Installing Zenoss on Ubuntu Server 7.10 Gutsy

[dbrower256]

The end of step five says to type the command apt-get update && apt get safe-upgrade, but the ubuntu doesn't like "safe-upgrade". I had to use "upgrade" instead. Why is that? Where did the author get the idea for using "safe-upgrade"?

In the instructions to install Zenoss on Ubuntu 7.04 Server (http://www.zenoss.com/community/docs...on-ubuntu-7.04), these step 8 tells to do the following:

8. Zenoss requires some environment variables to be set, so we need to add them
to the 'zenoss' user's bash startup script. Enter the command:

vim /home/zenoss/.bashrc

And add these lines to the end:

export ZENHOME=/usr/local/zenoss
export PYTHONPATH=$ZENHOME/lib/python
export PATH=$ZENHOME/bin:$PATH

Save the file and close the editor.

Why is this not done in these instructions to install Zenoss on Ubuntu 7.10 Server?

I have installed Zenoss in 7.10, but after I restart I get the message that The Deskbar Applet cannot load, do you want to delete or not delete...

When I check the status of Zenoss, none of the services are running. What did I miss in the setup to cause this?

If all you want is Zenoss installed then it may be worth it to look at http://www.rpath.org/rbuilder/project/zenoss/.
