I am running on a Dell desktop with i7 processor and 16GB of RAM. During the install, I had Firefox as the only UI running. First few times I was running top to see what was happening but during the success runs, I stopped running so missed out on the swap business. Load average was higher than normal. cheers, --Daniel  --------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2017 16:30:29 -0500 From: Paul A To: koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: Re: [Koha] Installing Koha on LInux Mint VERSION="18.1 (Serena)" Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed On 2017-02-27 06:19 AM, Daniel F.

Did you "down-grade" MySQL to 5.5 / 5.6 or change to MariaDB? How big is your database, and how much memory was available? An hour and three quarters seems inordinately long, although a lack of multi-core threading might be a cause. Did this spill over into swap? Ref. point for us is that any MySql op that lasts for more than a couple of seconds (with 16 Gigs RAM on reasonably fast 8-core systems) is suspect as being badly coded. Mint, per se, shouldn't be a stumbling point -- it's only a desktop, and should have minimal impact on the underlying Debian/Ubuntu system. Best - Paul

Thanks for your help.

My first attempt at installing Koha on Linux Mint has encountered the following issues:

myusbpc@myusbpc-XPS-8700 ~/Downloads/koha-16.11.00 $ sudo apt-get install koha-common Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package koha-common

I am following the instructions https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_packages Here is the history of what I did: 513 echo deb http://debian.koha-community.org/koha stable main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/koha.list 514 ll /etc/apt/sources.list.d/koha.list 515 cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/koha.list 516 wget -O- http://debian.koha-community.org/koha/gpg.asc | sudo apt-key add - 517 sudo apt-get install koha-common

the problem is that after 516

...

516 wget -O- http://debian.koha-community.org/koha/gpg.asc | sudo apt-key add -

you try to install koha-common

...

517 sudo apt-get install koha-common

The correct sequence is: wget -O- http://debian.koha-community.org/koha/gpg.asc | sudo apt-key add - sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install koha-common

I suggest you to read all web page https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_packages before to continue

Remeber that your version of Linux Mint uses MySQL 5.7 so check this paragraph:

https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_packages#Ubuntu_16.04_...

Generaly speaking use Linux Mint only if you know it very well. Koha is tested on Debian and Ubuntu, we probaly have very little experience on Linux Mint.
