I think the actual bug is misidentified here, even if the effect is the same:-
If you install gmetad on a virgin machine, it creates /var/lib/ganglia/rrds owned by nobody. If you install ganglia-monitor on a virgin machine it creates /var/lib/ganglia/rrds owned by ganglia If you install gmetad on a machine, then install ganglia-monitor, the later will set the ownership of /var/lib/ganglia/rrds to ganglia. I'm assuming the ownership issue which gmetad has, is a security feature, as it most likely does a chroot jail with, and doesn't want any potential hacker to be able to create files. Changing that, is not the answer. So the issue is that ganglia-monitor should either leave the rrds directory alone, or set it to owned by nobody. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444485 Title: gmetad doesn't start after installation of ganglia-monitor (gmond) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
