Ubuntu Server Install Error

if i run
systemctl start mineos
it give me error:
Job for mineos.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See “systemctl status mineos.service” and “journalctl -xeu mineos.service” for details.
Can you help. Im new to linux

Hi.
Did you run the reccomened commands? “systemctl status mineos.service” and “journalctl -xeu mineos.service” are log-viewers that show you status and any error message that pop up in your system logs for the mineos service.

Please try: systemctl status mineos
This will check to see if MineOS is already running

So far all I can answer is that something is making MineOS stop when trying to start. It might be a lot of reasons, like MineOS already running, missing files, problems with file access, missing dependencies and so on.

been trying to fix this for 4 days after a hardware fail and i cant see the problem need fresh eyes on how to fix this i probably just`` overlooking it

Hi.
It looks like your node install has failed.

Please try the following:

cd /usr/games/minecraft
npm install --unsafe-perm

If that commands fails wit missing node please try:

sudo apt update
sudo  apt -y install nodejs

then try

npm install --unsafe-perm

again

A note about --unsafe-perm:
This is because MineOS is reliant on some old node modules and crash if newer versions are used. Node throws a fit when MineOS tries to install the old ones and refuses, so we have to tell it we actually want them.

hay thanks i see what you mean now i wounder when this will be fully updated to not need so much modding to get work i dont remember having to do this much work the last time i installed O well still a great tool
