KaliLinux-NICE-DCV CloudFormation CREATE_FAILED #6

Closed ruzickap closed 2 months ago

ruzickap commented 2 months ago

It seems like there is some problem with latest version of KaliLinux-NICE-DCV.yaml. When trying to deploy the CF template I got Status CREATE_FAILED.

Maybe error in /var/log/cloud-init-output.log:

Not sure...

Thanks for looking at it...

Thanks for reporting. This is an error installing nice-dcv-server package as per cloud-init-output.log

There is a conflict with libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0 which is part of gdk-pixbuf by libc-bin which is part of glibc. From what I can tell, gdk-pixbuf was updated this week 20th May while glibc was updated last week 15th May

As stated on cfn\README.md, Kali Linux is not supported by NICE DCV and may not work. Kali Linux is a rolling release, where there is a continuous stream of updates. While we may get it to work with older packages, this may break other applications. Perhaps a newer update may resolve this.

Make sense...

Thank you for a nice description :-)
