Web-UI not letting me create servers

Axem · June 18, 2016, 3:23pm

I just tried to install MineOS on my fileserver. I had installed Turnkey Fileserver on it a few months ago and I went through the steps listed here: http://minecraft.codeemo.com/mineoswiki/index.php?title=MineOS-node_(apt-get)

And the end result was something similar to this: [SOLVED] Web-UI will not allow creation of servers and Web-UI looks broken with the template naming conventions. But doing the “npm install userid” didn’t seem to fix the problem.

Here are some hopefully helpful lines from the log file: http://pastebin.com/d18nDcms

Thanks in advance for any help!

uncaughtException: groupname not found",“timestamp”:“2016-06-18T15:05:17.431Z”}

Does your logged-in user have a primary group associated with it?

Check in the command line: groups and ensure it is not empty.

Yeah, the primary group is ‘users’, I’ve got a secondary group attached to it too but even if I make a new user that only has ‘users’ as a group, it still doesn’t work as expected.

Something isn’t working as expected with groups. The traceback is calling out the following line 237:

(/usr/games/minecraft/server.js:237:19)",

This line directly relates to figuring out the GID of your username:

    },
    function(body, cb) {
      collection.handler(profile_dir, body, cb);
    }
  ], function(err, output) {
    if (err || typeof output == 'undefined')
      logging.error("Unable to retrieve profile: {0}. Please check your internet connectivity.".format(key));
    else {
      logging.info("Downloaded information for collection: {0} ({1} entries)".format(collection.name, output.length));
      profiles = profiles.concat(output);
    }
    outer_cb(err);
  }); //end waterfall
} else { //for profiles like paperspigot which are hardcoded
  async.waterfall([
    function(cb) {
      collection.handler(profile_dir, cb);
    }
  ], function(err, output) {
    if (err || typeof output == 'undefined')
      logging.error("Unable to retrieve profile: {0}. Please check your internet connectivity.".format(key));

What happens when you type this in from the command line:

node
var userid = require('userid')
userid.gid("username")

Change username to your actual username. Does this throw an error?

Yeah, I get…

Are you sure joel has a primary group? Or that the assigned group id for the user refers to a currently existing group?

What is the output from id joel at the console?

Axem · June 19, 2016, 1:32am

I’m reasonably sure its apart of a real group. (I’m not a Linux expert though so I could be missing something) The webmin panel has ‘users’ as Joel’s primary group there.

And here’s the console output.

$ id joel uid=1000(joel) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),1000(joelplex)
