Re: [U2] Issue with installing UniVerse on Linux
Thanks for everyones replies with this, I have managed to get it installed, I just removed the c option from the cpio command as suggested in the uv.load script. I also had to make another change, because Ubuntu did not have the /ect/rc.d directory, I had to run the following:- #mkdir /etc/rc.d # ln -s /etc/rc0.d /etc/rc.d/rc0.d # ln -s /etc/rc2.d /etc/rc.d/rc2.d # ln -s /etc/rc3.d /etc/rc.d/rc3.d # ln -s /etc/rc4.d /etc/rc.d/rc4.d # ln -s /etc/rc5.d /etc/rc.d/rc5.d # ln -s /etc/rc6.d /etc/rc.d/rc6.d # ln -s /etc/init.d /etc/rc.d/init.d I have not really used it too much at this stage, however i can get into the Universe admin menus etc...

My guess is that you did not download a complete tar file (maybe something happened during the download) are you using download director to download or manually downloading it?

Contact your IBM support representative. Debian, and by extension Ubuntu, uses a different cpio syntax. I will have to see if I wrote down the change you have to make, but it involves editing the install script and changing the cpio lines. If you can, post what it shows on the cpio line and I'll try to remember the change. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
RE: [U2] Issue with installing UniVerse on Linux
One other point. Have IBM fixed the problem they had with default options on cpio? I know when I installed PE on SuSE ages ago, the SuSE and RH defaults were different and I had to edit the install script. It was one of those toggle issues - where RH was on by default and the switch toggled it off, and SuSE was vice versa or the whole lot was vice versa :-) If IBM haven't explicitly said Ubuntu is supported, this might be the problem - certainly sounds like it, but I would have thought it would have sorted itself out by now ...

RE: [U2] Issue with installing UniVerse on Linux
Fore reference: The cpio difference is in the c option on an extract. By my recollection: RedHat announced (aeons ago) that they were changing c to mean not create whereas previously it had meant create. I think this was to do with POSIX changes but I am not sure. Then - after a gap - they made the change with no new announcement (because it had been announced a long time ago). My recollection may be hazy after this time - but it was definitely the meaning of c on cpio that was reversed. The resolution was to modify the installation script from: cpio -icvdumB to cpio -ivdumB The may be no more than modifying the case statement in uv.load to cater for the response passed back from uname - make it the same as the RedHat Linux case statement which does I believe cater for this. Worth noting: On some systems the response from uname is wholly customisable - it can play merry hell with the installation script sometimes as it tries to work out what on earth we are installing on and defaults to case 1.

Re: [U2] Issue with installing UniVerse on Linux
Thanks for all the responses guys. I will change the cpio command as suggested and see how it goes from there. I assume I just change any line that has the cpio command with a 'c' option i just remove? If that does not work I will post the uv.load script as suggested by Mark.
