Does this happen and startup and when you try to perform any action within CKAN? If so I'm having the exact same issue.

[CrawdadCletis]

Yes, this happens for me on startup. If I hit "Continue", it happens again and again for most actions in CKAN (select a mod, update, etc).

If I switch to another ckan install, it stops happening. If I change my default ckan install (so that the bad one isn't automatically loaded when I startup), then it doesn't happen at startup any more.

Hello. I am having what appears to be the same issue on Linux Debian Testing:

CKAN VERSION: v1.22.1-0-g174271a (beta)

Operating System: Debian Testing: 4.8.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.8.15-2 (2017-01-04) x86_64 GNU/Linux

MONO Version: Mono JIT compiler version 4.6.2 (Debian 4.6.2.7+dfsg-1)

The issue you are experiencing:
CKAN.ModuleNotFoundKraken: Exception of type 'CKAN.ModuleNotFoundKraken' was thrown When I try to start CKAN.exe The program then fails to start. I do notice that the Window frame of the GUI starts to render just before the error is thrown and the program crashes.

EDIT: This appears to be a gui issue - CKAN command line appears to work just fine.

CKAN was working this morning with out issue.

Thanks for taking the time to look at this.

Here is the terminal output:

Hello again-

I think I might have a fix/workaround for my issue, although I have no clue as to why it works. Since the command line works, I started playing around with the command line. I ran:

mono ckan.exe update

I got the following response:

Downloading updates...
Updated information on 683 available modules

I then tried to launch the GUI from the command line
and the GUI launches properly with out error.

I exited the program and ran
mono ckan.exe
and the program loaded the gui. No errors thrown. Refreshing the repo data seemed to have fixed the issue, although I have no idea why.

I hope that helps

[CrawdadCletis]

The workaround from denyasis works for me too. After doing the "ckan update" from the command line, I can safely launch the GUI again. Good job with the workaround!

[rymonte]

Worked for me too. Hopefully this is just a blip and not a problem that's going to recur.

[politas]

This might be worth adding to the Troubleshooting guide

[politas]

And that's done. Thanks for the investigation, @CrawdadCletis, and thanks for the confirmation, @rymonte!

[Yous34]

no need to use mono, i got the same issue,i'm using win 10 64-bits, i went to the folder where ckan is (my descktop), shift+rmb open Command Window Here, and i typed ckan update and now it works fine

[Shirkit]

On my case, I had to delete the Ground Construction mod before the ckan update made through the end, it was crashing on the middle of the process.

[yin]

Same here, the fix helps

[Starslinger909]

Im having the Same issue on Windows 10. It seems to not let me start it up, I get the console error and a message saying:
Unhandled exception:
CKAN.NotKSPDirKraken: Could not find KSP version in buildID.txt or readme.txt
at CKAN.KSP.CkanDir()

[HebaruSan]

Hi @Starslinger909, that's a different problem. The people having this issue were missing the available modules list, whereas you have a problem with your KSP folder. Try the workaround discussed in #2275 to reset your path to KSP.

Yous34's comment from 20 Jan fixed the issue for me as well. Awesome, thanks kindly! :-)
