Hello Szél,

if installed packetfence about one month ago.
My apt-get install also stopped at some point. I realized it was our firewall.
To verify that pls go to this folder and try to download the biggest files with 
ur browser:
http://www.inverse.ca/downloads/PacketFence/debian/pool/stretch/p/packetfence/

when it takes a long time to download it that would be the case. Maybe u have 
to turn ur firewall off or build ur own intern Repository.

I dont think the mysql error is such a big deal cause u have to set the 
mysqlpassword in packetfence configurator.

In case it is not a firewall problem, maybe u should download a full debian iso 
and install it the old way without desktopenvironment

With my own Repo everything works properly

Hope this could help u

Sebastian

P.S. Dont forget after debian installation to turn off apparmor

Betreff: Re: [PacketFence-users] PF 9.1 clean install problem

Hi MJ,

we tried again with clean install, the next steps:

- VM on Proxmox (KVM, 8 core, 16Gb RAM, 3 disk for VM)
- boot from curren debian 9 netinstall ISO
- one network interface, static IP address
- use deutschland debian APT mirrors (but prev. installs I used Hungarian 
mirrors)
- seperated mount points for /, /var, /usr (20G, 30G, 20G), ext4 FS
- with installer tools install "standard system utilities" and SSH server, no 
other
- debian installer finish, reboot
- apt-get install dirmngr (it has been installed previous installations!)
- add inverse, repository, keys and apt update|upgrade
- last step, apt-get install packetfence
- waiting ... :)
- after ~10 minutes, apt "finished", but packetfence packate installation is 
broken.

I have no idea, this is very simple task, I don't understand the mistakes.

I'll attach some logs:
- installer console log - https://megosztasom.hu/s/ZRbq7TgyMeDFaz2
- syslog - https://megosztasom.hu/s/cWM6rPbMGRWGMKm
- packetfence.log - https://megosztasom.hu/s/Q2sj6nAxAp58KzS


When you look at the logs, you see myssql error.
I think this is a main problem, the packetfence package installer not setting 
mysql.
No database, no user, nothing.

Hi Szél Gábor,

Just for the record: just did a 9.1 test install, using fresh minimal debian 9, 
and the instructions on 
https://packetfence.org/support/faq/how-to-install-packetfence-on-debian.html

Instructions are missing a step:
> apt-get install dirmngr

During the install, there were many errors like:

Could not write namespace resource::all_cluster_hosts() to L2 cache !
Could not write namespace resource::all_cluster_servers() to L2 cache !
.....
Could not write namespace interfaces::management_network() to L2 cache !

But everything installed fine, and the configurator was listening.

Step 2, Networks:
This was the usual frustrating experience, with interfaces often loosing their 
configured type & configuration, after edits in another interface, so you are 
forced to keep making the same edits, before being able to click next. But it 
basically does work.

Step 3, Database:
- click test, and were offered to set a mysql root password
- provided *again* the root password, and it created the pf database
- also the user pf was created successfully

The rest was just next, next, and everything worked perfectly.

So your problem is something specific to what you are doing, and the procedure 
works fine. Only complaint, being: it would be nice if the network 
configuration step would behave a bit more consistantly...

I think this is a normal way.
But, I dont know what is wrong on my install.
We dont install any package, only default clean install. We dont make any 
settings.
After debian clean installation we add packetfence APT repo, and a try to 
install packetfence with apt.

I think current packetfence debian package is broken :(

I was trying to find an older packetfence debian package, but I couldn't find 
it.
