Expedition Hangs on first login with gui credentials.

[Darric]

Expedition hangs on the first login using Default GUI credentials using Firefox.  It just sits there and spins in the browser

have you tried to update to latest version 1.0.106?

[Scott-Carlile]

I'm having the same issue.

Also -- when I run:

   sudo apt-get install expedition-beta

I get the following message:
    expedition-beta is already the newest version (1.0.105).

Is there a 1.0.106 -- and if so, what should I do to install it?

Thanks,

[alestevez]

before to run the apt-get install expedition-beta you have to run

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install expedition-beta

[peter.k.wong]

Tried that but still doesn't pull the latest 1.0.106

Try this:

sudo apt-get autoremove

--> the above will remove any update packages.

Try the update again:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install expedition-beta

Also, after the update is installed you will want to edit the files using the settings below. This may fix your log in issues:

The below change is needed to allow Expedition to import configuration files larger than 5 MB.

PHP:

Edit couple parameters from php.ini located at:

sudo vi /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini

Modify:

post_max_size = 250M

upload_max_filesize = 250M

restart the Apache with

sudo systemctl restart apache2

The below change should resolve your log in error message.

Write the changes with ^O and exit nano with ^X

2- php.ini for CLI

You can't upgrade Ubuntu.  You have to restore from a clone or snapshot or rebuild the VM from scratch.

Yeah I learned the hard way.  There was also a post by Albert (founder of Expedition) that at this time we should ignore the Ubuntu upgrade.

I just experienced this issue and realized i had mistakenly upgraded to Ubuntu 18.x. I blew the VM away and started over and it works like a charm! Avoid the distro upgrade.
