

this is what i like about the mepis community though people who only know each other because of mepis and the forums willing to help each other out, share knowledge, info and the like if only it could be like that with everyone worldwide in everything that we undertake what a place we would then live in

well done andy

./hippy

linux reg no #371875

Thanks a lot guys. I'll install both of them

The deb has been put up at:
http://www.naranyaweb.com/mepis/kdar_2.0.4-1_i386.deb

Go get it.....

Newbie or not Newbie, there's always a question

I absolutely agree, it would be wonderful.

If you don't mind, I will not comment on the probability.

Andy

Thanks for putting this link up carlops, I was having the same problem that a few others were having, and I was gonna hafta put in a request to ./hippy to deliver another one.
