Need help compiling Automatic for Duo
I found Automatic and want to use it with Transmission. I've gotten a lot of packages installed on my Duo to compile, but I'm stuck. Here is the error I'm getting: checking for LIBXML... configure...
Ok, I just checked and it's working as expected for me.
The major reason why it may not work for you is a faulty /etc/automatic.conf. If automatic detects an error there, it will abort right after being started. Now there's another thing with the tick-box and the green button. It goes like this:
The tick box initially states whether the add-on is active or not. By default, every newly installed add-on is active. Obviously, since there hasn't been any configuration yet, the service will try to start, and fail. Thus there's no green button. But there's still the mark on the checkbox since the add-on itself is in state "active". Now if you uncheck the add-on and click on "Save", FrontView will not only disable the add-on (e.g. put in state "inactive") but also try to shut down any running tasks. Since there aren't any (because of the error with either no config available or error in config) it will report that it couldn't shut down the service because it wasn't running in the first place.
So in essence what you're seeing is the normal behavior, although I agree that this may be a bit confusing ;)
