Ali, I sent you the Java files direct to your email to keep the traffic down on the list. The install is really quite simple: There are two files: [downloads]$ ls -lrt -rw-rw-r-- 1 tspdlp tspdlp 840971 Dec 30 16:22 securediary-0.3.0a.tar.bz2 -rw-rw-r-- 1 tspdlp tspdlp 12195 Dec 30 16:29 jce_policy-1_4_2.zip [tspdlp@lemix downloads]$ Expand the files: [downloads]$ tar -jxvf securediary-0.3.0a.tar.bz2 [downloads]$ unzip jce_policy-1_4_2.zip [downloads]$ ls -lrt drwxr-xr-x 2 tspdlp tspdlp 4096 Jun 16 2003 jce drwxrwxr-x 3 tspdlp tspdlp 4096 Dec 30 16:24 JDiary -rw-rw-r-- 1 tspdlp tspdlp 840971 Dec 30 16:22 securediary-0.3.0a.tar.bz2 -rw-rw-r-- 1 tspdlp tspdlp 12195 Dec 30 16:29 jce_policy-1_4_2.zip [downloads]$ I moved JDiary out of my working download directory to my home directory. It could really be placed anywhere. [downloads]$ mv JDiary ~/ Figure out where to put your java security modules: [downloads]$ which java /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/jre/1.4.2/bin/java I have Oracle installed so I use it's JRE by default. It has not caused me any problems so I have not done anything to use the Java that comes with FC4. Anyway, the path to the directory to be updated for me was: /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/jre/1.4.2/lib/security [downloads]$ cd /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/jre/1.4.2/lib/security [security]$ ls -l -rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle dba 30337 Apr 6 2005 cacerts -rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle dba 2223 Apr 6 2005 java.policy -rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle dba 6871 Apr 6 2005 java.security -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4368 Dec 30 16:38 local_policy.jar -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4355 Dec 30 16:38 US_export_policy.jar I always keep original files... [security]$ mv local_policy.jar local_policy.jar.old [security]$ mv US_export_policy.jar US_export_policy.jar.old Copy the updates: [security]$ cp ~/downloads/jce/*.jar . [security]$ ls -l -rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle dba 30337 Apr 6 2005 cacerts -rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle dba 2223 Apr 6 2005 java.policy -rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle dba 6871 Apr 6 2005 java.security -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4368 Dec 30 16:38 local_policy.jar -rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle dba 2910 Apr 6 2005 local_policy.jar.old -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4355 Dec 30 16:38 US_export_policy.jar -rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle dba 2429 Apr 6 2005 US_export_policy.jar.old Now try to run the program: [security]$ cd ~/JDiary [security]$ ./runit& After I saw it work via command line I created a desktop Icon for it so that now I just double click on it to bring the program up. I hope this helps. The program is extremely basic and could use some some serious aesthetic improvements but it does work. I use it to keep simple notes on a day to day bases. It encrypts the data, which was the most important to me because I keep both personal and personnel information in it. If you are not interested in the encryption I found two other programs that worked: They are "cire" "Daily Journal". Between the two "Daily Journal" is the one I would use if I were looking for a GUI. The "cire" program will work in console mode. Hope this helps. -Paul On Sat, 2005-12-31 at 23:37 +0200, Ali Helmy wrote: > Hey Paul, > > I'm quite interested in the diary software as well, so I'm a bit new > to Linux, so I need to ask you two favours if you can please: > > A) I downloaded the .tar.bz2 file, now can you please walk me through > installing it? > B) The files I need from Java need a sign-in, so can you send them to > me, because I dont have a sign-in... > > Thanks >
