'jaunty-updates' needs to be added to '/etc/apt/sources.list' on the click2try image.

Otherwise packages which were available on the livedemo final iso will not be the same on the click2try image and many potential installation failures will occur.

This was noticed because the machine runs python 2.6 by default and the 'python-mapnik 0.5.1-3ubuntu2.0' only provides mapnik bindings for python2.5 while the '0.5.1-3ubuntu2.1' (only available from jaunty-updates) provides bindings for both python2.5 and python2.6.

Doing this should fix the problem:

# add to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://mirror.math.ucdavis.edu/ubuntu/ jaunty-updates main restricted universe
# then run:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

I updated the GeoNetwork install scripts in the hope they resolve the startup problems that existed. I have also updated the software to the latest version 2.4.2. The scripts need testing by someone.

Hi,

our install_desktop.sh script uses the xfconf-query program to set the xfce desktop background. The new version of this in ub9.10 wants to see a X server running(?), so we'll have to find another way.
