I noticed that an email you sent to the SuSE list indicated that you had Ximian's Redcarpet2 running with SuSE 9.0. I have tried to use that, and have seen the answers that Anders Johansson wrote. when I tried
rug install red-carpet
I got the same error you did; Unable to find package in any subscribed channel. i saw the suggestion to run
rug subscribe redcarpet2
I was in the same situation you are: I wanted to use redcarpet but at this point I didn't want to spend the time necessary to become an expert on it. I just wanted to install KDE 3.2. Anyway, on a hunch I typed just "rug" and got a list of options. One of those options was "channels". And among the channels was "redcarpet2". I was able to subscribe to it. I wonder whether you might have missed activating rug using the method that Anders suggested. Following the path I took might give you a clue as to what is going on. I very much sympathize with the problems you're encountering in trying to get a job done with unfamiliar software. Paul Abrahams

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I had been down that route with no luck. I issued the command /etc/init.d/rcd start and then tried the command rug channels It gave me the message Warning --- No channels available --- The site www-files.ximian.com/redcarpet2/suse-90-i586 just has 3 rpms, the rcd, the rug, and the red-carpet rpms. The site ftp.ximian.com/pub/redcarpet2/suse-90-i586 has a bunch of other rpms, including libredcarpet files, a python-gtk rpm, rcd -devel and -module rpms. Would installing all the files in that direcvtory help. Did you have to do that. Thanks for any input. Mike -- Michael A.

Very strange, but try rug service-add http://red-carpet.ximian.com and rug service-add http://open-carpet.org then try "rug subscribe redcarpet2" again

Anders, Thanks very much for the reply. Unfortunately, the two commands you suggested both give the same error, which I set out below. ERROR: Unable to mount service for 'http://open-carpet.org': Unable to download service info: IO error - Soup error: Bad Request (400) In reading the man pages for rcd, it says there should be a file called /var/lib/rcd/services.xml which lists servers from which you can download software and /var/lib/rcd/subscriptions.xml which lists channel subscription information. Neither of these files is present, which would certainly explain why i get a message saying no channels are available. Mike -- Michael A.

Hmmm. Can you ping the site open-carpet.org at all? Or get to it with a web browser? You are online when you run those commands, right?

/var/lib/rcd/services.xml

/var/lib/rcd/subscriptions.xml
Right, those two are created by the commands rug service-add <service> and rug subscribe <channel> respectively, if everything goes well.

Yes, I have no problem pinging open-carpet.org nor reaching the web site. We have a DSL connection, so I am always online. We use a machine on the internal network as a proxy, but /etc/ximian/rcd.conf does contain the line proxy=http://192.168.1.1:3128 which is correct. I am behind an ipcop firewall. Does rug use a special port that perhaps is blocked by the default configuration of the firewall? I don't know how rug communicates, looking at the man pages it implies http, and I have heard of Soup, but knowing nothing about it.

I don't know what to think, but have a look in /var/log/messages and see if it produces a more informative error message there.

Is ping enabled? What about traceroute/path? Does it help if you set the env var ftp_proxy or http_proxy? -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
