We've updated our 10 minute installation video to show how to install packages from our new Medsphere.org apt repository on Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic).

 

 

 

 

This updated screencast has most of the same information as the previous one, so if you haven't seen the previous one, you can just watch this one.

 

The screencast includes background information on where to download the various files and what the packages and scripts do under-the-hood, but the installation itself only takes about 10 minutes if you have a fast Internet connection.  You may want to play the video in fullscreen mode to see the text more clearly.

It looks like the video gets a little garbled at 8:12 -- there's a listing of the same etc directory at 10:12.

Really nice John.  Definely saves alot of time.  I guess the next steps are to bundle up GTM and set the config (nv pair etc) automatically?

Feb 6, 2010 1:20 PM Jonathan Tai Jonathan Tai    says in response to Richard Braman:

I'm not sure what you mean by bundle up GTM and the nv pair.  In a future release of OpenVista Server, we'll be removing the need to manually configure the box-volume pair in TaskMan (see this bug), but other than that, GT.M is already packaged.

when i tried that

 

sudo ovinstanceadd open

 

then, error

 

ovinstanceadd: Unable to create database files

 

how do i check and fix ?

Mar 8, 2010 10:23 AM Jonathan Tai Jonathan Tai    says in response to bryan:

Bryan -- it's odd that ovinstanceadd would encounter that error.  My first thought is that you may be out of disk space, but ovinstanceadd does a number of things before that should require at least a little bit of free disk (like creating directories), so unless you were very very close to running out of space and the new directories and small files put you over the edge, that probably isn't the issue.

 

The mupip command used to create the database files should have logged its output to /var/log/messages.  Is there anything in that log file that might give us a better clue as to what's going on?

Mar 8, 2010 10:27 AM bryan bryan    says in response to Jonathan Tai:

Hi jon, Thanks to fast replay ;-)

 

in the /var/log/messages

 

/usr/sbin/ovinstanceadd: line 219: /opt/openvista/open/gtm/mupip: Permission denied

 

thanks a lot.

Mar 8, 2010 10:42 AM Jonathan Tai Jonathan Tai    says in response to bryan:

I'm not sure what's going on -- if you're using sudo to run ovinstanceadd, it should be running as root and thus have no problems with permissions.  Can you give more background about your system?   Did you install GT.M from our packages?  Have you modified or customized anything?  Are you running on a platform other than RHEL, CentOS, or Ubuntu?

 

Also -- since this is getting kind of long, would you mind starting a discussion for this?

Mar 8, 2010 10:54 AM bryan bryan    says in response to Jonathan Tai:

yep, i reply on new discussion ;-)
