I appreciate the email â that install path is pretty much exactly what Iâve been following.  I had a condor instance running on Scientific Linux a few years ago and had to switch over to Ubuntu. 

 

With everything installed and running, Iâm now running into an authentication error that doesnât quite make sense.

    Hi Nathan,
    
    Ugh, looks like the installer had a problem on Ubuntu.
    
    The problem is directory /var/lib/condor does not exist.  That
    prevented the condor_startd from starting, which explains why
    condor_status did not show any execution points, and also explains
    why your submitted test job sat idle waiting for an execution point
    to appear.
    
    On each execute node(s), you will need to shut down/kill HTCondor,
    and then create the directory as follows:
    
      root# mkdir /var/lib/condor
        root# chmod 0755 /var/lib/condor
        root# chown condor:condor /var/lib/condor
    
    Then start up HTCondor again.  When the condor_master launches, it
    will create the proper subdirectories inside of /var/lib/condor.
    
    We will fix up the installer right away for Ubuntu22 so next time
    someone tries this it should work.
    
    Thank you for reporting the problem,
    regards,
    Todd
