Full Text Search script breaks installation during first setup

[nxtester]

As a routined tester of this wonderful script I encountered two serious glitches trying to install latest NC VM. Double verified, so it might be serious:

1. "Read Error" during installation of "Nextcloud Talk" if system ask "Do you want change port?" (see screenshot)

2. At the end of the main script (and after all components have been installed) system will ask for a new UNIX password. At this stage script will fall in a endless loop and script can't finish properly and has to be stopped by CTRL+C

If I restart the so stopped installation, script will start again and has to be stopped to prevent damaging existing installation. Anyway it seems that all is working properly.

Assumed faulty part of https://github.com/nextcloud/vm/blob/master/nextcloud-startup-script.sh:

Line 502 - 527

Q: Can I manually finish those steps which have been left out because of the endless loop? I need manually execute all lines from 502 until the end of script.

Best regards,

@nxtester Thanks for your report!

Just tested and everything works here. Not sure what could be wrong: https://cloud.techandme.se/s/Lp4W5426zmei8HQ

Did you install any other apps during the setup? There have been issues with Full Text Search before.

[enoch85]

I could reproduce it if I installed ALL apps.

Which apps did you install to be exact?

[enoch85]

OK, I didn't install Full Text Search this time, and it worked. Will run it once more and see if that's the issue here.

[enoch85]

Yup, same error as last time. FTS script breaks the password change.

@Ark74 Please have a look at this. Indexing FTS does something nasty with the shell.

Frst hit on Google, didn't read: https://www.tecmint.com/fix-passwd-authentication-token-manipulation-error-in-linux/

[Ark74]

Weird.
Sounds like a printf "\n" is being passed to password change.

I'll have a look later today.

[enoch85]

@Ark74 I made some minor changes to the any_key function and corrected some vars. I don't know if it fixed it, but you could try.

Hi Guys,
thanks for your fast response.
I installed: Talk, Collabora, Full-Text-Search, Password-Manager
Allow one more question: Do I have to repeat whole installation from the scratch if this issue will be fixed or is it possible to finish VM installation properly by manual investigation?

Fresh install would be no problem but Let's encrypt will soon block my domains for a while because of too much tries :-)

Thanks for your appreciated work!
Best regards,

@nxtester Full Text Search is the failing one here.

Allow one more question: Do I have to repeat whole installation from the scratch if this issue will be fixed or is it possible to finish VM installation properly by manual investigation?

I'd recommend a clean install for a clean experience.

As I've changed some $vars and functions, could you please try again without enabling SSL? Just do a local installation with only Full Text Search to see if the issue is solved.

Thanks!

[nxtester]

OK, tried it but script stopped by error before SSL part:

Thanks!

[enoch85]

@nxtester It fails because the curl command isn't run and the vars and functions isn't imported. You're testing it the wrong way.

Can you please tell me how you did the test?

[Ark74]

@enoch85 did you enable debug by default?

[enoch85]

@Ark74 No?

[Ark74]

Weird installing fts (default) the output seems like debug ON.

[Ark74]

Ok, I can confirm that latest master keeps looping the "passwd: Authentication token manipulation error".
Looking into it.

Hello Guys,

I simply tested it by running your script according to https://github.com/nextcloud/vm.
Please tell me if I should test it by a different way.

Greetings

[enoch85]

Yup, I fixed it!
