There is likely a switch to show only "changed" files. Do a man on it.

Well, since I have the very same problem ... the attached .tar includes a directory diff, with subdirectories. For each file in cacti-plugin-arch/files-0.8.7b, I ran sdiff filename /usr/share/cacti/site/filename (this is the default website location for the Ubuntu package). Hoping this will help. I can play guinea pig for any patched patch files.

I'm a better Cisco jockey than Linux guru, but I can follow directions well enough.

Thanks gentlemen for a great piece of OSS.

Month and a half later, any updates or resolution to this Ubuntu error with global.php line 194 hunk?

I made a custom patch for plugin architecture 2.1 / Cacti 0.8.7b on a Debian Lenny system. It solves the global.php patching part on my Debian systems. It might work on Ubuntu too, but in either case you should do a dry run and backup your site/ directory.

After patching, edit the global.php file and add your own plugins (note that thold is enabled)

I only tested the patch on a couple of virtual machine, I will do more testing when I have time.

I ended up just applying the patch using the pre-patched files manually, rather than using the diff to patch the files.
