The AG3 packages available here are preliminary releases for testing purposes. They are made on and for the Ubuntu 6.10 release, edgy. These packages are made to install without conlicts with the AG2.4 packages for edgy also installed but since they are a first cut, we'd appreciate receiving feedback about any problems.

Only AG3.0.2 is available for Ubuntu Egdy. Please update to a newer Ubuntu release in order to install the most up to date AG release.

1. Using Synaptic:

Open the Synaptic Package Manager and then the Software Sources window (from the Settings->Repostitories menu) and add the following entry in the Third Party tab of the Software Sources widget:
    deb http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/debian edgy/

Also ensure that the "Universe" repository option is checked selected in the main Ubuntu 6.10 tab.

Close the Software Sources window.

Now reload the package information (use the Reload button, or select Reload Package Information from the Edit menu).

Finally, search for and install the accessgrid3 package. A number of prerequisite packages should also be automatically installed.

2. Using apt-get:

Add the universe section to those associated with your main Ubuntu repository. Do this by editing your /etc/apt/sources.list file so that the line similar to:
    deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy main restricted
becomes
    deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy main restricted universe

  Next, add the following line to the beginning of your /etc/apt/sources.list file:
    deb http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/debian edgy/

Now run:

sudo apt-get update

and then

sudo -H apt-get install accessgrid3

Should be set to go now - log out, then log in again to find "Access Grid 3" entry in the main menu (assuming Gnome desktop).

The AG3 packages for Ubuntu edgy are available separately from the download directory

No known issues - everything works here. Please advise of any problems.

There may be a dependency problem with agtwisted-core; in which case, manually remove the python-twisted-bin and/or python-twisted-core packages

An earlier problem caused by the avahi based service discovery/announcement system not running is fixed as follows:

Please send any comments, advice etc., to Chris Willing <c.willing _at_ uq.edu.au>
