Okay, I was a bit imprecise.

OPM is indeed available in Debian, and thus also in Ubuntu. However, this is stuck at the version that was
in the version of Debian the Ubuntu release was based on - in particular for 22.04 this is OPM 2021.10.
The version in the distro is built for arm.

To get a newer version you need to add the PPA. And the PPA only contains amd64 builds.

Hi Arne,

Thank you for the confirmation. I did wonder if it was an issue with ARM not working. I did look for information about that but don’t seem to see it anywhere.



I don’t follow your comment about installing the newer version, however. The 2021.10 does seem to work on ARM under Ampere. I followed the usual 7 instructions for installing the binaries to get that. I had thought that that means the opm ppa repository has been added therefore. Am I missing something? Do you mean that OPM is available without further installation?



While the Intel option all works, it is not part of the Free Tier offered by Oracle. There is an AMD option but I think that is intended more for web page processing and the resource is too small for the Ubuntu desktop. I was hoping to get the latter for ResInsight.



Regards,

Karl

Hi,



the opm packages are not available for arm, only amd64. So you cannot run on ampere nodes.



As for it installing 2021.10, that's the version available in ubuntu (inherited from its debian base). To install the newer

version you need to add the opm ppa repository.

Hi,
Last week I attempted to install OPM Flow and ResInsight binaries on a Virtual Machine of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, hosted on Oracle's Free Tier cloud. I have not used this platform previously, usually using an Ubuntu VM via Virtualbox or Windows 10 Linux Sub-system.

After following the instructions, I found that I had installed the 2021.10 version of OPM Flow on the cloud VM. I could not get it to install the latest version (I also found that I could not complete the installation of Resinsight binaries).

On the same day, I set up a version of OPM flow on a newly created VM via Virtualbox. This all worked fine.

The main differences between the cloud and the Virtualbox installations appear to be used for downloading files.

The troublesome Cloud VM looks "https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fuk-london-1-ad-3.clouds.ports.ubuntu.com%2Fubuntu-ports&data=05%7C01%7Carne.morten.kvarving%40sintef.no%7C373d29b877a34766aa8d08db91f9ec74%7Ce1f00f39604145b0b309e0210d8b32af%7C1%7C0%7C638264274834316206%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=UmTEseZTNrSPLZji0aLEf94MW9RI3JJVbpumT8kxPLs%3D&reserved=0<http://uk-london-1-ad-3.clouds.ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports>" for files it seems and this is conformed in the sources.list in /etc/apt. Meanwhile the working Virtualbox looks to "https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fgb.archive.ubuntu.com%2Fubuntu%2F&data=05%7C01%7Carne.morten.kvarving%40sintef.no%7C373d29b877a34766aa8d08db91f9ec74%7Ce1f00f39604145b0b309e0210d8b32af%7C1%7C0%7C638264274834316206%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=FBbXcdlCSFKHwGY78U0GAMMk2%2FeL4Q18hPMlBrsVMo8%3D&reserved=0<http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/>" (also shown in sources.list).

I found that I could change the location of downloaded files in Settings -> Software and Updates in Ubuntu to "Main Server". This changed my chosen location to:" https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fports.ubuntu.com%2Fubuntu-ports%2F&data=05%7C01%7Carne.morten.kvarving%40sintef.no%7C373d29b877a34766aa8d08db91f9ec74%7Ce1f00f39604145b0b309e0210d8b32af%7C1%7C0%7C638264274834316206%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=mlGXENISGUPUsVqiHO0A18ef3qin4cVYuT8jx1tl0Ak%3D&reserved=0"<http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/>. However this id not help. There is no option to change to specific locations (as is available in the version under Virtualbox).

The other significant differences that I can see compared to the VirtualBox option is that the Cloud instance of Ubuntu was installed to run on the "Ampere" shape. This means that when I run flow it reports:
Operating system =  Linux aarch64 (Kernel: 5.15.0-1039-oracle, #45-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jul 13 19:41:22 UTC 2023 )

If I select the Intel "shape", everything works fine as I am running on the x86 processors.

I am not sure if the is an issue with the version of Linux or flow itself responding to install the binaries appropriately. Is this a known issue or can you help?

Regards,
Karl
