icon5.gif   Installation with amp on Rocky Linux, posted by Nina Bondarenko on Thu Mar 21 15:23:52 2024 
Hello all,

I am installing elog on an Rocky Linux instance. Have dependensy problem. 

rpm -Uvh elog-latest.el7.x86_64.rpm

Hi Nina,

The RPM is built with Kerberos (libber*), LDAP (libldap*) and SSL (libssl*) options. These libs are missing on your system, and rpm command does
not take care of dependencies.

Is there a way to install all dependencies automatically? Like if I install a package like "emacs" I get a list of dependencies with are automatically
installed:

Normally it should work. Requirements are set in SPEC file.

Is there an RPM available for Rocky 8 or Rocky 9?

And checking over https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download/RPMS/ , only el7 is found. Is that the right place to look for EL8 or EL9 based RPM?

Hi,

The ELOG website provides new link to RPM packages :


Linux binaries are distributed as RPMs.

Hi,

Thanks for the links to EL8/EL9.

Yes, same build options are used. 
But i can not'confirm that they are working as well as on EL7. The tests done by build script on CI/CD are quite simple and limited to
rpm installation, service start and access from cmdline to elog server.

Dear Stefano,

the support for the LDAP is limited. As stated in the documentation "on an as-is basis".

Hi,

It seems that ELOG does not support LDAPS but only simple LDAP connection.
          icon2.gif   Re: Problem in logging with LDAP and passwd, posted by Sebastian Schenk on Fri Mar 5 13:54:13 2021 
Hi,

we use the LDAPS connection in our setup and it works without issues.
You have to specify "LDAP server = ldaps://server.tld:port" and normally it uses a different port (636) than insecure LDAP (389).

Hi Sebastian,

 

Nice to hear !

Hi Stefano,

I also tried to set up LDAP authentication and password file-based authentication using the same settings as yours, which is not working as expected. It

On a new MacBook Pro (Silicon M3), I installed version 3.1.5 build 23df00d9.  The application appears to work normally, except that, after a short

A quick follow-up concerning the secondary matter I mentioned in my last post, namely the issues I had with the deprecated "sudo launchctl
load ..." and "sudo launchctl unload ..." subcommands currently provided in the ELOG installation instructions for MacOS.  I found
a solution to this -- will post it in a separate thread.

I'm traveling right now and will only next week be able to look into that, so please be patient for a few more days.

The problem with the attachment paperclips has been fixed in the current version.

Thanks a lot Stefan, for fixing this so quickly! I'm now running 3.1.5 fe60aaf0, with the phantom-attachment-count issue in the Summary view now

Hello,

I started using the record date feature in one logbook, since we plan to copy over old entries Joplin/Onenote. When starting a new entry, I see
that the record date is automatically set to the current date, but when I reply to an elog, the record date is automatically set to the record date of

Hello,

I've noticed that many times, I start an elog and continue editing adding to a few hours later, then I submit and it deletes everything I
entered after the last time a draft was saved. I paid more attention and saw that it saves a draft after about a few minutes, and if I wait too long before
