[DNG] Netman debugging of installation scripts.
Hi Aitor, I 'git pushed' all my remaining local commits to netman. For an ordinary installation involving autostarting and autoconnecting, netman works as intended. However, using dpkg-reconfigure netman-gui to change settings results in unexpected results like netman-gui autostarting when it is set not to autostart. This means more debugging is necessary.

Hi Rainer, Thanks so far. The netman-gui.postinst is adding the Exec= line without removing the previous one. It is also doing the same thing with the Comment= line. Here is what netman.desktop looks like: - [Desktop Entry] Categories=Application;Network; Exec=netman Exec=netman --auto-conn Comment=Display network connection status in the system tray Exec=netman --auto-conn Comment=Display network connection status in the system tray GenericName=Netman Icon=netman Name=Netman Network Manager Comment=Start netman without system tray icon Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=Network; As you can see, it is corrupted. I have yet to determine why the --no-tray-icon parameter is never added.

Cups is a big black box for me, but this is not the only one (iceweasel, gcc, ssh...) . For sure it is not like an lpr client which you might craft in a few days, but the service it provides is superior. I have it running on my Devuan-jessie-alpha2 without systemd and it works fine; I print through an old Debian Squeeze or Lenny server.

Re: [DNG] netman-autostart_0.1.1
Hi Aitor, Enjoy yourself, I am working on it. I think, I got a way of putting it right. There are two .desktop files that control how netman gui behaves: a) /etc/xdg/autostart/netman.desktop b) /usr/share/applications/netman.desktop The netman-gui.postinst script has to modify both of them. If netman is set not to start automatically /etc/xdg/autostart/netman.desktop should be deleted. The sed command in the postinst script also has to make sure no multiple Exec= and Comment= lines are added to both .desktop files.

[DNG] netman-gtk3: invalid pointer error
Hi,
I can't free the memory of some pointers ( *cad2 and *res) in
netman-gtk3. This is what i get:
~$ gcc main.c -o main
~$ ./main
*** Error in `./main': munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer:
0x01bfdab4 ***
Aborted
See the comented lines 119 and 120 in the attached file.
The textual output of this applications shows the caracteristics of the
available active wifis.
Any hints?

In this case, you shouldn't copy the file but create a symlink to
it. This means there's only one copy which has to be modified.

sed is generally the wrong choice for editing files (as it's the 'stream
editor'). ed can be used for that (needs to become a package dependency
as 'certain people in the Debian project' were hit by a pine at a
formative age and are thus opposed to using sensibly-working text
editors).
The following shell function should be sufficient for your use-case
---
change_line()
{
file="$1"
new="`echo $2 | sed 's/\(.\)/\1/g'`"
key=`expr "$2" : "\([^=]\+=\)."`
ed "$file"

Note: I didn't try to undertand what the code is intended

Better C style would've been:
cad1=malloc(1024);
Casting malloc()'s return value is nonsense and potentially dangerous,
sizeof(char) is always guaranteed to equal 1.
[...]
> cad2 = strstr((char *) cad1, name);

Now you assigned to cad2 and res and lost your only reference
to your meticulously allocated buffers! (More bogus casts, BTW.)
[...]
And then you tried to free something that was not a pointer value
returned by any of the *alloc() functions:
> // free(cad2);
> // free(res);
[...]
As I said, I didn't try to guess the intention - if you want to
work in-place an the string or if you're actually looking for strcpy().

Re: [DNG] netman-autostart_0.1.1
Hi Rainer, Aitor and All,
netman-gui.postinst now is debugged to behave properly when
dpkg-reconfigure is used on netman-gui.
sed is still adding an unneccessary leading space in lines Exec= and
Comment= in both .desktop files.
I was suggested to drop one of the .desktop files and use a symlink
instead. I think this is a good idea, but I have been coding for 10
hours 30 minutes now, so it is time for me to go to sleep.
Edward
