I was given a new ip address, and the dns was not updated so resolving of domain names does not work now. Thats all fine as I know my IP address (for accessing from other networked machines), or can use [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost localhost], and 127.0.0.1. Unfortunately that does not work properly, when I click on some MediaWiki links, for example ''Random Article'' in the Site navigation area, the machine redirects to http://macintosh.local/wiki/index.php/NutriLogo, and fails to connect to a page because the ''macintosh.local'' cannot be resolved. Do you know if I can get round this easily? It driving me nuts. I couldnt find anything in the httpd.conf, or php.ini. I am still waiting for IT to update the dns, maybe in a couple of months...

| − | Re webmin: my guess is that it was installed using apt-get unsuccessfully by Kieran. He then installed it from source. When I ran apt-get -f install during the installation of g77 (as apt-get suggested), it saw that there was a problem with webmin and then <s>removed</s> reinstalled apt-get in the same location as Kierans source installation, but not before making a backup (with wallclock seconds - quite smart of apt-get really) /etc/webmin.1132453844. I have copied his version back to /etc/webmin and restarted the server. This has taken alot of tinkering solving the problem, I think it is important to remove apt-get packages that do not install correctly to guarantee that apt-get doesnt move any future source installations by a root user before reinstalling them. The command I used was something like:
| |
| − | * apt-get --purge remove package
| |
| − | Also if he installs manually, he should be putting the installation in somewhere other than the default apt-get location to eliminate this side effect.

| − | My script [[Sven Ubuntu post-install]] shows what I did, some downloaded packages are packaged as '''ins''' files, these usually have an additional '''make''' file for furthur installation into the '''TEXMF=/usr/share/texmf''' path. The default tree is determined from the location of article.sty (everything up to texmf). I will eventually move the file [[Sven Ubuntu post-install]] to [[LaTeX Ubuntu post-install]] and embed it into [[Punk.Li Ubuntu post-install]]

| − | Yo,
| |
| − | I can definately help with standard LaTeX installations. I've done it many times on Linux, Windoze, and OS X. What I do is put all the extracted archives under a directory like ''CONTRIBUTED'' in the right global location depending on the OS. Then its just a matter of
| |
| − | of running a cammand like ''mktexlsr'' ( mktexlsr - create ls-R databases) so latex knows of the new contributed packages. I will have a look at chess.

| − | It seems that about 99% of it's that simple, then there's a few hours of working out the other 1%. It's probably just that I'm unfamiliar with the env - like when I unpack chess, it complains that some files are missing (I thinks its some .mf's) but I don't know where they're supposed to go, or what needs to be compiled etc. Also I think I'd have to mod their php script to add new classes - but definately worth checking out. I'll give you root access to the new server when it's ready so you can experiment with that shit as well :-)
