License server on Ubuntu 11.10

I am trying to install a single seat floating license for CCSv5 on a linux box running Ubuntu 11.10.

Following docs (processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/License_Server_Administration_for_CCS) for command line installation and running into the problem that a lot of people seem to have: "tidspssw: The desired vendor daemon is down".  None of the solutions worked for my system.

So, I decided to try the graphical installation method.  Now, I have another problem that I can't find a solution for - I can't seem to execute the lmadmin installer program.

I have executed chmod 555 according to the directions, but when I execute "./lmadmin-i86_lsb-11_12_0_0.bin" from the "/opt/license_server" directory, the program simply fails silently.

Has anybody successfully installed the license server on Ubuntu 11.10?  Any hints or suggestions would be welcome.   My project timeline is starting to suffer.

Thanks.

    Hi,

    Someone recently reported that lmgrd failed to execute and was only able to run it by installing the LSB packages (check this post).

    You may also need other requirements to run a program that uses a graphical interface on Linux - for example, JRE 1.5 or newer is required by the installer (reference here).

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael

    I seem to have the latest 'lsb-' packages installed:

    firmware$ sudo apt-get install lsb-core lsb-base
    [sudo] password for xxxxx:
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree       
    Reading state information... Done
    lsb-base is already the newest version.
    lsb-core is already the newest version.
    0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

    And is this the proper answer to the question of JRE version:

    firmware$ java -version
    java version "1.6.0_27"
    OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.12.5) (6b27-1.12.5-0ubuntu0.11.10.1)
    OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b12, mixed mode)

    Thanks,

    One question just occurred to me - In a multihomed machine, which MAC address does the license server look for?

    The machine that I am trying to get the server running on has 4 NICs and only the 3rd NIC has a network address.  When I created the license, I used the MAC of the 3rd (connected) NIC.

    Should I have used ETH0 even if it was not connected and has no network address?

    Found the problem - corrupted lmadmin-i86....bin file.  Redownloaded it and it runs now.

    Thanks for your help.
