I had an openhabian image, made backup.zip, then I installed openhabian as a raspbian application, made restore from previous backup …

I have the following problems:

 ![log%20viewer%20not%20available](https://community-openhab-org.s3.dualstack.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/e/7/e7ed9871265ecbf6401dbad7354822a25c99c3d1.jpeg)  
1 - log viewer not available, I attach screen putty  
2 - offline waitin connection be as aviable openhab while in basicUI

THE SYSTEM WORKS EXCEPT FOR THESE TWO PROBLEMS

Did you choose the menu option to install frontail ? It is a separate application.

What menu option do you speak of? As I mentioned earlier I made the restore from backup.zip to get back all the configuration .. When I found this problem I tried to install log from openhabian-config but nothing doesn’t finish

I do not have my system available but hopefully I can steer you in the proper direction.  
Run `sudo openhabian-config` and select `60 Manual / Fresh Setup`. There should be an option there to select Frontail Log Viewer.

After the fresh install if you still have no Frontail log view then, in openhabian-config, select option 20 (Optional Components) then select 21 (Frontail log view).
