Deployment Solution Adlagent Running on Ubuntu
Nelo
October 2nd, 2008
Ubuntu by default creates a symbolic link for "sh" that points to "dash". Modifying the "sh" to point to "bash" will allow the adlagent to install and be configured.
The following are the steps to point "sh" to bash:
- Open a Linux shell in an Ubuntu machine.
- CD to the /bin folder.
- Type "sudo rm sh" without the quotes and press enter.
- Type "sudo ln -s bash sh".
- Finally, execute "sudo ./ altiris-adlagent-x.x-xxx (this is the version of the adlagent).
If everything worked ok you should see the following:
Linux i386 Adding system startup for /etc/init.d/adlagent ... /etc/rc0.d/K20adlagent -> ../init.d/adlagent /etc/rc1.d/K20adlagent -> ../init.d/adlagent /etc/rc6.d/K20adlagent -> ../init.d/adlagent /etc/rc2.d/S88adlagent -> ../init.d/adlagent /etc/rc3.d/S88adlagent -> ../init.d/adlagent /etc/rc4.d/S88adlagent -> ../init.d/adlagent /etc/rc5.d/S88adlagent -> ../init.d/adlagent Please set the networking parameters for ADLAgent by running /opt/altiris/deployment/adlagent/bin/configure. Install Succeeded
Configure adlagent to use multicast or an IP address and the Deployment Solution Console should have the client listed.

Correct syntax
The correct command should be "sudo ./altiris-adlagent-x.x-xxx" and not "sudo ./ altiris-adlagent-x.x-xxx" (without the quotes).
Once you have gone to the "/opt/altiris/deployment/adlagent/bin/" directory, you need to run "sudo ./configure" (without the quotes).
Changing the symbolic link for sh is definately the way to go with this, so thanks for the good article.
The folowing worked for me
The following worked for me using DS version 6.9sp1 and ubuntu 8.04
configure by "sudo /opt/altiris/deployment/adlagent/configure" and then set to auto start by adding "/opt/altiris/deployment/adlagent/bin/debian.init start" (no quotes) to /etc/rc.local or in a custom script in /etc/network/if-up.d
