Hi!
I posted this question originally over here (http ://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/software-os/f/3525/t/19667810) and added a post to a 1yr old thread here (http ://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/systems-management/f/4494/t/19592018).
I am trying to setup the Inventory Collector on PowerEdge 1950 running Ubuntu 14.04.03 LTS without succeeding:
# apt-get install srvadmin-cm
Reading package lists... Done

In the thread above (second link) I read that DUP was not supported on Ubuntu. This thread is around 1 year old and I was hoping that this is no longer true... :) If it is true, then I wont need the Inventory Collector, but if things have changed then I need it and ergo need help investigating why it wont install.
Best regards,
