Hi all,
If you failed to launch the controller and the error message is as the following picture, please refer to this post:
What to Do when Your Controller Reports Exit Code while Starting?
Hi @Shoresy
Thank you for your feedback.
The configuration setting for cloud access however should be able to be modified by both cloud and local user Main Administrators, rather than just by the local main admin.
>>>Do you mean the cloud access switch? It is reasonable to not allow to click this button when logged in via cloud, otherwise, cloud users will be disconnected if disable this button.

The main cause of the error is usually the direct execution of the .deb file without properly installing it using the Debian package management tools. The .deb file needs to be installed with the dpkg or apt utility, not run directly as a script.
