FYI, I completed a clean install this morning. Ubuntu 18.10, ERPNext version 12. No errors during installation. No errors upon bench_start
Logged into http://localhost:8000, and completed the Setup Wizard.
First Attempt: Wizard failed for no apparent reason. Gave me option to “Retry”. So I clicked that.
Second Attempt: Wizard appeared to be working. The progress bar never moved. But my CPU was being utilized. So I patiently waited. Eventually, I was told the installation completed. However…my new user didn’t have access to DocTypes, and my browser refused to show any pages. Refreshing did not work. Browser page totally frozen.
Third Attempt: Closed my browser completely, and re-opening to http://localhost:8000. Was allowed to login as Administrator.
Conclusion:
Setup Wizard is still unreliable, broken, and only succeeds intermittently. Needs Rework.
