Re: [tor-relays] Updating arm

[Bill White <etihw.llib@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, Damian, for the background and for the specific guidance.

Ubuntu had me first run this: sudo apt-get python-gtk2 before it would respond to sudo ./install.  But it all worked out and arm 1.4.4 is even better than my previous version.  Thanks for this.

I use putty on Win7 to log into my relay box, and after the arm upgrade I notice that when I resize the putty window the arm displays "go all soft" and display pretty much random bits around the screen.  I've played with putty's session settings and have hit upon "keep the same number of columns and rows when resizing window", which keeps things stable, but doesn't allow me to see more of the excellent dataset arm offers.  I'll contiue to adjust things as I go along.

Thanks for your hard work on arm - it's a real boon to my education and satisfaction with running my Tor relay.

Hi Bill. Unfortunately Ubuntu pulls packages from the Debian
repositories when they cut a new release, then never update them
unless someone specifically requests a backport (both a hassle and
takes a while to catch someone's eye). In short - not at all your
fault, this is a common gotcha. ;)

We have plans afoot to add the tor-arm package to the TorProject deb
repositories which will make it a little easier to upgrade...
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/3391

but until then I'd suggest removing the tor-arm deb, then downloading
the arm tarball and simply running 'sudo ./install' from it.

Let me know if you run into any issues! -Damian
