[ovs-discuss] Encountering error with installation steps

[Anu Mercian]

Hi Developers!
I am new to OpenVSwitch and am using the different instructions. I have encountered one problem for which I am unable to find a solution in online forums. 
I have installed VirtualBox 2.2 on my Ubuntu 12.04.1 Host. I have spun up Ubuntu 12.04.1 (Kernel 3.0) on the virtual machine as well. I have installed Open Vswitch 2.0, when I run the following command:
"service openvswitch-switch status"
I get that the ovsdb-server, ovs-vswitchd, ovs-brcompat are not running. 
Then I try to start ovs by using the command:
"/etc/init.d/openvswitch-switch start"
For which the response is:
"ovsdb-server: "db:Open_vSwitch,manager_options": Invalid Syntax" 
Is this a problem for OVS 2.0 version on Ubuntu 12.04.1? Is there a workaround for this?
Thank you,Anu
