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 ...

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/ ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
