GmailFS how to for Ubuntu 5.10

[rayTerrace]

Mount it once with this command

mount.gmailfs "/usr/local/bin/libgmail.py" YOUR/MOUNT/POINT/ -o username=YOUR_ACTUAL_USERNAME,password=YOUR_ACTUAL _PASSWORD,fsname=zOlRRa

When I try to mount it I get the following message

bash: mount.gmailfs: command not found

[misiek2000]

after type this:

misiek@zlom:/mnt/gmail$ mount.gmailfs "/usr/local/bin/libgmail.py" /mnt/gmail/ -o username=*****,password=******,fsname=zOlRRa

i have that:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/mount.gmailfs", line 155, in ?
    pyfile, mountpoint, namedOptions, useEncfs = parseCommandLineArgs(sys.argv[1:])
  File "/usr/local/bin/mount.gmailfs", line 67, in parseCommandLineArgs
    log.error("file %s doesn't exist, or is not a file" % pyfile)
NameError: global name 'log' is not defined

what i must do with this ?;/

I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/sbin/mount.gmailfs", line 164, in ?
    main(mountpoint, namedOptions, useEncfs)
  File "/sbin/mount.gmailfs", line 90, in main
    gmailfs.main(mountpoint, namedOptions)
  File "/usr/local/bin/gmailfs.py", line 1133, in main
    server.main()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/fuse.py", line 115, in main
    apply(main, (), d)
TypeError: argument 21 must be string, not None

Frustrating errors

[willhurt]

me too, im getting:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/mount.gmailfs", line 159, in ?
    import gmailfs
  File "/usr/local/bin/gmailfs.py", line 20, in ?
    from fuse import Fuse
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/fuse.py", line 68
    self.mountpoint = /media/gdrive/

[ZavezPasVu]

I get exactly the same error than misiek2000.

mount.gmailfs "/usr/local/bin/libgmail.py" /media/gmail -o username=******,password=******,fsname=zOlRRa
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/mount.gmailfs", line 153, in ?
    pyfile, mountpoint, odata, useEncfs = parseCommandLineArgs(sys.argv[1:])
  File "/usr/bin/mount.gmailfs", line 66, in parseCommandLineArgs
    log.error("file %s doesn't exist, or is not a file" % pyfile)
NameError: global name 'log' is not defined

I'm using Dapper, Fuse seems OK.
Is there any solution found since April?

the log error i fixed by moving gmailfs.py to /usr/local/bin/

or you can look at mount.gmailfs and its like line 8 default_gmailfs_location, modify that to where ever you want gmailfs.py to reside.

Although, I'm getting the same error as franke:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/mount.gmailfs", line 165, in ?
    main(mountpoint, namedOptions, useEncfs)
  File "/usr/bin/mount.gmailfs", line 91, in main
    gmailfs.main(mountpoint, namedOptions)
  File "/usr/local/bin/gmailfs.py", line 1133, in main
    server.main()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/fuse.py", line 115, in main
    apply(main, (), d)

I am also getting this exact error. any help would be appreciated.

I am also getting this exact error. any help would be appreciated.

I was getting that error to and it was because I was using the wrong path to the file libgmail.py.

In the command

mount.gmailfs "/usr/local/bin/libgmail.py" /media/gmail -o username=******,password=******,fsname=zOlRRa

Is /usr/local/bin really where you put libgmail.py? Or did you (like me) put it in /usr/local/bin/libgmail-0.1.4? If you just copied the folder libgmail-0.1.4 to /usr/local/bin, then you did the second. So your mount command should be

mount.gmailfs "/usr/local/bin/libgmail-0.1.4/libgmail.py" /media/gmail -o username=******,password=******,fsname=zOlRRa

Many thanks to Prospero on the procedure to follow, and to Andrew S. for the pointer on correct file address.

I've gone through this twice by now, removing everything and reinstalling. Realize this is not the cleverest way, but just don't know better yet.

When I get to the mount.gmailfs command, I always get the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/sbin/mount.gmailfs", line 159, in ?
    import gmailfs
ImportError: No module named gmailfs

There *is* an /sbin/mount.gmailfs file, and I have no idea what is meant by 'No module named gmailfs"...

What can I do?

Thanks,
Jackn

Hroit,

You're most likely missing gmailfs.py. I put mine under /usr/local/bin
