Installation
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 gutsy/
Also ensure that the "Universe" repository option is checked selected in the main Ubuntu 7.10 tab.
Close the Software Sources window.
Now reload the package information (use the Reload button, or select Reload Package Information from the Edit menu).
deb http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/debian gutsy/
Also ensure that the "Universe" repository option is checked selected in the main Ubuntu 7.10 tab.
Close the Software Sources window.
Now reload the package information (use the Reload button, or select Reload Package Information from the Edit menu).
*** Please note *** if upgrading from a 3.1-cvs version, please remove it, then reload the package information again. This will make the 3.1-1 release visible!
Finally, search for and
install the accessgrid3.1
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/ gutsy main restricted
becomes
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy 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 gutsy/
If upgrading from a 3.1-cvs version, remove it with:
deb http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/debian gutsy/
If upgrading from a 3.1-cvs version, remove it with:
sudo
apt-get remove accessgrid3.1
Now run:
sudo apt-get update
and then
sudo -H apt-get install accessgrid3.1
(Please note the -H option for the sudo command)
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).

Issues
Please advise of any problems.
Shared Presentation not working (problem importing uno module).
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:
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:
edit /etc/default/avahi-daemon and set
AVAHI_DAEMON_START=1 ('twas previously =0 on my system so avahi wasn't
ever actually starting). Now run:
sudo /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start
On subsequent reboots avahi should
start automatically.
Please send any comments, advice etc.,
