ignite ux

[Carla Breuer]

I have downloaded ignite ux 11.0 version for client from hp's site. It is a .depot file. Here are some of the errors I am receiving during swinstall.

ERROR: The internal uncompress routine has detected corruption while cedompressing to file "/opt/ignite/boot/INSTALL" which has compression type "gzip"
ERROR: tar: /home/Ignite-UX-11-00_B.4.1.61_HP-UX_B.11.22_IA+PA.depot: This doesn't look like a tar archive.
and the list goes on... Any thoughts Ideas. Points to all!

Hi,

Try and download the archive again.

Here is the link I use:

My best guess is that you did not do a binary ftp download.

I would also avoid .gzip files or unzip them on a PC before transferring the .depot file (again binary) to your HP-UX box.

I forgot to mention, why to download it again. Because of the shear size of the archive, it may not have downloaded fully/properly at your first attempt.

Try doing a swlist on the file to confirm it is healthy and whole:

swlist -d @ /home/Ignite-UX-11-00_B.4.1.61_HP-UX_B.11.22_IA+PA.depot

Check that you did not run out of space either during d/l or during install (check install log for any additional error messages).

And finally, as previously mentioned, try to download the depot again.

The exact same thing has happened to me on other depots.

The download it again trick worked as noted by my predecessors in this thread.

Once I tried swinstall in a file that had been gzipped. The results were similar but didn't require me to download it again.

To avoid problems with these issues, when downloading anything from HP using a pc based browser, I save it on a mapped drive that maps to an hp-ux server running CIFS/9000. This HP port of samba gets all that nasty ascii/binary stuff right for me without me having to think about it.

Thank you for all your help guys. I just needed to do the ftp'ing in binary mode. All is well now.
