if you don't know how to install it on Linux you can download a virtual
machine here, already built, it's not the latest version of the OS, it's an
old OS, but maybe it works for you

I’ll have to make some guesses here, but first I need to say, you have to
give us more to work on. I’ve been in support for a long time, and “it
doesn’t work” doesn’t mean anything. What doesn’t work? This is like
calling the help desk and saying “The internet is down!”. I’ve had that,
usually pressing the cap locks key on the users keyboard fixes the issue.
Give us something to work with:
Does the command just hang and you have to kill it? It’s pretty big, maybe
you don’t wait long enough.
Did you try tar –xvf xymon-4.3.10.tar.gz? This will give you output so
you can see the progress of the files unpacking.
Does it end in an error? What’s the error?
Are you trying to untar it into a directory you don’t have write access
to? Perhaps an nfs share that to which root can’t write?
Is it possible to untar it in two steps. Gunzip xymon-4.3.10.tar and then
tar –xvf xymon-4.3.10.tar?
Why are you trying to build such an old version of xymon? How about
getting the latest, or just 1 or 2 revisions back?
Ultimately my best guess is you have a corrupt tar file or you have write
issues on your local media.

What can I make when the command «tar zxf xymon-4.3.10.tar.gz» doesn’t
work (with sudo it also doesnt work)?
And I have not found a resolution about installing with a gui?

*Betreff:* upgrade from BigBrother to Xymon
Dear Xymon-Team
I have some question about the Xymon Server.
Can I upgrade from a BigBrother Server (Windows Server 2003) to a Xymon
Server (UNIX)?
Works Xymon on Windows Operating System (newer than Windows Server 2003)?
Should I installing a ubuntu server version or will be ok when i
installing ubuntu desktop version?
Thanks for the answer
best regards Patrik Nussbaumer
