Ubuntu 12.04 apt-get

[hdejongh]

Hello,

First of all i`m a complete n00b.
i`m trying to install cacti on my new fresh ubuntu 12.04 server.
So i do sudo apt-get install cacti.

It works fine! Except that it installs cacti 0.8.7 and not 0.8.8...
How can i get 0.8.8 installed with apt-get...

thanks!

That's easy. Create an apt repo, download cacti 8.8, compile it and add it to your apt repo. Then, point your server to your apt repo, and voila...

I did the same thing with yum on Redhat. I setup my own yum repo.

Works great!

root@merkur:~# sudo add-apt-repository ppa:paul-climbing/cacti

Hmm, I see the standard text at launchpad is indeed not enough for this to work.

Please find the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cacti (or the actual file that contains the next line) and change

Code: Select all

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/paul-climbing/cacti/ubuntu precise main

to

Code: Select all

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/paul-climbing/cacti/ubuntu quantal main

As cacti does not need to change between most Ubuntu releases, you can install from quantal on all recent Ubuntu's, as far as I know.

thank you, after this change

root@merkur:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/paul-climbing-cacti-precise.list

Please replace it with the previous version of that file. It can be found here.

Sorry, you are right. I should provide a package for precise.
