Communications issue in sage after installing new package`sage -pip install --user ffmpeg` did not make the "`OSError: Error: ffmpeg does not appear to be installed.`" message go away
I am running a Docker instance of Cocalc on a Ubuntu 16 server. Everything was seems to be working great until but I was am trying to debug why sage -pip install --user ffmpeg
did not make the "OSError: Error: ffmpeg does not appear to be installed.
" message go away, even though it said it had been installed. Thinking it was a caching issue or something, I restarted everywhere that I could restart, however now I am not really able to use Sage at all because I keep getting Here is the message below. The thing is, Jupyter and the terminal work fine so it is not a network issue. Is there a way I could get more detailed logs? Thanks.full message.
