Re: [HTCondor-users] ERROR: HTCondor cannot run under unlocked non-system account 'condor'

Hi Angel,

            getcondor script automatically creates a local condor user at the time of installation. You don't need to create it locally on the server.Â

So, it looks likeÂthis error is because a condor user already exists in AD.

So, just remove the locally created condor and also unbind the server from AD so that the installationÂscript doesn't detect the condor user in AD and start fresh installation. It should succeed then.Â

Thanks,

Gagan

Hello,

long time since the last time I installed HTCondor, and I'm now trying
it again, using the recommended get.hcondor script
(https://htcondor.readthedocs.io/en/v10_0/getting-htcondor/install-linux-as-root.html)

System is Ubuntu 20.04, and I'm doing:

,----
| curl -fsSL https://get.htcondor.org | sudo GET_HTCONDOR_PASSWORD="xxxxx"
| /bin/bash -s -- --channel stable --no-dry-run --central-manager
| xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
`----

but the installation fails with:

,----
| Setting up libcgroup1:amd64 (0.41-10) ...
| Setting up htcondor (10.0.1-1.1) ...
| ERROR: HTCondor cannot run under unlocked non-system account 'condor'
| dpkg: error processing package htcondor (--configure):
|Â installed htcondor package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

In this server we have a condor user with Active Directory, with a uid >
1000, which I assumed it was the cause of the error. So I created a
local condor system account, hoping it would solve the problem

,----
| $ id condor
| uid=11(condor) gid=1001(condor) groups=1001(condor),191(sieinv),2000(domain users)
`----

But after removing the half-finished installation and trying again, I
get the same error.

Is this something known? Any advice on how to get around it?

Thanks,
