openHAB 2.0.0 Release Candidate

[Lolodomo]

Other minor thing: I can find such log entries in my file events.log while I would expect them more in openhab.log. Is it expected ?

@Lolodomo

In the userdata folder, we now have a “log” empty directory in addition to the usual “logs” directory. Is it expected?

I just install OH2RC1 on Windows and I don’t get this log subdirectory… just the normal logs one.

From what I see, these are ExtensionEvent type, so it seems normal to appear in the event.log

Anyway, I think (imho) that we should use/open new threads for issues and put in the title the version that we are running (e.g. OH2RC1). This thread is for the major announcement of OH2RC1, so I propose to keep it clean

Installation on a RPI2 in my case:

pi@raspberrypi2:~/openhab/userdata $ ls
cache  config  etc  jsondb  kar  log  logs  persistence  tmp  voicerss
pi@raspberrypi2:~/openhab/userdata $ ls log
pi@raspberrypi2:~/openhab/userdata $ ls logs
events.log  openhab.log

OH2 Not Starting After Upgrade to Build #688

OH2 fails to start after I upgraded from build #674 to #688. Via journalctl I see that the error is: start.sh[2542]: Error occurred shutting down framework: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /var/lib/openhab2/etc/custom.properties (No such file or directory) Has anyone else experienced this issue?

[Tomek]

Many thx It works

[rtvb (Robert)]

I noticed that my raspberry pi just received a new Java update:

jdk-8u121-linux-arm32-vfp-hflt.tar.gz

Perhaps wise to do some regression?

[Olivier92 (Roy)]

Hello,

I think I just installed it from the previous beta5 version but I am not quite sure it worked because after installing (all scripts looked ok) when I type the following command:
ssh openhab@localhost -p 8101
with password habopen
I get the following:
__ _____ ____
____ ____ ___ ____ / / / / | / __ )
/ __ / __ / _ / __ / // / /| | / __ |
/ // / // / __/ / / / __ / ___ |/ // /
_/ ./_// /// /// |/_____/
/_/ 2.0.0.b5
Release Build
It is normal? it there another way to check the version that is installed?

Thanks

[Dim (Angelos)]

@Olivier92

It is normal?

You are still on Beta 5.
To get RC1 you should do:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openhab2

Using the Bintray testing repository:

wget -qO - 'https://bintray.com/user/downloadSubjectPublicKey?username=openhab' | sudo apt-key add -
echo 'deb http://dl.bintray.com/openhab/apt-repo2 testing main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openhab2.list

Is this the right version for RC?

@j_wittenzellner

Is this the right version for RC?

No. You are currently on the Snapshot (#693) version
To switch from Snapshot versions to the testing versions (Beta, Release Candidate) you need to use another apt package repository.

Follow these instructions to go from Snapshot to RC1 (they also apply to your case):

A single distro from now on!

And the changes are now available for apt-get users! Remember if you haven’t done so already make sure you change to the Bintray Repo as @theo has explained. Install As always, be sure to take a backup! but all you need to do is install using the new package name. This will automatically uninstall openhab2-online or openhab2-offline and replace it with this version: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install openhab2 Note: Sometimes, the installation would ask you if you would like to replace …

(before, you need to switch repositories by modifying /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openhab2.list and using the testing repo):

wget -qO - 'https://bintray.com/user/downloadSubjectPublicKey?username=openhab' | sudo apt-key add -
echo 'deb http://dl.bintray.com/openhab/apt-repo2 testing main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openhab2.list

OR

you could stay on the snapshot apt repository and perform an upgrade to get the latest snapshot
Make sure that you have switched to the new bintray snapshot repo (don’t use the older snapshot apt repository at cloudbees)

wget -qO - 'https://bintray.com/user/downloadSubjectPublicKey?username=openhab' | sudo apt-key add -
echo 'deb http://dl.bintray.com/openhab/apt-repo2 unstable main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openhab2.list

http://docs.openhab.org/installation/linux.html#package-repository-installation

[andirs (Andi)]

I am also stuck on b5 somehow. My /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openhab2.list contains the right path but during the apt-get update it seems to be ignored and does not show the full path with */openhab/apt-repo2:

Ign http://dl.bintray.com testing/main Translation-en_GB
Ign http://dl.bintray.com testing/main Translation-en

Any suggestions?

[Dim (Angelos)]

@andirs

but during the apt-get update it seems to be ignored

not sure why this is happening…

I would try the following:

1. Make sure that your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openhab2.list file contains only 1 line: deb http://dl.bintray.com/openhab/apt-repo2 testing main
2. Make sure that you have added the openHAB 2 Bintray repository key: wget -qO - 'https://bintray.com/user/downloadSubjectPublicKey?username=openhab' | sudo apt-key add -
3. apt-get clean, then apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade

Edit: See 2 posts below for the correct solution (apt-get install openhab2) : openHAB 2.0.0 Release Candidate - #23 by Benjy

[andirs (Andi)]

1. check
2. check
3. apt-get clean was new for me but still doesn’t work

.b5 will have online and offline variants, but these have been since merged into one for RC1 and up and no new version of offline/online exists.

To upgrade, you should only need apt-get install openhab2 which will remove the old version automatically. From then on, upgrade will work as you intend.

THANK YOU!

this should be in OP, took me ages to find out why i didnt get the update…

[j_wittenzellner (John Wittenzellner)]

Thank you, I mistakenly copied the unstable repo. But now openhab won’t start anymore. It doesn’t even get to the point of creating logs, so I’m not sure where to start troubleshooting.

[Olivier92 (Roy)]

Thank you Dim,

I was right to worry. Unfortunattely, the method you describe is precisely the one I followed and which I retried (adding the clean in the middle):
wget -qO - ‘https://bintray.com/user/downloadSubjectPublicKey?username=openhab’ | sudo apt-key add -
echo ‘deb http://dl.bintray.com/openhab/apt-repo2 testing main’ | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openhab2.list
-> my files content are OK

sudo apt-clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

I even tried a
sudo apt-get install openhab2

openhab2 is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

But it remains stuck in beta5

Any clue? thanks

Olivier

@Olivier92

I even tried asudo apt-get install openhab2

This should have worked… (as described here: openHAB 2.0.0 Release Candidate - #23 by Benjy)

What is the output of the following command?:

apt-cache policy openhab2
