Setup Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet Discussion

Chris Oliver asked in General

Worked like a charm testing out on 15.04 with the exception I had to change the repository back to utopic for nodejs and had to add the gpg key for rvm.. great article.. thanks

Awesome! I'll be sure to tweak those soon since the final release comes out soon!

Minor inconsistency at the top of the post you recommend 14.10 Trusty Tahr. The 14.10 release is actually Utopic Unicorn, and 14.04 LTS is Trusty Tahr.

Ah! Thanks. You find my copy-paste job from last version. ;)

I tried to install using rvm but I get this error.

Error running 'requirements_debian_update_system ruby-2.2.1',

showing last 15 lines of /home/bagus/.rvm/log/1428510134_ruby-2.2.1/update_system.log

404 errors should be fixed for rvm to proceed. Check your sources configured in:

/etc/apt/sources.list

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list

There has been error while updating 'apt-get', please give it some time and try again later.

Sounds like you've got issues with apt-get running. Other people have had the same issue it looks like so you'll want to make sure that you can run "sudo apt-get update" successfully it seems.

Thanks, perfect work!!!

It looks like the PPA hasnt' been updated for 15.04 yet. For now, replace that step with "sudo apt-get install nodejs" and you should be fine.

Some problems before and after install of Ruby 2.2.2 with rbenv on (l)ubuntu 15.04:

1. The Ruby openssl extension was not compiled. Missing the OpenSSL lib?

Solution for me was

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

2. On an error:

Sorry, you can't use byebug without Readline. To solve this, you need to rebuild Ruby with Readline support. If using Ubuntu, try sudo apt-get install libreadline-dev and then reinstall your Ruby.

Solution for me was

sudo apt-get install libreadline-dev
CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-readline-dir=/usr/include/readline" rbenv install 2.2.2

The nodejs ppa:chris-lea/node.js sometimes you get the 404 error

it is better just to go with the

---
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/... | sudo bash -

----

then

---
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

---

this works fine every time

also for postgresql when creating user some times you get the

---

createuser: could not connect to database postgres: could not connect to server: No such file or directory

Is the server running locally and accepting

connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
---
restart with
sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql restart

and your good to go

What is the advantage of the nodejs you get from the PPA? Ubuntu seems to have nodejs in their repo by default also.

Reply

The difference is just that the PPA gets updated more often (if the maintainer keeps up to date) vs the Ubuntu repo which only gets updated once every major version change. You'll get a stable version of Nodejs, but it will only receive small updates and security fixes, not major version changes.

many thanks, but i have a problem installing rails with this command: gem install rails -v 4.2.1
this is the result:

You may need 'rbenv rehash' after setting ruby global version.

Under your "Using rvm" instructions, they require that you be using a 'bash' shell (the commands would not work with a 'tcsh' shell). Also, the curl command errored the first time, requiring the downloading of a gpg key from keys.gnupg.net and then doing it again. Finally, (if you're installing as root, anyway) the path was /usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm ..not ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm (I typically run as root while doing the initial setups of various services and software on a new machine.)

Actually, I couldn't get much of anything to work with the rvm setup. So, I went the easy route and just "apt-get install ruby ruby-dev". It's an older version, but I think it has everything I need.

I got error on Ubuntu 15.04 with mysql2:
Gem::LoadError: can't activate mysql2 (~> 0.3.13), already activated mysql2-0.4.1. Make sure all dependencies are added to Gemfile.
