How to setup amuled to start at boot?

Can amule run in an X-less environment?

The "server" is actually a desktop machine *with* X11 installed.
I just wanted to run only one aMule instance and control it from everywhere.

Anyways You are right:

/etc/rc5.d
...
S20amule-daemon
...
S30gdm
...

When amule-daemon is started there is no X active (yet).
I assume this is Ok (I didn't mess with those settings!) and amule-daemon can actually run headless.
If it is not so then ithis is a bug.

Should I file it in bugzilla?

He means you need sudo/administrative rights to start the program. You
can't start such programs at the boot time, this is build for your own
safety :D

Ok sounds pretty weird :)

Anyone know how to bypass it? There must be a way....otherwise would have been pretty stupid to have created a daemon which is just an headless program...no?

Try this out: sudo /etc/init.d/amule-daemon start
and aMule is running as a service. That might help :)

Eheh...I'm already using that, thou only after logon...what I was tryin to avoid was the logon...

I thought that all the deamon, run at (machine)start up(boot time) was run by the root automatically...

The thing I have not figure out yet is...why if I sudo the daemon on logon it works and not at boot time?

Thx btw for the attention :)

I think that's a design decision, if a vulnerability comes up while
booting we don't want to give it root previledges so it can do even
more damage.

I know and You're perfectly right...

ok, noobish question(sorry i've switched to linux since less than a year so...v.v)
what if I change permisions to the daemon inside the init.d to oblige it to run with tha permissions? I think that nothing should change because everything inside there is *run* from root?

I'm I wrong?

Thx for the attention :)

Ah damn sorry!

I've misread the first time ZioNemo's comment(Amuled will not start without password for external connection.)
The problem is the connection! ok...now I see...

mmmh...so...auto logon + daemon start + machine lock....to bypass it..v.v (bleah)

Thx the same!

Ok, I got it working...strangely! o.0

I had one prob yesterday night(aka i'm a complete idiot and i've chmoded the whole disk to root...one flag can ruin u to the bone XD ) and I had to make the server back from scratch.

So what I did?

A. Saved from synaptic the list of installed package.
B. reinstalled the sys
B1. configured as I needed
C. Amule part: run the normal prog(amule). Configure it. I've Configured /etc/defaults/samba-daemon to use my sudoer user and i've put a specific folder under home(called .amule) which owner is the sudoer user. (optional: configure the amulegui on the remote machine and/or on the same machine)

Checkin' the ps I see amuled and amuleweb running...in fact I can connect but...I can't see anything inside...I don't understand...

It's working...with issues...i'll do further check and keep u informed :)

see ya

ahahah...ok found...omg... [BUT...DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!!] - warned u...

D. Tricky part. If U wish to configure it U should run amule, then copy the whole configuration(*AFTER KILLING THE DAEMON/PROG* - important) to the daemon config folder mentioned above.

E. Now's ready and fully working.

so, recap:

let's say:
user: AmuleUser (can sudo)
config_folder: /home/.amule (or without . if u wish)

- Create sudo user AmuleUser
- create folder /home/.amule with AmuleUser:groupUwish rw permissions (0770)

- gedit /etc/defaults/samba-daemon:

[code]
   AMULED_USER="AmuleUser"

   bla bla bla [...]

   AMULED_HOME="/home/.amule"
[/code]

- Open amule and configure it to the bone XD

- sudo cp /home/yourUser/.amule /home/.amule

- Check that no mulelock file is in /home/.amule/.amule!!!

Fine. Done! =)

OK...WHY NOT TRY THIS AT HOME:

as soon as I rebooted I cheked with amulegui from the other pc...every part file was there and every shared file was there, as the server list...thou I now am not able to join the server machine(the one amule's running) via xephyr and I'm not able to log the amule user via login on the server!
Look's like it "locks" out quite everything(fortunately i'm still able to log as another non-sudo and sudo users).

I'll report to amule programmers this bizarre behavior....can anyone test what i wrote plz, so I can be sure it's not an issue which occurs only to me?
