I am unable to get my fah client to install on Ubuntu, I am using the command
Code: Select all
sudo dpkg -i /home/alex/Downloads/fahclient.deb
but get the error
Code: Select all
Errors were encountered while processing:
fahclient
I am unsure of how to solve this error and would really like to get my Linux server folding. Any suggestions are much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Is there any other message that could help with a more detailed error message ?

That is the exact output of the install command. By no means am I a Linux power user so it might be something simple that I am missing.

My recommendation is to not install the client. All you need is FAHCoreWrapper and FAHClient (extract from the .deb) and the config.xml (steal from another computer or let me know if you need the format). Place those three files in a folder, make sure the executables are executable, and ./FAHClient from a terminal. Much easier than dealing with the installer and diving deep into the bowels for config files and dealing with autostart.

I already saw this error ... I think there is a "magic" command to fix it, but I'm not a Linux expert and I can't remember it ...

I think the magic command is:
Code: Select all
sudo update-rc.d FAHClient defaults
