KACE Agent on Command Line Ubuntu

Good morning-

Is it possible to install the 5.4 KACE agent on an instance of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS or 12.04 LTS that is command line only?

Thank you!

Sure, it's possible.  I haven't done extensive testing on it, but it seems to work normally.

To install, mount the client share from the K1000 and run the install command similar to this:

sudo KACE_SERVER=K1000name dpkg -i ampagent-5.4.10622.ubuntu.64.deb

  • That sounds easy enough. Is it also possible to deploy it through the GUI? - brupnick 10 years ago
    • Linux is a server OS. No GUI on servers ;)
      There are many package managers for the GUI.
      KPackage if you use KDE, synaptic and many others.
      Never used them as I am a CLI guy. - Nico_K 10 years ago
      • Sorry, my follow up was not clear. Is it also possible to deploy the agent through the KACE web GUI? I see options for Linux, but want to make sure that this will work if my Linux target is command line only. - brupnick 10 years ago
      • It is not necessarily a server os. One can install any of a myriad of desktop environments, or none. - pyperdown 10 years ago
  • Yes, it's possible. You have to be able to SSH into the client machine with root level credentials to deploy from the K1000.

    Use those credentials to set up the provisioning task in the K1000. - jknox 10 years ago
  • yes, it is possible. - Nico_K 10 years ago
  • Since it has been stated that it is possible, could someone detail the steps needed to get Ubuntu 12.04 ready for auto provisioning please for us who may not be as good with Linux. - happyshow 10 years ago
    • SSH has to be enabled and you need root level credentials. P.92: http://www.kace.com/support/resources/~/media/Files/Support/Documentation/K1000/v54/K1000-Admin-Guide-v54.ashx - jknox 10 years ago
