Linux shell script hack?
« on: Aug 25th, 2004, 12:03am » |

Hi,
I'm running Processing on Mandrake Linux 9.2. For the longest time, I couldn't get it to run from Konqueror and it kept crashing with "could not find the program 'processing'". Anyway, I finally got around to trying to run it from the console and it works fine...with the exception of the following errors.
Code:| check_group_uucp(): error testing lock file creation Error details: Permission deniedcheck_lock_status: No permission to create lock file. please see: How can I use Lock Files with rxtx? in INSTALL |
|
Does anyone know how I might be able to trap these or otherwise edit the shell script so it will boot cleanly from Konqueror? It's a bit of a pain launching a console everytime.
Thanks,
James

fwiw, we only put the shell script together for linux since we figured that was the easiest/most compatible way to get the thing running across all the various linux implementations.
the error you're seeing is from rxtx, there's a paragraph in the readme.txt file about it:
serial.. this release uses rxtx-2.1_6 (just like macosx). you may get
error message spew to the console when starting the application saying
"Permission denied" and "No permission to create lock file" and to
read "INSTALL". this is because you need to add yourself to either the
uucp or lock group so that processing can write to /var/lock so it
doesn't get in a fight with other applications talking on the serial
port. supposedly, adding yourself to one of these groups will work
(didn't for me, but i'm a little clueless) or running processing as
root will get rid of the errors (not a great solution).
