I don’t use Unix for my server, but since linux was built on Unix they are pretty similar. My guess is that once you deleted fuppes a few config files were left over. Try looking though the fuppes.cfg file and see if you can bind the ip address to the correct ip. If it is inside the config file you should be able to change the address, then restart fuppes. I hope this helps you. Also try google or the fuppes web site if this doesn’t solve your problem.

I have a DROBO and after installing Fuppes and modifying the config file, I SSHed into the system to rebuild the database. I’m no expert on Unix, but for some reason just typing “fuppes” would not work but “./fuppes” did and I got the prompt to indicate what ip address I wanted to use. I input the wrong ip and got the error: “failed to bind socket to : 192.168.0.12:0″. Now every time I run fuppes, I no longer get the option to change the ip and it just defaults to the same error. Would you know how to change this? I completely uninstalled fuppes and reinstalled, but no luck. Could this default ip have been stored in a hidden folder somewhere on the DROBO?

Heya,

Even on 9.04 these instructions work like a charm. So far, so good. However, I was wondering if anyone knows how to get Fuppes to work with MySQL as a db – not much out there about it as far as I can see…

thx in advance

Great tutorial, thanks! Just a small typo though…
ffmpeg encoding is not enabled

“./configure CC=gcc-4.3 CXX=g++-4.3 –prefix=/usr –enable-gnome-panel-applet –enable-video-transcoding –enable-lame –enable-twolame –enable-vorbis –enable-ImageMagick –enable-mad -enable-faad”

…should be…

“./configure CC=gcc-4.3 CXX=g++-4.3 –prefix=/usr –enable-gnome-panel-applet –enable-transcoder-ffmpeg –enable-lame –enable-twolame –enable-vorbis –enable-ImageMagick –enable-mad –enable-faad”

Hi,

I’m currently developing fuppes and I have to say that this is a very nicely written tutorial, you should talk to PorchSong from the Ubuntu Forums, he too wrote a howto guide. (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1310511)

If you could just change one thing it would be the constant running of the install and make as the root user. Though I like very much that you followed the whole ‘make a fuppes user’ and run fuppesd under that. I have seen too many people continue to run fuppes as root. I think I might link to this on the wiki under the Ubuntu section.

So once again thanks for the nice tutorial, please feel free to contact me, it’s just my name in lowercase at gmail,

Robert

Oh I should also mention that the gcc hacks (among others) are no longer required. Update to the latest svn because there are a few fixes meant specially for changes introduced in later versions of some programs and libraries; the programs that you’ll be likely to find in the latest Ubuntu.

Thanks again,
Robert
