Moving sage install to Ubuntu 11.10 amd64.

[kbyrd]

I've been running Sage on a 64-bit Ubuntu for a while, most recently 10.10. I decided to upgrade to 11.10. I'm using the same PC with the same NIC so I don't have to worry about the license server. To do the new install, I'm installing 11.10 on a new drive, Sage is untarred/installed on a RAID array. The idea is I can go back and forth between old and new by rebooting until I get the 11.10 up and running.

It seems 11.10 has a new way of dealing with 32-bit packages and I'm trying to find the quick and easy way to get a 32-bit JRE installed so Sage will work. Is anyone running Sage on 64-bit Ubuntu 11.10? What did you do?

I've been running on 11.10 since I built this machine in September (before 11.10 was released).

I don't let Ubuntu manage SageTV's Java. I've seen it try to force the OpenJDK on me 2 too many times. I just install the Sun JRE manually into /opt/jre. Then edit the SageTV startup file (sagesettings) to have this line "export PATH=/opt/jre/bin:$PATH"

That's not a bad idea, I'll try that. But doesn't that just move my problem? Aren't there other 32-bit libs (like libc) that I'll need? I used to install ia32-libs for this. How did you manage that?

The problem is that 32-bit on 64-bit used to either be either easy or impossible, depending on what you were trying to install Recently they've introduced some sort of "mulltiarch" thing that lets you install 32-bit versions of many packages. Now it seems that anything is possible, but everything is confusing. In this new system, rather than saying "apt-get install foo" you say "apt-get install foo:i386" to get the 32-bit version.

I sort of blundered around until it worked. Here's the 32-bit stuff I've currently got installed:

Most of those things are probably totally unneeded for SageTV, but this is also a "work-from-home" desktop for me, and I need other 32-bit stuff to run work related binaries.

Thanks for the list Drew. I've got a minimal install working now. For anyone else who cares, I'll be a bit more verbose.

I had a working SageTV server install on a headless 64-bit Ubuntu 10.10, using an HD300 extender for viewing and server interaction. I record from a couple of HDHRs. OS is on a small drive all under '/'. My sagetv install is on an md RAID array under /opt/sagetv/server.

To upgrade to 64-bit 11.10, I got a new root drive (separate from the old 10.10 and the RAID array) and then installed a minimal (there's an option from the Ubuntu install iso) server install. Doing this on a separate drive let me go back and forth between old and new installs, and let me test the new Ubuntu against an known working sage install. Before running /opt/sage/server/startsage for the first time on the 11.10 install, I made a backup of the whole 'server' directory in case some library problem somehow caused a problem. I wanted a fast way to back out to old configuration.


I downloaded the Sun 32-bit JRE, mine was called jre-6u29-linux-i586.bin. In the end I needed the following 32-bit packages:

• libc6:i386 (duh, any 32-bit app will need this, including the .bin installer for the JRE)
• zlib1g:i386 (libImageLoader.so in the SageTV directory wants this)
• libstdc++6 (libHDHomeRunCapture.so want this, others may not need this)

I added PATH=/opt/java/jre1.6.0_29/bin:$PATH to sagesettings. So far so good. startsage runs, I was able to connect my extender, watch some recordings, some blu-ray rips, some handbrake transcoded (h.264 and AAC) DVDs, and view some photos. I searched sagetv_0.txt for 'ERROR' (that's how I found the set of libs above) and haven't found any. I'll point out that I probably don't need the multimedia libraries because I'm using the extender and there isn't any transcoding going on within Sage. I also tried using the BMT web interface and that worked fine too. I didn't try music because I didn't have that setup before.

The major pieces I need to do next are comskip and to make sure CMT/BMT automagically finds metadata for me. Comskip playback works already, but I need to get WINE up and running on this system for the actual exe to run on new content. IIRC, since Sage is calling out to a new process, doing this all in 64-bit WINE worked just fine before. We'll see.


*UPDATE* WINE installed and Comskip works perfectly. However, I'm now convinced that aptitude on 11.10 is completely busted when it comes to multiarch support. To install WINE, it wanted to uninstall some 64-bit versions of various libraries. `apt-get install wine` did the trick for me, though.

I never use aptitude, but I was having the same issue with apt-get during the release candidate phase. Sometimes I'd ask it to install a 32-bit package, and it would want to switch my entire system to 32-bit. I've stared to pay much closer attention to the proposals that apt-get makes
