Title: Which Mondo rescue for SME7
Post by: psoren on February 03, 2006, 12:06:05 AM

Hi,

Can anyone advice me on which Mondo version to use with SME7? I only see Fedora and Red Hat on the Mondo download page, but i don't know which compares to Centos 4.2 from SME7

Title: Mondo Install on SME 7
Post by: mmccarn on February 08, 2006, 07:06:57 AM

I'm running SME 7 alpha 8.  

I used the SME / Mondo howto at http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/contribs/thaynes/E-Smith/mondoarchive/install.htm and followed the instructions for SME 6

looking at my notes, I did some funny stuff with "libnewt"  (I think mondo wanted libnewt.so.0.50 but SME came with libnewt.so.0.51.6.  I have no idea if using "ln" as shown below is appropriate or safe)

I  also seem to have installed lzo using yum after adding the "dries" repository to my yum config ( here's a URL on how to add it, but I think I did it manually: http://smeserver.sourceforge.net/sme70/3rdPartyYumSetup)

My notes about Mondo say:

Mondo 2.04 on SME7:
- rpm -Uvh afio-2.4.6-2.i386.rpm
- rpm -Uvh mindi-1.04-1sme60.i586.rpm
- rpm -Uvh  mondo-2.04-1sme60.i586.rpm
- ln -s /var/lib/libnewt.so.0.50 /var/lib/libnewt.so.0.51.6
- yum install lzo (requires 'dries' repository)

I can run Mondo and have several CDs around -- but I haven't had the courage to nuke my system to see if it really works...

Can you explain a little more about what you did with libnewt.so.0.50?
I'm getting the error message below when trying to run mondo on SME7 pre4


mondoarchive: error while loading shared libraries: libnewt.so.0.50: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


I tried " ln -s /var/lib/libnewt.so.0.50 /var/lib/libnewt.so.0.51.6 "

Thanks,
Rick

Oops! Obviously I made my notes a few days after setting up Mondo!

libnewt.so is in "/usr/lib", not "/var/lib" as my previous instructions assumed.  The instructions *should* have read:

Mondo 2.04 on SME7:
- rpm -Uvh afio-2.4.6-2.i386.rpm
- rpm -Uvh mindi-1.04-1sme60.i586.rpm
- rpm -Uvh  mondo-2.04-1sme60.i586.rpm
- ln -s /usr/lib/libnewt.so.0.50 /usr/lib/libnewt.so.0.51.6
- yum install lzo (requires 'dries' repository)

Sorry for the confustion!

I think your ln comand was backwards.
Below is what installed, I'm going to test a restore this evening.  I'll report back with my results.


rpm -ivh ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/e-smith/6.0/afio-2.4.6-2.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/e-smith/6.0/mindi-1.02-1sme60.i586.rpm
rpm -ivh ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/e-smith/6.0/mondo-2.02-1sme60.i586.rpm
ln -s /usr/lib/libnewt.so.0.51.6 /usr/lib/libnewt.so.0.50

I updated my SME7pre4 to SMErc1 today with not issues.
Ran Mondo
Used panel to backup to PC
Burned Mondo ISO to CD.

Used Darik's Boot & Nuke to wipe my drive.
Inserted New Mondo Disk, it ran and ended
Reboot
Nothing....... :-o  
It's getting late so I'll research and test more tomorrow.
By the way this is only a test box.

d_gerst has posted "mondoinstall.sh" to automatically download and install the latest version of mondo on a SME 7 system.

There may still be some issues with creating the lvm file systems when restoring.

See the thread at [Contrib] MondoRescue on SME 7 (tested successful)! (http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=31628.0) for details.
