ownCloud vs Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

Leave a comment

owncloudHad issues getting the ownCloud client to work after doing an inplace upgrade from Ubuntu 20.04 LTS to 22.04LTS. Read various other articles that didn’t really help me. Most did point to the official ownCloud repository and in there is a file called install.sh, looking at that this would do all the tasks required to get the repository working and install the ownCloud client as well. After doing this, without uninstalling the current non working client, it was working. The only thing was that I had to disable and enable the “Launch on Startup” option and it was done. It is safe to say that the client in Ubuntu’s own repository will also get updated at some point in time and it becomes a non issue. Below are the steps performed.

  • Download the install.sh file via a webbrowser (you can of course use wget as well): https://download.owncloud.com/desktop/ownCloud/stable/latest/linux/Ubuntu_22.04/INSTALL.sh
  • Open the terminal and executed the following command in the folder where the INSTALL.sh file was downloaded): sudo sh .\INSTALL.sh
  • Start the ownCloud client
  • Disable and Enable the “Launch on Startup” setting on the Settings tab.

LDAP import on Blue-Mind 2.0.8

Leave a comment

LDAP import into Blue-Mind 2.0.8 on Ubuntu 12.04LTS and maybe other Debian based installs as well.

Did an out of the box install of Blue-Mind 2.0.8 on a server to start investigating if Blue-Mind could replace my current Exchange Server install as it had the basics which are calendaring and activesync support for mobile devices, but found out that it couldn’t do the ldap-import according the instructions found here.

Blue Mind

It seems that the package website can be browsed as a directory so I went looking for the plugin name as that was mentioned on their community pages.

So, if you want to do LDAP imports on your Ubuntu 12.04LTS server within Blue-Mind you can do so with the following two commands:

wget “http://pkg.blue-mind.net/2.0.8/precise/main/bm-plugin-core-ldap-import_2.0.9987_amd64.deb”
dpkg -i bm-plugin-core-ldap-import_2.0.9987_amd64.deb

You will need to use sudo of course and then restart Blue-Mind, after which you now have the “Directories” tab added as shown in the Blue-Mind knowledge base article mentioned above. However how to add it was missing in the knowledge base, or at least I never found it. Also it might be possible that it does install if you run OpenLDAP on the same server which was not so in my case. Hope this might help you out if you are struggling with the same issue.
