eBox on Ubuntu 10.04

[Yizi]

I'm trying to install eBox on Ubuntu 10.04 server and facing package problem:

I followed the installation like this:

• Added the deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ebox/1.5/ubuntu lucid main to /etc/apt/sources.list
• Then updated the list like this apt-get update
• Then used this line to install the package apt-get install ebox-infrastructure
• I got this error in return Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree       
  Reading state information... Done
  E: Couldn't find package ebox-office

1.5 isn't finished yet so not all modules are available...

eBox is already listed in the Ubuntu Repositories so I don't think you need to add any PPA to install.   Just make sure you've enabled 3rd party repositories in Synaptic.

On Ubuntu 10.04 the repositories already have the following modules listed as installable:

• ebox
  ebox-samba
  ebox-usersandgroups
  ebox-openvpn
  ebox-dns
  ebox-ntp
  ebox-dhcp
  ebox-squid
  ebox-objects
  libebox
  ebox-firewall
  ebox-printers
  ebox-network
  ebox-ca
  ebox-services

I'm new to eBox so my question is this.

In all of the online documentation they talk about using the eBox Installer CD *and* that you would be presented with several eBox "role" choices.

The menu box/choices do NOT happen when installing from the repositories!

So my question is this...
Does anyone know which of the above modules are required to implement the equivalent of the eBox "Office" role?

I found in another post the following statement:

you may install those packages related to ebox-office profile if you don't want to use the console to do so. They are: ebox-antivirus, ebox-ebackup, ebox-egroupware, ebox-monitor, ebox-printers and ebox-samba.

However, the Ubuntu Repositories list none of those "names" except "ebox-samba" and "ebox-printers".

So I am assuming that the Ubuntu Repositories have modules names from a newer release of eBox than the online documentation

From the list of modules in the Ubuntu 10.04 repositories WHICH ones are required to make an "office" role equivalent.

Thanks in advance.

This is why you need to add the PPAs. If you did you would get the latest versions of the packages you listed AND the additional packages that have been released since 10.04 came out (like mail, jabber etc).

Since 1.5 is a beta release not all the most recent work is available in the main repositories. In fact 1.5 is never going to be fully released as it's a transitional version getting ready for 2.0 in a month or so.

I don't know exactly which packages are part of the official "office role" but it doesn't really matter. Just install what you want. If you want filesharing... install ebox-samba; if you want vpns install ebox-openvpn etc. Any dependencies like ebox-usersandgroups will be installed automatically.

Some of the dependent modules are counter-intuitive. it would be helpful to have a tree showing what the module dependencies are; so those of us who are expecting one simple little module don't freak out if we see 30 dependent modules automatically added.

Those of us wanting a simple file server looking to install "ebox-office" are expecting 7 modules: ebox-samba, ebox-printers, ebox-egroupware, ebox-antivirus, ebox-ebackup, ebox-software, ebox-monitor.

If all one wants is to have simple file sharing (samba) and backup (ebackup) with the ability to manage the server from a client web browser, I find that these modules end up getting installed: 
Users and Groups, Certification Authority, Web Server, Backup, Network Services, Antivirus, Firewall, Network Objects, Mail Service, Monitor, VPN Service, Control Center Client, FTP, Network Configuration, File Sharing

As far as I know, none of the 1.5 packages are available in the Ubuntu 10.04 repos.

The 1.5 packages are beta software for the upcoming 2.0 release and is not for use on production servers. If you do not want to use the ISO installer that now is available, you have to use the ppa.
