Meteobridge on RPI Fails to Load. **solved**

[scriven33]

We had a power cut, which finished just over an hour ago.
My installation of Meteobridge is on a RPi, which downloads the software, but then doesn't actually load it.

These are the last few lines which is what I would expect to see, then Meteobridge should load shortly afterwards.

I noticed that there was a new release today - perhaps it has a bug?

What does "/var/log/start.log" tell? There the Meteobridge start-up process is logging progress.

Very little.

### start.sh

similar issue here with my RPI

I updated license key then rebooted
log in and end at meteobridge landing page
image looks to have loaded fine from what I can see on the landing page
I cannot log on to read the /tmp/image.tgz' saved [4403014/4403014]

Just rebooted to update - can't get past the Meteobridge Landing Page (FW 1.3) - unplugged and restarted 3 times.

There is a bash syntax error in setup.sh in the recent release on line 737.

Code: Select all

  if [ ! -L /root/.ssh ] ||
  then

The double pipe symbol here suggest an OR condition but one was not provided. Therefor the then clause on line 738 is unexpected and the script fails.

While it is not an ideal solution in order to work around this and start the application until this is fixed you can ssh to your raspi. Login using the username/pw you setup or root and the default password if that has not been changed. Then change directories to /home. Remove the double pipe on line 737, save the file. Then directly run setup.sh in the CLI. Then the application stack should be running and accessible.

If your install is set to look for new releases on reboot you cannot simply reboot the system nor can your run the start.sh script in root's home folder. Both of these result in a new download from the web that will put the broken setup script back in place.

Since we don't know what the OR conditional was supposed to be line 737 needs to look like this until it is fixed.

Code: Select all

  if [ ! -L /root/.ssh ]
  then

Thank you for this. I can confirm it has worked.
For anyone not completely familiar with Linux, SSH in to the device,
CD /home
then

vi setup.sh

Page Down to line 737
Then follow the steps here to edit the file:

Once back to the usual prompt, type ./setup.sh to start the app.

Once back in to the console, go in to Administration and change the setting for version control from get latest to stick to version 5.6 and then reboot. It will restart and you will have a working version again without any further changes. However back in to Administration again and change the version control to "Use Installed Version" as it will be back to get the latest, which will make it stay on 5.6 until this issue is resolved.

Many thanks, that worked!

Again..Thanks!!

I am far from a Linux guru, thanks for the how to

was up and running in no time

[K7RMK]

Just had this happen to me. Thought I fried my SD card or something and was about to order some new gear. Thanks!

[badwolf]

It worked on mine too thank you

[admin]

Thanks for spotting and fixing this. Just released update is fine again for RPI platform.

[norvegese]

How do I log into Raspberry to make the change?

[admin]

not needed anymore, just reboot. When RPI loads newest application stack the updated code will be loaded ans executed.
