Hi everybody,

I am new to OpenHab and hope to get some help from you.

Harware : Raspberry Pi 3 - connected via ethernet
Install Image : openhabianpi-raspbian-201804031720-gitdba76f6-crc9e93c3eb (latest stable version)

I followed the online documentation for a basic installation.
The connection, ssh and the html access work.
When I go to the dashboard to start the initial setup and klick on any of the four packages - nothing happens…
What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi,

again - I found my stupid mistake:
I had to turn off my my scribt blocker (NoScribt) - which makes absolutly sens - now everything works like a charm.:slight_smile:

Thanks

I repost my post in another topic:

Hi,
I wanted to start from a clean installation, I downloaded the image file of openhabian and the installation constantly stops always, reporting:

Installing Java Zulu 32-Bit OpenJDK…

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file

tar: Child returned status 1

tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

FAILED

openHABian] Initial setup exiting with an error!

I try to install from openhabian-config but always error:

Installing Java Zulu 32-Bit OpenJDK…

$ wget -nv -O /tmp/openhabian.kOD2D/zulu8.tar.gz

http://: Invalid host name.

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file

tar: Child returned status 1

tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

FAILED

Is there an official solution to solve the problem or at the moment the installation with openhabian is impossible?
Thanks.

Dear Kai
I want to install openhab2 on windows 8.1, but karaf could not finish the installation at first time.

Hi, I am still a bit noob here and do apologise if I am raising this in the wrong place.
I have recently migrated from OH2.5 running on a Pi (openhabian) to OH3 on Synology Docker, so far so good. I did however just come across something which I thought might be worth bringing up to potentially add to the docker deployment (again sorry if i am in the wrong place for this).

On failing to ping a device outside of my LAN (using the OH network binding) I came across the necessity to

apt-get install iputils-ping

which allowed the Openhab Network binding ICMP and ARP capabilities. Would is iputils-ping something that could be added to the Openhab container deployment?

Regards
