OpenHab2 do not start as service anymore

Setup, Configuration and Use Runtime
1

Hi all,
I have this issue and I don’t know how to fix, and so I’m asking your help.
Today I installed AmazonDash binding and did procedure described at this page:
http://docs.openhab.org/addons/bindings/amazondashbutton/readme.html

I installed libpcap-dev and then run command to enable capture:
sudo setcap ‘cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=+eip cap_net_bind_service=+ep’ realpath /usr/bin/java

I don’t know if this is the root cause of my issue, because I do not reboot openhab since 2 weeks, but today it wont restart as service, and I have to run it from console with ./startup.sh and leave console open.

Running systemctl status, i got this:

root@OpenHab2:/usr/share/openhab2# systemctl enable openhab2

I checked on my system, and I have the metioned library in:
./opt/jdk/jdk1.8.0_102/jre/lib/amd64/jli/libjli.so
./opt/jdk/jdk1.8.0_102/lib/amd64/jli/libjli.so

I checked that permission are the samo on all other java files in this directory.
In addition looking at openhab running in console, i got this messages:

Pasted image813×194 9.42 KB

even is OpenHab seems to work fine.

Finally I found issue into setcap comman ran for enable Amazon Dash.
Removing setcap with this command:
setcap -r /opt/jdk/jdk1.8.0_102/bin/java

now openhab start, but Amazon Dash binding do not work anymore.

Is there a way to run Amazon Dash Binding and start openhab as a service?

Thanks a lot.

Marco

For me it worked without any problems with this setcap command:

sudo setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip `realpath /usr/bin/java`
5

Hi,
I installed openHab2 from repository, so it run as openhab user and non root.
I tried to add setcap permission as root and logged as openhab user, but in both case, openhab do not start as a service.

6

Same here. Although I’m using a manually installed openHAB2 online version, but runs under user openhab.

7

I tried again now,
if i run setcap, openhab do no stars as a service and got same errors i posted before.

I have to find another way to use amazon dash without using the binding.

Have same problem with openhab2
Using

sudo setcap -r `realpath /usr/bin/java

service openhab2 will start.
Using

sudo setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip `realpath /usr/bin/java`

service openhab2 will not start, error is

openhab2 karaf[12664]: /usr/bin/java: error while loading shared libraries: libjli.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

running openhab2 on raspberry pi3 (raspian)

Tested the following:
logged in as non root user

removed all capabilities by

sudo setcap -r $(realpath /usr/bin/java)

Java is working for non root user:

pi@openhab2:~ $ java -version
java version "1.8.0_111"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_111-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.111-b14, mixed mode)

settilng capabilities to java:

pi@openhab2:~ $ sudo setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip $(realpath /usr/bin/java)
pi@openhab2:~ $ java -version
java: error while loading shared libraries: libjli.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
pi@openhab2:~ $ sudo java -version
java version "1.8.0_111"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_111-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.111-b14, mixed mode)

Java is working only for root user.
Again removin capabilities:

pi@openhab2:~ $ sudo setcap -r $(realpath /usr/bin/java)
pi@openhab2:~ $ java -version
java version "1.8.0_111"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_111-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.111-b14, mixed mode)

Java is working for non root user

Any ideas how to solve the problem?

May by the only sollution is to grant sudo privileges to openhab user? In this case there is no need to setcap to get the Amazon dash button binding running.
