I followed a tutorial at unixmen on how to install monitorx in ubuntu
i installed the dependencies and downloaded the monitorix_2.5.0-izzy1_all.deb
deb package but when i try to install it i get this error

google transtaler (i have a dutch Ubuntu and so was the error message)

dpkg: error processing monitorix_2.5.0-izzy1_all.deb (- install):
  parsing file '/ var / lib / dpkg / tmp.ci / control' near line 14 package 'monitorix':
  blank line in the value of field 'Description'
Errors were encountered while processing:
  monitorix_2.5.0-izzy1_all.deb

my question is how to get monitorx up and running in Ubuntu 11.10 amd64

I had the same issue, so I wrote the packager. His new deb file worked for me, but I also had to install dependencies:

Edit: For the deb file, please email Andreas Itzchak Rehberg, you will find his email address on this page -- http://www.monitorix.org/downloads.html

Installation

cd ./Downloads
sudo dpkg -i monitorix_2.5.0-izzy2_all.deb

  • To save you the hazzle of manually downloading and solving the dependencies, you could also use the repository at http://apt.izzysoft.de/ with your sources.list – and the side-effect of receiving updates automatically. // Disclosure: I'm the above mentioned packager and the repository owner/maintainer. I work together closely with Jordi (dev of Monitorix) on this package, so updates are usually coming in-time. – Izzy Nov 27 '13 at 22:32
