When I would try and run ocsinventory-agent on my laptop, it would freeze, so I added the debug flag and noticed it was freezing here:

ocsinventory-agent --devlib --debug

I did an strace and noted that there was some sort of illegal seek going on, and an option to cancel or retry. I tried again without strace and simply pressed the “c” key whenver it halted. Finally the process went through to the end:

I still have a lot to learn with ikiwiki, so for now I’m sticking with MediaWiki.

Its working for me, though I did encounter quite a few gotchas:

Here’s what I setup:

.xinitrc / .Xsession

nm-applet &
exec awesome

Then I copied the default rc.lua:

cp /etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua

I messed around with rc.lua for awhile, but just couldn’t figure out anything useful. Eventually I’ll figure it out, but first I have to figure out the tags.



I’m glad the config file is written in Lua, as I’ve been trying to learn more of it lately.
