[Opm] Problem installing OPM Flow- not latest

[Stephen, Karl D]

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 "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 "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:" 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
