I got around this problem by modifying my "/etc/rc.d/rpcbind" script; it now supplies the '-i' argument to 'rpcbind'.

Wuala Loader: Version Number

I want to find out the version number of the new "loader2.jar" file.

The old "loader.jar" file used to print its version number (0.9) when I called "./wuala --help" from the command-line.

The new "loader2.jar" file doesn't do this. I can find out the Wuala version by calling "./wuala version", but that's not the info I'm wanting. I want the version number of the Wuala 'loader' only. How can I get it?

No worries! I'm happy to help out such a neat project and thanks for the reward :-).

I've recently updated the AUR script, as noted below.

PKGBUILD 0.9-3 has the following changes:
* Added a new "wuala-tray" script to "/usr/bin/"
* Added a LICENSE file, copied from the Wuala website
* The "wuala-cmd" script in "/usr/bin/" now works
* Linked to "wuala-tray" in user's "~/.kde/Autostart/" directory.

That last one should keep them online for a while longer :-).

Failure: rdiff-backup

At first glance, Wuala seems to work okay with 'rsync'.

However, I can't get it working with "rdiff-backup". I keep getting the "Stale NFS file handle" error. Are you aware of this problem and when will it be fixed?

Chris Giles replied on June 11, 2008 05:55 to the question "Packaging: Arch Linux" in Wuala:

Thanks for the reply. I created a Wuala AUR PKGBUILD for Arch Linux users on Monday. It can be viewed here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php...

Wuala is installed using 'sudo' to "/usr/" and copied to "/home/user/wuala/". This allows me to keep the Wuala launcher up-to-date for all users via AUR, while Wuala can still update the 'Prog4' directory itself.

Chris Giles replied on June 10, 2008 07:01 to the discussion "I'm still confused about file maintenance" in Wuala:

I finished uploading a few files last night, totalling about 100 MB. I was annoyed when my dodgy Internet connection then died during the 'maintenance' phase. When I reconnected and logged back into Wuala, the maintenance did not resume.

Is there a way that I can manually re-initiate this, to continue spreading the 100 MB across the P2P network? If not, how long must I wait before the next maintenance phase for these files will begin automatically?

Packaging: Arch Linux

I'd like to make Wuala available for other Arch Linux users via the Arch User Repository (AUR).

To do this, I'll need to create a PKGBUILD script that downloads and installs Wuala in a system-wide location like "/usr/share/wuala/". Will you allow me to do this?

It could be difficult, given that the non-root user who intends to use Wuala must have write access to the installation directory. How can I overcome this?
