I get an error from sub-process? Sorry for the slow reply!

Sorry I have actually fixed it since then, I went into the scripts which had errors and commented the “run” commands out and then removed Landscape, everything is running fine now. Thanks for the help!

Hi @XenoWarrior,

This looks like the upstream package is broken. You can try something like dpkg-reconfigure landscape-server, but if this doesn’t work, your best bet is to try and purge the package (apt-get purge landscape-server) and try again. I did see a number of items on the web about a postgres database being required and not properly being created, so we can try that next if these steps don’t fix the problem.

Looks like landscape is already installed:

root@projectge:~# sudo apt install landscape-server-quickstart
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
**landscape-server-quickstart is already the newest version.**

maybe try this:

sudo apt-get update&&sudo apt-get upgrade

Not sure what you mean. When I installed Landscape, I used “apt-get install landscape-server-quickstart” as said on Canonical’s Landscape website.

Did you have to use a third party PPA for this install? Can you share what that was?
