Reporting Problems with these Autopackages

If you have any problems with these autopackages that I provide, then I would love to hear from you and try to get them working! To figure out what's going wrong, I need some information. Please email the following to taj at wildgardenseed dot com.

• Your Distribution
• Which Desktop Environment you are running (e.g., KDE, Gnome, XFCE, etc)
• If you are trying to install the package as root or as a user
• The output of package -v (run from the command-line)
• A log from Autopackage (see below)
• Anything else you think might be helpful

How to generate a debug log from Autopackage

If an autopackage is failing for a some reason which is not apparent, then it is oftentimes useful to generate a log of events that occurred while installing the package. To generate this log, do the following:

1. Bring up a command line prompt (konsole under KDE, gnome-terminal under Gnome, xterm under other DEs). Change to the directory where the .package file is located.
2. Run export DEBUGLEVEL=3 from the terminal. This tells Autopackage to log it's events in detail.
3. Execute the package from the same terminal (sh packagename*.package).
4. After the package fails to install, attach autopackage.log to the email. autopackage.log will be located in the same directory where you ran the sh packagename*.package command.

Thanks for your help!
