Installing (or reinstalling) with Ubuntu

NB: this page is obseleted by the InstallGuides/UbuntuPackage.

If necessary, save the home area somewhere temporarily

# scp -r -C /home/ chaste@userpc58:home_userpc44
# rsync -avz /home/ chaste@userpc58:home_userpc44
[root@userpc59 ~]# rsync -avz /home/ chaste@chaste-bob:home_userpc59
[root@userpc60 ~]# rsync -avz /home/ chaste@chaste-bob:home_userpc60

Install from CD (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS i386 or x86_64). I thought about putting /home on a separate partition to facilitate future re-installs, but decided that this was more effort than the potential benefit warranted.
Put in network setting for fixed IP
Create bob Unprivileged user (on userpc44) with random password
- Copy bob's .ssh/authorized_keys2 from the server and check that svn@chaste.comlab is able to log in with no password
- Copy bob's home area
```
bob@chaste-bob:~$  rsync -avz /home/bob/ bob@userpc44
```
Changes to software repositories (via System->Administration->Software Sources)
- Add 3rd party software

Add Medibuntu (for acroread)

 echo "deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ hardy free non-free" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
 wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update

Edit /etc/hostname to userpcxx.comlab.ox.ac.uk (for Scons and Intel checks)
Things like icc don't like /bin/sh -> dash, they prefer bash
```
sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash
```

Copying things back (not to the home area, but somewhere where they can be read)

chaste@userpc44:~$ rsync -avz chaste@userpc58:home_userpc44 old_home_areas
chaste@userpc59:~$ rsync -avz chaste@chaste-bob:home_userpc59 old_home_areas
chaste@userpc60:~$ rsync -avz chaste@chaste-bob:home_userpc60 old_home_areas

Note: if you are using the cell_based visualiser (written in java) and it doesn't compile, compiles with warnings or doesn't run, it may be because the Sun java compiler is not installed or not being used. See #752.
```
sudo aptitude install sun-java5-jdk
sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-1.5.0-sun
```
