Something to watch out for on Ubuntu. During the 7.x series they changed the default shell from bash to dash. dash is not bash and scripts that require bash functionality and do not specify '#!/bin/bash' at the top of the script will fail in wild and wonderful ways.
Personally, the first thing I do after a new Ubuntu install is run: $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash and tell it to NOT install dash as /bin/sh. Of course this is contrary to Ubuntu recommendations. 73, ...jerry KA6HDL On Thu, Aug 5, 2010 at 11:26 AM, Curt, WE7U <[email protected]> wrote: > On Thu, 5 Aug 2010, John Wilson wrote: > >> Today, I made the attempt to load on Lubuntu 10.04 and received a failure >> at the point where you install Xastir.
