Hi OpenStackers! After a vacation I continue to get my first OpenStack work (one node guided install). What works: I managed to install OpenStack on Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS on an older DELL server with plenty of RAM and Disks I used Snap Install I can use horizon to create my VMs Problem: After I made a few instances from the Ubuntu templates with different flavors, I am Getting the status „ERROR“ for each of these instances. Trying to shutdown an instance I am getting an Error:  Questions: What is the best practice for troubleshooting regarding my installation type (single node, snap)? Where do I find log-files? Google brings different solutions, but the paths and files do not exist for my installation? I tried a few suggestions: Openstack instance generating status error – Fix it now <https://bobcares.com/blog/openstack-instance-generating-status-error/> ( /var/lib/nova/ and /var/lib/nova and /var/log/libvirt/qemu do not exist ) I found: ~snap/juju ~snap/openstack ~/snap/openstack$ ls -ahl total 20K drwxr-xr-x 5 webmen webmen 4.0K Aug 13 10:54 . drwx------ 4 webmen webmen 4.0K Jul 24 13:59 .. drwxr-xr-x 4 webmen webmen 4.0K Jul 19 12:53 576 drwxr-xr-x 4 webmen webmen 4.0K Jul 19 12:53 577 drwxr-xr-x 4 webmen webmen 4.0K Jul 17 12:16 common lrwxrwxrwx 1 webmen webmen 3 Jul 24 10:04 current -> 560 The link "current —> 560 has no target here!
