Thanks, Damian, for the background and for the specific guidance.

Ubuntu had me first run this: sudo apt-get python-gtk2 before it would respond to sudo ./install. But it all worked out and arm 1.4.4 is even better than my previous version. Thanks for this.

I use putty on Win7 to log into my relay box, and after the arm upgrade I notice that when I resize the putty window the arm displays "go all soft" and display pretty much random bits around the screen. I've played with putty's session settings and have hit upon "keep the same number of columns and rows when resizing window", which keeps things stable, but doesn't allow me to see more of the excellent dataset arm offers. I'll contiue to adjust things as I go along.

Thanks for your hard work on arm - it's a real boon to my education and satisfaction with running my Tor relay.

Hi Bill. Unfortunately Ubuntu pulls packages from the Debian repositories when they cut a new release, then never update them unless someone specifically requests a backport (both a hassle and takes a while to catch someone's eye). In short - not at all your fault, this is a common gotcha. ;)

We have plans afoot to add the tor-arm package to the TorProject deb repositories which will make it a little easier to upgrade... https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/3391

but until then I'd suggest removing the tor-arm deb, then downloading the arm tarball and simply running 'sudo ./install' from it.

Let me know if you run into any issues! -Damian _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays

Very odd. Arm checks its screen dimensions at each refresh and for me dynamic resizing works perfectly. My guess it that this is a putty issue. Does top show similar terminal glitches when you resize?

# ./install /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:57: GtkWarning: could not open display warnings.warn(str(e), _gtk.Warning) installed to /usr/share/arm

ihmo, this install script is not suitable for servers

Agreed, the install script shouldn't require pygtk. Kamran was working on an arm gtk interface for GSoC so I added its requirements to the prereq.py, but it's still a prototype and shouldn't require gtk of normal curses users. The fix in the install script is to simply change... python src/prereq.py --both

to... python src/prereq.py

I'll go ahead and issue a hotfix for this. Cheers! -Damian

Whoa, that was fast! Thanks, Damian. Rock on!
