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?
Also make sure that tmp has enough free space (this would be the first thing I would check) that may be why cpio stops (full file system) Dougc _________________________________ Doug Chanco Engineer Developer Senior, TLOTLD Activant Solutions Inc.(tm) Austin, Texas 78746 T: 800-678-5426 F: 512-278-5915 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web site: www.activant.com _________________________________ > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-u2- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Trevor McNamara > Sent: Monday, July 09, 2007 7:21 PM > To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > Subject: [U2] Issue with installing UniVerse on Linux > > Hi, > > I'm having some issues with installing UniVerse on an Ubuntu machine. > > I have everything in the /tmp/uv directory, so the listing is like this:- > > CONNPL > CVTB > DEVELOP > DOC > FILESIZE > GCI > IC > JDBC > MAIN > NETWORK > NLS > OBJ > PORTING > QA > STARTUPUCI > UOJ > UVODBC > uv.load > > When I run ./uv.load it runs, i select option 1 (Install as root), then it > prompts for the settings, which i change option 4 and 5 to /tmp/uv > So looks like this:- > _________________________________ > UniVerse Installation Options > > The current settings of the available options are: > > UniVerse installer : root > UniVerse administrator: root uid=0 gid=0 > > 1) UniVerse home directory: /usr/ibm/uv > (currently: Not Installed.) > 2) UniVerse-UniData shared directory: /usr/ibm/unishared > (currently: Not Installed.) > 3) Compile terminfo definitions: true > 4) Rewind tape name /tmp/uv > 5) No-rewind tape name /tmp/uv > 6) Long File Names OFF > _________________________________ > > When i press enter to begin installing it comes up with the following:- > _________________________________ > User uvsql will inherit ownership of the SQL catalog. > Downloading from /tmp/uv to /usr/ibm/uv > > Now loading uniVerse from the install media... > > cpio: premature end of file > Unable to read installation media. > Contact your IBM support representative. > _________________________________ > > > I have created the uvsql and uvadm users. > I have also tried burning it all to cd and running it from there, which > produced the same results? > > Anyone got any ideas? > > Thanks > Trev > ------- > u2-users mailing list > u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
