microstack.cluster-server error on microstack.init --auto

[Abdul Subayu]

Hi. I installed microstack on arch linux through channel stable and it give me build 196. the installation process went smooth. but when i run the command microstack.init --auto. it give me this error:
sudo microstack.init --auto
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/snap/microstack/196/bin/microstack_init", line 11, in <module>

    raise subprocess.CalledProcessError(proc.returncode, " ".join(args))
subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command 'systemctl disable snap.microstack.cluster-server' returned non-zero exit status 127.

According to that, something went wrong with cluster-server service. so i try to look at it with status command, and that service is disabled/stopped (dead). :
● snap.microstack.cluster-server.service - Service for snap applicatio>
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/snap.microstack.cluster-serve>
     Active: inactive (dead)

i tried to start it and then run microstack init command again, but the error persist. i tried to enable the service then rebooted, the error still the same too.

Hello. Thank you for the bug report!

Would you run the following, and post the pastebin link?

journalclt -xe --no-pager -u snap.microstack.cluster-server | pastebinit

It looks like the error has to do with locale settings:

This might be automatically fixed by strict confinement (in progress here: https://review.opendev.org/#/c/706168/)

I'll loop back to this when the strict confinement work is merged, and confirm and/or do more troubleshooting.

Leaving a link to the WIP arch cloud images for my own purposes, as I want to add an Arch install to my MicroStack-in-MicroStack test cloud: https://linuximages.de/openstack/arch/

There was a significant rework of the related portion of MicroStack -> setting to incomplete to for tracking in case this appears again.
