Diaspora one time setup script for ubuntu

[hemanth.hm]

Hello all,

Was seeing lot of people facing issues to in set up, including me at
the beginning, so i thought to make a setup script for ubuntu os,
which can be cloned from :

http://github.com/hemanth/futhark/blob/master/diaspora-setup.bash

I have tested it to the max i could, still might not be fool proof, do
try and let me know my flaws.

Thanks for this.

It worked fine for me, except for the missing "rake". A simple "sudo
apt-get install rake" did the trick. Perhaps adding that to the script
would be a good idea.

Hi,

Yes rake should be include but maybe with "sudo gem install rake".

Someone noticed some errors with apt-get.

As seen here :

http://groups.google.com/group/diaspora-dev/browse_thread/thread/c2558731974d82e5#

I can translate this script in french too.

Regars,

Antoine.

Thank you all, for your quick responses.

0. I have added rake install line.
1. Replaced apt-get with aptitude.

Will try by best to do similar script for Debian [[ will install it
soon on VM and try ]] and i cant do it for Mac OS cause i can't
install that on VM :) Please do help me to improve this more.

Here is my french translation :

Hi,

the script don´t work on my Ubuntu 64-bit system. When I click on Run
it in terminal, the terminal open a short time and nothing happens...

What's wrong. Also I have installed rake via sudo apt-get but it don't
work. Now I get the following error in the terminal after bundle exec
thin start: Could not find abstract-1.0.0 in any of the sources.

Has anyone an idea?

Thanks!

[hemanth.hm]

Thanks for the translation will update this in the repo soon :)

[hemanth.hm]

Hey Meisterpropper,

/me is also on 64-bit system here, cd the the path where the script
is and say sudo bash diaspora-setup.bash and please tell me what do
you notice after that.

[meisterpropper]

Now it works fine. Thanks!

[hemanth.hm]

No problem, have fun :)

Hello,
Thank for this script.
A quick feedback, using ubuntu-10.10-beta-desktop-i386 in a virtual
machine (VirtualBox-3.2.8-64453-Win). Very standard installation,
nothing special.

$nano dispora-setup.bash
--> Paste your script
$chmod 777 ./dispora-setup.bash
$sudo bash ./dispora-setup.bash
root has no sudo permissions on this machine

Doing the same without sudo gives me "[mysername] has no sudo
permissions on this machine".
But I do have sudo permissions...

For information:
$id -u
1000
$sudo id -u
0

Best regards,
Alexandre

Hello again,
After removing the line checking for sudo rights, the scripts goes on
for a while, hitting a few problems such as
Err http://downloads.mongodb.org 10.10/10gen i386
Packages
403 Forbidden

...

http://downloads.mongodb.org/distros/ubuntu/dists/10.10/10gen/binary-i386/Packages.gz
403 Forbidden

And a bit later, I face the same problem as when I tried to install
manually, namely:

Installing bcrypt-ruby (2.1.2) with native extensions /usr/local/lib/
site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/installer.rb:483:in `build_extensions': ERROR:
Failed to build gem native extension.
(Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)

http://groups.google.com/group/diaspora-discuss/t/7fbaf5b5523b86c3

I will try again a bit later with a fresh install of the same Ubuntu
version.

Sudo issue was fixed, but yet to pulled to the main branch, get it
from http://github.com/hemanth/diaspora/raw/master/ubuntu-setup.bash

[hemanth.hm]

mongodb is not officially packed for 10.10 yet!

More issues are fixed in
http://github.com/drt24/diaspora/raw/ubuntu/ubuntu-setup.bash
there is a pull request here:
http://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/pull/288 which would put all these
fixes into diaspora/master.

The updated script works around this by using the official ubuntu
version for maverick. Unfortunately there is a critical bug in the
ubuntu version
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mongodb/+bug/557024 (it fails
to start due to packaging issues) and so the script prints out a
workaround in case that bug has not yet been fixed.
The workaround is:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.2.10/libmozjs.so /usr/lib/libmozjs.so

This installs an old version of mongodb but it does appear to work.

Awesome. Ill use this script for the next version of the VM and the
live CD. I hope you dont mind.
Just run the script with sudo permissions correct?

Thanks!
I think my main problem has been with my mongodb install, since it
won't connect anymore. I will yank out the dependencies and try this
instead.

:-D

No just run the script, it uses sudo where root is needed but does some
things as the normal user which should be done as the normal user.

I should probably put some usage information on the script and bail out
if root...

[michael chrisco]

OK sounds good.
Im working on it right now. Should have it done and downloadable
tomorrow. Thanks for the script. Should save me some time.
