[Likewise-open-discuss] Install of Likewise on Edubuntu 7.10

[Paul Webster]

Jerry and all-
I installed LWO but was unsuccessful really getting joined to my AD domain on edubuntu 7.10.  I thought I would give Hardy Heron beta a try since it is not on a production machine.  I am the only user and I belong to the root group.  My thinking was that 8.04 is being built to run LWO from the get go. 

Here is what I put in the terminal and what I got back:
pwebster at pwebster-edubuntu804:~$ sudo chmod a+x /tmp/LikewiseOpen-4.1.0.2773-linux-i386-deb-installer
sudo: unable to resolve host pwebster-edubuntu804
pwebster at pwebster-edubuntu804:~$ sudo /tmp/LikewiseOpen-4.1.0.2773-linux-i386-deb-installer
sudo: unable to resolve host pwebster-edubuntu804


I also just tried the sudo bash command with the same results.

I'm not sure if this is a ubuntu issue or if this is an issue with LWO.  I had thought that LWO was already in Hardy Heron but I don't find evidence of it.

You can become the root user in Ubuntu by running

  $ sudo bash
