Comments on: Installing Openproj on Ubuntu http://sidrit.wordpress.com/2008/10/10/installing-openproj-on-ubuntu/ The Almost-Daily Issue Thu, 24 Dec 2009 11:13:22 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Doug http://sidrit.wordpress.com/2008/10/10/installing-openproj-on-ubuntu/#comment-295 Doug Thu, 03 Dec 2009 01:05:50 +0000 http://sidrit.wordpress.com/?p=232#comment-295 Thanks a lot Sid ... very precise and to the point. Good assistance for anyone trying to install OpenProj on a debian system such as Ubuntu. For those who tried this and it did not work ... remember to install java first since OpenProj is dependent on it. Essentially I had MC's problem listed above. For me I used Synaptic in Ubuntu... just search for Java and install sun-java6-bin. Also, I ran the scripts that were found in the .rpm file (not sure if that made a difference) and I also let alien name the .deb file by using the following ... sudo alien -k --scripts openproj-1.4-2.noarch.rpm If you have used MS Project and are frustrated with the Project Managers in Linux, I think you will be really pleased with OpenProj.

You might want to check the dmesg output or the messages file meanwhile. Right before you do the dpkg action, open another shell and type: tail -f /var/log/messages This will give you live output. Paste that here and we see. Hey there mc.
