You can install the GNOME desktop, which the Ubuntu desktop is based on, by running (as root):
yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop" "Graphical Administration Tools" You will then have to log out, click the rivendell audio user and the little settings button (session menu) and change the session to GNOME. Gnome is usually the default in Centos, but in rivendell workstations typically you want as light (a load) desktop as possible, as RD should have as many of the resources as possible, so the Rivendell installer installs the lightweight XFCE instead (i.e. the xubuntu interface). The message about the incident being reported means that it will have sent mail to the root user account on that machine. In that way, it was reported, but nobody will ever read it unless you really want to. In an enterprise Limix environment, this would probably result in IT Administrators being emailed or otherwise informed. When you run rdadmin in the terminal, could you copy and paste the output and send it to this list? Could you also give the output of 'service status rivendell'?

I started with the very clear help instructions from Jonathan at Radio Tools (he insists on Ubuntu 14.4 and no updates). http://radiotools.uk/rivendell/ That all ended up working fine, except that no matter what I did within RD, I couldn't populate the clock grid beyound 50% of the week. That is, when I selected same clock 24/7, it would only add them from 00-01 Sun to 11-12 Wed. No matter what I tried, it never saved any clock for the second half of the week. This was annoying, because I'd mastered the install, events, clocks, bulk import of music and everything else, but I couldn't test a log because of the clock grid issue (I didn't know about this forum at the time). In desperation, I gave up and tried Tech Whisperer's very well written 2014 guide (also Ubuntu, but the latest version): https://tecwhisperer.com/install-rivendell-automation-part-1-system-preparation/ which is updated from James Harrison's 2011 guide at Talk Unafraid: http://www.talkunafraid.co.uk/2011/02/installing-rivendell-on-ubuntu/ . That also ran into the buffers with "E: Unable to locate package rivendell". After John's original help here, I installed Rivendell 2.19 on CentOS7 as per Fred Gleason's instructions: http://static.paravelsystems.com/rivendell-install/rivendell-install-rhel7.html I do find the CentOS GUI very unattractive and 'nerdy', which is why I had tried to stick with Ubuntu, but no matter what I do now, I now just get the message "Missing daemons. Unable to start Rivendell daemons". Buffers again. (BTW: when I originally said 'full of ads', I you are right in that was referring to links to paid Rivendell support (as you say, phone and logo). I just wasn't expecting that, and then the Terminal window response "this incident will be reported" when I made an error may be a joke, but it puts the wind up you when you are a Linux nooby! So I'm easy with that now I know - sorry if I over-stated.)

It be nice if he could post the website where he downloaded the software.

You'll need to change the IP address defined to Rivendell for each of your workstations. Rivendell keeps this data in its database, and you manage it using "Manage Hosts" function in RDAdmin. IIRC, if they don't match reality various problems occur when try you to work with cuts. However, the rest of Rivendell works OK -- including RDAdmin. Once you get your new system set up, use RDAdmin on any workstation to modify the IP addresses for each of the Rivendell "hosts" (workstations). Restart Rivendell daemons on all systems and you should be all set.

To do so, I'd build servers on one IP subnet, then deploy on another. Changing IP's in Linux is easy enough, but what about the server/workstation definitions within Rivendell? Would that be a matter of just re-ip'ing the devices, move them to their new network, and turn them on? Or do I need to get into the SQL database and update values there? Can I build the systems with hostnames instead and then just change the DNS entries?
