Kalabox stalls before installation - add a pop up to inform user if Vagrant is above 1.5+

[ArjunaSoriano]

I am trying to install on my MBP running 10.9.4.

I have uninstalled Kalabox several times with both options but I still get this issue. When I hit, 'Box me' I get a window with the arrow image but nothing happens. On my other machine it immediately asks for an administrator password.

Here is the log:

Kalabox Log

2014-07-29T16:15:57.056Z - info: Existing VirtualBox installation, version 4.2.18 2014-07-29T16:15:57.057Z - info: Existing Vagrant installation, version 1.6.3 2014-07-29T16:15:57.057Z - info: VirtualBox not installed or wrong version. Installing.

I have tried without VirtualBox and Vagrant installed and I have also preinstalled both to try and skip where it hangs.

I have let it sit for several hours but it is not doing anything. The energy monitor shows that it is not using any significant energy.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

What kalabox version? is it possible that the admin password dialog is getting hidden behind the window?

[ArjunaSoriano]

I have been trying the Beta7 version. I had thought of that because windows sometime gets lost between my two screens but I am 99% sure it is not there. I have put it to full screen and closed all other windows and it is simply not there. Hope this helps.

almost positive this is stuck because its waiting for that dialog although not sure why it isn't loading. do you have an entry for kalabox in your keychain?

[ArjunaSoriano]

There is a Kalabox entry in the keychain.

[pirog]

If that resolves the issue are you guys using iCloud keychain?

[sbilde]

I think it almost worked..- Im getting stucked at this point for 10 min: http://d.pr/i/6YXl

[pirog]

10 minutes is def too long... are you seeing VirtualBox in your applications folder? What happens if you close and reopen?

[ArjunaSoriano]

So, it asked for a password this time but it is still getting stuck at the same point in the log:

2014-07-29T16:45:24.442Z - info: Existing VirtualBox installation, version 4.2.18 2014-07-29T16:45:24.443Z - info: Existing Vagrant installation, version 1.6.3 2014-07-29T16:45:24.443Z - info: VirtualBox not installed or wrong version. Installing.

Here is a screen shot of the window I am seeing: http://arjunasoriano.com/marketplace/Kalabox/screen.png

[ArjunaSoriano]

Oh and I am not using iCloud keychain.

[sbilde]

Im not using the iCloud keychain as well.

[sbilde]

If deleting the virtual box from the system (using the Uninstaller), and deleting the kalabox key in keychain, the installation is starting, and the progress bar moves until a certain point: http://d.pr/i/6YXl

If shutting down kalabox and start it again, I am getting the same error as Arjuna (both logo and screen)

[pirog]

@reynoldsalec @gremy do you think this is being caused by the previous version checking issue that resolved here https://github.com/kalamuna/kalabox/commit/c2bc580c3c39c591887b975236ecc4fa0a17af65 ?

[pirog]

@sbilde @ArjunaSoriano if you guys are feeling bold... i think this issue was resolved and should be in the next release so if you build from source and try it would be useful debug info https://github.com/kalamuna/kalabox/wiki/Contributing-to-Kalabox-V2#packaging-a-kalabox-binary-from-source

[sbilde]

@pirog Im definitely getting longer in the process now after deleting both the Virtual box AND the Vagrant already installed on my mac: http://d.pr/i/VRv

[ArjunaSoriano]

@pirog I will give it a try!

[pirog]

One thing that i did notice is we don't support Vagrant 1.5+ yet (see https://github.com/kalamuna/kalabox/issues/28) so if you have Vagrant already installed you'll def want to uninstall it first which you can do using option 2 in the uninstall.tool.

[sbilde]

Wuuup Wuup :) http://d.pr/i/U3UI

[pirog]

LOOKIN GOOD IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD!

[sbilde]

Just awesome with the Pantheon integration!! - Regarding the V2 of Kalabox for Mac..- Is it stable at this point, while you're working the the supportation of windows?

[pirog]

There actually is no V2 of Kalabox for ANYTHING yet... what you are using is V1 which is a "prototype" but we are committed to getting it as stable as possible while we co-develop V2.

[sbilde]

Sounds awesome!..- So glad I backed this project on Kickstarter..- So freaking cool, when managing all of our sites at out Pantheon One account..- Thanks for the help Mike..- And do ping me, if I in any way can help out with some testing.

[pirog]

Thanks so much for backing the project! You're awesome!

If you think V1 is cool V2 is going to BLOW YOUR MIND :)

[pirog]

I am going to roll a beta8 release later tonight so keep an eye on that as it may resolve this issue.

[ArjunaSoriano]

Great… Thanks. I haven’t had time to try the fix you suggested earlier. I will try beta8 before moving forward on that. Thanks again for the help.

Goign to close this out @ArjunaSoriano, feel free to re-open if you experience the same issue on beta8 and after trying the suggested fix.

[pirog]

@ArjunaSoriano have you tried this out at all?

I did noticed during a training this week that some people that had certain VB versions installed beforehand experienced this error. I'm going to reopen this... @reynoldsalec @gremy can you guys replicate this when trying to install with VB 4.2.18 already installed and vagrant not installed at all?

[ArjunaSoriano]

I was able to get kalabox labor installed with the latest beta. I haven't had the time to get much farther than this though. I tried to pull down my production site from Pantheon and it promptly filled up my HD, an issue that I will address this week.

Thank for all of the help.

Also can not get installed. I have VirtualBox and Vagrant installed (that I use separately). Looks like vagrant is version 1.6.3. So maybe that is the problem?

I see this same screen as show provided by a different user img. It just sits there (been an hour or so) after asking for admin password. Never asks me for approval of license or anything. Activity Monitor shows 0.0 cpu activity for the process. Makes no difference if I remove the key from the keychain and try again.

The installed VirtualBox is 4.3.12.

Ok, an update. I let it sit for about 7 hours, and still nothing. Heh.

[pirog]

@mmynsted there is a separate issue for vagrant 1.5+ support over here https://github.com/kalamuna/kalaboxv1/issues/28... @gremy may also have some insight on that particular issue.

i think its just getting hung on the version checking. Do you have an error log to post? should be at ~/.kalabox/kalabox.log?

[gremy]

@pirog Kalabox does not support newer versions of Vagrant and I don't really know if we should spend more time on adding support for the latest vagrant version, instead we should focus our efforts on developing Kalabox V2.

[pirog]

@gremy, yes i agree and im not sure if we will add this support in V1.

i guess i was not clear in my request here.... i recall you mentioning that you had installed Kalabox with 1.5+ successfully. If so, could you provide some of that wisdom here to @mmynsted?

[gremy]

I managed to fix the install for the latest VirtualBox version which was also broken. But it still fails to install Kalabox with the latest version of Vagrant.

[pirog]

ok awesome... good to know. does it fail in the same way that @mmynsted describes or could it be something else? may just want to add a warning so the user knows their version of vagrant is not compat?

[gremy]

I don't really remember how it failed. I'll have to try it again to check.

[mmynsted]

Here is the log. The same messages are repeated each time I have attempted to install.

I also subscribed to notifications for #28

How do you recommend I proceed? Uninstall Vagrant and or VirtualBox and perhaps not use my existing vagrant boxes and VirtualBox VMs until Kalabox V2? I looked a little, but likely not in the right place... but have you announced an estimated date for V2?

Looks like from @gremy's messages, that perhaps removing uninstalling Vagrant should be enough?

[pirog]

Yeah the easiest thing to do would be to run the uninstall.tool apackaged with the KBOX dmg and just use option #2. This will uninstall both VB and Vagrant so you will def want to export whatever VB appliances or Vagrant boxes you use outside of kalabox so you dont lose them.

For V2 we have a new, neutral github org https://github.com/kalabox

And a milestone schedule https://github.com/kalabox/kalabox/milestones

[mmynsted]

Thank you. It installed. :-)

[khawkins98]

Experienced the same symptoms and resolved by re-installing Virtual Box.

Installed/detected version of VirtualBox was 4.3.2 and I was having no luck. Updating and installing the latest 4.3.14 version seems to have resolved matters.

I did not need to uninstall Kalabox first.

Here's the before and after log for the curious:

I think Kalabox require VB4.3.6+ so this makes sense.

[upchuk]

Hey guys. So basically there is nothing one can do to install with vagrant 1.5+? I mean people use the Vagrant sharing capabilities and what not for other things so can't afford to downgrade. Does this mean essentially that you can't have kalabox if you want to use a good vagrant version? :)

Thanks!

[pirog]

The only thing that one could do currently is to contribute code to KALABOX1 to make it 1.5+ compatible. I think there is or was an issue for that somewhere. If I recall some initial research was done there on what this would take.

Beyond that we are all focusing our efforts on Kalabox2 at github.com/kalabox which will not use vagrant at all :) Releasing this in early 2015!

Hope that helps and sorry we can't handle your use case right now!

+1 wish you guys speedy progress on V2 so I can actually use it, because I don't want to uninstall vagrant or virtualbox

[pirog]

Yeah fair enough!

Making great progress on v2 and should have a CLI version out very soon.

AND IT WILL WORK ON WINDOWS AND LINUX!!!

If I read this correctly, it means I can't install Kalabox V1 because I have the latest versions of both vagrant and Virtualbox?
