Install / Update Setup

Hi Team,

Your help is needed. I’m trying to setup bench on a new server but getting the following error:

TASK [locale : Check current locale] ***************************************************************
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {“changed”: true, “cmd”: “localectl”, “delta”: “0:00:00.060759”, “end”: “2017-10-22 21:00:27.960774”, “failed”: true, “rc”: 1, “start”: “2017-10-22 21:00:27.900015”, “stderr”: “Could not get properties: Connection timed out”, “stderr_lines”: [“Could not get properties: Connection timed out”], “stdout”: “”, “stdout_lines”: []}

Full log is (2nd try on same server after manually selecting the Locale):

All I know is that ansible scripts the install process steps for various environments -

frappe@erpnext:~/frappe-bench$ find … -name playbooks | xargs ls -al
total 32
drwxrwxr-x 5 frappe frappe 4096 Oct 13 19:28 .

Here is the ansible repository https://github.com/frappe/bench/tree/master/playbooks

Here’s your fatal error:

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {“changed”: true, “cmd”: “localectl”, “delta”: “0:00:00.060759”, “end”: “2017-10-22 21:00:27.960774”, “failed”: true, “rc”: 1, “start”: “2017-10-22 21:00:27.900015”, “stderr”: “Could not get properties: Connection timed out”, “stderr_lines”: [“Could not get properties: Connection timed out”], “stdout”: “”, “stdout_lines”: }

My guess the connection timeout is to this? Index of /ubuntu

And this is apparently the ansible step Repository search results · GitHub

Here is my local for example:

frappe@erpnext:~/frappe-bench$ localectl
System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
VC Keymap: n/a
X11 Layout: us
X11 Model: pc105

I run VM ERPNext instances so am not acquainted with the install process…

hope this helps.

Thank you for your response @clarkej

I run localectl on got a time out

root@pe:~# localectl
Could not get properties: Connection timed out

Problem is that I’m getting the same response on my live server from the same provider. I am not sure why, maybe there’s a related issue. I’m I running it within the wrong directory? If so then there’s no way to tell on my new server because I dont yet have bench.

A ping to archive.ubuntu.com is working fine. I can also see this in my sources.

Thanks again.

@adam26d i have the same problem with scaleway i switched to linode.

Thank you @SOLOSOFT

I’ve messaged scale way and been asked to post on the community (IKR :sweat:). Lets see if they’ll acknowledge or do anything.

https://community.online.net/t/changes-to-ubuntu-server-cannot-install-erpnext/5476

Any other ideas/ resolutions on scaleway?

Yep. Been there, seen those errors on Scaleway. I did a manual install on a new server and after a series of errors finally managed to make it after keeping at it relentlessly for a couple of days. I really can’t even remember all errors I got. But I got a lot, but nothing I couldn’t solve with a bit of time. But you’re probably better off switching to another service provider.

Thanks

I’ve just switched to Linode. Now I’ve to do data transfers :sweat:, deal with email issues, certificates.

also in scaleway they use atom processor instead of xeon which better in linode or others.

I losed 6 days in scaleway trying to figure out whats the problem no success i followed the hard way in installation but not satifid with so i switch (i already tried on linode, amazon, digitalocean works good).
