Can't start on Odroid XU4 with user openhab

slaboure · December 23, 2015, 10:21pm

Hello,

I’ve followed the guide to setup OpenHAB on an Odroid XU4 (Ubuntun 15.04) but it doesn’t work. After some debugging, I realize that I’m able to start it from the CLI under the root user, but when trying to start it with systemd (which operates under user openhab:openhab), it fails. The error I’m getting is this:

root@odroid:~# sudo -u openhab /usr/share/openhab/bin/openhab.sh -o
An exception occurred while writing to the platform log:

<title>Invalid Configuration Location</title>Locking is not possible in the directory "/var/lib/openhab/workspace/org.eclipse.osgi". A common reason is that the file system or Runtime Environment does not support file locking for that location. Please choose a different location, or disable file locking passing "-Dosgi.locking=none" as a VM argument. 
Unable to create lock manager.

I’ve tried to “chown -R openhab:openhab /var/lib/openhab/workspace/org.eclipse.osgi” but that didn’t help

Any guidance is appreciated, thanks.

The “No space left on device” error implies that the file partition where /var/log is stored is out of space or perhaps the openhab user doesn’t have permission to write to /var/log.

Perhaps the other errors are related. Is your disk full?

Rich, thanks for your answer, the problem was indeed very dumb… I have a 32Gb card but the default Ubuntu root partition is configured to only use 4Gb. So i used the odroid-utility program to extend it and it started with no problem. Thanks for the guidance Rich.

Cheers,
