gnunet does not work by default - server seems not to run

[Sasa Paporovic]

I have installed gnunet0.8.1b on precise with the server component and the gtk GUI.

With the gtk GUI I've made the basic configuration for GNUnet deamon.

This all works fine and very smooth.

The problem is that GNUnet deamon loads by default a peer list from some public sources as I red from the GNUnet website.

On my system it does not do it.

When I start searching for any content, which should be made connections to some sources, the deamon message in th right down corner switched from "Deamon running" to "disconnected".

I have looked with sudo gnome-system-monitor for the gnunet deamon. It is not there!

So ,the problem seems to be that the gnunet deamon does not start at sytem start and the status message in gnunet-gtk GUI "Deamon running" seems to just wrong by default.

Expected:

As Ubuntu is settings deamons to run for the next start automatically on installation I do expect the same here. A out of the box running GNUnet would be fine.

Additional: May be it helps to bring on the 0.9.1 version for ubuntu, which is the actual one.

GNUnet 0.8.x is already outdated, 0.9 is out now. If you really want to use it, I think you should install it from sources.

[Sasa Paporovic (melchiaros)]

I've seen that as I have wrote in the bug description.

But I am not so a fan from building it from source when it must not be.

So, there are packages on ubuntu. We are on the next upcoming version 12.04. Why not bring up the newest packages to the repositories?

[Milan Bouchet-Valat (nalimilan)]

I think it will enter the repositories when Debian has packaged it. See http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=gnunet

If it doesn't enter automatically, you'll be able to ask for a manual upload.

[Sasa Paporovic (melchiaros)]

Yes,
that is the common way.

But, in moment it is a bug on Ubuntu with no gnunet-server starts probably. I have not tested in on debian for the moment, but I have seen a bug on ubuntu launchpad that point on a similiar problem here. I am not sure that it is the same and wait for someone that know it exactly, because of more skills on it.

That I pointet to a newer version is an off-topic.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
