I was able to get this working by changing the password for the splunk user that was automatically created sudo passwd splunk, switching to the splunk user su splunk and then running /opt/splunk/bin/splunk start. It was only after this that I was prompted to create an admin username & pw

@davvore33 Please see my reply to that comment. You need to create an admin user (via user-seed.conf file or one of the other methods) first before launching Splunk for the first time. I will update the post-install output to mention this on the next update.

the problem with systemctl logged by @rabin is still there,

if you install this packet and just run "systemctl start splunk" it will mess with splunk user configuration.

the way around was to un-install and delete the entire /opt/splunk and install it back, after that i've run splunk$/opt/splunk/bin/splunk start and everything was fine

As a heads-up - the latest version of Splunk (9.0.0) includes a new version of the Python Readiness app that may conflict with an already-present version while upgrading. If you run into this, add --overwrite '/opt/splunk/etc/apps/python_upgrade_readiness_app/*' to your pacman (or AUR helper) arguments.

@maverick1 I just updated and converted the package to use modern sysusers and tmpfiles for user creation. If you wanna give it another shot, it should work for you now.

If you are referring to the Splunk login credentials, you will need to create those yourself: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.2.1/Security/Secureyouradminaccount

By starting Splunk using systemctl results in "No users exist. Please set up a user.". Nothing has worked yet.

@lb.laboon, thanks, I'll check it out.

I've been hitting that as well, although I thought it might've just been me since nobody said anything :D

I did a little experimenting and I think it might be because PKGBUILDs default to stripping debug symbols from binaries, resulting in the checksums differing. I just pushed a new version which disables that.

Shouldn't newer versions overwrite existing files? I had an issue with a bundled app, splunk_secure_gateway, that had file integrity issues. The files themselves were correct, however the FI DB complained about mismatched hashes. Once I extracted the tgz manual and overwrote all files, it went away.

@PhotonX

It sounds like some of the files in your installation may have gotten owned by the root user (or another non-splunk user). Try running chown -R splunk:splunk /opt/splunk and see if that fixes the issue.
