Thanks Chris, I decided to go ahead and install it in the template. I had tried that once and had another problem, tried it again, same thing. Once installed I can't access the folder where it was created, which was the /opt/splunk/ folder, check this: [user@fedora-24-work-splunk /]$ cd opt [user@fedora-24-work-splunk opt]$ ls google splunk [user@fedora-24-work-splunk opt]$ cd splunk bash: cd: splunk: Permission denied [user@fedora-24-work-splunk opt]$ sudo cd splunk [user@fedora-24-work-splunk opt]$ ls google splunk [user@fedora-24-work-splunk opt]$ So it didn't choke, no feedback, but I didn't get into the splunk directory... What's happening? Thanks, Patrick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
