ERPnext initial setup not complete?

I have the exact same issue. After I get this message, the session hangs. It does not continue. I did the following:

  1. Installed the preconfigured VM in Virtualbox, followed instructions: no issues.
  2. Installed a clean version of Ubuntu Server (in VM) and installed ERPNext on top of it, following the online instructions. I encountered the above mentioned issue for the first time
  3. Installed the preconfigured a second time in VM. I still have the issue.

Based on the above, I think it’s a browser issue or something, but I’m not the expert here.

Please help us fix this issue.
