OPENSUSE killed hylafax

English Applications
#21 
ConditionPathExists=/var/spool/hylafax/etc/setup.cache was not met


Changed to:


ConditionPathExists=/etc/hylafax/setup.cache

In 2 files hylafax-hfaxd.service and hylafax-faxq.service
Now hylafax starts but the scheduler doesn’t.

I’ll work on this again tomorrow.
Again thanks for all the help

#22

Hi
Change it back and run the setup command I posted and see if that helps.

Setup command? confused

#25

Hi
Post #20…

Run as root user;


/usr/sbin/faxsetup -server
#26

I did that when I added my backup modem. But did it again. Nothing. I’m on my phone right now.

Looking at the log files I keep seeing :No etc/setup.cache file; run faxsetup first

there is no setup.cache file there in /etc/. so I linked it. still nothing
why are so many files for hylafax moved all over the place?

#28

Hi
You working on the wrong service it’s hfaxd not faxq…

#29

hylafax is running. the scheduler (hylafax-faxq.service) isn’t starting.

hfaxd is starting… I am very confused now

#30

Hi
Well, you modified it (hfaxd) and it started, did you change it back to the default and run the setup program?

#31

YES .Multiple times

#32

Hi
OK, so just the scheduler then… So if you run the clean service does that help?


systemctl start hylafax-faxqclean.service
systemctl status hylafax-faxqclean.service
#33

NOPE. Did nothing

#34

Hi
So no errors show in the status output?

#35

No new errors. Nothing new. Will be back on this tomorrow. Wify is mad no faxxy.
Submitted to the hylafax feed.

#36

The maintainer of hylafax for opensuse needs to find a new job. The files are are all over the place. Going to try a source install. If it fails… I’m gonna have to move to Fedora. Been using suse since mandrake death. I’m so disappointed.

Did you read the forum? files are in the WRONG PLACE…This is a old and simple program. I’m not a coder.

https://forums.opensuse.org/archive/index.php/t-473812.html Yes that is a work around I made 9 years ago. Just want to fax.

#39

hylafax+ running quite well for the hylafax-maintainer (me). And btw, its an unpaid community contribution, so no need for a new job.

Have not read the whole thread…what is the status?
