Bug#1028924: ledgersmb: Init script calls start-stop-daemon incorrectly, fails to start
by JB 18 Jan '26

18 Jan '26

Package: ledgersmb Version: 1.6.9+ds-2+deb11u3 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: j-dbug.666.114.1101(a)x.firehead.org Dear Maintainer, I installed LedgerSMB with defaults on Debian-11 with sysvinit (instead of systemd). When I try to start the daemon, it produces the following output: # /etc/init.d/ledgersmb start $Starting ledgersmb: start-stop-daemon: unrecognized option '--interval=5' Try 'start-stop-daemon --help' for more information. # I am not an expert on start-stop-daemon, but looking at the init script, it seems start-stop-daemon is invoked with /usr/bin/start_server as the intended program to run, which then has further arguments for that to start /usr/bin/starman. However the start-stop-daemon invocation lacks a "--start" argument prior to the /usr/bin/start_server, and the "--start" seems to be the norm among other uses of start-stop-daemon in the system's /etc/init.d/* files. So maybe the init script is for some completely different version of start-stop-daemon, or the arguments are really for a different program, or something. I'm not quite sure. -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.6 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'oldstable-updates'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-20-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages ledgersmb depends on: ii adduser 3.118 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.77 ii dpkg 1.20.12 ii libcarp-always-perl 0.16-1 ii libcgi-emulate-psgi-perl 0.23-1 ii libcgi-simple-perl 1.115-2 ii libclass-c3-xs-perl 0.15-1+b1 ii libconfig-inifiles-perl 3.000003-1 ii libdata-uuid-perl 1.226-1+b1 ii libdatetime-format-strptime-perl 1.7800-1 ii libdatetime-perl 2:1.54-1 ii libdbd-pg-perl 3.14.2-1+b1 ii libdbi-perl 1.643-3+b1 ii libhtml-escape-perl 1.10-1+b3 ii libhttp-exception-perl 0.04007-1 ii libio-stringy-perl 2.111-3 ii libjs-dojo-dijit 1.15.4+dfsg1-1+deb11u1 ii libjson-perl 4.03000-1 ii liblocale-codes-perl 3.66-1 ii liblocale-maketext-lexicon-perl 1.00-1.1 ii liblog-log4perl-perl 1.54-1 ii libmime-lite-perl 3.031-1 ii libmime-types-perl 2.18-1 ii libmoose-perl 2.2014-2 ii libmoosex-nonmoose-perl 0.26-1.1 ii libnamespace-autoclean-perl 0.29-1 ii libnumber-format-perl 1.75-1.1 ii libpgobject-perl 2.2.0-1 ii libpgobject-simple-perl 3.000002-1.1 ii libpgobject-simple-role-perl 2.000002-1.1 ii libpgobject-type-bigfloat-perl 2.001-1 ii libpgobject-type-bytestring-perl 1.2.3-1 ii libpgobject-type-datetime-perl 2.000002-1 ii libpgobject-util-dbadmin-perl 1.4.0-1 ii libpgobject-util-dbmethod-perl 1.00.003-1 ii libplack-builder-conditionals-perl 0.05-1.1 ii libplack-middleware-reverseproxy-perl 0.16-1 ii libplack-perl 1.0048-1 ii libplack-request-withencoding-perl 0.14-1 ii libtemplate-perl 2.27-1+b3 ii libtext-markdown-perl 1.000031-3 ii libtry-tiny-perl 0.30-1 ii libversion-compare-perl 0.14-1.1 ii libxml-simple-perl 2.25-1 ii perl 5.32.1-4+deb11u2 ii postgresql-client-13 [postgresql-client] 13.9-0+deb11u1 ii postgresql-contrib 13+225 ii starman 0.4015-1 ii ucf 3.0043 Versions of packages ledgersmb recommends: ii apache2 2.4.54-1~deb11u1 pn libjson-xs-perl <none> pn liblatex-driver-perl <none> pn libmath-bigint-gmp-perl <none> pn libtemplate-plugin-latex-perl <none> pn libtex-encode-perl <none> pn texlive-latex-recommended <none> Versions of packages ledgersmb suggests: ii exim4-daemon-light [mail-transport-agent] 4.94.2-7 pn latex-cjk-all <none> pn libimage-size-perl <none> pn libopenoffice-oodoc-perl <none> pn libx12-parser-perl <none> pn lpr <none> ii postgresql 13+225 pn texlive-xetex <none> -- debconf information: * ledgersmb/lsmb_proxy: None * ledgersmb/admin_login: lsmb_dbadmin

Adding to OpenBSD. Is this a good time now?
by chris＠bennettconstruction.us 19 Nov '24

19 Nov '24

A lot of Perl modules need to be imported into OpenBSD in order for it to be installable. I plan on asking for help to do this from OpenBSD users. It seems like LedgerSMB would now be a good import with all of the development of testing, etc. Are there any big changes on the immediate horizon for 1.5? I'm not running LedgerSMB because of the work that needs to be done first. As a side note, I am working on getting the forums back up, but $$ are a bit of a problem right now. Trying to find a baremetal server outside of the USA that I can afford hasn't been successful so far. I found one, but they charge $30 for remote access for 24 hours. I can't afford $90 a month, which is most of what I am finding. Thanks, Chris Bennett

[NOTICE] End-Of-Life notice for 1.9
by Erik Huelsmann 31 Aug '23

31 Aug '23

To all users of LedgerSMB 1.9, this is a notice that the community support for 1.9 expires on September 24th. As of 2023-09-24, there will be no more releases for 1.9, which has had 30 patch releases over its 2-year period of community support. Users running versions older than 1.10 are encouraged to upgrade to 1.10 which will receive community support until 2024-10-08. If the remaining period of community support is too short on 1.10, please note that we're currently working toward a 1.11 release which is expected to appear over the coming weeks. 1.11 will - like its predecessors 1.9 and 1.10 - receive 2 years of community support. If it is not possible to upgrade to 1.10 or 1.11, please note that although community support has expired, commercial support may be available for these older versions from vendors. Please consult the Commercial Support page on the LedgerSMB project webpage ( https://ledgersmb.org/content/commercial-support) -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP.

Preparations for 1.11 release - translator heads-up
by Erik Huelsmann 28 Aug '23

28 Aug '23

Last weekend, the project created the 1.11 release branch as part of the preparations for the upcoming 1.11 release now planned for end September. This mail is a call to translators to update the LedgerSMB translations on Transifex (https://www.transifex.com/ledgersmb/ledgersmb/dashboard/) while there is still time. Please note that some translations don't have any active translators assigned at the moment, yet are in need of updating. So for those of you who are wondering what to give back to the community, please sign up and spend some time translating terms for your favorite language. There's no need to be all-or-nothing about this: all contributions are appreciated - there's no need to wait for a moment where you have time to do a full translation. While working on the 1.11 translation, all translations that match those in 1.10 and 1.9 are being copied to those versions by Transifex automatically, so by contributing to 1.11, you also contribute to current release lines. If you don't want to sign up with Transifex: no problem, contact me off-list and we can figure out a way to shepherd your contributions into a release. -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP.
