Ubuntu – How to install ntpstat on Ubuntu

ntpUbuntu

I'm running Ubuntu server 10.04 64-bit.

What I've tried:

apt-get. doesn't know of it.
downloading rpm from here and converting with alien

dpkg-gencontrol: error: current host architecture 'amd64' does not appear in package's architecture list (i386)

Best Answer

not a very good way, but it will do:

download the source rpm
rpm2cpio ntpstat-0.2-1.src.rpm | cpio -idmv
unpack the tgz
make && make install

but this is such a small utility, maybe save yourselve the hassle and use another tool that comes with ubuntu.

Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Server — apt-get install commands fail

Your /etc/interfaces file looks fine, and since you managed to run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade successfully, this indicates that your network config is good.

As to why you can't install GNOME, the package is called gnome-desktop-environment rather than ubuntu-desktop. You may want to opt for gnome-core instead, which contains less bloat than the full blown desktop environment would.

If that doesn't work, please could you edit your original question to include the error text from apt-get.

Edit 1
Since you're getting package not found for everything, check out /etc/apt/sources.list and check the repositories for universe and multiverse aren't commented out (i.e have a # at the beginning of the line). If they are, remove the # and try again.

Edit 2
For the key error, try the following command sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 16126D3A3E5C1192. (Source)

Linux – Upgrade the Ubuntu puppet package within kickstart process

I've never kickstarted ubuntu but I use it for centos/rhel. Why are you installing the base puppet package at all? I add my local yum repo for puppet (and epel) to the install process as part of the main kickstart script. Eg.

repo --name=local --baseurl=http://...

I then have the %post section launch puppet, which handles configuring all the yum repos I'd like to use by installing the proper rpms for them (eg., epel-release).

I have also had kickstart just install the old epel version (0.25.x) and then have puppet-client module manage upgrading the client to 2.6.x.
