There is a bug open for this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/devstack/+bug/1248923
I left some comments on the bug, but most notable is that right now devstack is just plain broken if you enable novnc, so the only workaround would be to disable that entirely. A "disable-service n-novnc" in localrc should do the trick until this is fixed (I also submitted a fix that will enable installing novnc from git again, but until that merges, NOVNC_FROM_PACKAGE=False doesn't work either). -Ben On 2013-11-08 05:42, Krishanu Dhar wrote: > "screen -x stack" should give you the clue as to why it's failing.
