OpenDevin can't `apt install`

[robshox]

I'm getting these kinds of 127 errors

Command sudo apt update && sudo apt install nodejs npm -y executed with exit code 127.

ODevin Can write to the file system on my machine but anything got to do with downloading or running packages I believe in the sandbox won't work. I think this has got to do with the fact I'm on Windows but I thought the backend had it's own Docker setup with Linux.

Hmm...this should be solved since we started running Devin as root.

Are there any error messages besides this?

Also--it would be helpful if you could fill out the issue template

I was playing a bit eith this and getting the same error, I am not sure who is the responsible to run the command, the planner or the code agent, I had modified the templates to set examples and explicit instructions to use sudo when system packages installation is required, but not luck. I am not sure if it would be better to just set the user of the sandbox as superuser so the prompt can be simpler assuming that capability comes from the system.

somehow this approach feels better to me because if I want to give privileges to the ai assitant it should come from the system as an permission or so... but having an assitant that can become super user when it wants... it is kind of dangerous.

same issue.

@andrescevp @AmerDinar Are you also running on Windows like the OP?

Using it with Ubuntu

[andrewparry]

Maybe this helps? This is the error message I observe with Ubuntu.

ACTION:
CmdRunAction(command='sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y cppcheck', background=False, action=<ActionType.RUN: 'run'>)

A fix for that has just been merged, @andrewparry , please update.

Ok updated, I see the command now being run without sudo, but fall into this error, from Opendevin terminal:

$ apt update && apt install clang-tidy -y

Same error for me, trying to install sqlite3:

@andrewparry @kroggen Apparently this is a Docker problem. I'm having some success editing the docker file and adding:

ARG SSL_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD USER root USER 1001

Looks like:

FROM ubuntu:22.04 ARG SSL_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD USER root '#' install basic packages RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \ curl \ wget \ git \ vim \ nano \ unzip \ zip \ python3 \ python3-pip \ python3-venv \ python3-dev \ build-essential \ openssh-server \ sudo \ && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* USER 1001 RUN service ssh start

Also, adding in sandbox.py:

USER_ID = 1001

before commenting out:

if config.get_or_none('SANDBOX_USER_ID') is not None: USER_ID = int(config.get_or_default('SANDBOX_USER_ID', '')) elif hasattr(os, 'getuid'): USER_ID = os.getuid()

[andrescevp]

working for me on Ubuntu, thanks guys!

Thanks, that fixed it for me, but it was exec_box.py and not sandbox.py.

I believe this is fixed now that everything is running in a consistent sandbox with RUN_AS_DEVIN=false
