Hi,

I installed a complete new OH2 on my RasPi2 in order to to get HabMin & HABPanel with the package installation.

It is a complete plain white installation with update & upgrade

unfortunately the system didn´t start up with OH2

sudo systemctl status openhab2.service

I’m having this same issue.

“Openhab2.service start request repeated too quickly, refusing to start”

I ran into the same problem while following the Package Repository Installation guide on
http://docs.openhab.org/installation/linux.html

So I tried to run the start.sh manually:
root@openHAB2:/usr/share/openhab2# ./start.sh server
Launching the openHAB runtime…
./runtime/karaf/bin/karaf: 167: ./runtime/karaf/bin/setenv: die: not found
./runtime/karaf/bin/karaf: 180: [: Illegal number:

./runtime/karaf/bin/karaf: 437: ./runtime/karaf/bin/karaf: ./bin/java: not found

I think my Java installation failed - so I checked
java -version

It failed

After a bit og googling I managed to install Java with these commands (not sure they are all needed):
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo apt-get install python3-software-properties
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
