Prelude-IDS and Ubuntu 8.10

[max_at_app]

Hi, yesterday I tried to configure an IDS on my Ubuntu 8.10. I get inspiration from this tut based on Gutsy:

http://howtoforge.com/snort-ossec-prelude-on-ubuntu-gutsy-gibbon

I read all tut and realize that the minimal requirements, on Ubuntu 8.10, are mysql, the package prelude-manager and its dependence.

So I begin with

apt-get install prelude-manager

during installation the package keep out more of 4 hours on a Pentium_III-1.3Ghz to generate the cryptography key that it will use to comunicate with the agents (prelude-lml).

Installation was done and I start the server

/etc/init.d/prelude-manager start

I look in the process to see if it was started

ps -fe | grep manager

but I can't see it! So I look in syslog and I found this

tail /var/log/syslog

[...]

Dec 22 02:51:33 ubuntu8 kernel: [36153.392001] prelude-manager[6498]: segfault at 0 ip b7d50d28



My questions are:

1) Are there someone that get prelude-manager installed on Ubuntu 8.10 without any problem?

2) How many time it keep to do the cryptography key and what is your hardware config?

3) If your syslog report some things about prelude, can you post it here?

Thank you to everyone who spend time to help me to understand where I'm going wrong with the installation of this great product.

Have the same issue, my SSH session fell during the key generation; I ran a
sudo apt-get remove --purge prelude-manager
and a
sudo find / -name prelude* |sudo xargs rm -rf

then reinstalled again, but still prelude-manager doesn't start because of the segfault.

A quick question, Prelude vs SNORT or running both applications at once?
