@olivier Any reason the first two lines error out on your end?

@brandon This looks like another git problem. The npm install script wants to download a couple things from git, which fail and cause the rest of the script to fail.

brandon

@travisdh1 I have no idea.... network connection is fine...

Dashrender

can you manually fetch those two gits that fail?

brandon

@Dashrender Okay must I run:
git fetch -a origin (git://github.com/fizzed/font-mfizz.git)
git fetch -a origin (git://github.com/gulpjs/gulp.git)

but after that I need to rerun npm install then it will bomb out again?

Danp

@brandon May want to read this thread for some possible solutions.

Interesting - so he possibly has an application filtering firewall that is blocking git calls.

See @BRRABill, a change of git: to https: gets around the filtering in this case - application filtering, rarely worth the expense.

I wonder if it would be easier for "us" to simply build an appliance version of XO and offer that as a direct download.

Maybe XOS?

Danp

@DustinB3403 No thanks. I'll leave that to @olivier and crew.

olivier

In any case, you'll hit the same issues: you can't guess what's inside the user network. Believe me, you don't want to spend your non-working time making support for free because someone forgot there is a proxy between their Xen Orchestra installation and outside.

edit: I think I have roughly some stats on support, at least half of the time is related to user configuration issues.

edit2 : my 2 cents on the current issue: not enough RAM to build npm packages.

DustinB3403

@olivier and @danp it was a joke regarding the issues that @brandon is having. I don't want to get into that bed....

olivier

@DustinB3403 no worries, you can try The problem is not an appliance vs a script anyway

DustinB3403

@olivier oh I know it's a PEBCAK issue.

LOL - he's already doing that.

olivier

@DustinB3403 Not especially, it could be a lot of various things related to the user network installation, etc.

olivier

@Dashrender it was just an example, is it the issue here? If it's the case, it's accidental

brandon

I allocated 4gb of ram to the vm....

After opening the firewall and git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://

This is now my error :

PEBCAK means Problem exist between chair and keyboard.

Meaning anything that the user is in control of. Aka himself and network.

olivier

@DustinB3403 Sometimes the user is not aware of the network (if working in teams, net admin etc.)
