Basics
There is no GUI at the moment.
Memopal runs as unprivileged user on Command Line Interface
or as a service (as root user)
Using it on command line tip&tricks
Typical usage
memopal -u username -p password --backupFolder /[complete_path]
see memopal -h for list of command line options
Problem with ssl
In many cases there is a mess with CA certificate files, which are in different path for different releases.
If memopal complains about SSL
specify --caCertPath option
memopal -u username -p password --caCertpath [pathtocafile] --backupFolder /[complete_path]
it's somewhere in /etc
for ubuntu/debian: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
in case file is missing, since we force you to have ca-certificates package rebuild it doing:
[sudo|run as root] update-ca-certificates
for fedora: /etc/pki/tls/cert.pem
Using it as a system service
Once you installed it (see Installation)
run it once manually as root
su - root memopal -u username -p password --backupFolder /[complete_path]
or
sudo -i memopal -u username -p password --backupFolder /[complete_path]
From now on you can use it as as system service.
there is an init script (called memopal)
... /etc/init.d/memopal [start|stop] ...
Then if you wish add it to a runlevel (usually 5 for X windows interface)
... cd /etc/rc5.d/ ln -s ../init.d/memopal S95memopal ...
Installation
Debian Based distributions (Debian & Ubuntu)
Get the .deb package from our betaprogram
dpkg -i memopal-xxx.deb
If installation fails for unmet dependencies, let the system resolve them doing:
apt-get -f install
RPM Based distributions (Fedora)
Get the .rpm file from page
rpm -U memopal-xxx-x.rpm
If you have unmet dependencies, ask yum to download it:
yum install missingpackage
SSL certs!!!
Please note again that fedora puts CA cert files in a different place you have to specify it from command line
