Failed to start Telegraf about lysmarine_gen HOT 10 CLOSED

Looks like you forgot to delete old partition and you cloned to SSD over some old data existing on it.

Did you follow “Getting Started Guide”?

SSD Boot  | Before doing it (if you had a previous installation), go into Disks tool from App Menu/Utilities/Disks and remove all partitions from your SSD drive.

from lysmarine_gen.

I have tried again using fdisk to delete partitions then running rpi-clone. Still the same issue of tlegraf not starting.

root@lysmarine:/home/user# fdisk /dev/sda

Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.36.1).
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
Be careful before using the write command.

I cloned a fresh image of the 5-17 build bbn-os. This worked without issue. I am not sure if I modified something in the last build or it was something in the build.

Thanks for responding. I just started working with your build and am very excited to use it more. Great job.

I plan to put a build document for my build shortly.

from lysmarine_gen.

Did you load any other software yourself after booting from BBN SD card?

telegraf is disabled on it. It wouldn’t attempt to start unless you have done something to enable it.

also file paths for telegraf in your log
do not match what is on BBN OS.

I’ve tried starting telegraf on mine it starts fine.
but its script is in

/etc/init.d/telegraf

so somehow you have configuration of your telegraf which didn’t come from BBN OS image, but from some other system.

You could have better idea how that could happen because you know what other steps you did.

I’d not trust this configuration. I would burn new SD card, erased all partitions from SSD and start loading system from scratch.

from lysmarine_gen.

I am starting from scratch with a clean burn. Here is the commands I ran on the other version. I use vim for editing and barrier to share the mouse and keyboard from my laptop. I don't see why vim or barrier would try to start telegraf but I will look into that.

~/add-ons/change-password.sh
sudo passwd root
~/add-ons/hot-fixes-install.sh
~/add-ons/timezone-setup.sh
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install vim -y
sudo apt-get install barrier -y
cp /usr/share/applications/barrier.desktop ~/.config/autostart/
vim ~/.config/autostart/barrier.desktop
mkdir .barrier
vim ~/.barrier/run-barrier.sh
chmod +x ~/.barrier/run-barrier.sh
sudo rpi-clone sda

from lysmarine_gen.

This is what I do before

rpi-clone

SSD Boot | Before doing it (if you had a previous installation), go into Disks tool from App Menu/Utilities/Disks and remove all partitions from your SSD drive.

from lysmarine_gen.

My cli list does not include the part where I used Disks utility to delete the partitions as outlined in your document. As stated this didn't work with an older build that I had played around with trying different things. Unfortunately I overwrote the SD card with that version and am not able to get history.

It works great now following your document and with the latest build. I'm sure earlier versions worked as well and I just did something.

apt upgrade

is also unnecessary. It does break things sometimes.

If something doesn’t work for you and and there is known fix via apt upgrade
I would just cherry pick package that needs to be upgraded and install only that one and dependencies via apt.

from lysmarine_gen.

Thanks for the heads up on that upgrade. I can upgrade individually as/if needed.

from lysmarine_gen.

You upgraded telegraf

doing
apt upgrade

somehow that upgrade breaks it.
:)

not all upgrades are safe in fact.
