bacula 2.03 (on RHELv5)

wxconsole is nice - thanks - went into restore tab and chose a folder
for a test restore. Went through, picked the folder and clicked the
'Restore...' button and the wxconsole locked up with a message at the
bottom that says 'Failed to retrieve jobid'

It did indeed restore though but wxconsole is essentially locked up and
I can't do anything in restore tab at all and in console tab, messages
are still written but it isn't possible to click into the command line.

Obviously I could click the wxconsole closed and re-open it.

Standard error written to terminal states...

(wxconsole:5370): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_container_remove: assertion
`GTK_IS_TOOLBAR (container) || widget->parent == GTK_WIDGET (container)'
failed promptparser->getChoices()=157175896

Hmm... I haven't used wxconsole restore tab for a long time because.

It did indeed restore though but wxconsole is essentially locked up and
I can't do anything in restore tab at all and in console tab, messages
are still written but it isn't possible to click into the command line.

What are the messages in the console output window?

Also, do I understand correctly that the restore itself finished
successfully?

Obviously I could click the wxconsole closed and re-open it.

That would be a usable first-aid measure when the restore job finished...

Standard error written to terminal states...

(wxconsole:5370): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_container_remove: assertion

That's more something for the programmers, I think :-)

I am experiencing the same thing. Strangely this worked the first time I
tested it. I also get the OK button remains inactive after applying changed
to the default restore configuration. Starting to think wx-console on windows
isn't very reliable and bconsole is the way to go.

:-)

BTW What Operating System and version are you running?


I am running Debian, Linux version 2.4.27-3-386.

In another post, I had explained how I got the permissions fixed (at
least I think, they aren't the same as they use to be, but they are
what someone else had reccommeded), but bacula was hanging. It did
quit hanging, and turns out I had forgotten to restart the storage
daemon. But there still seems to be a problem, as this is what I get
now:

*update slots
Using default Catalog name=MyCatalog DB=bacula
Automatically selected Storage: Exabyte
Connecting to Storage daemon Exabyte at dinah:9103 ...
3306 Issuing autochanger "slots" command.
Device "Exabyte" has 0 slots.
No slots in changer to scan.

Could this still be a permission problem? Here are my permissions now:

crw-rw---- 1 root tape 9, 0 2005-02-25 22:38 /dev/st0
crw------- 1 root root 21, 0 2005-02-25 22:38 /dev/sg0

I assumed /dev/sg0 should have the same permissions as /dev/st0, so I
added this to my script:

KERNEL=="sg*", GROUP="tape", MODE="0660"

but this didn't change the permissions for /dev/sg0. Is this likely
to be the problem the changer didn't see any slots, and any idea why
didn't changing the permissions work like it did for /dev/st0?

thanks again,
maria


have been bacula running earlier as root? and right now is running as
bacula user? check starting script

cos if so as simple test change devices owner to bacula like
chown bacula:bacula /dev/st0
chown bacula:bacula /dev/sg0
and check if it works from bconsole
cos as i pointed it earlier when u run mtx in console u are doing it as
root - dont u? not bacula
when u r doing it from bconsole u r doing it as bacula group bacula - i
guess thats how it is running.
correct me if i am wrong



Ok, that did it. Changing them both to be owned by bacula fixed it. Now
I just have figure out how to make sure they stay that way. Thanks a bunch!


i think u wont do it
try the same as u done with 'st0' and 'chgrp' for 'sg0' to 'tape' then
add perm for group
then stick bacula user into 'tape' group

Thanks Tomasz, but I can't get the script to change the group for
/dev/sg0 for some reason. Here is my script:

KERNEL=="st*", GROUP="tape", MODE="0660"
KERNEL=="nst*", GROUP="tape", MODE="0660"
KERNEL=="sg*", GROUP="tape", MODE="0660"

When I run it, the group and permissions for st* and nst* change, but
not sg*. Sticking bacula in group tape makes sense to me, but what
does it mean "add perm for group"?

cheers,

I get constant lockups with wx-console on various commands (probably
every one that i've used at some stage). Can't seem to find a pattern to it.

I access the same director with gnome and text consoles with no problems
at all

I too am starting to think wx-console isn't reliable at the moment

Hello,

There are several unfortunate issues with wxconsole.

1. We have tested and built it against wxWidgets 2.6.x (if I remember right),
and some users seem to be building it against wxWidgets 2.8, which is almost
sure to fail since their API has surprise changes on each major version :-(

2. There is and has been no Bacula developer to work on wxconsole for several
years now. I have "patched" a few problems, but my "patching" is not a good
solution.

3. We are developing a replacement (bat) that we can support, which already
has far more functionality than wxconsole.

4. So, bottom line, wxconsole is deprecated and thus scheduled to go away in a
future release (probably 2.4.0).

Regards,

Kern

Sounds good and thanks for the update. I probably wouldn't care much

found that gives me any kind of click through to navigate the backup
tree for restore

What is language for "bat"? do you need some help for programming? In my
mind, what mostly lacks in wx-console is a "restricted" way for "normal"
users without admin rights who can only view their own station (and
perhaps their own files) and can only restore where file were but
perhaps with a new name.
