I get this:

Any ideas gratefully received.

Thanks

Do as you’re told.
Set debugmode=maximum in /etc/openhabian.conf and retry.

4994james · June 17, 2020, 9:39pm

Thanks. I think this is the relevant output but it doesn’t mean a huge amount to me:

Nah that’s not of importance. You would need to post the whole output. Use code fences.

And if you just want to change anything about your config edit the files in /etc/amanda/openhab-dir/*

Apologies. Here is the entire debug output in the correct code fence:

### new parameters in `openhabian.conf`
See `/etc/openhabian.conf` for a number of new parameters such as the useful `debugmode`, a fake hardware mode, to disable ipv6 and the ability to update from some repository other than the default `master` and `stable`.
In case you are not aware, there is a Debug Guide in the `docs/` directory.

### New Java options
Preparing for openHAB 3, new options for the JDK that runs openHAB are now available:

 - Java Zulu 8 32-Bit OpenJDK (default on ARM based platforms)
 - Java Zulu 8 64-Bit OpenJDK (default on x86 based platforms)
 - Java Zulu 11 32-Bit OpenJDK (beta testing)
 - Java Zulu 11 64-Bit OpenJDK (beta testing)
 - AdoptOpenJDK 11 OpenJDK (beta replacement for Zulu)

openHAB 3 will be Java 11 only.  2.5.X is supposed to work on both, Java 8 and Java 11.
Running the current openHAB 2.X on Java 11 however has not been tested on a wide scale.
Please be aware that there is a small number of known issues in this: v1 bindings may or may not work.

Please participate in beta testing to help create a smooth transition user experience for all of us.
See [announcement thread](https://community.openhab.org/t/Java-testdrive/99827) on the community forum.

## May 31, 2020
### Stable branch
Introducing a new versioning scheme to openHABian. Please welcome `stable` branch.
Similar to openHAB where there'\''s releases and snapshots, you will from now on be using the stable branch. It'\''s the equivalent of an openHAB release.
We will keep providing new changes to the master branch first as soon as we make them available, just like we have been doing in the past. If you want to keep living on the edge, want to make use of new features fast or volunteer to help a little in advancing openHABian, you can choose to switch back to the master branch.
Anybody else will benefit from less frequent but well better tested updates to happen to the stable branch in batches, whenever the poor daring people to use `master` have reported their trust in these changes to work flawlessly.
You can switch branches at any time using the menu option 01.

### Supported hardware and Operating Systems
openHABian now fully supports all Raspberry Pi SBCs with our fast-start image. As an add-on package, it is supposed to run on all Debian based OSs.

Check the [README](#README.md) to see what "supported" actually means and what you can do if you want to run on other HW or OS.

### ZRAM per default
Swap, logs and persistence files are now put into ZRAM per default.
See [ZRAM status thread](https://community.openhab.org/t/zram-status/80996) for more information.' 24 90

Change to master branch and retry.

Yes. Now works. Thank you.

Hi. Sorry to re-open an old post but i think this is a valid continuation.
I am now setting up an oh3 installation on a rpi4 and will migrate everything across from my exising openhab2 rpi3 instance. I am ready to go but would first like to set up amanda to my nas. i have this running successfully on my oh2 instance.
I am running into the same issue as above but cannot find a way to resolve it.
I have mounted a share to the nas using fstab:

fstab entry:
192.168.1.200:/nfs/Public /mnt/nas   nfs     defaults        0       0

[22:13:45] openhabian@openHABianDevice:/mnt/nas$ ls -l
total 188
drwxrwxrwx+   2  501 openhabian  4096 Jan 11 03:00  amanda-backups
drwxrwxrwx+   2  501 openhabian  4096 Jan 11 21:58  amanda-backups-oh3

however the openhabian-config installation fails and the log shows it is tripping up when it tries to do:

[22:13:49] openhabian@openHABianDevice:/mnt/nas$ sudo chown -R backup:backup /mnt/nas/amanda-backups-oh3
chown: changing ownership of '/mnt/nas/amanda-backups-oh3': Operation not permitted

I’ve looked through quite a few posts but can’t quite seem to find where i’ve gone wrong.

Can anyone help?

Hi. I have now successfully tested a workaround which was:

Set up amanda back up to a usb drive first. this worked without the permission issue.
Manually edited the amanda.conf file:

openhabian@openHABianDevice:/etc/amanda/openhab-dir $ sudo nano amanda.conf

to replace the pointer folder that i want the amanda dump to be written to.

tpchanger "chg-disk:/mnt/nas/amanda-backups-oh3/slots"

I created the slots folders manually on the nas:

I was able run amdump (as user backup) and then amfetchdump (again as user backup) to restore an image into another folder on the nas:
To show the dump date code:

[21:28:07] backup@openHABianDevice:~$ amtape openhab-dir show
scanning all 15 slots in changer:
slot   1: date 20210112205304 label openHABian-openhab-dir-004
slot   2: unlabeled volume
slot   3: unlabeled volume
slot   4: unlabeled volume
slot   5: unlabeled volume
slot   6: unlabeled volume
slot   7: unlabeled volume
slot   8: unlabeled volume
slot   9: unlabeled volume
slot  10: unlabeled volume
slot  11: unlabeled volume
slot  12: unlabeled volume
slot  13: unlabeled volume
slot  14: unlabeled volume
slot  15: unlabeled volume

and then:

[21:36:19] backup@openHABianDevice:~$ amfetchdump -p openhab-dir openhabiandevice /dev/mmcblk0 20210112205304  > /mnt/nas/openhab_restore/openhabianpi-image-20210112.img

Note: there is an error now in the openhab amanda documentation at:

# How to backup your openHABian server using Amanda

## The need for recovery
First, make yourself aware how important a comprehensive backup and recovery concept is.
Yes, this text is the README on the backup software part for openHABian that you're reading, but take a couple of minutes to
read and think about recovery in a generic sense first. This might avoid a LOT of frustration.

So you have your smart home working thanks to openHAB(ian).... but what if a component of your system fails ?
First thing is: you need spare hardware of EVERY component that needs to work for your smart home to work.
Think of EVERY relevant component and not just the obvious ones. Think of your Internet router, switch, server, NAS and required
addons such as a ZWave or 433MHz radio or WiFi USB stick, proper power supplies and the SD card writer.

Now think of a recovery concept for each of these components: what do you have to do if it fails ?
If the SD card in your Pi fails because of SD corruption (a very common problem), you need to have a PREinstalled, at least
somewhat current clone SD card to contain all your current OS packages, including all helper programs you might be using (such
as say mosquitto or any scripts you might have installed yourself), and your matching CURRENT openHAB config, and more.
If you believe "in case of SD card crash, I'll simply reinstall my server from scratch", then think first!
How long will that take you? Are you even capable of doing that ? Will the latest version of openHABian/Linux packages be
guaranteed to work with each other and with your hardware ?
Do you REALLY remember all the parts and places of your system where you configured something related to your server/home

You need to replace openhabianpi with openhabiandevice as the host name.

No, the name is variable anyway.

4994james · January 16, 2021, 6:20pm

Agreed but the documentation perhaps could be amended with a rider that where it uses “openhabianpi” this should be the hostname set up in openhabian.conf?

I am now having the same issue as above where t states there was an error during setup. Currently on 3.0.0-1 and using the Main Branch. I’m not sure how to access the logs though?

4994james · March 1, 2021, 9:49pm

Set debugmode=maximum in /etc/openhabian.conf I believe will output all the data in the command line which can be seen once you exit the config screen.

Taffy · March 4, 2021, 8:02pm

debugmode was already set to maximum, saved and exited the file but didnt see any logs?

4994james · March 10, 2021, 7:57am

Sorry for the delay replying. I am no expert to be honest. But once you have closed the openhab-config tool you should see the various bits of script that the tool has output in the command line interface. Is that not the case?

Taffy · March 10, 2021, 9:08am

Unfortunately no it’s doesn’t. I have managed to do a manual backup and will keep doing so every time I make big changes until I can sort this out.

mstormi · March 10, 2021, 9:57am

It does. Configure your terminal to record it. Read the debug guide.

4994james · March 10, 2021, 11:30am

what terminal application are you using?

Taffy · March 10, 2021, 12:02pm

Putty

4994james · March 10, 2021, 12:16pm

Same here. I think the debug guide may be out of date in that putty no longer has a “lines of scroll back” option (at least my version 0.73 doesn’t). However i think this value must be set to some very high number by default so there should be nothing to do there.

If I launch openhabian-config and then exit it without doing anything else I see these lines in the CLI:

openhabian@openHABianDevice:~ $ sudo openhabian-config
[sudo] password for openhabian:
2021-03-10_12:10:44_GMT [openHABian] Checking for root privileges... OK

Do you at least see something like this?
