@ggg great ! it works ! just replace libcurl3 by libcurl4 on config.sh, my installation is done and it work to test. thank !

18.04 is a pretty release so I don’t have any information about it. That said the installer error log could be useful. It would be in the error_logs folder of your fog installer bin folder. E.g /path/to/fogprojec/install/bin/error_logs

[xybar]

I looked in the error log, actually there is a conflict with libcurl3 and libcurl4.

Some packages can not be installed. This can mean
that you asked for the impossible, or, if you use
the unstable distribution, that some packages have not yet
were created or did not come out of Incoming.
The following information should help you resolve the situation:

The following packages contain unmet dependencies:
  libcurl3: Is in conflict with: libcurl4 but 7.58.0-2ubuntu3 will need to be installed
  libcurl4: Is in conflict with: libcurl3 but 7.58.0-2ubuntu2 will need to be installed

to be continued.

I’ve run into the same problem, and see the same error as xybar (conflict with libcurl3 and libcurl4).

[Tom Elliott]

@diggy and it’s specific to Ubuntu 18.04 correct?

[ggg]

replace libcurl3 in …/lib/ubuntu/config.sh ( /path/to/fogprojec/install/lib/ubuntu/config.sh) with libcurl4 and it will work

[xybar]

@ggg great ! it works ! just replace libcurl3 by libcurl4 on config.sh, my installation is done and it work to test. thank !

[Diggy]

@tom-elliott Yes, Tom, it’s specific to Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS.

[Diggy]

@ggg Apologies, this was an upgrade for me from Fog version 1.5.0 to 1.5.2 after upgrading from Ununtu Server 16.04 LTS to Ununtu Server 18.04 LTS. So, for me, in addition to the fix suggested by ggg, I also had to change libcurl3 to libcurl 4 in /opt/fog/.fogsettings. Perhaps this information will be useful to Tom for future build, as well as other users.

So even though this was a great fix – what would you oh great FOG gurus say about officially giving the green light to deploy FOG on 18.04 LTS?

Is it ok or should we still deploy FOG on 16.04 LTS until 18 is fully vetted?

Thanks

I have exact same problem. Brand new Ubuntu 18.04 install.

in the error log from fog install.

[Tom Elliott]

@mike-fahey this is already fixed and will be available for the 1.5.3 push.

@tom-elliott any ETA on push?

[Tom Elliott]

@andythemayor still waiting a bit more information on a few other bugs that were reported. If you’d like to test things as well checkout the working branch and install.

@ggg Hello there, I do not see that path on my end. see image attachment, please.

[Tom Elliott]

@fmaster007 the … translates to the path of your fog installer, not the path on Linux of /lib
