2.5.0~S1754-1 does not start up for me

I ran an apt-get upgrade today against the snapshot repo and got
openHAB 2.5.0~S1754-1 (Build #1754)

Unfortunately the system does not start up.
There are no logs appended in /var/log/openhab2
systemctl says the process is running which I can confirm:

journald does not know anything besides:
Nov 12 14:40:13 smart-controller systemd[1]: Started openHAB 2 - empowering the smart home.

Anyone a quick pointer what to check or what might be wrong/how to analyze?
Alternatively any idea where to find earlier snapshots?
According to my apt log I had 2.5.0~S1733-1 before which was running at least still.

  • Platform information:

    • Release = Raspbian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)
    • Kernel = Linux 4.19.66-v7+
    • Platform = Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2
  • Issue of the topic: openhab2 does not start up; no logs in /var/log/openhab2

Have you opened an issue on GitHub?that is where snapshot issues belong.
Errors in snapshots are not unexpected. That is why they are labelled as unstable.

I wasn’t sure where to report but I will check github. Thanks for the pointer.

I would guess here.

I reverted now first to 1738 which failed for other reasons. Now I’m back to 2.5.0M4 and it basically works again.

FYI: I have snapshot 1754 up and running. But yes, there are significant changes in latest snapshots, especially in 1750 (Upgrade Karaf):
