Installation and Upgrades / A fresh install, what happened, and a printer problem
« on: June 14, 2010, 11:32:34 pm »
I just installed Ubuntu Server 10.04 and eBox 1.5.
Before trying eBox, I used to run a server with no gui, but eventually got tired of having to look up commands every time I needed to change something and decided to try out eBox.
The problem was that the eBox version was older than the version I was running at the moment, and a couple of the programs I needed could not be run reliable on that old version. Especially apt-cacher ng is a program that any house or office with more than one Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu system should use! If you don't run it, install it now!
I found an alternative way of doing that part and installed eBox 1.4.x. A couple of weeks ago I decided to give the upgrade from 8.04/1.4.2 to 10.04/1.5 a try. While this worked for somethings, there were problems that I did not get any real responses to here in the forum, so I swapped the system drive and did a fresh install of 10.04/1.5.
I would say there is a good reason for doing exactly this - LVM. A lot has changed between 8.04 and 10.04 and LVM is a good enough reason to do a complete re-install. I think for the future, it would be good if eBox came with a migration tool that exported all settings, incl. LDAP if you are running the master on your server. And then, of course, just import the whole thing on a fresh server.
So far, almost everything is working well. There are a couple of logical things that could be explained better, but actually only one real problem so far.
Printing.
Brother HL-1070 - both USB and parallell.
It was only working on parallell on 1.4.2, but on 1.5 I can not get it to work on either.
What is the status of the printer sharing in 1.5?
I can install the printer. It seems like I can connect to it from my Kubuntu laptop. BUT -
Nothing ends up in the printer jobs queue. Not even the test print made through the web interface of eBox.
I hope someone will take the time to communicate a little with me regarding the printer so I know if I should file a bug. :-)

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Upgrade from eBox 1.4.x to 1.5.x

As I have a couple of extra system drives for this computer, I decided to use a different drive and install a fresh Ubuntu Server 10.04 plus the 1.5 packages. I will start a different thread about it.
