Dear all,
I would like to know how I could install Eucalytpus 4.2.1 on Ubuntu 14.04.
Thank you in advance for your help.

It's not a supported platform since the software versions and configurations are different between Ubuntu and Redhat and those packages are untested with Eucalyptus as well as the use of rpms not feasible. Also Ubuntu uses systems which Eucalyptus does not yet support. You're asking for a lot of pain trying to get it to work on Ubuntu, best to stick to CentOS or RHEL 6.x if it's available to you.

I wasn't able to set up 4.2.1 on CentOS 6.6 as the instructions from the 4.2.1 Eucalyptus FastStart Guide  as it seemed like there was way more manual configuration than setting up 3.4.2 via the FastStart ISO. 

Here are the instructions for that if you would like to get Eucalyptus 3.4.2 setup. 

1) Download Eucalyptus 3.4.2 FastStart ISO running CentOS Version 6.6 Server Core Minimal 

2) Burn ISO to disk and follow the Eucalyptus 3.4.2 FastStart Guide

This process worked for me and I have 2 servers:
- 1 server running Cloud-In-A-Box (standalone cloud with no other setups required)
- 1 running FrontEnd with 3 nodes attached to the FrontEnd. (multisystem cloud)

If anyone knows of a fast start ISO for 4.2.1, please share as the setup seemed really daunting and complex compared to the 3.4.2. Too bad that 3.4.2 is EOL. 

Please share any additional thoughts or whether anyone has found an ISO with faststart for 4.2.1 like the one shown in link above for 3.4.2.

Just updating this thread....

Seems like CentOS Version 6.7 isn't downloadable anymore via (http://mirrors.mit.edu/centos/6.7/isos/x86_64/)
Here's a fail proof way for you to get Eucalyptus going: 

1) Get CentOS 6.7 minimal ISO via this torrent: http://vault.centos.org/6.7/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.7-x86_64-minimal.torrent
2) yum install wget

For Cloud Controller :  sh eucalyptus-install 
For Node Controller: sh eucalyptus-install --nc 

Up and running within' 20 mins.  

Done!

Most updated notes on this thread: 
Other methods to get it going 

4.3
bash <(curl -Ls eucalyptus.com/install) --nc will get 4.3 (use CentOS 7)

For 4.2.2 (CentOS 6.7 previously installed)
#eucalyptus irc channel 
use git clone, then git checkout euca-4.2
then run the faststart/cloud-in-a-box.sh script manually from there
< mbacchi> that will give you 4.2.2 code
< mike_devops> thx @mbacchi!

4.2.2
Most recent git repo updated: 
git checkout euca-4.2
git pull
cd eucalyptus/faststart/
sh cloud-in-a-box.sh —nc

The new update for 6.8 came out after my thread so yes you are right. It now works on CentOS 6.8.

It's just missing from that particular mirror. You could grab it from one of the others - here, for instance: http://mirror.nsc.liu.se/centos-store/6.7/isos/x86_64/

why ? that garbage hasn't been supported in YEARS ;  

Euca  only runs on Centos/RH-7 

Ubuntu is the biggest piece of shit ever to released.
