first time login, logging in forever?

[JessALEs]

First off, installed correctly, I did change the Neo4j credentials to be neo4j - Neo4j opened bloodhound put those in and hit 'login'

its had a rotating circle around the button for about an hour. I made sure the console for neo4j was running properly. was there something I missed?

also going to add: I cant actually click the login button and have to press enter in the password box for it to work.

Login button I cant click, pressing enter lets you bypass the inactive button but you are stuck in a constant rotating state.
here the current status of it.
I did do apt update a few times

I had a similar problem with an existing installation. In the log file /var/log/neo4j/debug.log I had an error about authentication failing, even though my credentials were working in the browser.
I solved my problem by deleting neo4j and bloodhound, cleaning up all remaining files and starting over with a fresh installation.

I encountered this when upgrading neo4j from 3.5 to 4.4 along with upgrading BoodHound.

To elaborate a bit more on @nodauf's workaround, on Debian you can resolve this with:

dpkg -P neo4j # purge neo4j
rm -rf /var/lib/neo4j # delete databases (this seems to cause the problem, as simple purge doesn't help)
apt install neo4j # proceed with installation as described in the manual

Try using java version 11.0 on neo4j.
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 11)
