[Galaxy Tab S2 General] RagingHarry:
Well I've been fiddling all day to get it to work, ubuntu 17.* have been removed from the main ubuntu site, and using the the cdimage.ubuntu locations gave me the install iso's but ended in not properly working install repos of the needed apps.

So went for 16.04 after several attempts, every installs fine, setted everything up according the tutorials in the OP and checking my old info for setting up ubuntu VM (or full pc's) what i did in the past, those where the same since my last succesfull setting up build machines.

but in the end I had to use a "repo sync -f --force-sync" instead of repo sync before ./picks, otherwise it ended up with a ton of errors in running ./picks.

After that that being running good, and finally comming to build I end up after 50 to 60 seconds in

Tried resetting up the build VM now 6 times to find anything I could've done wrong, but cant find any, just end up at the same manner with this error.

Also made sure that Jack is setup properly ( https://xdaforums.com/android/software/aosp-cm-los-how-to-fix-jack-server-t3575179 ) and jack starts and stops, shouldn't that also solve the ninja problem? Soz my last home build was nearly 2 years ago and a lot could have been changed, but normally google is my friend to fix it, not this time..

Has anyone some advice what to look at?
