I’m having a problem getting Openhab3 to run. I originally had Openhab2 running on an Ubuntu PC. I then starting trying out Openhab3 on a Raspberry PI. Openhab3 was running fine, I had everything set up the way I wanted. All my rules were running fine. So now I’ve moving my Openhab3 to to the Ubuntu PC. I removed Openhab2 from it and used openhabian to install Openhab3. I restored the Openhab3 backup from my Raspberry PI to the Ubuntu PC. I tried to view the Openhab3 menu and log but its not working. Is there a certain command to start it up or something. Any help would be appreciated.
Check if openhab is running:
systemctl is-active openhab.service
it should return “active”.
Were you able to access openhab before you restored everything?
Yes, it does say “active”.
No, I don’t think it was running before the restore either. I just thought once I restored stuff it would start working.
Hi @MikeH
Are there any files in /var/log/openhab?
Are there any errors at the bottom (you’ll need to scroll) of the command:
sudo journalctl -u openhab -b
Yes, there are files in /var/log/openhab. I see:audit.log, events.log, and multiple openhab.log’s
There are errors in journalctl:

Feb 11 09:11:46 openhab karaf[1054]: ... 18 moreDo you have the correct java version instaled ?
I think I installed zulu 11 32 bit from the openHABian menu. Is that correct?
That should be good. You may verify if it is installed by running: java --version
Maybe I don’t have zulu 11. This is what the java -version showed:
java version “1.8.0_201”
Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_201-b09)
Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.201-b09, mixed mode)
That is java 8. For OH3 java 11 is required.
I did the openHABian menu to install it. Not sure what happened.
how can I install it manually? I tried through openHABian again and then checked and it’s still java 8
You used menu entry 45 and zulu 11 was shown there ?
Closing openhabian-config menu after installation also shows that zulu 11 was installed ?
Yes, tried that through the openHABian menu, but it never worked. It was still java 8. Now I’m messed up more after I tried the link below to install it. After executing those commands I get this when I check the java version:
-bash: /usr/bin/java: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
right. exec format error is the wrong binary format for your hardware.
What does
file -L /usr/bin/java
show ?
and what does e.g.
file /bin/ls
show ?
/usr/bin/java: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3, for GNU/Linux 2.6.26, BuildID[sha1]=aea2077415200ba36a0077f97a06a977726c32d7, not stripped

Could you check which files you have in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ .
Especially what is the content of files that start with zulu in the name.
You wrote you restored a backup from PI to PC. That is about OH2 / OH3 backup not a complete system backup, right ?
Not sure, what you mean. This is what I did:
- This computer originally had OpenHAB2 on it.
- I wanted to try out OpenHAB3 so I installed it on a Raspberry PI
- When I was comfortable with OpenHAB3 I did a backup of OpenHAB3
- On computer I got rid of Openhab2, I think I did a purge
- Then I used OpenHabian to install OpenHab3
- Then I restored my Openhab3 backup

Which files do you need contents?
All the zulu files have one line at the top, with a # sound in front of it
Try to run
dpkg-query --showformat '${Status}\t${Package}\t${Version}\t${Architecture}\t${Origin}\t${Section}\n' -W | column -ts $'\t' | grep zulu
This should list the installed java packages from zulu repositories.
Check the architecture column. There must be at least one package that is not amd64 nor x86 but arm.
Note down the package names of the arm packages.
Deinstall them with
sudo apt-get remove package-name
Remove the file zuluzulu-embedded.list ( or rename the extension to zulu-embedded.list.old )
Then update the repository cache: sudo apt-get update
What is the content of
zulu-embedded.list
zulu-openjdk.list
Do a
dpkg -l | grep java
