MX-19 Repository: The Warpinator Thread

[SwampRabbit]

Warpinator 1.0.4 (with git commits up to 05 June 2020) is now in the Test Repository for MX-19.
Version 1.0.5 was just released, but really only is a roll up of these commits, and fixes a dependency issue I identified to the developer.

Please do not enable any repos to install this. You should be able to find and install it using the MX Test Repo tab in MX Package Installer.

Warpinator is an easy to use graphical application that allows you to share files across your local lan between individual systems or groups of systems.
No need to set up Samba, NFS, or complex server setup/configuration. Systems automatically see each other and you simply drag and drop files from one to another.

Features:

• Encrypted communication
• Accept/deny file transfers
• Share to multiple computers
• File transfer history
• Set device nickname
• Designate a receiving folder
• Set group "codes"
• Specify a port

Warpinator is developed by the Linux Mint team, more specifically by mtwebster who is very helpful and addresses issues very quickly.
More information for end users can be found GitHub README.

I have been testing and using Warpinator prior to first initial releases, it works well, and for me has come in handy "slinging" packages for testing on different systems.

Please let us know if you run into any issues using it or don't, this way it can get moved to the Stable Repo. But this may be dependent on moving some of the previously packaged dependencies as well.

Wow - game changer! This is very exciting to see.

Thank you for taking a look at it. It doesn’t replace a typical file share, but it does have its purpose and it does fill it well.

Please let us know your experiences with it.

Yes I found it in MX Test Repo, and installed from there. It show' s up in the menu. But it don' t starts up.

Yes I found it in MX Test Repo, and installed from there. It show' s up in the menu. But it don' t starts up.

It doesn't "start up" meaning it does not open?

Please trying to launch warpinator from the terminal and provide any output.

I just installed it on both MX-19 i386 and MX-19 AHS this morning without issues.

Correct it doesn't "start up" meaning it does not open.

Code: Select all

As launch warpinator from the terminal it also not "start up" meaning it does not open.

That is very odd, there should be some output at least.

Can you try:

Code: Select all

warpinator --debug

Is your system fully updated?

Also, have at any point have you enabled/added then removed any repos to install and or update anything?

Several users have installed this with no reported issues, I've installed it at least 25 times before we even added it to the repo, and 6 times now since.

As far as I know the system is fully updated, also with the new kernel,

The only thing witch comes in this directions, could be that as you know I am fresh/new to MxLinux and in the first day' s I tried to install Atom/Paalmoon with "apt install" witch was not working. Till I found that MxLinux has it own install process Mx Package Manager. And by that I installed Atom/Paalmoon from the Mx Package Manager.

No worries, we can try and troubleshoot it some more. These things happen sometimes, its a good chance to learn.

The fact that you also get no output with the --debug option makes me think it is not warpinator that is the problem.

Its hard to say if something from your attempts to install Atom or Palemoon caused it, or something else along the way. Its really hard to say. Warpinator is a is developed in python.

I'd like to take this troubleshooting to Private Message (PM) rather than fill up this Announcement and Release thread with posts trying to figure out what is going on with your system. I will PM you in a bit.

Warpinator 1.0.6 is in the Test Repo for MX-19.

Please do not enable any repos to install this. You should be able to find and install it using the MX Test Repo tab in MX Package Installer.

Updates since the last packaged version:

• util.py: Only use org.freedesktop.FileManager1 to reveal and select normal files.
• warpinator.py: Disable the clear-ops button in the user view if there aren't any ops.
• l10n: Update translations
