Tiny (resolved) issue.
Hi! I decided to install Amahi on my old laptop which does not have optical drive or even floppy drive, so I had to install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS via Netboot installer.
Ubuntu installation went smooth, but when I tried to run "

Code: Select all

sh install-amahi

", I had the following error message:

"The installer must stop here, sorry. Amahi is only supported on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Please download the latest 12.04 LTS version (e.g. 12.04.1)."

So, in order to successufuly install Amahi, I had to edit the install-amahi script, and replace the following line:

"

Code: Select all

if [ "$VERSION" != "12041" ]; then

" Changed to "

Code: Select all

if [ "$VERSION" != "12042" ]; then

"

So, I decided to post this in case someone gets stuck with the same problem

Can you explain what you mean by 'Netboot installer'?

Hi. I'll try to be as clear as possible, but please forgive me as I'm not a Linux expert.
As I mentioned, my old laptop doesn´t have a working optical drive and it doesn't boot from USB either, so in order to install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, I had to boot from network and install Ubuntu via network installer (https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installat ... -tftp.html) using this image http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ ... s/netboot/

Issuing

Code: Select all

cat /etc/issue

on my freshly installed Ubuntu, returned 12.04.2 making the install script unable to run. So I had to changed it.

Understand. Most do USB install, so this is something I had not thought about for those with no CD/DVD drive. Glad it worked.
