I follow your maual to install Netdisco on Ubuntu 10.10 server.
I looks like running fine. and I can login admin to webpage.
But when I run command netdisco -d 165.204.226.22 or -r to discover new device, The result just show:
n e t d i s c o
————————————————–
No Config file found!

and also when I login to webpage, to discover device, the log is different from command-line, and show:

n e t d i s c o
————————————————–

I found how to upgrade from libsnmp-info-perl 2.01-1 to 2.04-1:

It s pretty simple download the new package here : http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/O/OL/OLIVER/SNMP-Info-2.04.tar.gz

and then proceed to upgrade your package with the following commands::
tar xvfz SNMP-Info-1.x.tar.gz
cd SNMP-Info-1.x
perl Makefile.PL
make install

Regards,

Alex

Your script is no longer working, is there any chance you could update it?

Just wanted to thank you very much for the install.
I didn’t like how the Debian one was packaged, so I went with the src and your instructions.

Thanks,

Charles:
I believe netdisco has had an ubuntu package for a little while now. I do recall having issues with it though, and my focus here was being able to install the latest version from source. Have you had any luck with the package?

Hi Matt,

I just discovered that netdisco is available as package in Ubuntu 10.4. I still have to test it, but it looks like it will be easier to install using apt-get instead of scripting it.
