Installing Flash Media Server 2 on Ubuntu 6.10

The installation script for Flash Media Server works only on RedHat Enterprise by default. With some modifications it works fine on Ubuntu Edgy:
apt-get install libnspr4 libstdc++5 libstdc++5-3.3-dev
wget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashmediaserver/updates/2_0_3/linux/flashmediaserver2.tar.gz
tar xfz flashmediaserver2.tar.gz
cd FMS*
wget http://www.bluetwanger.de/~mbertheau/fms.patch
patch -p1 < fms.patch
sudo ./installFMS

with his great patch my installation of FMS2 on my Mac Book Pro running Ubuntu 6.10 server inside Parallels Desktop worked like a charm :-)

    How did you get Ubuntu 6.10 server working with Parallels? I’ve tried both the server iso and the alternate iso and neither seem to work.

    I require the server installation and not the desktop one, so this is quite annoying. :(

    Let me know, please!

    yes, alan - try the alternate install, not the “normal” installer cd.

    Hi all…

    following this and the other blog cause I would love to get my parallels up and running Ubuntu with FMS as well. Now I have one question (maybe a bit nooBish)..

    When you say “alternate” install do you mean this iso (ubuntu-6.10-alternate-i386.iso)?

    I tried already several other editions but they are stuck booting the kernel it seems!? :(

    TIA..
    Tony

    exactly. the alternate iso should work. take care when upgrading the kernel - don’t choose a server kernel.
