New admin trying to install on Ubuntu Lucid

glibdud — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 18:25:56 GMT

I'm trying my first Diaspora install on an Ubuntu Lucid (10.04 LTS) server, following instructions on the following pages:

https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora...nning-Diaspora
https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora...ling-on-Ubuntu

The instructions appear to target 10.10 or 11.10, so I'm trying the 10.10. The install of the prerequisite packages went ok, but for the next line is says to run:

Code:

wget https://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/r/rubygems/rubygems_1.8.15-1_all.deb -O rubygems.deb && sudo dpkg -i rubygems.deb

When I do that, I get the following:

Code:

dpkg: considering removing rubygems1.8 in favour of rubygems ...

dpkg: no, cannot proceed with removal of rubygems1.8 (--auto-deconfigure will help):

 rubygems depends on rubygems1.8 (= 1.3.5-1ubuntu2)

  rubygems1.8 is to be removed.

dpkg: regarding rubygems.deb containing rubygems:

 rubygems conflicts with rubygems1.8 (<< 1.7.2-1~)

  rubygems1.8 (version 1.3.5-1ubuntu2) is present and installed.

dpkg: error processing rubygems.deb (--install):

 conflicting packages - not installing rubygems

Errors were encountered while processing:

 rubygems.deb

So why do the instructions have you install rubygems via apt-get, and then download and attempt to install a conflicting version? How should this be resolved?

Hi everybody! :)

Yesterday I set up a Diaspora-Server on my Ubuntu (2.6.18-028stab095.1) VPS managed with Plesk 10.4.4. All went well, I had only some problems with modifying the vhost.conf managed by Plesk. But with help from the diaspora irc channel I was able to solve the problems, except one! :( If I connect to the server via webbrowser all sites are "unformatted" like the css were missing. The first hint from the diapspora channel was to use "sudo DB="mysql" bundle exec jammit". So I installed jammit with "sudo gem install jammit" (0.6.5) and ran the command. I got the following errors:

Code:

diaspora@lvps46-163-75-99:/diaspora$ sudo DB="mysql" bundle exec jammit

[sudo] password for diaspora:

Jammit Warning: No assets match 'public/stylesheets/mobile.css'

Jammit Warning: No assets match 'public/stylesheets/rtl.css'

Jammit Warning: No assets match 'public/stylesheets/tags.css'

Jammit Warning: No assets match 'public/stylesheets/hovercard.css'

..and nothing changed. :confused:

I used RVM to install the latest Ruby (ruby 1.9.2p290 (2011-07-09 revision 32553) [x86_64-linux]) and the latest Gems (1.8.15).
Java is installed:

Code:

diaspora@lvps46-163-75-99:/diaspora$ java -version

java version "1.6.0_20"

OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9.10) (6b20-1.9.10-0ubuntu1~10.04.3)

OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode)

Code:

diaspora@lvps46-163-75-99:/diaspora$ which java

/usr/bin/java
