A few Next Generation Tips and Tricks

I ran the "mount" program as you outlined it and received the following: ( Galculator.cmg has an icon on the Desktop, the program resides in /tmp/klik/galculator)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@n6re ~]# mount -o user,noauto,ro,exec /mnt/app/Desktop/galculator.cmg /mnt/app1
mount: special device /mnt/app/Desktop/galculator.cmg does not exist
[root@n6re ~]#

gcalculator.cmg IS on the desktop, not just an icon. The stuff in /tmp was used to build it. You can test if it has a hope of running by doing

/tmp/klik/galculator/wrapper

If this doesn't work then the cmg isn't going to work either (probably missing dependencies as you are not using a supported distro).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@n6re ~]# mount -o user,noauto,ro,exec /mnt/app/Desktop/galculator.cmg /mnt/app1
mount: special device /mnt/app/Desktop/galculator.cmg does not exist
[root@n6re ~]#

Ooops, sorry, I forgot the loop, the user is uneccessaryand you missed out a / in /mnt/app/1. Should be:

mount -o loop.noauto,ro,exec /mnt/app/Desktop/galculator.cmg /mnt/app/1

The following occured when I performed the corrected "mount" command:__________________________________________ ________

[root@n6re ~]# mount -o loop.noauto,ro,exec /mnt/app/Desktop/galculator.cmg /mnt/app/1
mount: mount point /mnt/app/1 does not exist
[root@n6re ~]#


I could set up /mnt/app/1 with the chmod I needed in Knoppix.

I haven't done the /tmp/klik/wrapper yet....

Ok, first try just clicking on the cmg you have (klik is installed? fstab is updated? /mnt/app is writable). Any errors or does it now work?
Next try the /tmp/klik/galculator/wrapper and again report and errors if it doesn't work.
Finally if it still isn't working, yes you will also need to mkdir /mnt/app/1 (no need to chmod or anything as you are the one using it). Just remember to delete it when you are finished using it.

Ran the following (looks familiar!):
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@n6re ~]# /tmp/klik/galculator/wrapper
/tmp/klik/galculator/usr/bin/galculator: error while loading shared libraries: libglade-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[root@n6re ~]#

So there is a dependency problem which prevents the app from being mounted in /mnt/app/1.

My guess is that this might be universal for all the .cmg's in my limited number of librairies.

I could load up on all librairies available and try again later. But...other failures may occur in other areas as well.

Thanks for your patient and helpful answers.

You may or may not have a problem with the mounting of the cmg files, you previously would have when you didn't have the exec option in fstab. This app won't run for you though as is because you are missing a library (at least one library). You could try and follow the previous advice on adding packages into your cmg if your brave!

As I said, the exec entry was always there from day one.

I am not brave, a little crazy mebbe!
I did try other .cmg files but they had lib problems, too.

I suspect that to be only the first encountered dependency!

I was able to run the same galculator.cmg from the Klik file after opening by click and drag the AppRun file therein to the wrapper file therein. It gave the same lib file not found. And AppRun another .cmg resulted in a different lib file not found using the same technique.

Happy New Year!
