Excellent! re: > Let me know if you need any other output. The above listings indicate that the LDM is correctly installed! er: > Otherwise, let's get ldm logging with Ubuntu! I agree, but there is one thing you can do right now to test to see if the LDM should work: rerun the 'notifyme' tests: <as 'ldm'> - first, modify the <hostname> entry in ~ldm/etc/registry.xml so that the value looks like a fully qualified hostname If the entry is _not_ a fully-qualified hostname, I suggest changing it to: nexradVM.chicago.edu Quite frankly, the easiest way to make the <hostname> change to ~ldm/etc/registry.xml is to simply edit the file using your favorite text editor (e.g., vi, emacs, nano, etc.). Make the <hostname> entry look like: <hostname>nexradVM.chicago.edu</hostname> - next, run the notifyme tests that I suggested previously: notifyme -vl- -f NEXRAD2 -h idd.unidata.ucar.edu notifyme -vl- -f WMO -h gale.unidata.ucar.edu I will address the changes needed to make LDM logging work under Ubuntu in a follow-up email. Why later? I am at home right now, and I do not have access to a machine running Ubuntu (we are basically a RedHat shop in that all instances of Linux that we run are RedHat variants), and I can't remember the specific names of the system files that need to be modified. At work, I have access to a machine (a single board Odroid U3) running Lubuntu where I worked out how to make LDM logging work. I will send the follow-up email when I get into work and have reviewed the steps that are needed.
