Ticket #1561

Problem: Postgresql files are in strange places.

• the init script is called postgresql-7.4 instead of postgresql
• the config files are in /etc/postgresql/7.4/main instead of /etc/postgresql

Solution: make a soft link postgresql -> postgresql-7.4 in /etc/init.d, and edit the two config files postgresql.conf and pg_hba.conf in /etc/postgresql/7.4/main as described in the documentation.

Problem: The php_pgsql.so issue (see #756) happens here, too.

Solution: See the (Wed Nov 9 21:34:24 2005: Modified by [email protected]) entry at #756.

(Not specifically a breezy issue.)

Problem: the initial values of the audio devices in Studio are "/dev/dsp1" and "/dev/dsp2". If the computer does not have 3 sound cards, this will lead to a crash.

Solution: edit /opt/livesupport/etc/gLiveSupport.xml, and replace both device names with "/dev/dsp". Note that this will only work if you have Alsa installed, plus Alsa OSS emulation. (Plain OSS does not allow several players to share the same device.)

Sebastian sez:

Problem description:

1. Ubuntu uses other path/setup for postgresql. The config files are in /etc/postgresql/7.4/main/
2. The postgresql.conf forces to use ssl and avoid using tcpip connections
3. The postgresql startup script is named differently
4. Ubuntu uses PHP5 as standard version. The control-file does not take care to install php5-pgsql

Manual solution:

0. Prepare to install LiveSupport

• First you need to remove comments in front of these lines in /etc/apt/sources.list:

  deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy universe
  deb-src http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy universe
  

• Add the line

  deb https://www.campware.org/debian sarge main
  

to the same file

• If you have good internet connectivity, comment out the cdrom source in first line; if you don't, put in the ubuntu cdrom
• Do an "apt-get update" to retrieve the list of additional packages
• Start installing livesupport with all dependencies by typing "apt-get install livesupport-studio"

This will install all needed packages, but breaks because of above problems.

1.-2. Open /etc/postgresql/7.4/main/postgresql.conf, add "tcpip_socket=true" and comment out "sll = true"

3. start /etc/init.d/postgresql-7.4 manually

4. install php5-pgsql: "apt-get install php5-pgsql"

Last step should complete install of LiveSupport too.

I tested this with an clean, brand new minimal installation of Ubuntu, without any additional package.

[you can also use synaptic instead of the apt-get commands -- ferenc]

I would like to add to this post that the Postgresql problem you mention 
there is on Debian distributions too. I followed all the steps to change 
the configuration file and seems to work well.

[this refers to Debian testing/unstable; so ubuntu inherited it from there -- ferenc]

With Boost ill get

skipping Boost.Python library build due to missing or incorrect configuration, couldn't find Python.h in "/usr/local/include/python2.2". Its in /usr/include and version 2.4

and

tmp/boost_1_31_0/boost/config/compiler/gcc.hpp:92:7: warning: #warning "Unknown compiler version - please run the configure tests and report the results"

About skipping Boost.Python library build, found --with-python-root[=PYTHON_ROOT] and --with-python-version[=2.4] but more or less got to do with a old version of lib boost.

fransman: that's totally OK, you'll get these warnings on other distros as well (and we don't use python anyway)
