OH2 via Apt-get no habAmin UI?

I just switched from manual install to apt-get (online not offline) but as I get into PaperUI to enable Zwave etc, I notice there is no HabAdmin UI Plugin to enable?

Is this just intended to be downloaded manually? Or am I missing something? Just making sure I’m following best practice. \

Thaks!

How recent is the apt build? Is it updated nightly? I would guess that it’s too old to have HABmin included (but that’s a guess). If it’s older than about the middle of last week, then it won’t be included yet.

@sihui - ('m actually good on the Zwave part - just curious about habmin really but that’s good stuff you posted up for reference, thank you!

@chris - I got it from the newly updated linux apt-get (“openhab2 beta”) not the snapshot one (so was ASSUMING it was nightly). I did download the manual install and it was there and that was snapshot from about last week.

It’s http://dl.bintray.com/openhab/apt-repo2 testing main

I’m not familiar with the apt releases, however in general, if you’re using the beta version, then it’s a fixed snapshot. The last beta (beta3) was a few months ago from memory - it’s not updated until there’s a new release.

If you want a nightly update, then you need to use the snapshot version.

I’M an idiot!! I thought snapshots were the less released - sometimes… I swear i need to be chained to a pipe in the basement.

I’m even using --allow-unauthenticated ?

Until I get it figured out (some sysadmin I am - I blame lack of time) I just did the manual install and added the systemd stuff manually per the manual and it’s working a treat.

Although in both versions HabMin seems to be the older style… I’m still messing around with it.

Hi Branden,
What do you mean? How old, and what install did you do? A manual install on OH2 should just be a case of taking the JAR and dropping it into the addons folder. If you’ve grabbed the latest JAR, it shouldn’t be an ‘older style’.

CTRL + SHIFT + R (Mac) for the win because I’m a retard and was cacheing the old UI!! YAYYY!

Not sure what about your statement got me thinking to try hard-clearing the cache but I thank you for that!

Hello friend. Did you figure out how to fix those errors? I am having the exact same problem and havent been able to continue.

Not sure which problem ( I had a few there!) One was getting the newest snapshot - the other was a caching deal.

this one:

Yup - I didn’t follow that in the end - I decided to go with the manual install. Which I’m okay with.

That isn’t an OH problem - it’s how Ubuntu is acting about non trusted sources - I’m sure there is a write up somewhere on that error

I would search on Data from such a repository can’t be authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

In ubuntu sites (or google)

I am searching about the error as we speak. If I am not able to get it working I will have to go the manual route too.

Thanks!

Hello @m3ld0n, I didn’t encounter your problem but please follow the guide to install the snapshot release and try installing with apt --yes --force-yes install openhab2-offline.

Edit. Please try:

rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openhab.list
apt update
echo 'deb https://openhab.ci.cloudbees.com/job/openHAB-Distribution/ws/distributions/openhab-offline/target/apt-repo/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openhab.list
echo 'deb https://openhab.ci.cloudbees.com/job/openHAB-Distribution/ws/distributions/openhab-online/target/apt-repo/ /' | sudo tee --append /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openhab.list
apt update
apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates
apt --yes --force-yes install openhab2-offline

Hello @ThomDietrich, thats the guide I have been using. Weird thing is, I can install the fixed beta release with the steps on that guide without issues. Ran the commands you mentioned and still having trouble:

I did a purge of the previous installations but not sure if there may be some conflicting files/configuration left…

Are you on Ubuntu 16.04? Does this work? http://askubuntu.com/questions/732985/force-update-from-unsigned-repository-ubuntu-16-04

Yep I’m on 16.04. Already tried the –allow-unauthenticated option with the same result :sweat:
Also removed the apt-key I added when installing the fixed beta, just in case. Same problem.

Tested myself on a Ubuntu 16.04 installation without success. Maybe this can be solved by an extra setup step, but this should better be solved on server side - if possible.

@theo can you help?
