ntop

Hello All,

Just tried to install ntop using the wiki.
But my B3 did not find ntop on the command: apt-get install ntop

Must the recources.list file be changed for this?

Hi, I suspect you need to do the following:

Login as 'su' to become root. Uncomment the debian sources from /etc/apt/sources.list

Then do

apt-get update

Then try the:

apt-get install ntop

Remember to change the sources.list file back once you've finished.

I followed that guide as well, and I did not have to change my sources.list on my B3 in order to install it...

Hello

Changed some lines , removed the #

but stil:
Reading state information... Done
Package ntop is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package ntop has no installation candidate
........what to do

What line should i uncomment......... or add?

It must have just been removed.
Before my previous reply I tried apt-get install ntop, and it was there (I declined to install it).
Now after apt-get update:

niklas@b3:~$ sudo apt-get install ntop

Hello Cheeseboy,

Thx......was already doubting my minor linux expertise......

I added these lines to sources.list on my bubba 2

Code: Select all

deb http://archive.debian.org/debian etch main
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian etch contrib
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian etch non-free

That has solved more or less all of my problems with installing software.

Hi again,

You should NOT add etch repositories to your sources.list on B3.
Look at the commented lines in the existing file to get ideas of what to add.

I think this is the reason ntop disappeared:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=595446

You could still download and compile the source...
I must say it is not feasible to have this running on the B3 though. I installed it according to the guide in the wiki, and had to remove it as it ate nearly all the CPU on the B3...
(also I could not make sense of 90% of the output )
