Hello, I think I'm very close to having Aegir-up running on my Ubuntu machine. I'm hoping to use it to test platform builds and sites before deploying to my live server. I'm getting an error during the build that I can't figure out, its below. If this looks like a common n00b mistake, please let me know. Thanks!

          This may take awhile, so please be patient.
          For more detail on the operations being run, edit settings.rb,
          and set 'verbose = 1'.

Hi there. I'm glad you're getting close to having Aegir-up running. Don't worry about something being a "common n00b mistake". If it were, I should either make it more intuitive, or at least document it better :)

So, as far as the problem you're facing goes, are you perhaps running commands as root? Aegir-up will mount the /var/aegir/ directory via NFS, and thus requires that the 'aegir' user's uid and gid in the VM, match your user's uid & gid on the host. Running 'drush aegir-up-user' will generate a ~/.drushrc.php file that contains your uid & gid, among other things. Perhaps check that it's accurate, and re-run the command to regenerate that, if not.

Thanks for that ergonlogic, you were correct, I was having trouble with drush unless I was root, but I got that part solved now. I've made sure the ~/.drushrc.php looks good, and has all my user info correctly. I also used "git config --global" to set my git name and email, thinking that was the issue. I am still getting the following errors that I cannot decipher. I did find changing the git username/email to something else in my .drushrc.php got rid of the first two errors... though I'm not sure why. Thanks for any info, its greatly appreciated

I'm not sure why the Git settings are failing.

For the next stuff, it's basically trying to find some files that don't exist; specifically, '.vimrc' and '.bash_aliases'. I'll add some checks for these in the next release. In the mean-time for this workspace, you can run:

touch ~/aegir-up/<workspace_name>/.config/files/.vimrc
touch ~/aegir-up/<workspace_name>/.config/files/.bash_aliases

This will create empty files that Aegir-up will pick up, and avoid the errors. To avoid this error on subsequent workspaces, you can run the same in your home folder (e.g., touch ~/.vimrc).

Finally, the installation of the Hostmaster site itself is timing-out. I've seen that occasionally recently, but I haven't figured out why yet. Re-running 'vagrant provision' usually shows that the install worked. Unfortunately, you probably won;t be given the one-time login link, in this case. So, you'll have to do something like the following:

$ drush aus <workspace_name>  ## This should log you in via SSH
$ sudo su aegir -s /bin/bash
$ cd ~/hostmaster-6.x-1.x/sites/<workspace_name>.aegir.local
$ drush uli

Status: Active » Closed (won't fix)

I'm closing this issue, since I'm cleaning up the queue for a 0.2 release based on drush-vagrant, and this is likely no longer relevant. Feel free to re-open, or better yet, post a new issue referencing this one, if needed.
