    I failed to install my Odoo 11 Last time two weeks ago. Thx u for ur tutorial and help, because this is the closest step that I have ever reached.

    I run into password problems in Step 10.
    System gives me the following messages right after I issuing commands in Step 10.

    odoo@ubuntu:~$ sudo mkdir /var/log/odoo <== my command
    [sudo] password for odoo:

    After several trials, I got
    sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts

    And I have to abort the installation process. (PS: I am a new user to this ubunto+odoo system. Please forgive me if I ask a stupid question.) I wonder where it went wrong.

        Thank you very much. All thanks to you. My login user password has been reset and the problem is solved. Really appreciated!
        Everything goes so well, until I practice the odoo 11 installation process on a 2nd system (they are all with the same kind of hardware equipments) just to make sure that I can repeat the process.

        It shows that the 1st machine once lived now encounter an internal server error. The following is the message:

        “The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there is an error in the application.”

        But the 2nd machine gets her chance to be successful when I hit http://localhost:8069 in the browser. I appreciated your command since they did work. And I need your advice about my first machine. Could I use the same E-mail for two different machines. Will that be a problem?

    I was stuck at the start of Step 9
    cd /opt/odoo
    I got no such file or directory.
    I manually created it but it didn’t work because /opt/odoo/odoo will be missing at the end of the process.

    I followed all the steps and repeated several times but end up with the same results.

    Hilarous, i made it working on Win10 with Ubuntu 16.04 WLS !!! The only missing part was to exit the postgres user and manually start the server by typing: “sudo servive postgresql start”.

    The other thing was missing dependencies on the wkhtmltoolbox install. I fixed that by installing all manually:

    “sudo apt-get -f install libxrender1 libjpeg-turbo8 libfontconfig1 fonts-dejavu-core ttf-bitstream-vera fonts-freefont-ttf gsfonts libfontenc1 libxfont1 x11-common xfonts-encodings xfonts-utils gsfonts-x11 fontconfig-config libfontconfig1 fontconfig”
