Dear all,
We wish to inform about the new release of LibLiveCD version 1.4. The
current version of CD is made available on
http://sourceforge.net/projects/liblivecd/files/Version-1.4/
LibLiveCD contains lUbuntu 12.04 LTS, DSpace-3.1, Koha-3.10.4 &
Drupal-7.20.
The main reason for bringing out new version of liblivecd is, Koha is
installed through ubuntu packages which will allow users to upgrade Koha
with just two commands such as "apt-get update" & "apt-get upgrade". The
web installation part of Koha is as well pre configured in the CD. Koha
can directly be run by logging into 'kohaadmin' once the installation of CD
is carried out. There is no need to run web installation part now.
Along with DSpace, Koha & Drupal the CD also contains following server
related software pre installed and pre configured such as:-
Apache2 Web Server, OpenSSH Server, VSFTP Server, MySQL Server, PostGreSQL
Server, Dovecot/Exim4 Mail Server, SquirrelMail Web Mail Client and Minimum
desktop environment.
To input multilingual data in DSpace/Koha, IBUS input method is installed
on the CD. Abiword for editing/reading word documents, gnumeric for using
spread sheets, vim/gedit for text editing and epdfview/Foxit for reading
PDF files.
Openoffice/Libreoffice and multimedia related software are excluded
from the CD and these can easily be installed by running
"System Tools-Synaptic Package Manager". If the synaptic “reload”
does not work try changing repositories links to
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu http://archives.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
instead of http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
http://in.archives.ubuntu.com/ubuntu and then search and install any
other software required.
lUbuntu operating system (Lightweight Operating System) is chosen
considering requirements from libraries where libraries have low
configuration desktops in their libraries but still wish to initiate
their library web sites, complete library automation as well as wish
to create
digital libraries.
Please follow proper installation steps to install livecd if you wish
to have dual boot i.e. windows as well as linux installation on your
machines.
If you are installing livecd on a machine which is running under proxy
and if you are unable to browse Internet then on every boot you will
have to manually set current date and time. To set current date and
time run the following command on every boot to set systems current
date and
time.
root@localhost:date -s "09 MAY 2013 21:43:00"
Please change current date and time as above so that machines behind
proxies can run Internet successfully.
We would greatly appreciate your valuable feedback.
