Issue install proxmox on Debian Jessie

[Pixie]

Hi there,

I'm new but I've install Proxmox sucessfully on Debian Jessie once before but had to reinstall my server and now I'm stuck.

I've followed this guide: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Jessie

I get the following error:
Setting up pve-firewall (2.0-31) ...
Failed to get D-Bus connection: Unknown error -1

My etc/hosts file has the following entries although I've changed this many times to try resolve the issue but I can't figure it out:

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost
#127.0.1.1 debian-house.pixie.net debian-house
192.168.0.100 debian-house debian-house pvelocalhost

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
#::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
#ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
#ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

I've uninstalled network-manager and my /etc/network/interfaces file looks like this:

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

#proxmox interface

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.1


#iface eth1 inet static
# address 192.168.0.101
# netmask 255.255.255.0
# network 192.168.0.0
# broadcast 192.168.0.255
# gateway 192.168.0.1


#DNS Config

#dns-nameservers 192.168.0.1


Any help would be appreciated as I've spent a few days now going around in circles - I remember I had similar issues before but I can't find my notes from my last install

Thanks in advance!!

Hi,
I had a similar problem installing on jessie,
for me the problem was that a service installed (maybe pve-firewall but i'm not sure...)
was masked and didn't start , so that the post-installation script failed and the dependencies were not satisfied

Try
journalctl -xn
and see wich service doesnt start
then google for "service masked"
I had to remove a symlink that prevented the service to start.

at the end apt-get -f install and all worked

Hope it helps.....

Thanks Pierluca - I had tried uninstalling then unmasking pve-firewall and then reinstalling but it still presented the same error, how unmasking then continuing the install cracked it.

systemctl unmask pve-firewall.service was the command needed.

Got to the web login and now I've got a Connection error 401: can't open '/etc/pve/authkey.pub' - No such file or directory... I think this is a known issue but if anyone know's how to correct it then that would be really helpful.

Cheers,
Adam

Never mind - cracked it:

# rm /etc/pve/priv/authkey.key
# pvecm updatecerts --force

Then restart - the web service takes a while to come up though after forcing the new certs to be generated!

Thanks again
