1. Select "English"

2. Select "Install Ubuntu Server"

3. Get out of DHCP set up. Manually set the IP info.

4. Wait

5. IF NO OTHER OPERATING SYSTEMS: Erase Disk and Install Ubuntu.

5b. IF OTHER OSes:

  • Select a drive; set to ext3, mountpoint: /, install.
  • Be careful! This install does not understand RAID. See potential pitfalls for more information should you experience issues.

6. Where are you? New York. 7. English, English (US)

8. Your name: Lab - Pick a username: lab - Password: qazzaq - Do not encrypt home folder.

Option for additional software---choose openSSH server.

Restart now.

gdm;*;*;Al0000-2400;cdrom,floppy,plugdev,audio,dip,video
lightdm;*;*;Al0000-2400;cdrom,floppy,plugdev,audio,dip,video
  • Test LDAP authentication - if "id USERNAME" returns with info about the user... all is good. (Maybe)
root@clarke:~# id kmoorman
uid=1129(kmoorman) gid=110(faculty) groups=110(faculty),800(camp),2100(linux)
  • Make sure you can log-in via KDM! See Potential Pitfalls.

Filesystems[edit]

  • apt-get install nfs-common

10.20.3.8:/data/exportfs/classes        /classes        nfs     defaults,rw
10.20.3.8:/data/exportfs/labdata        /labdata        nfs     defaults,rw
  • Log-in to Babbage
  • edit /etc/exports
  • exportfs -a
  • exit
  • ssh root@IP
  • mount -a
  • Ensure the NFS filesystems loaded with "ls /home" "ls /classes" "ls /labdata"

Potential Pitfalls[edit]

  • The machine is frozen while trying to mount something! (Also: GDM freezes on start-up)

- Switch to terminal 1; if it works, then it's a GDM issue. GDM freezes on start up. Fix unknown; use KDM!

  • When logging into an LDAP user on KDM, the log-in screen disappears but no welcome screen appears.

- Purge Plasma-Desktop and reinstall Plasma-Desktop / Kubuntu-Desktop. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2133661

  • I keep getting a "??? ???" error during the initial install, after partitioning the hard drive

- The Ubuntu install does not understand RAID. In order to partition hard drives, you'll need to boot into the live CD (the first option when the installer comes up) and use GParted to partition the hard drive as you want. Reboot and install into whatever partition you like.
