just installed bbb-VM-0.8, i get "bbb-conf: command not found"

[omer hameiri]

Hey,

Didnt find anything about this on google, so im guessing its only my problem.

i just installed the latest VM, played it, it promptedme to change my password, which i did, and then - it cant seem to find bbb-conf.

am i doing somthing wrong ? how come cant find it ?

Second, i translated all the strings to hebrew. are they embedded in the vm file ?

thanks,

Omer

Hi Omer,

In

   http://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/BigBlueButtonVM#Requirements

It states

   3. A DHCP Server for the VM to acquire an IP address on boot

    The third requirement is important: the VM must be able to connect 

    to the internet on first bott to update from packages. If the VM cannot 

    connect, it won't be able to finish the setup of BigBlueButton.

Can you login into your VM and confirm it is able to connect to the internet, specifically, can you try

  ping bigbluebutton.org

You should see 

    $ ping bigbluebutton.org

    PING bigbluebutton.org (184.73.201.230): 56 data bytes

    64 bytes from 184.73.201.230: icmp_seq=0 ttl=48 time=28.371 ms

    64 bytes from 184.73.201.230: icmp_seq=1 ttl=48 time=41.748 ms

If you can't reach the internet, then the VM would have been unable to finish the installation of BigBlueButton, which could explain why bbb-conf is not available.  

With the VM, if you can establish a connection to the internet for it (and verify with a ping command as above), you should be able to manually finish the installation of BigBlueButton following the steps from

   http://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/InstallationUbuntu#3.__Install_BigBlueButton

   http://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/BigBlueButtonVM#The_console_gives_an_error_when_booting

Let us know if the above gets you going.  

Regards,... Fred

P.S.  This question isn't related to the development of BigBlueButton; rather, it's a setup.  Please post future setup questions to bigbluebutton-setup.  We monitor all the mailing lists, so it won't affect how quickly you get an answer.

Hey Fred.

thank you for your quick reply.

- The machine did get its DHCP internet connection at startup.

- When i log in to it, i get the BBB welcome screen which i was used to from 0.71 (to launch bigbluebutton, open the following URL:...), Dosent this mean the the installation has finished ?

- I can PING whithout problem..

- apt-get install bigblubutton returns: 

   "E: couldn't find pakage bigbluebutton"

- Sorry for posting on DEV,wont happen again.

- What about my hebrew transtation ? is it in there ?

thanks again,

Omer

Hi Omer,

The problem is on our end: our apt-get repository is off-line.

We'll switch the DNS to another repository and let you know when you can try downloading again.  Look for another e-mail shortly.

Thanks Fred, iv'e been having this problem for a few days now.

please note that before i ran:

# Add the BigBlueButton key
wget http://ubuntu.bigbluebutton.org/bigbluebutton.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -

# Add the BigBlueButton repository URL and ensure the multiverse is enabled
echo "deb http://ubuntu.bigbluebutton.org/lucid_dev_08/ bigbluebutton-lucid main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bigbluebutton.list
echo "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid multiverse" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

the problem was different.

are you sure that the VM has all the most current repositories in it ?

Hi Omer,

We're certain the VM is correct.  The server hosting the repository is currently off-line and we're making sure our back-up site has the latest packages before switching over.

We'll have ubuntu.bigbluebutton.org back on-line shortly.  At that point, we'll post when its ready and you can try the installation again.  Don't worry, if there are more issues preventing you from installing, we'll work through them with you to so you can get a VM setup properly.

Regards,... Fred

Edit /var/www/bigbluebutton/client/conf/locales.xml

Add
<locale code="he_IL" name="Hebrew"/>

Then refresh your browser.

Yes, 2 things:

1. after bbb-conf --clean, it just hangs on:

"Waiting for BigBlueButton to finish starting up (this may take a minute):" 

2. bbb-conf --check shows:

BigBlueButton Server 0.8-beta-4 (888)

is this really the beta ?

or just display error ?

Can you do make sure you have the following

~$ ping ubuntu.bigbluebutton.org

PING ubuntu.bigbluebutton.org (134.117.48.101) 56(84) bytes of data.

64 bytes from 134.117.48.101: icmp_seq=1 ttl=49 time=38.0 ms

And try 

  sudo apt-get update

  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

and try again

 

 sudo bbb-conf --clean

 sudo bbb-conf --check

and let us know the results.

Wait a few moments ... the DNS should update for you.  You can also put in your 

  /etc/hosts 

file

  134.117.48.101  ubuntu.bigbluebutton.org

if you don't want to wait.

Spent all night on this.. I cant seem to get to the problem.

Here is where I am so far.

1) DNS goes to the correct address: PING ubuntu.bigbluebutton.org (134.117.48.101) 56(84) bytes of data.

2) bbb-conf --check shows "beta-4 (888)"  (after update, and dist-upgrade)

3) If i try to bbb-conf --clean, it sets stuck on: "Waiting for BigBlueButton to finish starting up (this may take a minute):"

4) whena client tries to log in, it downloads the flash app, tnd then gets stuck on "connecting to server.................."

Can anyone please help ?

thanks,

Omer

Hi Omer,

Can you do 

  sudo bbb-conf --setip <hostname/IP address>

(you may have already done this, but just to make sure) and try

  sudo bbb-conf --clean

  sudo bbb-conf --check

And if you have a problem, can you post the output of 'sudo bbb-conf --check' to bigbluebutton-setup

    https://groups.google.com/group/bigbluebutton-setup/topics?gvc=2

and we'll pick-up the thread there.

Regards,... Fred
