New install - Login screen blank

raider600

Hello, I installed XO from source. My login page looks like this.

My terminal window stops here and never completes. I let it sit here all night hoping it was doing something. But nothing happened. I know there is more to the process after you start it.

I have tried many times

git pull --ff-only
yarn
yarn build

rm -rf node_modules
yarn
yarn build

I nuked the other VM after the first time this happened. So this is the second clean VM and I'm stuck. It's definitely not started all the way but I don't know how to troubleshoot it. Any ideas?

Hi,

We need more logs (output from when you start xo-server) and also build logs ideally. What's your Node and npm version?

@raider600 I've seen the same login screen from time to time where it doesn't look correct.

I've rebooted the system to address the issue and it's always come up successfully.

@olivierlambert Thank you. I believe I found the server logs... I dont know where to find the build logs.

xo-server-logs --help, -h

    Display this help message.

xo-server-logs [--json] [--limit=<limit>] [--since=<date>] [--until=<date>] [<pattern>...]

    Prints the logs.

    --json
      Display the results as new line delimited JSON for consumption
      by another program.

    --limit=<limit>, -n <limit>
      Limit the number of results to be displayed (default 100)

    --since=<date>, --until=<date>
      Start showing entries on or newer than the specified date, or on
      or older than the specified date.

      <date> should use the format \`YYYY-MM-DD\`.

    <pattern>
      Patterns can be used to filter the entries.

      Patterns have the following format \`<field>=<value>\`, \`<field>\` or \`!<field>\`.

xo-server-logs --gc

    Remove all but the ${GC_KEEP}th most recent log entries.

xo-server-logs --delete <predicate>...

    Delete all logs matching the passed predicates.

    For more information on predicates, see the print usage.

xo-server-logs --repair

    Repair/compact the database.

    This is an advanced operation and should be used only when necessary and offline (xo-server should be stopped).

@DustinB Ive restarted a few times though no dice. It's almost like something isnt unpacking or running.

In the URL does it show /v6 at the tail end?

Im just using the ip address. no https either. So no i dont think it has a v6 at the end. but im also not 100% sure i know what you mean. lol

@raider600
I also had this issue some week ago
Unfortunately I don't remember what I did to fix it.
But I would try the --force option

I am running XO as root

sudo su -
cd ~/xen-orchestra/
git checkout .
git pull --ff-only
yarn
yarn build --force
yarn run turbo run build --filter @xen-orchestra/web
systemctl restart xo-server.service
cd

raider600

@ph7 Thanks for that. but it didnt work. funny when trying to restart the xo-server.service it fails and says service not found. Im only trying to get it to run with yarn start in the packages/xo-server dir. Here is a screen shot of the networking tab in the developer window of the browser. looks like its missing some stuff. hah

Danp

@raider600 The xo-server.service doesn't exist unless you create in yourself when using XO from sources. XOA takes care of this for you.

raider600

@Danp Well I dont think I ever got to that step. haha. This is bumming me out. I want to use XOA. But I need proof of concept before we buy it.

Danp

@raider600 You can always go to https://vates.tech/deploy and install XOA, then start a free trial to perform your POC.

nick.lloyd

@raider600 To piggyback off of DanP, they've been very good about extending our trial while we were evaluating our options to migrate off of VMware!

raider600

This is solved. What I ended up doing was installing ubuntu and doing the whole install as root. Thanks for the help, I hope I can use XOA in the future!
