Introduction

1. Adding iFolder Repository

A special repository has been set up with Dapper Drake packages. You need to add this to your repository list.

• Open Synaptic Package Manager (System --> Administration --> Synaptic Package Manager)

• Enter your password when prompted
• Go the Settings menu and choose Repositories
• Click the Add button
• Click on the Custom button

• Enter deb http://trunks.whiprush.org/~jorge/ifolder dapper main as the repository URL

• Press Close
• In the main Synaptic window, press the Refresh button - you must be connected to the Internet to do this. You may receive an error relating to the GPG key for whiprush.org but you can safely click OK and ignore this.

This will download the latest information for the iFolder client.

2. Installing iFolder Client

• In Synaptic (previous step), click search and enter ifolder3 into the search box and click Search

• Right click the package named ifolder3
• In the box that appears, press the Mark button to accept the extra packages
• Press the Apply button in the main Synaptic window which will confirm you are installing 6 packages and press Apply

Synaptic will now download and install the iFolder client for you. Close Synaptic when you are finished.

3. Running iFolder Client

iFolder should be in your Applications menu under Programming. You can just click on iFolder and the client wil start in the notification area (beside the clock).

4. Troubleshooting

If your iFolder client doesn't start, try the following :

• Install the mono-xsp package.

• Update the following symlink :

sudo rm /usr/web/bin/FlaimWrapper.so
sudo sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libFlaimWrapper.so.0 /usr/web/bin/FlaimWrapper.so

5. Warning

The release in the mentioned repository is really ancient. It doesn't work with recent builds of iFolder Server 3.5.
