Sunrise 0.42h released - now on SourceForge

[Laurens]

I just released Sunrise 0.42h. The project is now open-sourced and available on SourceForge. I made a small change so that Atom 1.0 feeds are now parsed correctly. Previously, only Atom 0.3 was supported. More and more feeds are switching to Atom 1.0, so you'll be able to use these as well.

What does this move to open source mean for your long term plan of the commercial product for PPC?

Laurens, open source or not, you deserve thanks for the excellent Jpluck and Sunrise desktops. You've certainly made my life easier over the last few years. Whenever I go over to the dark side - PPC - which seems inevitable, I will still be interested in the PPC viewer.

Sunrise 0.42i is now available. I've updated the Linux/GTK binary release with the latest source. I tested it only lightly with a Knoppix CD as I don't have Linux installed on my machine, but it seems to work alright. Some minor UI glitches that appeared in earlier releases appear to be gone now.

Please help a Linux noob here.
I have downloaded the Linux version and extracted it to a folder on my desktop
After navigating to the folder within my Ubuntu terminal box, I am trying to run the sunrise shell script which I thought should be:

sudo sunrise-desktop.sh

and I get the error:

sudo: sunrise-desktop.sh: command not found

Advice and guidance much appreciated. I am trying hard to migrate from Windows and Sunrise is a key app to get my Plucker feeds going. I managed to sync my Treo650 with Evolution on my Ubuntu desktop.

You need to call it as:
./sunrise-desktop.sh or <full path to directory>/sunrise-desktop.sh

palmdoc :


You need first too make the file sunrise-desktop.sh an executable :

chmod u+x sunrise-desktop.sh
Then you can launch ./sunrise-desktop.sh in the directory.

You don't need to launch this file as root via the sudo command.

You need also to install a java machine on your ubuntu (see ubuntu forum on this topic).

If you don't want to transform the sunrise-desktop.sh file as an executable, you can launch it via the
following command :
. ./sunrise-desktop.sh
or :
sh ./sunrise-desktop.sh

You must place yourself on the directory where you have extracted the archive.

Hi,
I tried to start sunrise-04.2 under Linux (Fedora Core-3, jre 1.5.0_11), but have received the following:

Prompt, please, as it to correct?

I am getting a Java-related error, though it sounds a bit different from the one reported by kry.

Sunrise Desktop 0.42j used to work for me on Ubuntu Linux. It was initially set up on Edgy 6.10. That system was later auto-upgraded to Feisty 7.04. Sunrise 0.42j just kept on working -- it was great.

But now (a few auto-updates of Feisty later), when I try to run sunrise-desktop.sh, I get:

-----------------------------

Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide in getting Sunrise Desktop to work again.
