trouble adding amahi repo, anaconda crash F12/64bit

[koffie]

Hi, maybe someone could help me out. Please! please! please!

I'm not entirely new to Linux, but no pro by any means, far from it.

System: ION POV mobo with 3 sata hard disks, one 160Gb and one 1Tb in the system, and another 1Tb for backup. Nothing special. I have NO DVD/CD player installed.
Used to run 4.2, installed flawlessly from USB stick (DVD iso, followed http://galder.zamarreno.com/?p=244)

Right, I decided to upgrade to 5.0. I took out the backup disk with all my valuable data/music/pictures so I would not mess up. So the system now has 160Gb plus 1Tb.
I ran the Fedora 12 installer (64 bit), I followed the disk setup that Fedora proposed: a separate /boot partition on my 160Gb disk, and a LVM root partition spanning the rest of the free space. Everything went OK up to the point where I tried adding the Amahi repository. When clicking the OK button, the Fedora installer reported an exception had happened, probably caused by a bug. I had no other option but to reboot.

Second try: I installed again without adding the Amahi Repo. But I changed the default localhost.localdomain to Server1. Then I followed the "self-install-existing AMAHI" to install Amahi on the system. Yes I did it with root privileges (su -). Everything went smooth until I tried to connect to "localhost:2000" Firefox said: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:2000. Bummer.
I read somewhere in the bug reports that it was a bug and one should keep the localhost.localdomain at default.

Third try: I installed as above but this time I kept localhost.localdomain. But again Firefox could not establish a connection to localhost:2000. I'm stuck.

I looked if I could find an error log but the amahi webinstaller was actually installed fine, no error messages, and the service is up and running. I also looked at the Troubleshooting the amahi 5.0 installer-post, and looked for /tmp/amahi-ruby-installer.log: does not exist.

So I figured The webinstaller is ready to go but I can't figure out what is wrong.

Also, If someone knows why I get the exception error when adding the amahi repo during the fedora installation, please come forward. I searched google but could not find why. I may have not looked hard enough....

Thanks in advance,
J-W

Same problems here, couldn't also add repo during installation (anaconda crashed), so followed the self-install-method, but also here the http://localhost:2000 gives me ' unable to connect' message in firefox.

So help needed please

Update: after installing the latest updates for fedora 12, the web-installer suddenly worked. Maybe some dependencies where missing earlier.

[cpg]

hmmm, we need to track this down ...

we're firing in all cylinders right now, so if you get this issue, please help us find why the installer does not work. as root:

Code: Select all

amahi-installer

also, check /tmp/amahi-ruby-installer.log

M2Mark,

Thanks for posting. I have installed all (284?) upgrades that Fedora had available after install, and now the webinstaller is accessible @ localhost:2000. They/we only have to figure out which one was responsible.....

So for the record:
I installed F12 without adding the repo, then opened terminal and went root :

Code: Select all

$ su - # rpm -Uvh http://f12.amahi.org/noarch/hda-release-1.0-1.noarch.rpm # rpm -Uvh --nodeps http://f12.amahi.org/x86_64/hdactl-2.46-1.x86_64.rpm # rpm -Uvh --nodeps http://f12.amahi.org/noarch/hda-platform-4.4-7.noarch.rpm # service amahi-installer start

No connection to localhost:2000
Installed 284 updates
Got connection to localhost:2000

cpg, FYI:

Code: Select all

# cat: /tmp/amahi-ruby-installer.log: No such file or directory

cheers

i think what happened here was that there are probably some missing dependencies and the yum update took care of that.

i started a base f12 install to test with the "self install from existing" method ... and got sidetracked.

need to finish that ...

i think there are alot of dependencies that a bare system won't cope with. if you try to strip the system down to bare minimum after the install, amahi tends to get removed.
no idea why you got the issue as all i did was untick office and productivity and continued.
