## Reconfigure is stuck when re-installing GitLab
824+
825+
Because of a [known issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/-/issues/7776), you can see the reconfigure process stuck at
826+
`ruby_block[wait for logrotate service socket] action run` after uninstalling GitLab and trying to install it again. This problem occurs when one of the `systemctl` commands are
827+
not executed when [uninstalling GitLab](installation/index.md#uninstall-the-linux-package-omnibus).
828+
829+
To resolve this issue:
830+
831+
- Make sure you followed all the steps when uninstalling GitLab and perform them if necessary.
832+
- Follow the workaround in [issue 7776](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/-/issues/7776).
