Nrjavaserial upgrade causes "Serial Error: Port /dev/ttyACM0 does not exist"

Setup, Configuration and Use Runtime
21

Maybe. I’m on the cloudbees build that was available via apt yesterday. I can check exact version when home later today.

22

I’m running 2.0.0~20161226183012

Here solution for the pine

As indeed it seems to be the recent update that causing havoc on the pine64, and iblockdev1 / liblockdev1-dev solution does not solve it on the Pine64 I rebuild the
org.openhab.io.transport.serial-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar with the earlier nrjavaserial (forum unfortunately does not allow me to attach it)

to get it working again:
bundle:list
(look for the bundle number e.g. 209 | Active | 80 | 2.0.0.201612232333 | openHAB Serial Transport Bundle
bundle:uninstall 209

than copy the org.openhab.io.transport.serial-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar to the /usr/share/openhab2/addons folder (apt install)

You may need to restart openhab

Same issue here. Running a raspberry pi 2, with the online version from about a week back; issue persisted after updating to the latest version as of today. I only noticed the issue today after installing the hue emulation and then restarting openhab, so suspect the restart of openhab after an earlier system update is when it started going wrong.

Palatia’s solution to install liblockdev1-dev fixed it for me.

25

I manually installed the liblockdev1 and liblockdev1-dev packages (not available via apt-get). The issue persists for me.

26

Thanks Marcel
I’m really new to openhab. Having a hard time understanding what I have to do.
I need to replace the current nrjavaserial with a older version?
If that is correct where can I get it?

27

I was able to get mine working. I had to remove the LCK file from /var/run/lock that persisted after stopping OH1 - and also ensure liblockdev1 and liblockdev1-dev were installed.

28

All, as this serial lib upgrade seems to cause more issues than it solves, I have just reverted the commit again (see here). The next distro build will come with the old lib again, so that the issue here should go away.

Downloaded latest package via apt-get and can confirm that I no longer get Not Found .
Thanks!!

I just did the latest update of openhab2 offline. My Aeon zwave is still not there. Most be something else?

31

I think the offline package is only build occasionally (maybe only once a day during the night). So a recent change in the code is not necessarily integrated immediately.

32

The online package was update today to resolve this:

Preparing to replace openhab2-online 2.0.0~20161226183012 (using .../openhab2-online_2.0.0~20161227112533_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement openhab2-online ...
Setting up openhab2-online (2.0.0~20161227112533) ...

It went from 3012 to 2533 as you can see.
Can you see is the offline package was also updated today?

Edit: Second one on the ball …

33

Hmmm. This what I just got doing an upgrade. Seems be over writing the same version

Ok I think I may have found the problem. Just dont know how to fix it. Some thing with my Java?

I submitted this reinstallation issue here last night. https://github.com/openhab/openhab-linuxpkg/issues/11

36

Is this supposed to be fixed with the latest build (#682, 2.0.0~20161229034207)?
I still get: Serial Error: Port /dev/ttyS1 does not exist
I have added the openhab user to dialout group and my /etc/default/openhab2 looks like this:
EXTRA_JAVA_OPTS="-Dgnu.io.rxtx.SerialPorts=/dev/ttyS1"
Btw, i do not use a RPi but a Odroid-C2 which also runs Ubuntu 16.04, but a 64-bit one, uname -m gives me aarch64. Might this be a problem?
The serialport and the controller (a RaZberry) is working and responding, i tested it with the MinOZW example from the OpenZWave project.

37

I am on a rPi2 with a Razberry and having the same problem even after installing build #694. On the offline and the online build I get bundle:list | grep serial
175 | Active | 80 | 3.12.0.OH | nrjavaserial
(where I was expecting to see something like 3.9.x from comments above) and the error persists:
Controller is offline to OFFLINE (COMMUNICATION_ERROR): Serial Error: Port /dev/ttyAMA0 does not exist.
(Note on rPi2 the Razberry is /dev/ttyAMA0).
The apt-get install is still Build #688 so I will do an update and try there.

I have made other comments on Zwave Binding Uninstalls[SOLVED] and Razberry is Offline
Thanks to all those who have posted so we have had things to try with this issue.

38

Anyone know how to revert to a version like Build #651?

39

Here is a solution, just in case someone has the same problem with a 64-bit system:
You have to run Openhab2 with a 32-bit JVM. The Serialport library used in Openhab2 currently does not has support for 64-bit.

Found the solution in a comment in this issue:

I loaded up 2.0.0b5 and found that nrjavaserial is not loaded but /dev/ttyAMA0 still does not exist.
Went back to Offline Snapshot Build #697 (there appears to be a need to delete all userdata/etc/ files to change between the two. Is this correct?) and nrjavaserial is version 3.12.0.OH and /dev/ttyAMA0 again does not exist.
Looking for a way to get my zwave devices working again.
Any help appreciated.
