Hello! Thanks for your feedback, I would love to take a look at all of the issues you've submitted and see if I can nail down where the problem is to update the code. Before I begin, can you tell me what version of the installer are you using? Are you using the 3.0 installer linked on the front page, or did you build an updated installer by downloading the repo and then using 'CreateNetSUSInstaller.sh'?

If you haven't tried creating an updated installer, would you mind? I don't recall seeing this as an issue in the 3.0 version, but there have been a number of updates that haven't been merged into a pre-created installer yet.

Also, can you tell me anything about your environment? Specifically, do you have a proxy server that might be blocking connections?

Hi, jschripsema-

Thanks for the questions. Here are my responses:

I’m using the standalone installer for version 3.0, linked to from the front page. Here is the URL I’m using to download the installer directly to each test machine:

http://jamfsoftware-content.s3.amazonaws.com/downloads/NetSUS_3.0.run

I have not yet tried this. I will try now.

I’m not using any proxies at all. My test machines (Ubuntu, CentOS) are VirtualBox VMs running on OS X 10.9.1 host. Hardware-wise, the host is a Mac Mini is connected to the network via ethernet, and each VM uses an individual bridged connection (they piggy-back on the Mac Mini’s ethernet connection). Neither the host machine nor the guest machines are using a proxy.

As I described in the STR, I’m making sure to update all packages with the package manager (yum/ aptitude) before testing.

Each of the VMs is set to use static IP, and each VM has DNS (resolv.conf) configured individually (manually) for that machine. FWIW the host machine is using static IP, too.

The network configuration of my LAN is pretty standard, as well. No vlan, no local DNS, nothing fancy. It’s essentially what you’d expect from any SOHO network (e.g. if somebody purchased a Linksys router from Best Buy and plugged it in).

I’m not sure how much detail is potentially helpful here. If there’s any additional information that seems like it might be helpful, please let me know.

I hope this helps. If there’s any additional information I can provide here, please let me know. Otherwise I’ll get started building my own installer. Thanks.

I reproduced this behavior in a build from the trunk/ master branch (latest commit 152370d). To reproduce this, I followed the STR I list above.

Here are the results of the tests I ran:

• CentOS 6.5: I reproduced this behavior. The date that displayed for Last Sync: was Mar 17.
• Ubuntu LTS 12.04 Server: I was not able to test here. I was not able to install NetSUS successfully due to #28.
• Ubuntu LTS 10.04 Server: I was not able to get a date to display for for Last Sync: Instead, I observed #29.
