[livesupport-dev] 1.0.2-3 on Ubuntu
  • On Ubuntu some problems are left with the current packages.

    Problem description:

    1. Ubuntu uses other path/setup for postgresql. The config files are in
    /etc/postgresql/7.4/main/, already ticketed:
    http://code.campware.org/projects/livesupport/ticket/1561
    2. The postgresql.conf forces to use ssl and avoid using tcpip connections
    3. The postscript ipt is named differently
    4. Ubuntu uses PHP5 as standard version. The control-file does not take care
    to install php5-pgsql



    Manual solution:

    0. Prepere to install LiveSupport
    - First you need to remove comments in front of those lines in
    /etc/apt/sources.list:
    deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy universe
    deb-src http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy universe
    - Add line "deb http://code.campware.org/debian sarge main" to same file
    - If you have good internet connectivity, comment out the cdrom source in
    first line, elsewhere put in the ubuntu cdrom
    - Do an "apt-get update" to retrive lists of additional packages
    - Start installing livesupport with all dependencys by typing "apt-get
    install livesupport-studio"
    This will install all needet packages, but breaks because of above
    problems.

    1.+2.
    open /etc/postgresql/7.4/main/postgresql.conf, add "tcpip_socket=true"
    and comment out "sll = true"
    3. start /etc/init.d/postgresql-7.4 manually
    4. install php5-pgsql: "apt-get install php5-pgsql"

    Last step should complete install of LiveSupport too.

    I tested this with an clean, brand new minimal installation of Ubuntu,
    without any additional package.

    probably the best approach would be to create debs sperately for legacy
    debian and ubuntu...
