Broke OMV4 after installing chrony... Help?

Hello,

Yesterday, I noticed my NAS wasn't at the correct time so I thought it would be a great idea to install chrony.

Server was at the correct time, sure... But OMV web UI wasn't accessible at all.

/var/www/openmediavault/ was basically empty.

After seeking through Google and the forum, I found I could do that:

apt-get install --reinstall openmediavault #would not work because of dependency issues

apt remove chrony

apt-get install --reinstall openmediavault # worked

omv-engined -f -d # stalled

Now I can display the OMV login screen, but it seems to miss the files from the extra phpvirtualbox:

#cat /var/log/nginx/openmediavault-webgui_error.log

2020/09/25 08:20:52 [error] 15103#15103: *63 open() "/var/www/openmediavault/virtualbox/favicon.svg" failed (2: No such file or directory), client: 192.168.1.254, server: openmediavault-webgui, request: "GET //virtualbox/favicon.svg HTTP/1.1", host: "192.168.1.10"

I'm kinda worried since I've got active VMs that I need up and running, they are still running at the moment, but chances are they won't start properly if I reboot the host.

On login attempt, OMV showed:

Failed to connect to socket: No such file or directory

Error #0:
OMV\Rpc\Exception: Failed to connect to socket: No such file or directory in /usr/share/php/openmediavault/rpc/rpc.inc:140

#5 /var/www/openmediavault/rpc.php(45): OMV\Rpc\Proxy\Json->handle()

I've run:

omv-engined

After that, login was possible.

Of course, all my extras are missing now

I've then installed OMV extras with:

wget -O - https://github.com/OpenMediaVa…ckages/raw/master/install | bash

Now the OMV-Extras section of OMV shows:

RPC service 'OmvExtras' not found.

Error #0:
OMV\Rpc\Exception: RPC service 'OmvExtras' not found. in /usr/share/php/openmediavault/rpc/rpc.inc:99
Stack trace:
#0 /usr/sbin/omv-engined(537): OMV\Rpc\Rpc::call('OmvExtras', 'getKernelList', Array, Array, 1)
#1 {main}

Now that's where I'm stuck...

Any idea or help for me? Thank you!

Hello,

Thanks a lot for your insight.

It's weird that OMV is a dependency for NTP and not the other way around! I wouldn't have expected that.

Anyways, running apt-get purge openmediavault-omvextrasorg showed a few warnings:

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.

OMV Login shows:

Error #0:
OMV\Rpc\Exception: RPC service 'VirtualBox' not found. in /usr/share/php/openmediavault/rpc/rpc.inc:99

On OMV extra, still shows:

RPC service 'OmvExtras' not found.

And of course package list is empty.

I've cleared my browser cache and even tried private navigation to make sure it's not cache related: Same issue.

This error shows with basically any command involving apt:

Exception ignored in: <function WeakValueDictionary.__init__.<locals>.remove at 0x7f5691bf1510>

Found this: RE: Upgrade Debian 9 and 4.x

I tried the fix, which changed the error to

File "/usr/sbin/omv-mkaptidx", line 35, in <module>
import apt
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apt/__init__.py", line 26, in <module>

from weakref import WeakKeyDictionary
File "/usr/lib/python3.5/weakref.py", line 110
def remove(wr, selfref=ref(self), _atomic_removal=_remove_dead_weakref):

So I've reverted the change.

If anyone is willing to provide any more insight to fix this, that would be lovely!

Maybe that would be a great time to upgrade to OMV 5... ? Depends if mdadm RAID is still supported and if my VirtualBox machines would still work or not (I would be willing to switch to KVM if available, though, seems to me it has better performance after using it for work on RHEL)

Starting reinstall to OMV5. Yolo & fingers crossed.

Edit:

All done, flawless. Had to install Virtualbox 6 and phpvirtualbox by hand thanks to a great tutorial out here on this forum. Everything runs just fine

Zitat von crashtest

Here's to hoping it all works out.

For future ref; Operating System backup is easy and, as you're finding, a real good idea.

Thank you!

Well, in that case I assumed re-installing the whole system would basically take the same amount of time than restoring the backup, therefore I've got no backup of the OMV drive.

I'm very familiar with R1Soft (deploying and using it professionally) but it's paid and not cheap!

If you have a free (or cheap) and good way to backup the whole distro, I'd gladly take it!

crashtest Man, this doc/bible is absolutely awesome. Thanks!
