So... I still have this other Pi I bought sitting under my desk and one night I'm going to get around to installing and screen-capping it and creating a "Raspberry Pi Raspian Citadel" install document expanding on the data from the messages above. The guy using CentOS above is having the same basic problem with CentOS that the Pi users are experiencing with Raspbian on the easy install - and that is dependencies that need to be installed before you execute the Easy Install - so a doc like that would probably be useful to more people than just Pi users. 

I just need to get some time. This weekend might be free. 

Thanks for the RSS feed assistance. That'll be a big help. The Sanitarium is kinda stalling out right now on content. I'm getting a ton of users - but none of them are posting... 

Hello,

I'm fresh user of Citadel.  I wonder how to retrieve automatically my gmail emails into my Cotadel mailbox.  Also How can I sent message to gmail or hotmail user account ?

Thank.

Ok. I've installed Citadel webclient on my second Pi using the instructions I posted above and it all went smooth - so that IS the way to do it. The text client SAYS it installs using easy-install - but it doesn't work. I haven't set up and configured that - and might do that as a second document (I'm not sure a lot of people are interested in that - it mostly appeals to diehard oldschool Citadel users, anyhow...) 

I've got screen-captures and will be doing a step-by-step guide that I'll publish here. Or maybe I'll post a link here and post it on my Citadel to get more traffic over there. Either way... I made a lot of progress tonight - now I just have to clean it up into a legible document. 

The only thing that I got hung up on in the document I made above is this: 

Easy Install requires a working build environment. This is installed by default on many Linux distributions. [But not Pi] Otherwise, to install a build environment use the following commands (as root):

apt-get update apt-get install build-essential curl g++ gettext shared-mime-info libssl-dev zlib1g-dev 

That was throwing up an error about apt-get update not running with parameters. Took me a few seconds to figure out what I had done wrong there. 

It should be: 

Easy Install requires a working build environment. This is installed by default on many Linux distributions. [But not Pi] Otherwise, to install a build environment use the following commands (as root):

apt-get update && apt-get install build-essential curl g++ gettext shared-mime-info libssl-dev zlib1g-dev

with "&&" operators between apt-get update and apt-get install. Anyone with Debian experience would figure that out - but if you're new to Pi, Linux and Raspbian, that could be a frustrating error in the original document I posted above. 

I'll fix that in the final version. 

I've got a dinner to go to tonight, and I'll probably be coming home drunk - which means I'll probably be hung over tomorrow... so... I'll probably have something ready to publish by Sunday afternoon. :) 

And, although this time I made an account "BBS" to run the Citadel under - I just downloaded an image, then uploaded it as an attachment on this second citadel - and got the same problem. It doesn't work... can't open it, and if I download it and try and open it locally, it is corrupted. 

So, I'm not sure why that works on Uncensored but not on the Citadels I'm configuring on Pi, but - something is broken... either Operator Error or bugs in the chickenscratch. 

Hello, been running Citadel for a few years and can't find an answer to this simple issue.  After restarting my server I have to run  '/usr/lib/citadel-server/setup' everytime, because Citadel is defaulting the webcit port to 00 rather than 504.  In 'etc/default/webcit' it contains 'export WEBCIT_CITADEL_PORT='504' but I think Citadel should be storing the port in the database when ececuting setup, but doesn't.  Anyone, by chance run into this issue?

Here is my first draft of the Raspbian rPi setup document. It is in Microsoft .docx format. 

Please look it over and let me know if you see any errors or problems. 

I'll work on a Text Client setup document later. 

Great thanks!   Installed it years ago, most likely used the deb but don't remember for sure.  I'll give your method a try.

Here is my first draft of the Raspbian rPi setup document. It is in Microsoft .docx format. 

Ig - I couldn't upload the file to the directory in this room - I don't have upload permissions. 

Somehow the version I uploaded didn't catch my edits that added my contact info. I'd prefer this version be archived, if you decide to add it as a permanent file in the file directory here. 

Hi all! Two questions really. On the Online users' page, and listed as not logged-in, I occasionally see localhost.localdomain attempting a login.  There's usually a few hacker ips but lately, now and again I see localhost.localdomain.  Is that some sort of masquerading or is someone getting access to my linode through Linodes admin system?

Second question, is it possible to have Citadel automatically kill none user attempts or is that allready been done?

Thanks for all your help!

Forgot to add that sometimes, on one of my mail accs/user, my mail is showing up on my Thunderbird client as read.  So somehow the 'read' flag has been tripped.  Makes a little paranoid!

No takers.  Does that mean I'm totally paranoid, stupid, or is everyone in the group working of an intelligence service? Haha!
