I have found this messages about problems running freipa in ubuntu: https://www.redhat.com/archives/freeipa-devel/2011-September/msg00407.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/freeipa-devel/2011-September/msg00408.html
and this ticket: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1887 I created the nss database with null password, run an ipa-client-install --uninstall and tried to join the domain only to find a problem configuring ntp because the installation script tries to modify a sysconfig file that only exists in redhat systems: root : DEBUG Backing up system configuration file '/etc/ntp.conf' root : DEBUG Saving Index File to '/var/lib/ipa-client/sysrestore/sysrestore.index' root : DEBUG Backing up system configuration file '/etc/sysconfig/ntpd' root : DEBUG -> Not backing up - '/etc/sysconfig/ntpd' doesn't exist Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/ipa-client-install", line 1292, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "/usr/sbin/ipa-client-install", line 1279, in main rval = install(options, env, fstore, statestore) File "/usr/sbin/ipa-client-install", line 1247, in install ipaclient.ntpconf.config_ntp(ntp_server, fstore, statestore) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ipaclient/ntpconf.py", line 127, in config_ntp __write_config(path_ntp_sysconfig, ntp_sysconfig) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ipaclient/ntpconf.py", line 94, in __write_config fd = open(path, "w") IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/sysconfig/ntpd' pasqual@ubuntuprovesfreeipa:~$ as a workaround I comment this lines in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ipaclient/ntpconf.py : __backup_config(path_ntp_sysconfig, fstore) __write_config(path_ntp_sysconfig, ntp_sysconfig) ipaservices.restore_context(path_ntp_sysconfig) after that the install can finnish correctly although there are some minor errors in the log (which I attach). I'm now testing if the system is functional (it has bad look) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/997990 Title: fail joining to a freeipa server with ipa-client-install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/freeipa/+bug/997990/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
