I am trying to install SQL Server 2019 Developer Edition on Ubuntu 20.04 by following - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/linux/quickstart-install-connect-ubuntu?view=sql-server-ver15

The setup fails at sudo /opt/mssql/bin/mssql-conf setup

And the errorlog logs below message. I dont get it. What parameter is incorrect? We only have to execute the above to start the setup.

Earlier, I did the install on a fresh ubuntu 20.04. Later, I did a sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade. And then started the sql installation. This time I did not get any issues.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
