Error in TASK when installing LaMachine on Ponyland

[VirginiaMeijer]

Hello,

I tried installing LaMachine on Ponyland following the wikipage. The installation starts but quickly (within the first minute) runs into an error. I have added the log file and the error occurs that occurs:

lamachine-transformersLM.log

}

STDERR:

E: The list of sources could not be read.

MSG:

non-zero return code

I'm not sure what files the error refers so any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Ok, I implemented a fix now for situations in which this happens.

Moreover, I see you are installing on mlp01/applejack, this is probably NOT what you want. Install on any other pony and you can use your LaMachine installation from all ponies (except applejack), if you install on applejack you can only use it there. I'll update the wiki page to clarify that.

[VirginiaMeijer]

Okay, thanks for the clarification about applejack. You are right, that is not what I intended. I tried installing it on mistlane and after that on thunderlane and both times it throws this error directly after starting the installation:

ImportError: cannot import name _remove_dead_weakref

I tried activating the environment with the activate command and it does seem to open a LaMachine install but I get the following error. The environment also cannot be deactivated, only exited.

/vol/tensusers3/vmeijer/transformersLM/bin/activate: line 98: /vol/tensusers3/vmeijer/transformersLM/bin/activate.d/*.sh: No such file or directory

Is this a continuation of the previous error or is it something new? I didn't include the log files, because the log files only showed the errors I already copied above.

[proycon]

This may still have something to do with the earlier error still, could you completely remove the lamachine-controller/ directory and try installing from scratch?

[VirginiaMeijer]

I removed the folders and the installer started from scratch. I thought it was working, because it had been running and installing for about an hour. But, it ran into an error:

}

STDOUT:

I tried activating and updating the virtual environment but ran into the same error as earlier that the activation script couldn't be found. I attached the log file.
lamachine-transformersLM.log

Right, I should have warned you about that one. I ran across it on ponyland as well, though other systems seem fine. Please see #198 for a workaround until we find a more permanent solution.

[VirginiaMeijer]

I removed all folders and reran the install without labirinto and few cups of coffee later it has worked! Thanks for the help and quick replies
