Welll, it’s quite weird. Moreover, everything seems to be ok… (Success) I will try to do a little research on the subject.
Not sure why exactly this is happening, it might be the install script not understanding that the postinstall is done … To me, this install script should just tell to launch “manually” the postinstall with the corresponding command.
Anyway, it should be fine to just Ctrl+C (“cancel” the command) when getting to this point then keep on with the rest
OK, heres an update. So, after this point I found that if I reboot I get a username and password prompt. after numerous trial and errors, I found that if I typed “admin” and used the admin password I chose, that it would let me into a terminal where I COULD type “yunohost create user username” … immediately afterwards I did a “sudo install gnome” and got my DE installed.
i then used sudo to create a new user in the terminal “sudo useradd -m username”. I did this because in Gnome I could not use the GUI to add a user. My password which I used to login to “admin” would not let me gain GUI access to add a new user for some reason. I even tried to change the “admin” user password in the terminal using “passwd username”… the prompt was different than usual. It said “LDAP administrator password:” instead of Enter new UNIX password:".
Its details like this that has newbies like me scratching their head… I will keep updating this thread as I figure more stuff out and have questions.
Uh okay, but be aware that installing a desktop environment on a server is not something usually recommended … except if you really have the use of it. Servers are usually not meant to have a desktop environment as it just take a lot of resources for something that is unused 99.9% of the time.
Also I don’t understand why you didn’t create the user using yunohost user create
as was advised by the postinstall ?
