Installation of Riak under Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

I cant bring riak to work on Ubuntu 14.04. LTS using the bash instructions under http://docs.basho.com/riak/latest/ops/building/installing/debian-ubuntu/.

When running riak start I get:

riak failed to start within 15 seconds,
see the output of 'riak console' for more information.
If you want to wait longer, set the environment variable
WAIT_FOR_ERLANG to the number of seconds to wait.

When running riak console afterwards:

Exec:  /usr/lib/riak/erts-5.10.3/bin/erlexec -boot /usr/lib/riak/releases/2.1.3/riak               -config /var/lib/riak/generated.configs/app.2016.02.28.21.43.04.config -args_file /var/lib/riak/generated.configs/vm.2016.02.28.21.43.04.args -vm_args /var/lib/riak/generated.configs/vm.2016.02.28.21.43.04.args              -pa /usr/lib/riak/lib/basho-patches -- console -x

Any idea how to fix this? Installation has been done via apt-get. Default riak.conf. Riak version is 2.1.3.

This is a Riak error, not at all related to Ubuntu.

The error message indicates that the current name of the node does not match the name of any node in the ring file. This can happen if you start the node with a default configuration before configuring the node's name. See Note on changing the name value at http://docs.basho.com/riak/latest/ops/building/basic-cluster-setup/

If this is a singleton node, the simplest solution will be to delete the files in /var/lib/riak/ring (make a backup first). A new one will be created when you start the node.
