Fresh install, Ubuntu Server 12.10, git@localhost user password ??

[FLasH3r]

reopend here from gitlabhq (https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/issues/1859)

1. Fresh install of Ubuntu Server 12.10 with SSH Server (inside VMWare)
2. Following this guide: https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/stable/doc/installation.md
   1. apt-get install curl sudo
   2. curl https://raw.github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-recipes/master/install/debian_ubuntu.sh | sh

This command fails:
sudo -u gitlab -H git clone git@localhost:gitolite-admin.git /tmp/gitolite-admin

It requests for a password for the user git. I have no idea what the password it, in the entire process I was not asked to give one, and I could not find in the documentation any reason for this to fail.

The script just needs updating to handle the latest version of gitolite. This is a symptom of this.

[FLasH3r]

So is it fixed ?

[rob-mccann]

No, the script needs updating. I'll add a pull request of my quick fix later today but it just makes it use an old version of gitolite so it's only a temporary fix.

The same problem is already on Issue #16

@tvn87 Well he said 12.04 - I've tested it on 12.10, I'm not a linux expert to tell if that affects the install process or not.

Same problem for me.
ask for login/pass with first script install on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, and with a second install step by step on same machine, we have:

The expected folder does not exist
/home/git/gitolite/src/gl-system-install

Need help! :)

[FLasH3r]

@chat0v can you find the folder manually ?

find / -name "gl-system-install" -type d
just tell me if it works, I'm trying to fix the install file on my own and I'll post it back here fixed :-)

[rob-mccann]

#22 is a temporary fix for this issue.

Closing as GitLab now uses gitlab-shell
