but if the 3.0.15 version does not seem to me is the last one.

How can I update?

Hello,

does the problem get fixed?

#3

Hi, thanks for the reply. Do you know how to get extended logs?

#4

I tried a new installation, this is the log

there seems to be an error with a key How can I solve?

#5

Is the system running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Bionic or the older ubuntu with Xenial?

#6

Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Bionic

#7

@Pyramid: i guess you are using an old installation script.

Download the correct one and retry: https://deb.globaleaks.org/install-globaleaks.sh

#8

Tried now, same identical log.

#9

@Pyramid: right know, having used and old script (do you confirm this) you have to make a small change to rever a configuration performed by the old script.

Open the file /etc/apt/sources.list and remove every line containing ‘torproject’.

After that run the new script again and it should work.

#10

There was only one line to comment. Done. But the same problem persists

#11

Actually if the torproject lines is removed from any file in /etc/apt the error have to disappear.

Please try again and get sure to be using the latest install script.

#12

ok, I’m probably wrong to restart the script. I edit /etc/apt/sources.list and then launch ./install-globaleaks.sh and I get the error.
But if I return to /etc/apt/sources.list, the comment is deleted

#13

Now I installed it, but I always get the same message

“Ouch! The installation is complete but GlobaLeaks failed to start.”

#14

What the log does say in /var/globaleaks/log/ just after this startup failure?

#15

I run

/etc/init.d/globaleaks restart

I get

[ ok ] Restarting globaleaks (via systemctl): globaleaks.service.

I run

ls on /var/globaleaks/log

I get

globaleaks.log globaleaks.log.1 globaleaks.log.2 globaleaks.log.3 globaleaks.log.4 globaleaks.log.5

cat /var/globaleaks/log/globaleaks.log
cat /var/globaleaks/log/globaleaks.log.1
cat /var/globaleaks/log/globaleaks.log.2
cat /var/globaleaks/log/globaleaks.log.3
cat /var/globaleaks/log/globaleaks.log.4
cat /var/globaleaks/log/globaleaks.log.5

but no logs with today’s date

#16

which version is now installed? You can check with

dpkg -l | grep -i globaleaks

#17 
root@WB:~# dpkg -l | grep -i globaleaks
ii  globaleaks                            3.0.15                            all          Opensource whistleblowing platform.

and if I try to update it I get it

apt-get update && apt-get install globaleaks

.....


globaleaks is already the newest version (3.0.15).

Interesting, please paste the output of those commands:
uname -a
lsb_release -a
cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/globaleaks.list

Ah, basically there’s no globaleaks repository being added (there’s an old xenial, don’t know why), so there maybe a bug in the installation script.

Please do that commands and report the full output:

cd /tmp/
wget https://deb.globaleaks.org/install-globaleaks.sh
chmod +x install-globaleaks.sh
bash -x ./install-globaleaks.sh
cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/globaleaks.list
