14:00 <Webchat451> hello all... 1st time using this chat.. i have a possible issue with the latest version of ckan - when i first launch the program, it goes to update the repositories and takes an absolute age -- almost as though it's hung. if i terminate the task and reload though, it goes through the repository update almost immeadiately and loads the mod list nor

14:00 <Webchat451> mally. ckan has just started doing this recently

14:03 <DasSkelett> At which step is it hanging?

14:04 <Webchat451> as soon as it tries to update the repositories on program start

14:04 <DasSkelett> Okay, so "Updating repositories..." yes?

14:04 <Webchat451> yes

14:06 <DasSkelett> Hmmm...

14:07 <DasSkelett> Just to be sure, you said latest version of CKAN, it is v1.26.2 indeed?

14:07 <Webchat451> as i say, the program responds and updates the repositories straight away if i close it and re-run it. yes, i am using 1.26.2

14:10 <DasSkelett> Which OS are you on?

14:11 <Webchat451> windows 10 latest version

14:12 <DasSkelett> Okay. Do you now how to open a command prompt ("cmd") in the folder your ckan.exe is located (or navigate to it)?

14:12 <Webchat451> i do. yes

14:13 <Webchat451> i have an admin dos prompt open in the ckan folder

14:14 <DasSkelett> Doesn't need to be one with admin rights

14:14 <Webchat451> okay, changed to normal dos prompt window

14:15 <DasSkelett> Good. I'm just trying something, will take a minute

14:15 <Webchat451> okay - no worries

14:17 <DasSkelett> Can you try running "ckan.exe update --verbose" (maybe a few times) to see if that hangs up too? And if so, what the ouput of the last run was?

14:17 <Webchat451> okay i'll do it now

14:17 <DasSkelett> Thanks

14:18 <Webchat451> i take it i need to answer yes to re-install?

14:19 <DasSkelett> Yeah that happens if a mod changed their metadata since the installation. Answer yes.

14:19 <Webchat451> apparently it wants to re-install a mod due to the metadata being changed since the last update

14:20 <Webchat451> okay - it's completed that and is back at the command prompt

14:21 <DasSkelett> Okay, so first run was successful. Can you try another time?

14:21 <Webchat451> running now

14:22 <Webchat451> complete. no update(s) or changes

14:23 <DasSkelett> Hm well. Can you now start the CKAN GUI, i.e. just start it normally?

14:23 <Webchat451> yes

14:24 <Webchat451> ckan appears to operating normally now - repositories updated and mods loaded

14:24 <DasSkelett> Huh

14:24 <Webchat451> quitting and reloading to check

14:24 <Webchat451> yup - almost instant update and mod load

14:25 <Webchat451> that appears to have fixed it :D thank you

14:25 <DasSkelett> Ouh, would be great :)

14:27 <Webchat451> again, thanks for the help - ksp wouldn't be half the game it is without ckan

14:28 <DasSkelett> Just write again here if it happens again, I'm not really convinced that it is fixed :D

14:28 <Webchat451> okay - if the problem re-emerges, i'll pop back in

14:28 <DasSkelett> If nobody answers, open a issue on GitHub, see the links in the channel description

14:28 <DasSkelett> Yep, do that! You're welcome!

14:29 <Webchat451> good bye and again, thanks for the help
