Hi,
This is a re-post.
Are there any thoughts at all?
It's kinda stupid to get stuck with some perl script and not being able to go
forward.
Is there any way to by pass and get Wizard started?
Thank you.

Conversation: Trouble with "oscar-config --bootstrap"
Subject: [Oscar-users] Trouble with "oscar-config --bootstrap"
Hi folks,
I am having a problem installing oscar for the first time.
I followed the installation guide pretty close, but at the point where I
typed "oscar-config --bootstrap" it got upset.
Here's what I did in nutshell. I got ubuntu 8.0.4 installed on the head and
got both eht0 and eth1 configured as described. Then followed what's on
chapter 3 of the guide. In my case, 3.3.2:
I added
deb http://bison.csm.ornl.gov/repos/debian-4-i386/ etch /
to /etc/apt/sources.list.
Issued:
aptitude update
And
apt-get install oscar
Both of which ended with exit status of 0.
Then, I typed:
oscr-config --supported-distros
Which returned:
ubuntu-8-x86_64 ubuntu-8-i386 debian-4-x86_64 debian-4-i386
redhat-el-5-x86_64 redhat-el-5-i386 centos-5-x86_64 centos-5-i386
I was a bit surprised because the line I added to /etc/apt/sources.list did
not say ubuntu-anything. It said debian-4-i386. Then I issued:
oscar-config --setup-distro ubunto-8-i386
which again finished with exit status of 0. Then it was time for fatal
moment:
oscar-config --bootstrap
returned with exit status of 9. Here are barfing lines:
ERROR: Impossible to get the default repository for ubuntu-804-i386 at
/usr/share/perl5/OSCAR/Bootstrap.pm line 391
ERROR: Impossible to generate the default OSCAR url file (ubuntu-804-i386)
at /usr/share/perl5/OSCAR/Bootstrap.pm line 391
ERROR: Impossible to generate default url files in /tftpboot at
/usr/bin/oscar-config line 93
ERROR: Impossible to complete stage 0 of the bootstrap. at
/usr/bin/oscar-config line 95
main::bootstrap() called at /usr/bin/oscar-config line 331
ERROR: Impossible to bootstrap OSCAR at /usr/bin/oscar-config line 332.
I looked at the file Bootstrap.pm. Lines 391 thru 394 read:
if (OSCAR::PackagePath::generate_default_urlfiles ($distro_id) == -1) {
carp "ERROR: Impossible to generate default url files in /tftpboot";
return undef;
}
There are only 2 files under /tftpboot that are regular file as opposed to
directory or whatever. They are:
/tftpboot/distro/.ubuntu-8-i386.url
And
/tftpboot/oscar/debian-8-i386.url
The first one (minus comments) look like:
http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/+hardy+main+universe+multiverse
And second:
http://bear.csm.ornl.gov/repos/debian-4-i386/+etch+/
I don't know perl well enough to judge if it is upset because of what's in
these files or what's not in these at all.
I am thinking maybe the thing to do is to fix the line I added to
/etc/apt/sources.list file OR reissuing
oscar-config --setup-distro
line with debian-4-i386 (instead of ubuntu-8-i386).
Can somebody please tell me if I am on the right track or about to commit
mortal error?
Also, if I am to do this, what are the things I must undo before I do so?
Obviously I need to reedit sources.list file if I am to do the first option,
but what else?
I would appreciate your sharing thoughts with me.
Thank you.
Regards,
Tena Sakai
