Title: New Zentyal 2.2-1 installer available!
Post by: J. A. Calvo on October 03, 2011, 10:46:28 am

Hi Zentyal users,

The Zentyal Development Team has published a new compilation of packages including all the bugfixes and system updates from Ubuntu since the release of the first 2.2 installer.

There are also two changes in this new installer:

- The 64bit version now uses the server kernel by default instead of the generic one.
- Adds the new secondary packages repository, allowing us to release important bugfixes without waiting until launchpad builds and publishes them.

You can get the ISOs as usual from our Downloads (http://www.zentyal.org/downloads) page.

Note that if you already have Zentyal 2.2 installed, you can apply these changes without need to download this new version.

You can install the server kernel just with the following command:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install linux-server linux-image-server

To add the new repository and import the key, just execute:

Code: [Select]

sudo -s
echo "deb http://archive.zentyal.org/zentyal 2.2 main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
wget -O - http://keys.zentyal.org/zentyal-2.2-archive.asc | apt-key add -

We are still going to use our launchpad PPA (https://launchpad.net/~zentyal/+archive/2.2) as the main repository, but sometimes launchpad is loaded with a lot of jobs and takes several hours or even days to build the packages. In these cases, with this new repository, you'll be able to get your packages on time :)

Hello,

Is there an option to upgrade V1.4 to V2.2.

If not how is it possible to export the users and computer accounts from 1.4 and import them to the new release 2.2.

It is not so easy and takes a lot of work to upgrade an oparational 1.4 system with more than 100 users and +/- 50 computer in a domain.

Best regards,
Ian

An upgrade from 1.4 (hardy based) to 2.2 (lucid based) is not trivial and probably the best is to reinstall. To migrate users and machines on Samba just dump your LDAP database and reimport it back into the new 2.2 install. We have made this to many customers and works fine.
