100 UNO Bounty Offer
FINAL UPDATE: 1:14 AM Thursday, September 25, 2014 Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) : ENDED. BOUNTY WON BY PNOCH. MORE DETAILS COMING SOON.....
I am offering the bounty because I am tired of having to copy all of the content of my thumb drive over every day, and I am impatient. However, if I don't find a solution in a timely manner, I'll give up, and just live with it. So this 100 UNO Bounty expires at:
1:14 AM Thursday, October 2nd, 2014 Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).If no solution is posted before that time, I'll post a message at or near the expiration time above announcing the expiration. Good Luck! I hope that someone can find the solution and win 100 UNO!
END OF UPDATEHey guys!
I have a pressing problem. I have a secure USB thumb drive (DataTraveler 4000) this I use to transfer work files to my home computer, and back. I just bought a Linux laptop from Zareason, and I installed Centos 7 on it, the only Linux distro that I was able to get installed successfully (all other distros gave kernel panic errors, I suspect related to the computer's SSD drive). I actually like Centos 7 A LOT. Everything else works, so trying to switch to another distro is not an option.
Here is my problem:
My previous laptop had Fedora installed, and I used a program called FreeFileSync (
http://sourceforge.net/projects/freefilesync/) to sync my work files between the DataTraveler thumb drive and my laptop. FFS is the only program that I have found that reliably syncs EVERY time on both Windows and Linux systems (I've tried rsync, Unison, etc.) The Opensuse version of FreeFileSync works great on Fedora.
I CANNOT get FreeFileSync to work in Centos 7. I get an error saying that some particular file cannot be found (I think that it was a file related to libpng). I am offering a 100 UNO bounty for anyone who gives me straightforward, easy-to-follow steps to get FreeFileSync working on Centos 7. I DO NOT WANT TO COMPILE FREEFILESYNC FROM THE SOURCE CODE. Searching the forums, it appears that a lot of other people want to get FreeFileSync working on Centos 7, so I would like for us to share the solution with the entire world.
I would prefer one of the two options below:
- Make a (public, so the whole world can see the solution) Youtube video showing a Centos 7 system, and demonstrating all of the steps that it took you to get FreeFileSync 6.9 (or later) working on Centos 7. The Centos 7 system should have epel installed, but I would prefer not to hack the Centos system by making it a "Fedora-ized" system.
- Just as above, the Centos 7 system should be the base desktop install plus the added epel repository. List step-by-step instructions the can be easily replicated to get FreeFileSync 6.9 or later working on Centos 7.
If, Falling Knife gives us the permission to do so (I just him a PM asking for permission) PERMISSION GRANTED. Please post the solution here (either the list or Youtube video) along with your UNO address.
If not, then please post the solution on a blog, website, Pastebin, or some other publicly accessible site along with your UNO address. Once the solution is posted, I will verify that it solves my problem within 24 hours (probably much much less that 24) and I will send out your 100 UNO, Thank you!
