openHABian hassle-free openHAB Setup

I don’t like the “error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/arm-linux…”, could you please retrieve this and any surrounding lines from /var/log/syslog?

When I do sudo nano syslog, I get permission denied.

  1. I don’t see sudo :slight_smile:
  2. instead of dir you should use ll (which is an alias for ls -la)
  3. If you are interested in learning something new, look into the text editor vim. It’s amazing but you’ll have to learn a few things.
  4. Here’s how I would do something like this, as a general advice: open one console and execute sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog - then open a second console and execute sudo systemctl restart smbd.service - observe the first window.

Shame on me: Got sudo in mind, but it didn’t reach the keyboard. :slight_smile:

Here is the syslog:

Feb 28 16:44:37 openHABianPi smbd[2418]: Segmentation fault
Feb 28 16:44:37 openHABianPi smbd[2418]: Starting SMB/CIFS daemon: smbd/usr/sbin/smbd: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/samba/libutil-tdb.so.0: nonzero padding in e_ident
Feb 28 16:44:37 openHABianPi smbd[2418]: failed!

Now we know the problem we just need to find a solution ;)… hmm what’s special about your system? What did you install on top of the base installation? Did you play around with wifi or bluetooth?

@RHINESEL could you check if your situation is the same?

This morning I switched from openhab 2.0.0-1 (Release Build) to openHAB 2.1.0~20170227013157-1 (Build #814)

Edit: Could this issue be related to sudo openhabian-config when I prepared the Serial Port two days ago?
(see post #751 above)

Edit: Did you play around with wifi or bluetooth? No, not as far as I know.

Seems like the owncloudclientcmd does unfortunately not follow symlinks.
So I edited /etc/fstab and added the following lines:

/usr/share/openhab2 /opt/openhab2/openhab2      none bind
/etc/openhab2       /opt/openhab2/conf          none bind
/var/lib/openhab2   /opt/openhab2/userdata      none bind
/var/log/openhab2   /opt/openhab2/logs          none bind

Sync to cloud runs fine now. :slight_smile:

I get a similar error:

I didn’t do anything yesterday. I might have had a power drop which caused a reboot since one of my thermostats isn’t connecting to the wifi. The only thing I’ve done recently is to do the update to Openhabian but I never restarted the Pi since. I will note that during the update I forgot to remove Java and switch to Zulu but since it was listed as optional I didn’t worry about it and just figured to do it next time.

Edit: Just removed Oracle and added Zulu. No change. Tried to install Samba from the menu again and saw the wrong ELF class warning about the library flash by quickly. Is it pulling the wrong library? Not sure if that library is being downloaded or if it’s something that’s already there that it’s trying to use.

Edit2: Also, my password/user never changed to openhabian:openhabian. That should be the new one when logging in via Putty, right?

A little research indicates that the library class is 64 bits (ELFCLASS64) but Pi2 runs a 32 bit OS. The Pi3 runs 64 bit. Pine64 I’m assuming is 64…

Was this changed in the last update? Sorry if I’m asking silly questions, I barely understand what I’m even typing (hence me using Openhabian!).

Hi there,

did you change anything on the most recent image (openhabianpi-ua-netinst-20170218-git11d8ebc)? I just downloaded and installed the image but the Standard pi/raspberry combo does not work. It just tells me “wrong password” (and no, didn’t use a “z” instead of a “y” :-))

Any idea ?

Thanks a lot
Frank

Well sure there were changes, that’s why there was an update :smiley: You are already on the right track. This is related to the latest release. In fact you just have to read the release notes above the download: https://github.com/openhab/openhabian/releases

These release notes plus some extra comments were also posted here, this post is linked in the first post so everyone is able to find it.

In general all the latest info can be found on the documentation page: http://docs.openhab.org/installation/openhabian.html

Ok, I didn’t explain what I ment, sorry: Isn’t it that the image used to use the standard Raspbian User/PW combo pi/raspberry before? So due to your reply I just discovered, that this changed to openhabian/openhabian (which is just unneccessary longer than just “pi” :-)).
What was the point to change that, if I may ask?

While we stayed with the default login in the beginning, this was not as handy anymore, when openHABian moved on to other systems. I wanted something shorter too but this was up to you guys :wink: see: openHABian hassle-free openHAB Setup - #731 by ThomDietrich

Could you please explain, what you did exactly?
Did you first deinstall something? Did you do a fresh install of openhabian, openhab2 or samba?

@ThomDietrich:
Any change you’ll include the fstab changes in the next release?

Hey, is this a common situation that when I try to configure items via the raspi-config that I always get an error?
I tried:

  • Changing the keyboard layout --> Error
  • Changing the boot menu to GUI --> Error

And so on. So what’s “Hassle-free” on this? I thought it was supposed to be used for non-Linux-enthusiasts? I cant even change the keyboard layout without using command line. Am I right?

Ciao

I think you have slightly the wrong idea. OpenHabian helps you set up an OpenHab system for non Linux experts, but there are some things about Linux you will have to learn. Trust me though, if you had ever set up OpenHab by yourself without this service you’d appreciate the hours upon hours it probably has saved from your life.

It is not an “off the shelf” box solution. It runs on a Linux PC and there is no getting around having to learn the basics. I’m only a novice, I Google things everyday but I’m slowly catching on…

Well, I actually set up OpenHAB 1.7 on Raspi by myself a year ago. With NOOBS as a basis. So I know there is a simple GUI to use. But as far as I understand there is no way to have the Openhabian installation to be used with a GUI. And there’s the question: why? How can I install a GUI or is it not possible? How can I change the keyboard layout if not by using the raspi-config?
Openhabian seems to me simple in the first way but then it’s like it always has been: Linux-guys who think others have to use a terminal… It’s annoying but that’s the way it is. I dont have to use this kind of installation… :slight_smile:

There was discussion from another member about using the GUI with openHabian, I believe it’s up in this thread, maybe about a month ago… I don’t know what the outcome of the discussion was.

And, OpenHab can be installed on other platforms too…
