Hey folks. I just found this thread after creating my own (sorry for the duplicate, it can be found here: Clean install, no GUI access?).
I’m having the same issue. I cannot SSH into the machine (it just hangs), but if I run the command locally it says the following:
"rockstor.service - RockStor startup script
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/rockstor.service; enabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
Dependency failed for RockStor statup script"
I don’t know about the other poster, but mine is a clean install of 3.8-9.02 booting from USB.
