openHABian hassle-free openHAB Setup

I got it: With Knoppix 7.7 I could read and save my configs

Happy to hear that!
Next you should run a health test on your SD card. If you want to play safe, use a new one. Causes for a corrupted filesystem are mostly unexpected power loss and an aged sd card: http://hackaday.com/2016/08/03/single-board-revolution-preventing-flash-memory-corruption

On your next system you should use some backup solution. I am using github personally.
A backup solution will eventually (I can’t promise anything short-term) become a part of openHABian.

Hello,

I just wanted to creat a sitemap via eclipsedesigner.
If I want to open the openHAB-conf (\OPENHABIANPI<file://OPENHABIANPI>) folder, appears:
„ the choosen directory is not a valid openHABconfiguration directory. Please chosse a different one.“
What shall I do?

http://docs.openhab.org/installation/designer.html
http://docs.openhab.org/installation/linux.html#mounting-locally

In order to configure your openHAB setup, you will need a mounted network share to your configuration.

Thank you for your answer.
I ve got this network share. I connected my raspberyy pi with openhab:habopen and all my folders are shown. But if I want to open this folder in eclipse designer comes this error.

You need to mount it locally. Meaning the share \\openhabianpi\openHAB-conf needs to be mapped to a drive letter like F:\

Ah ok… I always opened it by network. Was this my mistake?

Yes. Like many other software applications, the Designer needs a local drive to work on. Do you think that’s not clear enough in the Links I’ve pasted above?

no it is clear, but my english skills arent so good, so i a just flew over the letters and the comands :slight_smile:

What does this mean?

Still the same… :frowning:

Is there any news regarding the pine image?
Any current experiences?

I remember that i have had similar problems when I played around with multiple sd-cards.

Did you really use the same card?
I tried a new setup based in the old image which I have put onto a new sd-card which was somehow problematic.

With the exact same sd card as earlier, the system was running fine.

Yes there is :slight_smile: I’ve been busy and the Pine64 image is in it’s final moments. Would be great if you could join here and test the latest build from a few hours ago:

Hey everyone!
openHABian is slowly coming to other platforms and we decided to switch from pi:raspberry or ubuntu:ubuntu to one openHABian wide username+password combination. It’s your time to vote :wink:

  • openhabian:openhabian
  • enthusiast:smarthome
  • smart:home

The poll will be open for a few days.

I would suggest to add this possibility to the utility as it is existing in raspi-config.

Why not openhab and habopen?
